US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionSpouse allowed @ interview???
Hmmm...despite security i dont think a USC can be refused the right to enter their own embassy.
At least that's what ISL USEM told me that they can't deny for any reason

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview Tomorrow....Any Last Minute Tips?

My Interview for the K-1 Visa is tomorrow at the London Embassy, and I am scared out of my mind!! I worry so much and think somethings going to go wrong, or that I might drop a document somewhere by accident.... Those kind of worries! Thank you so much for all the information given to me and my fiance for us to even get to this stage (we was going to hire a lawyer to help us with the paper work..)

To anybody else out there who have had their interview at the London Embassy, I was wondering if we have to pay the $131 in Pounds or Dollars? I have called the DOS and they told me to call the embassy's lovely premium line number to ask. :blink:

How early do you usually show up at the embassy before your interview time? 30 minutes? 1 Hour? Its been snowing in London, and I really hope public transport wont be severely affected!

For those people who have asked "can my fiance come with me to the interview" the answer is yes (for london embassy anyway) I read through my Interview letter and they do state: "If you need to bring a translator or U.S. Citizen spouse/fiance(e) to assist you during your time at the embassy, please send us their full name as soon as possible so that we may arrange their access to the embassy"



Sorry I typed so much! I am so nervous!!!



Edit: Wow..... I been sitting here answering the example interview questions, and I am so nervous that I am unable to answer them without stuttering! And it is not even the real thing!!
Good Luck to everyone else! Happy new year =)


congratulation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!!!!!!!

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionif CR1visa is denied??

OK - so if you have a pending CR-1 in the pipe, and you attempt a B-2 tourist visa, and are denied the B-2, it has little to no bearing on the CR-1. The B-2 denial will be noted, but thats usually all that will happen. The two are not related, at all.

If you have a denial on the CR-1, then suggest you follow the directions on the denial slip for 'what to do next'.

Worst-Case-Scenario - if the CR-1 is denied, the USC can file another I-130 petition.


thanks keep me update like this.
ARMANI KHANMalePakistan2010-01-14 08:44:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussionif CR1visa is denied??

I don't understand your question.
What exactly are you worried about? We can help you better if you tell us what is going on why you think you will be denied.


i m just worrying i applied for visit visa early thats all. and they told me that ur ineligible for visit visa.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionif CR1visa is denied??
QUOTE (Penguin_ie @ Jan 1 2010, 04:07 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
As PP says, it depends on the reason for denial and at what stage it is denied.
For example, if it is denied because you were married before and not properly divorced, you will need to divorce and then re-apply, playing all the fees etc again. There may also be a charge of miss-representation to overcome.
If it is denied because they do not believe you have a bonafide relationship, you may have a chance to request a second interview with the petitioner/USC present; if not, you can appeal or re-file (re-filing is often faster).
If it is denied because of problem in the affidavit of support, you usually get a chance to submit with a co-sponsor, so it is not really denied, just a delay.


thanks be they r rejecting forever or process will be still?????

[quote name='trailmix' date='Jan 1 2010, 09:39 AM' post='3598723']
Well it depends what it's denied for. It can be as simple as providing more proof. Or it can be more complicated.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionApproval From Morocco :)

Alhamdulillah, Houssain’s Visa was Approved! “Happy” cannot begin to describe what I feel right now! I keep thinking, “Is this truly happening?”, it almost doesn’t seem real. He goes to the consulate tomorrow afternoon to pick up the Visa. We haven’t really discussed yet about when he will be coming and all the details. I mean, he just called me and told me 2 hours ago, so we will talk about all the arrangements over the next few days, insha’allah.

So here’s what happened: His appointment was at 8:30am. He showed up at 8:15am. They called him inside, he sat down with the American guy. The man asked a few questions, which had already been asked at the 1st interview and were not really anything to worry about – like “Why do you love her?”, “Do you like her kids?”, etc. Houssain said all good things about me, of course, and that he loves each of my kids and can’t wait to meet them. Houssain told the interviewer that “me and Jennifer match”. The interviewer asked for examples of how Houssain thought we were a good match. Houssain explained that our sense of humor is so similar and that we think about things in life in the same way. Houssain told him “When I go to Europe and tell a Moroccan joke, nobody gets it. But when I tell Jennifer, she gets the joke and laughs. And she makes me laugh. I do love her so much.”
The man just listened, then gave Houssain a little blue paper with a number on it, and told Houssain to come back to the consulate tomorrow at 3:00pm to pick up his visa! Yay! :)

One odd thing about this process, I have to say, is that I do not make above the required poverty line. In fact, for my household size, I make about $3000 under the designated poverty line. So, of course, we had a co-sponsor fill out the forms, thinking they would be needed. Well, Houssain took the co-sponsor forms to the consulate this morning, and they never asked for them. They actually approved the Visa on just my income alone (which, again, is under the poverty line). I am happy about this, hamdulillah, but it was unexpected from everything I had heard previously read about this process.

Anyway, best of luck to those who are waiting, and congratulations to the recent approvals.

Jennifer

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionvisa in hand :)

hey everyone, just thought i should update you all and give some hope to all those in AP. i joined this website in September and never really had a "TIMELINE" so i will create a brief one here in this post.

September 11, 2009 was our interview date. we were told we needed proof of domicile (for me) and proof of relationship. we were given a letter saying we are in AP until we can provide what they wanted.

October 27,2009 was when i sent in all domicile documents and proof of relationship

November 1,2009 was the worst day imaginable, i got a call saying i have mail from the JRS consulate, and the letter said they received my proof and we needed to wait because we were still put in AP.

December 8,2009 was when i got a call from the JRS consulate asking for my husbands passport

December 20,2009 VISA RECEIVED!

Good luck to everyone out there !!!


congratulation...!!!
