biggish data

Kiya, I was with him at his last inteview and the consular officer gave me a form with a bunch of statutes and circled the same one she referenced to the congressioanl aid. I looked it up yesterday and its pertaining to a Labor Certificate. I think this merits a call to a lawyer. I'll definityly get in touch with EI by tomorrow and get his take on it. By the way, I forgot to thank you for his contact info. I'll keep you posted.

I have SOME news. My congressman's office forwarded the response from the Embassy today.

"The petition is being returned to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under Section 212(a)(5)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The decision of the consular officer is not final, however. A decision to revoke a petition, or to return it to us for continued processing, rests with DHS. If the petitioner wishes to pursue his application for a fiancé visa, he should contact his local USCIS office for further consideration."

I looked up Section 212(a)5(A) and it reads as follows:

Section 212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act reads:

http://travel.state....ities_1364.html

(a) Classes of Aliens Ineligible for Visas or Admission.-Except as otherwise provided in this Act, aliens who are inadmissible under the following paragraphs are ineligible to receive visas and ineligible to be admitted to the United States:

5) Labor certification and qualifications for certain immigrants.-

(A) Labor certification.-

(i) In general.-Any alien who seeks to enter the United States for the purpose of performing skilled or unskilled labor is inadmissible, unless the Secretary of Labor has determined and certified to the Secretary of State and the Attorney General that-

(I) there are not sufficient workers who are able, willing, qualified (or equally qualified in the case of an alien described in clause (ii)) and available at the time of application for a visa and admission to the United States and at the place where the alien is to perform such skilled or unskilled labor, and

(II) the employment of such alien will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of workers in the United States similarly employed.

(ii) Certain aliens subject to special rule.-For purposes of clause (i)(I), an alien described in this clause is an alien who-

(I) is a member of the teaching profession, or

(II) has exceptional ability in the sciences or the arts.

I'm sending a reply to the Senator to alert him to this EXPLANATION from the embassy and the fact that my husband is applying for an Immigrant Visa, not a LABOR CERTIFICATION. Don't know how much good it will do, but there is definitely an error here.

Wish me Luck. At least the ball is rolling. Makes me feel a little better.

Kiva,

Thank you for your reply and for all of your advice. I'm glad you mentioned the 2006 tax return issue. I knew that its possible to get his ITIN but I wasn't sure if it was legal for me to file jointly with him. Since you mentioned it, I will look into doing this since I haven't filed yet.

Originally, I was waiting for my husband to get here and to have our church wedding in July to change name, but since returning from the Embassy, I've changed EVERYTHING, the only thing pending is my passport and I sent that in on 3/8...so I should have it back in 6-10 weeks. I've also started adding him to my utilities and such. Washington Mutual, my bank, suggested I open a joint account with him Online to circumvent the Patriot Act regualtions. I can start using the account as soon as its opened. I plan to use this account for any bank transfers back and forth. I also plan on visiting him in late April or early May and we're planning to meeting in Madrid, Spain for a vacation in Europe this October (maybe a little late for the IRLetter), but we're following your advice in each category. I've sent my FOIA letters and ccd my Senator's office (they've been involved since week 1). I'm getting letters from everyone that knows us and as soon as I have them together I'll send them to the CSC and NVC.

Sister, thank you again for your support, not only towards me, but what you do for everyone in this community. If you ever think its not worth it, think of me. I don't know where I would have been without you. NOT ONE of the 5 lawyers I spoke to (and paid $350 in fees to) gave me 1/8 of the info that you've provided. You're worth you're weight in GOLD.

XOXOX

I'm posting tonight because I just need a little moral support. Its been four weeks since the denial. I've processed the whole thing and I think I'm finally allowing myself some time to grieve. I'm grieving all of the plans that are now delayed. The moments that we won't share together and the difficult year ahead of us without any certainty to the outcome. It was a beautiful spring day in Georgia and I sat in my room and cried all day because I expected to share this spring with my husband and it won't happen. I'm so angry. At myself, at the system, I don't even know at what anymore. Its springtime and of course wedding season is in full swing. I was planning our wedding for July. My daughter picked the date: July 7, 2007 (07/07/07), she said it would be a lucky number. Now we have to cancel plans and reservations. I'm sorry. I'm venting. I feel so lonely. I feel guilty for not being happy for others, especially those on the VJ Colombia Club where I've been such an active member. I can't even bear to go in there and read anymore. I feel so bad for feeling that way. I feel terrible at myself. I hope that here, some of you can understand how I feel. I'm doing and doing and doing, but today I'm really FEELING like ######. I know this will pass, but for right now I'm feeling raw. :crying:

thanks for listening.

Chi.... I just spent the last two hours reading EVERY entry on this thread and it was SOOO cool to find your post at the end.

To answer your question about the denial..the consular officer said that she found inconsistencies in our answers (of 50 or so questions, there were maybe 3 inconsistencies). To me she stressed the online dating issue and the time between meeting on line and marrying (7 months). To my husband she made a big deal of our age difference (10years) and why I didn't meet his parents (he was raised by his grandparents and has little contact with Mom and Dad). I guess we through up several 'red flags'.

Most of the posters on this thread complain about Morracco, but getting a visa in Colombia has been as difficult if not more difficult FOREVER. If you think its hard to travel in this world with a middle eastern passport (any Arab nation), than you now know what its like to travel on a COLOMBIAN passport for the past 30 years. And I've now seen several denials from Bogota for SPOUSES, reaffirming some of the concerns on this thread regarding the treatment of "families" by our own government.

Chi, I'm totally freaked out about your timeline. I can't imagine another 17 months away from my husband! Thank you for your courage in seeing things through and congratulations on your final outcome. That goes for KIVA too and everyone else that is posting in this thread. I've got my FOIA letters ready to mail out.

As far as the I-130, its still in CSC, the I-824 was sent in efforts to get it transferred to NVC, but NOW I almost wish I'd not sent the I-824. For what I've learned from you guys, I've just thrown $200 out the window...(and that under advise from a very good immigration lawyer, what a load of #######)! As I relied on VJ for everything else thus far, I should have done the same on this issue, but the truth is this thread was HARD to come by. It took a lot of searching and reading to find the RIGHT KEY WORDS to find it. Where is it PINNED to? I' just saved the topic on my Favorites.

I have more comments and questions, but I'm kind of sleepy. Good night VJ, thanks Chi for your reply. I'll keep posting my updates as they come along.

I'm so thankful for finding this thread. I'm on VJ almost 8 hours a day and it took me two weeks to find it. A little late to try to stop things at the embassy level but in time to start making some moves to prepare myself for the "Intent to Revoke" letter. I've read only a few posts, but already I've learned a HUGE amount!!! Thank you all for sharing your stories and experiences.

I've told my story on several threads, so if you're very intersted, visit colombia club in the K3 forum. The details are there. (I'm sorry i'm being lazy)

At this point I've
1. contacted my senator and he has responded with a letter and after a call to his office they have assigned a case manager who was very sweet and told me she has requested the file from USCIS and told me I could call her anytime for updates.

2. interviewd several attorneys who have each assured me that I have an excellent chance at a reaffirmation. Several have said there is no doubt that I have more than enough evidence to prove the validity of my marriage and that the consular officer's questions were 'borderline inappropriate'.

3. i'm STUDYING everyting I can about the process.

4. i've sent in my I-824 (at the suggestion of one attorney) to request that my APPROVED I-130 application be forwarded to the NVC. At best, I'm hoping it will be at the embassy at the same time as my 'reaffirmed' I-129F and that my husband can be issued the Immigrant visa in order to 'make up some lost time' by avoiding the AOS process altogether. I really don't want to end up with an interview prior to the "intent to revoke" evaluation b/c we're almost certain it will be sent back to the NVC as well., but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

5. i'm requesting all the suggestions and feedback I can get from those of you ahead of me in the process.

I am happy you had success, but I think it is darn low of you to come in here and blame fellow VJ'ers for their their cases being returned. You don't really know anything about their cases and it is unfair and unsupportive to blame them.

If your love IS real like you claim, why ALL the training??? Are you worried you wouldn't of passed without it?

[/font][/size]

am sorry if you take it that way, but am sure some guys here wouldn't admit to their fiancées how they exactly screwed up their interview. am not blaming them for that because am sure they did what they were able to do, so am just trying to figur things out, i don't think there were many moroccan guys who posted every details of interview here, but me i shared my little experiences with ppl having their interview soon and it's also for ppl who had their cases returned to states and waiting inshallah for an other interview to avoid any mistakes. when i said training that doesn't have ANY thing with feelings, it's just for interview to know how to answer to their questions, my point is to train answers in english , phone numbers, adresses, because it' always the same thing for everyone having interview and even consulars are drilling questions so easily because they are used to that, so i want guys here to be like them train questions and answers so as their ears to not be surprised by questions because their girls were asking the same thing, so once they are with consular they would feel like they are with their girls

. hope you dig it now

right noura .?

thank you very much for discussing your point .it's all for us for you for everyone here to get things clarified and am sure many ppl here they don't mind to be blamed if it's to help them .

good luck :thumbs:

Simo, Congratulations and thanks for the long detailed explanation. It's terrible that we have to work so hard to justify our relationships, but unfortunately that's the difference between getting a visa and not getting one many times, and since we all want to be together, that's what we just have to do.

I'm sure your message here will help anyone else getting ready to go through the same thing.

You have certainly practiced your English here with us enough, and you will be so much more prepared for life here in the states than those who haven't. Just be prepared to not understand street talk. Poor Abdel still looks at the people he meets on the bus and says "I have no idea what you just said." He has no trouble most of the time understanding educated people though, and academic talk. You're coming to Georgia too, right? Atlanta? You'll only be about 4 hours from us so we'll have to get together some time after you and Carrie have a very long honeymoon.

thank you very much liz and abdel ,yes would be great to meet inshallah and have some nice tajine for dinner

and yes everything getting better alhmdullah and will be much better thanks to my loving brillant princess (L)

Congrats ! Mabrook !

Can I ask a dumb question ?

Why is it that EVERYONE that goes through Casa gets on AR ? Is it like that with other embassies or just casa ?

well we're now used with that AR option, everyone wants at least to get that rather than get case returned to the states, but it's a security process for them ,maybe they have informations that some terrorits are trying to get to the states thru morocco ,and i couple girls on K-1 didn't get AR, they had their visa issued right away and told to be there next day at 3 to pick up visa .so for some reason they approve girls right away and give guys AR .

thank you very much for your post .

morning ladies and gentlmen

first of all i wonna thank everyone here for your support, help, sharing your experiences and everything .
so i had interview on thurs 27th finally, so am back after medical exams to share my interview experience like most of you did.
of course i went to casa on wedn in the train, spent the night in a hotel very close to train station(CASA VOYAGEURS), relaxed , watched some soccer game at the café in the evening ,got dinner and went to bed.
i woke up at 6 morning ,took taxi from hotel to consulate, was so early but good to be there to see ppl and get some stress releived before they open

, so there is a nice quiet café close to consulate named BIVERLY where i took my princess's favorite bread with chocolat(croissants) with coffee

helped alot to relax and get nice air .
then took my 2 big bags with tons of papers to the consulate, to start serious things. bunchs of ppl were there but most of them are lottery visa's, so first thing i did, i asked security guy he showed me my place, so it was the shortest line :dance:

,went thru secutity stuff outside then again inside, phone off leave it with security sevices,then go to wait in the room with ppl. it's a room like in class, many chairs and consular officer's windows in front of you,before you take a place ask security guy what to do and tell him your on fiancé visa,he would tell you what to do, you give passport and consulate letter from pack3 you write your phone number on it, they give some receipt to go to the other window to pay around 950 dh, back to your place with receipts waiting . plz choose a place where you can see all the consulars or at least 2 of them, that's what i did and it helped, try to concentrate on their faces and how they ask questions, how they speak ,everything .keep concentrate deeply on consulars while reading some qoran .
remember now am waiting for moroccan man to call me not consular, so be ready to give your forms ,BC, police record, so i was called by that moroccan man ,i gave the forms, BC, police record, passport photos (5cm/5cm).
then go to your place waiting ,KEEP concentrate on consulars please.
that's what i kept doing till the BLONDE lady said my name (MOHAMED HAMZA) :wacko:

.
the lady you guys were talking about with dark hair is really nicer than the blonde and i wonna stop here to inform you guys that they are really VERY normal persons nothing special. so don't be scared alot .
so i walked up to the window, said good morning madam to consular with a big smile

,she said hi how are you, i said fine thank you madam

.she doesn't smile but dont let her scare you or embarasse you.
but i hope for everyone of you guys to get the young NICE man speaking arabic :)he is nice and funny

so i want to say girls/guys in states NOT to worry alot about consulars and stuff nothing really wrong with them at all, the thing you should worry about is your fiancé/es ,work alot on their english, speaking some english is VERY VERY VERY VERY important or at least keep working on interview's samples on phone or chats, my princess and i were training on phone and yahoo for interview

she helped me alot with that (thank you my soul) but if she was a consular none of you guys would be approved hahahahah:)

anyway that's what the blonde lady aked me ,she is speaking like a machine soo fast :help:

first she told me to swear that all informations in the forms are correct i said yes medam i swear

then started drilling questions while checking the petition documents :
how did you meet her ?
when did you meet her ?
how many times she visited you ?
how long she stayed with you ?
how many times you were together ?
do you have pics together ?
what was her trips for ? (while checking at our album)
how old is she ?
what does she doing for living ?
where she lives?
is she married before ?
children ?
are you married or married before ?
how much money she makes ?
how do you keep in touch together?
how many tmes you talking on phone?
how long you talking on phone? (while checking phone bills)
whats your phone number?
do you have other phone numbers ?
then started stamping everywhere on documents, signed some receipt gave it to me
she said ok that's fine, i'm gonna give this paper it's VERY normal don't worry , your case needs some AR in washington we will call as soon as security process is complet not longer than a month ,so she gave me(221G) i was like yes i know madam, thank you very much , then i asked her well madam sorry but my fiancé is worrying now without sleep ALLLL night poor baby, so everything is fine madam ? she said yes we will call you when AR is complete, then said thank you good luck

.so it took about 25 minutes maximum.
well that was it, there was some guy with the dark haired lady he was sooo confused he was on K-1 poor guy am sure he was denied ,he doesn't speak english very well and no enough idea about interview ,so plz don't be like that, be strong and get MUCH trainings at least if you really don't speak english well ,because that guy asked him how he was communicating his fiancée if no english ,he was trying to tell her that they speak spanish but she made him confused and lost control of everything, she saw e-mails in english asked him why e-mails in eglish if she speaks spanish ,he didn't understand so he told her that he is using translation websites which NOT good for their case at all.
one other thing while training for interview try to make answers longer. when you keep talking you don't give her time to look for more questions to confuse you, i saw that blonde lady how long she is takiing to interview ppl, so i decided to take this strategie to make answers LONG .so as to stop her keep asking and me answering, because if i stop she would look for other questions. so she asked me twice if i can give her a second to check papers and informations

so i think she decided to get rid of me

well am really sorry for this LONG post, but i wonna help you guys as you helped me and my princess and thank million million times for everything .
and hard luck for alll of you getting ready for interview ,my point to you is speaking english is very important, as long as relationship is serious nothing to worry about, and do MANY trainings together on phone or chat if you really don't speak english well but practice interview's questions and answers in english, when somthing goes wrong it's not consulars it is you or petition or not enough proofs, so plz try to work out all this points before interview and then don't worry about any of those ppl in the consulate.

good luck guy and thank you very much .

Jennie's interview in Morocco

I am not sure if you meant a K-3 being approved so fast, or a K-1, but Jennie and Belaid filed for a K-3 as they are already married. I believe they sent everything in last year in Feb or March so it's been over a year! They hadn't seen eachother in almost 2 years! Anyways have a good day!
Sarah

Thank you Simo, that is very sweet of you. We're hanging in there, time seems to be going pretty fast and hopefully this month we will have our NOA2. I ask Hicham questions everyday pretending that I am interviewing him but I am still worried about a question coming out of no where like "which arm did she break when she was 11?"... and even though that's pretty crazy of me to think that someone would ask a question like that I guess I just want him to be really prepared, and maybe just maybe he will get approved the same day of his interview. Probably not, but maybe!

Well I hope Jennie and Belaid are celebrating with eachother in Casa today! They deserve it!

And Simo I hope you have your visa soon! I'm sure it's going to be any day now.

Sarah

thank you sarah, don't worry i had that with my princess also ,on phone ,puter..hahahaha:) i was teasing her by saying that thank GOD she is not a CO hahahah

my poor sweet kitten (L)

anyway it's nice to practice alll questions to be ready for anything, i swear that when the CO started drilling questions it was like carrie asking me ,it was SO normal for me drilling answers as well

nothing was surprising me , i mean my ears were used with those questions and it's like (click) to answer right away

so make sure you keep interviewing hisham it's good for your interview specially if he has that blonde woman (questions machine) hahahahah:) .as i said in my post dont forget to tell hisham to get a place in FRONT of windows and focus in CO's face and how they ask questions .

Jennie's interview in Morocco

That's awesome! We had a same day approval to so it is definetely possible in Morocco. I really think it helped that she was there (even though not in the room). I know they asked Youssef when he saw me last and he said I was just outside. There was another American woman there when her husband got his visa and they got theirs the next day too. I'm not saying it's a sure thing but I really think it helps. Yay Jennie and Belaid!

Who interviewed your fiance, if you dont' mind me asking? I wasn't sure if I was going to go over there for my fiance's interview but I think I will, it can't hurt.

Take care,
Sarah

well first congratulations to belaid and jennie from all my heart :dance:

that's such great news and they are very lucky to have that very nice GUY for interview, i was there and he was the most who is issuing visa's right away and short interview, it's very rarely when i hear the women telling somone to come tomorrow at 3 to pick up visa. so it's definitely him who is issuing visa's right away and i like it when he says to ppl to take a tiny little paper and come back tomorrow at 3 pm to pick up visa ,could send friend or brother or anyone you know if you couldn't come ....in arabic

.
really belaid and jennie deserve this luck and their visa to be issued right away.
congratulations again and same inshallah for all of you guys waiting for interview noura, sarah......

OMG! I just checked the USCIS update page for about the 4th time today and they touched our EAD and AOS today!

Then I checked the e-mail we use for that, and they sent us the e-mail 5 times telling us Abdel's work permit has been approved and will be mailed shortly! Wow, that was the boost I needed. I was feeling totally drained about the tires and now I'm not tired at all.

Jenn, you should be hearing something shortly. I must say Charleston is really on top of things. I hope they do all our files!

Morocco Fiance Vica Passport photo

Does anyone know if they are really strict with the passport style photo??? My fiance send his over for our original submission of a K-1, and it look too close up......... there are no shoulders in the pic..... he had it done in morocco and was told that it is a standard passport photo..... it just doesn't seem to exactly match the passport photo requirements. It is just a little off( a little larger from chin to top of hair) Should I have hime get another and wait to send in the app, or just send it in with that one? Any help anyone can give would be great!!!!
thanks,

well i dont think it's complicated he just have to take other good pics ,they give some CD with photos then he could just e-mail the picture to you and then you can print them out there .
goodluck :thumbs:

Have Case Number through NVC

Okay guys... so I just got through to the NVC... spoke with a very nice lady... gave her my CSC reciept number... and she said that NVC had received our petition TODAY... and she gave me the NVC case number...

Okay... i am so excited now... will you guys please help me with the next step?

Of course, I will receive all correspondence through my attorney... but, I am hoping that I have everything in order...

1) Have original NOA1 & NOA2 (will get that from attorney)
2) Tax transcripts for 3 years
3) NEW letter of intent
4) Got co-sponsor (just in case... don't think I will need it tho...)
5) Will get letter from my bank

What else? My mind is a little overwhelmed at the moment... any and all advice will be very much appreciated!

Thanks everyone!

Lynne

NOA2 Extension??? How??

Hi all!

Well, Aziz had his interview at Casa last Wednesday. All seemed to go well, in spite of some very embarrassing questions...She said the paperwork looked good. Then she looked at his passport (which had just been renewed and is supposed to be good for either 5 or 10 more years), and said that he would have to get a new one because the Moroccan passport issuer had apparently taped it together in a way that is not acceptable. They gave him a 221g that only had that box checked with the remark typed in, "Please get a new passport." She said THEY would call HIM. I don't understand unless they are also doing some processing, but the letter didn't say that.

He went all the way back to his corner of the country and was told IF he really does need a new passport (and they suggested he verify that with some local agent) it will take about 6 weeks to get. His NOA2 states that it is good til July 14th.

My question is: What if he doesn't get his passport by July 14th. Do we have to do anything to get his NOA2 date extended?

Thanks for all of you who so selflessly share your experience and knowledge. I am grateful!

hi susan,

it's nice that he got the famous 221g which they gave me on april 27th till now, but better than other issues anyway. for passport i had it reneiwed they told me that that it doesnt take that long anymore and to come pick it up in 24 hours ,so i got it in 24 hours
good luck
Susan

Carrie's Simo is on his way!

You have me crying too Simo. I'll have to tell Abdel you are here now. He is so terribly homesick right now maybe he will actually use his computer and talk to you. He hates talking on the computer at all, but if you get bored waiting to work maybe he will give in and use it. I know talking to you would be so good for him.

Welcome to Georgia!

yes that would nice, he is wlcome anytime to talk ,inchallah everthing will be fine .

thank you .
