Lol...the little quirks in the process. It's a good thing we haven't lost our minds in this process.


Agree. If we lost our mind for even one bit I think this whole process become worse then what it is right now. I think this whole visa process was made to test our patience and she how much we all love our spouse. devil.gif what you think Q?


I agree, this had definitely been a test of our patience and our love for our spouses!! My wife told me last week that it was ok if I didn't come for the interview, cause she wanted me to use my days off when she got here. Last night, she tells me she wishes she hadn't said that now smile.gif Little does she know devil.gif


Q,
Your wife will definitley be surprised/happy if she sees you there before her interview. That will cheer her up and make her excited. Hope all goes well for you and your wife. BTW best wishes to your wife for her exams coming up.



Thanks!!! I want her to be done with her exams, and the interview already!!! 5 more weeks smile.gif


Guys I was reading ur posts and really adore the kind of relationship u possess with ur wives...

I wonder...if it is not a proof of relation that u gonna spend so much money on buying tickets to attend the interview with ur wives specially when the world economy's facing extreme bad time, then I have nothing to say... My hubby is so dedicated and wants me to be with him, that is why, he is trying all his best possible ways like u guys...he will also be coming for this purpose...I hope this will be a plus...

The rate of issuing a visa for US Embassy Dhaka is really not very high....We often push back to AP ... So, all of u my friends, my well wishers...pray for EACH AN EVERYONE OF THIS FAMILY who r eagerly waiting to be reunited with their spouse...

Take care

Sonia

Yeah ... he is so excited now that he can't even come online that much..

By the way, I think I could track DHL.... That was Shipped on March 10th. Is that ours? Only a packet that weighs 1.1lb? weird...Do they have only one care in each parcel?

Sonia


Well according NVC opeator that I spoke with, she said they have not forwarded our file to consulate as of yet so I dont know what to make out of operator info vs DHL? I hope that is the package, but let wait n see. You might want to call n find out if they forwarded your file to dhaka embassy or not?


Okies...if u ever can track urs...please let us know..

Yes, This is new procedure per NVC operator that I spoke with last night. NVC no longer mail out appointment letter unless you dont have e-mail address then they do.



This is definitely the best thing that they could do...U will be surprised to know that I have not recieved any of the mails sent to me by the NVC...starting from DS 3032 to DS 230 instruction package...this is simply weird....Glad that they emailed us the interview letter....

Hello all..

Does it has any impact if the embassy being closed for one day in case of scheduling an interview? US Embassy Dhaka was closed today and I did not get an interview date, while other VJ members all over the world got interview dates...

I was done by february 27th....Way b4 the cut off date....Should not I hear something by now? May be I gonna have to wait till the end of this week...

Sonia


Sonia,
If your case has not assigned interview date has nothing to do with embassy being closed for day or two. NVC schedule the interview date in slot embassy provided them. I am sure you will get one soon, if not today then tomorrow for sure.


Thanx Krunal... Well, I can see u r goin with the CR1 date...U have another date a week b4 that date (for K3). R u going to flip the date, or u gonna be stick with the CR1 date?

Can you let me know, what are the documents you and your husband sent to NVC.

I would really appreciate. Looks like we got RFE. I did not send any document yet.

Thanks in advanve

My embassy is Dhaka too.



Helloo...How did u know that u got an RFE? Try to find out the reason for RFE and send at once.

And I sent the following documents with DS 230.

1.Two (2) Passport Size Photographs of Beneficiary (NVC Case Number, Beneficiary’s full name, and date of birth are written on back of both)
2.DS-230 Part 1 completed and signed by beneficiary
3.DS-230 Part 2 completed by beneficiary – unsigned, as of yet, per instruction
4.Photocopy of the Biographic Data Pages of Beneficiary’s New Passport
5.Original copy of Birth Certificate
6.Original Marriage Certificate and Nikah Nama (Bengali and English version) duly Authenticated by the Notary Public
8.Original copy Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) executed by the Ramna Model Police Station Dhaka, issued in pursuance of the Ministry of Home Affairs and duly attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Government of The People’s Republic of Bangladesh

Good Luck...

Sonia


Thanks for thr info,

I call NVC and found out that I need to send all document.

My parents lives in Khulna. Permanent address is Paikgacha, Khulna. Local police station khulna refused to provide Police certificate so they took it from Paikgacha Thana. and attested with FM. will it be any problem?

Re: Marriage certificate: I am sending one original and one copy of my parent. Do I need to send my original marriage certificate too?? Why they need my marriage certificate( I saw onlie: http://travel.state....info_3195.html). I though they need only my birth certificate only! Can you advise me, what should I do

Dola


Dear Dola...I think I got u wrong at first..So that now I know u r applying for ur parents..All I can say...just send all the original documents...About the PCC, it is better if u can manage from the right police station...Well, in fact, no one in US knows the difference though, like which area is under which PS...So I think, PCC will be fine if they are obtained legally from the nearest police station.

Good Luck

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNeed advice about scheduling interview with Consulate, CR1 Visa and multiple entries into US after visa is issued
First of all, if I were in ur situation I would have tried to reschedule my interview in later dates..Like u know, may be in July. Why would consulate be strict about it anyways?

Lets say, if u are not allowed to reschedule interview, in that case, when u and ur wife are going to States for vacation, wait for the green card to arrive. It takes 2-4 weeks. Once the green card is with her, she will be free to go anywhere, and fulfill the commitments.........

So like, try to make the vacation considering the fact that GC may take upto 4 weeks (sometimes earlier)...u will be fine with it...rn't u?

Good Luck

Thank you so much Tam for such nice and informative post...Pray for us....

Khaled,

Here are your answers...

1) Phone log was requested from the service provider (For me it was grameen phone). You pay Tk 115 for each month and get ur itemized statement with ur bill. I got a huge bunch of papers, it is about 50 page bill for 3 months only. Signaficantly shows my thousands of my husband's sms, incoming calls etc.

2) I am really not sure if they gonna allow my husband in the interview room. But, we will enter the room together, just to make sure the CO knows that he is here. If after that CO asks him to leave the room, he would cordially do that. I hope this will help...It is just to give them a feeling that my spouse is really concern about this issue and bonafide enough come and accompany me to my interview.

Well for Malaysia, we went there only for 4 days. Was in the KL city mostly, went to Ganting Island once.......My husband always came for a very short time like 2 weeks...so could not manage time longer than that....

Anyways....R u excited about ur interview? What r ur plans?

Embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh has some pretty weird policy. They don't answer phone calls. U can only email or fax and u will get reply after 1 month or so. Today is 3rd April and next 2 days are weekends. So if I email them on 5th (I can even email them today), I will never get a reply in time.. so far pointless.

I know, it is only a week later but problem is, we had some plans, my husband is coming all the spending thousands of dollars. It is never easy. Worst case I would have to face the interview on 27th. But why is this kinda mess? Atleast when I have interview letters both from NVC and Embassy which says it is on 20th?????????????????

Hi Sonia,
My interview date has been rescheduled too. My original date was on 20th April,2009. But recently I have received a mail from the US embassy Dhaka stating that the interview date is 27th April, 2009. Now I called the NVC and asked them about it and they seem to know nothing about it and said that they can not help me with this and I should call the DHK US embassy and also gave the phone number . I did call them and the most wired thing is that a Bangladeshi lady picked up the call and said can not help unless I send an e-mail to them. I did send them an e-mail on 30th March bit still today didn’t get any reply. I thought this is a very serious issue. Don’t know what to do. I am thinking of going there with my papers on Sunday and see what they say about it…..
Please let me know the DOS phone number I need to call them too about this.
Pray for us too and will see you on the interview seems like we have the same date here.

Helloo All,

Hope u all r doing fine... I am feeling really stressed out with this visa process.

I was so happy with my interview date which was on April 20th, as u all know that from my signature, we (me and my hubby) got interview letter through email from NVC. Later on, he also received a interview letter issued on March18th and received it couple of days back which was from US Embassy Dhaka. All was goin fine.

However, today my husband got another letter saying that my interview is scheduled for 27th???!!!!!!!! I mean what the hell is going on here??!!! My husband immidiately called to NVC, and they said, as per their system it is on 20th....They have no record. Then, they asked my husband to call DoS (I guess, not sure where, but it is in Washington) and gave him the number. But unfortunately, he could not talk today cuz it was already 6 o clock in the evenning.

So, what is going on here? I never heard any mess like this so far. My husband already got his ticket done, and we are in real mess.

Please guys... What should I do now?

Sonia



Dear Khaled..Glad that I found someone who is in the same ship of ######....pardon my language but I can't just help it when I think of US Embassy Dhaka...

Well, as you can see, for those who had interview on 20th, more likely to be rescheduled for 27th. And, My husband(Petitioner) called DoS and they said that they did it as per Embassy's request. So, I still have not sure what am I goin to do....My husband is coming next week, so we probabely will decide what would be the best thing to do...

I would be really happy if u keep in touch with me cuz we have interview on the same date....

Allah helps us all...

Ok..Hubby called in the state dept. So they said it is requested by the embassy to change the date...So according to embassy it is on 27th.

Since nothing to loose...We will show up on 20th with all our correspondences (Since we have interview letters both from NVC and Embassy for April 20th). If they ask us to come back the next week, we are fine with that. Beside, we have our K3 interview scheduled on 26th, we are hoping to face the interview on that day....We want to go with even 1% of chances as becuz my husband will be with me on those times....and we simply have nothing much to do but poking Embassy for a visa...

Thanks guys with all ur help and support...And, just think, how thinks can drastically change ur happiness.....and u find urself so helpless...............

Yeah, we were also thinking of it...Lets say, we did not get the mail, which is not very unlikely to happen anyways...so, what if we go on 20th? We have interview letter and instruction packages from Both NVC and Embassy....What will it be the worst case? They would ask us to come back on 27th....

Pretty weird...I am just thinking why is it all happening to me...

Anyways, we would definitely show up on 20th. What if that I really miss my original interview date which is on 20th? Who would be responsible? I guess, no one...I have only 1 piece of paper which says it is on 27th and everything else, including NVC AVR and emails are saying it is set on 20th.

When is this messes going to finish?

Please please please pray for me..We really need some luck...

Embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh has some pretty weird policy. They don't answer phone calls. U can only email or fax and u will get reply after 1 month or so. Today is 3rd April and next 2 days are weekends. So if I email them on 5th (I can even email them today), I will never get a reply in time.. so far pointless.

I know, it is only a week later but problem is, we had some plans, my husband is coming all the spending thousands of dollars. It is never easy. Worst case I would have to face the interview on 27th. But why is this kinda mess? Atleast when I have interview letters both from NVC and Embassy which says it is on 20th?????????????????

Who sent this letter??? "However, today my husband got another letter saying that my interview is scheduled for 27th"?

If NVC Then I would call them twice a day before 6pm and after until you get an answer. Someone has to tell you when it is exactly. If you get someone to answer, which I have always been able to do, then get their name, and a confirmation number or code or something confirming to you that they gave you the correct interview date. That way you have proof when you arrive for the interview.


Noop It is not NVC..It is embassy...US Embassy Dhaka.... They issued two letters same day on March 18th. One mail contained the instruction package and the interview letter saying it is on 20th. Another one, in separate mail saying it is been scheduled in 27th, and it has no intruction package. It also mentioned please disregard any date provided earlier.

Here is more detail to clarify

1. Got interview letter through email from NVC INTERVIEW DATE April 20, 2009
2. Got interview letter with instruction package by mail from Embassy INTERVIEW DATE April 20, 2009 (Only petitioner/agent received it)
3. Got letter from Embassy INTERVIEW DATE April 27, 2009 (Only petitioner/agent received it)

Helloo All,

Hope u all r doing fine... I am feeling really stressed out with this visa process.

I was so happy with my interview date which was on April 20th, as u all know that from my signature, we (me and my hubby) got interview letter through email from NVC. Later on, he also received a interview letter issued on March18th and received it couple of days back which was from US Embassy Dhaka. All was goin fine.

However, today my husband got another letter saying that my interview is scheduled for 27th???!!!!!!!! I mean what the hell is going on here??!!! My husband immidiately called to NVC, and they said, as per their system it is on 20th....They have no record. Then, they asked my husband to call DoS (I guess, not sure where, but it is in Washington) and gave him the number. But unfortunately, he could not talk today cuz it was already 6 o clock in the evenning.

So, what is going on here? I never heard any mess like this so far. My husband already got his ticket done, and we are in real mess.

Please guys... What should I do now?
