Middle East and North Africa	sorry for posting here	My brother in law is trying to get a student visa. The problem is he does not have a passport and he wont get one in time for the interview at the consulate. Is there any way to get a passport or can they issue a visa without one? Is there temporary passports? He is from Morocco. Im just trying to find any way he can still be issued a visa w/out one. Thanks	caregiver4ever	Female	Morocco	2006-11-06 08:23:00
Middle East and North Africa	quick question	Can my brother in law get a student visa without a passport? Will they issue him one and when the passport comes in then he will travel. The passport wont be ready for his interview at the consulate in Morocco.	caregiver4ever	Female	Morocco	2006-11-06 08:38:00
Middle East and North Africa	how to proove ties?	My brother in law has to proove ties to his country in order to come here for studies. He does not own anything and does not have a bank account. He works but doesnt show income b/c he works at a cyber cafe. Does anyone have any suggestions to show the consulate he has ties home and will return after his studies? I know this is a big thing for visa approval for the consulate. Any suggestions please!!!	caregiver4ever	Female	Morocco	2006-11-09 08:54:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-129F April 2012 filers	Congrats on the medical! What a shame for the harassment. Their website clearly says "Appointment letter from the Embassy OR Instruction letter from the National Visa Center (NVC)". Don't you just love people trying to make your life more complicated than it really is. I agree with Todd with this, that there is OR but even me the guy in the window was asking for the appointment letter AND NVC Letter.What I only got is one xerox copy of NVC letter that's why i rush out and have it photocopied. I wasn't ready coz what's on the website was OR but I was thankful that i did bring the NVC Letter. St Lukes must change it into AND not just put OR on it.	anyuhh	Not Telling	Philippines	2012-11-29 19:37:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-129F April 2012 filers	Hi, We just called NVC and they gave us the CASE NUMBER. They said that they're still processing the papers and it will be in Manila within 2-4 weeks. My question is, should we wait for it to arrive in Manila before paying the Visa Fee, Scheduling the Interview and doing my Medical? Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks, You can already schedule the interview. make sure the date that you choose for interview date is after 2-4 weeks as NVC said so that you papers will be in USEM Manila.	anyuhh	Not Telling	Philippines	2012-10-23 18:40:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-129F April 2012 filers	How will i know that the NVC recieved the papers already? an the manila embassy got it already? After a week or two call the NVC and ask for the MNL Case number and then you can pay in BPI. Make sure that you have to schedule an appointment after 2weeks when you had the MNL case number so that your papers will be in USEM already.

I've seen that there were like 15 vaccinations needed for us to be approved of our medical. Can you verify this please so I can start having those vaccinations if ever all of it are needed. Vaccinations are already included in the medicAl fees.	anyuhh	Not Telling	Philippines	2012-09-29 02:18:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-129F April 2012 filers	This comes from a very old post from 2009, so I would not considerate it accurate information. If you use the search bar you will find both this interview and one with an adjudicator, both outdated I would say. Let your friend know this, just in case. Here is the link to the one you are referring to: http://www.visajourn...on-information/ uh-oh that's bad she just got it in here too , and it's not updated. Sorry for posting this up guys.	anyuhh	Not Telling	Philippines	2012-09-26 23:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	I-129F April 2012 filers	Hello! just sharing this information that i got from my friend Evee Tam, her friend had an interview from one of the filers who had a chance to talk to the Director of VSC... Why is VSC taking so long, what happened? >>> We had problem with labor last year and lost many workers, we hired more last November and it took some time to get them trained. Some of the petitions were sent to California and we also assign people to different tyopes of visas. They will concentrate on one tyoe, get behind on another and then shift many people back to the other type. Lately we have shifted many, almost all, adjudicators to I-129fs, so that should make people happy. They will do that until they get caught up. Summer is a busy time for I-129fs, usually about June we get slammed with them. The winter or early spring is the slowest time for I-129fs, b ut then it depends what they have everyone working on also. OK, why can't we get through to you? >>>The 1-800 line is useless. Those are contract employees and they are trained to select answers from a menu of 14 answers. They pick which one is best for your question. There are thousands of visas being processed at any time and everyone is special and everyone has special circumstances and if we had direct lines we weould do nothing but field requests by petitioners to give them priority, we just can't do it. How would you feel if your petition got bumped because some woman called and cried on the phone and then her petition got moved up ahead of yours. We simply have to operate in a way that avoids any chance of fraud, corruption or unfairness. So what about some people get approved ahead of others? >>>Sme petitions have problems or delays, we do not hold back others for this. If an adjudicator has problems, he puts that one aside or sends an RFE and goes on to the next. The next one may be clean and gets approved right away, in just a few minutes, they adjudicate 15-20 petitions a day per person, and the ones with problems may wait weeks for the petitioner to respond to the RFE, or maybe it is a name check they are waiting for. Petitions are assigned as they arrive, when we are working on those petitions, but they do not go out the door in the same order they came in.. What about the consulates?>>> Consulates do what they do, as I said, some are bastards. They get whatever we get when it is sent on. I can't tell you what NVC and consulates do, I know some are terrible and some are really easy, but I do not know all the details of each. Kiev is easy, western Europe is easy, Nigeria is horrible, but you would not believe the scams from Nigeria, I get jaded. I am surprised a lot of them get visas and then we have to deal with them.	anyuhh	Not Telling	Philippines	2012-09-26 20:09:00
