Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)K1 Visa Denied By Consulate
So sorry,I can understand your pains...I just thought if i was in this position,how would i really feel...Too hard on myself i guess but Delay is not denyal,They can only delay you and your love from been together for a while not forever...I think the best way forward is just to revoke the visa and refile and move forward from there...Prepare more and gather more evidence and Get your Senate man involve....Am sure USCIS will approve in no time and you just have to hit Lagos Consulate real hard...

When i had my interview back in Lagos last year,i notice that most people get denied becouse of not been confident during the interview process...Basically,Lagos Consulate base there decisions with how they conversation with the applicant and the CO goes...Becouse Immigrant visas such K-1 or so are not meant to be denied in the embassy level unless they noticed some foulplay in the beneficiary decumentations or maybe the way the interview went...Like his or her reactions,If the beneficiary was able to answer the basic questions during the interview and was bold enough to speak up loud and clear....Its always on the approval end...lol....Trust me,When i was in the interview room in Lagos...Is an Open room where you can see and hear how every other person is been interviewed ...,While waiting to be called,I noticed that the CO"s themselves find it difficult to approve some people as much as they try to--- with the way they react,shake and answer question...I still remm one guy that was been interview befor me,During the interview,The guy could not even remm his fiancee middle name and that is crazy...What of the age...He was repeating different date at random...The guy totally messed up,I felt for him though but i know it wont turn out good and within 5 mins,The guy got denied......That is just it...Most times they dont care the full load of the evidence you bring in and all that...They go with the conversation first...Then if that goes well,They look bit at maybe phone log and that is just it...And thats one of the major reason why they dont let American citizen to be present inside the interview room.....Becouse they ar very very bold and Confident,they know there right and the will look in to your eyes and tell you what you wanna know and thats the answer to Lagos Consulate...lol is funny but is true.......During mine,Immidately i was called up for a window,cant remm the no again,I Stood up and after the Oath process....They guy started with looking at me face to face...I think he ask like whats your fiancee full name,the age...Which city she live in...the kind of house she live in,Which i know him his self didnt even know the kind of the house my sweetheat live in...But well i know this things and was able to be answer them promptly and he repeated questions like twice or so...Which i dont mind...I just keep on smiling and laughing professionally and all that and Within 5 mins or less...He brough out the Package we first sent to USCIS which include the whole evidence ...Pictures,phone log ,email and so on and so fort....He couldnt even look at any of them becouse they ar just so much plus the one i came in with for the Interview process,....So after like 5 mins or less of the questions...They guy ask to see phone record..I brought out Verizon Phone log with my fiancee name on top of it and with my MTN line in every single day on each month...They guy just look at the first page and said that i should wait till next week and collect my passport with my visa....He gave me back all the pictures including the ones we sent in iniatially when we file for our k-1 in califonian service center.....

So what am saying is mostly about knowing your fiancee very well,Secondly,Confidence is the key and Be ready to smile and laugh professionally.I always tell my guys is not a do or die thing...As much as Immigration benefit is not my right,Is my life and i decide on what to do with it.......So maybe you need to take time and ask your finace to tell you the detail of the interview with every bit of the questions and how he answers them but experience is the best teacher.Once again am sorry for your pains and i pray you remain strong and fight for the love of your life....For my own suggestion on what to do...Dont waste your time for them to reopen your case here in the US.Just go on and cancel it and refile immiddatly,gather more evidence and if possible...Get your Senate man involve and befor you know it,You will be right there...Forget What people say about Lagos Consulate that is hard and all that,You can always make a differnece and people go thru there,So will you...Prepare hard and hit them hard...You ar good to go...Once again...Take heart and remain strong in love,Thats the key to a successful relationship

USCIS Service CentersMoving target
I got 10.2 months, but it says that data is as of Dec 31, 2012, but if you click on that link at the bottom that says "View national volumes and trends for all applications" the data is through January….

USCIS Service CentersSince California does nothing can we change our files to Vermont

Not sure that would work? I live in Ohio and am a lot closer to Vermont than California but my K1 ended up in California for some reason?


Same here. :(

CaribbeanConsulate in Santo Domingo...Lots of denials?

Just wondering what people's take is on the consulate in Santo Domingo...are they denying lots of people, and on what grounds? I've seemed to have heard mixed things here.

CaribbeanNeed a good hotel near the new embassy (Santo Domingo)

I've been looking for a hotel near the new US embassy in Santo Domingo but haven't been able to find anything. There's a lot of nice hotels in the Colonial Zone but I've heard that's an hour from the new embassy in traffic. There's also a lot of good hotel listings in Distrito Nacional but I don't know how far that is. Anyone got any good hotel spots really close to the new embassy? Also, airport transportation??

CaribbeanHow long does it take to get K-1 Visa issued in the Dominican Republic?

Last week I had wrote an email to the embassy about the whereabouts of our visa, and they sent me a reply that stated that we should check the DOM EX carrier tracking number at the end of next week. I wonder if the person that wrote me knows that our visa is going to be shipped soon or not.

We went on AP starting today :/ This really sucks.
 

The visa status website says this process can take 2 weeks, while the US Embassy Santo Domingo site says it can take up to a couple months.

Hi, My NOA2 was approved today. October 17, 2012 was processed today and approved at Vermont Service center.


I haven't seen an approval entry in a couple of days, and that's not normal... does anybody know what's going on?
