US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCase reaffirmed
My husband who is a Us citizen filed an i130 for me last two years.it was approved and we went through the NVC successfully.I got an interview date and attended,after the interview I was issued a 221g form and told by the officer that my filed is gonna be returned to the uscis.my husband and I waited for 6months after filing the writ of mandamus to sue the uscis and also expedite the process.last month we received a notice of intent to revoke and request for furthe evidence.we submitted more than enough evidence and it was reaffirmed within 22days and we were told that the case is being returnef to the department of state for visa processing.we contacted NVC and they told us it has been physically shipped to the US embassy in accra ghana.I confirmed that by tracking it on DHL website.what I want to know is when will I get the interview date.pls help.I'm missing my man badly!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionCalled NVC
Hey folks!
My hubby called the Nvc last night to ask about my returned file and an interview date.They told him it takes 30days for DOS to receive the file and get it into their system,it also takes 30days for them to invite me to the embassy.Its exactly 38days since NVc forwarded the reaffirmed case.So this means I will have to wait for another 30days and see if I would get an appointment date.I'm really pissed over here.what a journey!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI need an answer ASAP
Hello vjer,

I hope everybody is well. My quick question is that I was notified by DOS that the embassy has mailed me a Call in letter which I did not receive as at now.And I still have the Call in letter the us embassy in Accra sent me last year inorder to come pick up my package,can I use that same letter to go to the embassy or I need to wait to receive a new one.Since its taking forever to receive the one they just mailed,I'm thinking if I can use the previous one.
I need an answer quick.
Thanks in advance!

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionHow often do you guys communicate with your spouses abroad
Thanx a lot my dear Vj members.my husby calls me every other day and sometimes every 2 I'm not too comfortable with.previous he was calling twice weekly and I also call like twice in a week.but I informed him later that I need him to talk to me often and he now calls me every other day.I want to tell him to call me everyday before going to work,I hope that does not mean I'm asking for too much.he doesn't do text messaging or chat online,that's one problem I have with him.thanks once again for your wonderful replies.Gud day or night depending on the time.

Whiles browsing the net today,I found the Department of State's contact number which I can call to find out if an interview has been scheduled for me since because the DOS knows when an interview is scheduled. So I called the number and spoke with a lady,I gave her my name,your name and my case number.She then told me that the embassy has sent a Call In letter to the applicant on October 13th 2010,so I should wait for the letter before going to the embassy.
How long will it take for me to to get that letter?

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion19 week till Reaffirmed CR1 interview!!
Actually, after I was notified that my case has been reaffirmed and sent to DOS for visa processing. I called NVC and they said they shipped it a week after it was reaffirmed because they already processed it. On 13th october, that is exactly one month when Nvc told me they sent it to embassy in accra,I caleed the department of state to ask if my file has been received and opened at Us embassy accra. They told me that the embassy has mailed me a letter to come to the embassy to pick up appointment package.Since it will takes forever for me to receive that letter and also I have a copy of the letter from last year,I have it because they mailed it to me regarding my first interview. I took the letter from last year to the embassy and they allowed me pick up my appointment package on 15th october If I'm right.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionEvidence which may be presented to meet the public charge provisions of the law.
Thanks for the quick reply! I thought as much that it may be the affidavit of support. Thank u once more.
LonelycouplezFemaleGhana2010-11-17 06:49:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionEvidence which may be presented to meet the public charge provisions of the law.
I saw this on the optional form 167 which was included in my packet 3.I want to know if I need to get this document.it states that:
The immigration and nationality Act requires that an applicant for a visa to establish to the satisfaction of the consular officer at the time of application for a visa, and also to the United states,that he or she is not likely at any time to become a public charge.Therefore he or she can present a statement from a senior officer of a bank showing present balance of applicant's account ,date account was opened and the number of amount of deposit and withdrawals during the past 12months. I want to know if this is required for CR1 interview or its just for immigrants who are immigrating on employment basis.

I need an answer,

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhat's is the deal....
hello there,
after the embassy receives you case,it needs additional 30days or more to review it before sending you a call in letter to pick up your app package. in my case i called dos after 30 days and they told me the embassy has mailed a call in letter to me.uptil now i hae not received the letter. just after getting that info from dos i emailed the embassy and they replied within 7days with a letter asking me to present it at the gate before i will be allowed to get my package. i will advise you email the embassy right away bcos you will never receive that letter they claim they mailed.
hope this will be helpful.
