Our client, a citizen of the U.S., filed an I-129F Fiancé petition for her fiancé in Morocco. That I-129F was approved, but at the interview, the consular official believed that the beneficiary was only coming to the U.S. to seek better employment opportunities. Then, our client went to Morocco again and the two were married. She subsequently filed an I-130 petition for him, now as her spouse, but before an interview, USCIS denied that application, as they did not believe in the legitimacy of the marriage. That I-130 was taken up on appeal before the BIA, but the BIA dismissed it as well. Attorney Furqan re-filed the I-130 with a wealth of evidence to support the relationship, including evidence of the many trips that she had taken to Morocco over the last 3 years. USCIS finally approved the I-130.
