US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionAR in the Philippines?



Thanks Jasman but if there was a document missing wouldn’t they have asked about it in the interview? My fiancée said everything went very smooth and she had everything they asked for. She said they never really questioned her papers.

Thanks Mrs.mnez. She has called just before I left her but all they say is that it’s still in processing. At the time I didn’t think that possibly the case had been put on an AR. I want to call because she seem to be reluctant to question or press for more of an explanation. Do they charge to give info out on the number you gave me? If they don’t it's probably cheaper for me to call actually. My rate to the Philippines is 16 cents a minute. She has been calling what she calling the Hotline. I’m not sure what the Hotline number is but every call is about $6 US.


What was your AR for? I just confirmed that our case was put on an AR. The embassy just sent out a letter requesting her to go back on April 25th but im not sure why yet. Did you have to go back to the embassy because of your AR?


Since your fiancee was given a date to go back to the embassy on April 25th, that would probably mean she will be interviewd again by the Consul. If it's possible, call the embassy again and ask what kind of documents she could bring as additional proof of the relationship or something.

On the white slip for AR(221g), there are several items there where the CO will ask for the beneficiary to bring with her the next time she is called for another appointment. I could say it's a very good sign she's being asked to report there again. Good luck and I pray for her visa approval.



Thanks Mrs.mnez
I question my fiancée about the interview last night and im back to thinking she passed the interview without a hitch and I was premature in saying we were put on an AR for sure. When I called they never told me out right that she was put on an AR and I never asked I just assummed. I now thinking something else must have come up during processing of her papers to have them request her to be asked to come back. She told me that her interview was very complete and she didn’t miss a thing. We were very careful to have everything need and made sure we had plenty of proof of everything. The interviewer even said she was very organized and very complete. The person that interviewed her took her passport and all the papers and even said.....Good luck with your new life in US when she left her interview! She was then told to wait for her name to be call to pay Delbros for the visa delivery. She never received a 221G form and she never felt that there was a problem. So maybe I was wrong saying that she left being put on AR. We had more then enough proof of our relationship too. I cant imagine that is the problem but she did have one problem at her medical. She has a bad scare on her arm from a tattoo that got infected and a very fresh one on her arm when she fell on some broken glass. The person that did her medial wanted her to come back for a mental evaluation because they feared she is violent or into self abuse! She is anything but violent so she passed the evaluation without a problem. The only other issue I can think that might make them question something is that she widowed but she had the death certificate from the NSO, pictures of the funeral and cancer that they removed from his brain trying to save his life. I would think she had enough proof but maybe they want something else for proof. I a bit confused because it sure seems like she passed without a problem and we were not put on an AR. Has anybody els
e out there had something like this happen???

My fiancée had her interview last month and thought she was approved but her visa has not arrived now for almost 6 weeks so now im beginning to question why its taking so long and im beginning to think our case has been put on a AR. After her interview all she was told was to pay for her visa delivery and she was not told she was approved or that this case needed further review. She thought since they told her to pay for delivery of the visa that she was approved. I never questioned her about the interview so I didn’t know the details until my trip there hoping to bring her home with me. I stayed as long as I could but had to return last week and im sad to leave her behind again. So my question is do they tell you your case needs further review and if you are put on a AR do they have you still pay for your visa delivery?
Thanks

They say on the list of requirements for the interview that they need proof of payment for the visas at the bank.
What does the bank give out as proof? Is it just a receipt?
Thanks

Hello,
I know from getting a RFI after sending my I-129 in with just a copy that you need a certified copy. I think some get through the service centers with copies but its up to the person reviewing the papers on what they want to see. So its better to cover you butt with a certified copy just incase. The RFI that we received cost us about 6 weeks. Good luck!
