thank you Mark88 and Hank for the shared information. 

 

its a great relief for me as a mom and a wife to know that there's a way on us to be completely together as family.

 

LORD willing everything is gonna be alright.

 

Bless you both for doing so...

Go thru with CRBA, a denial is already expected anyway because according to you the bio father is no where to be found so he can't sign the forms.  The consul will downright deny CRBA upon interview the minute you explain the situation.

 

Once CRBA is denied, the child can chase the IR2.

Thank you Apple21 for the information...its a great relief...Thanks and bless you for the shared info.

thank you Hank....

thats what keep on bothering us. we already dont know where was this man. And not worth to mention and worth to locate him again knowing his an irresponsible father.

i dont know what the consul was thinking...

hopefully this will be resolved so well...

thanks once again.

we have already papers sent to USEM of CR2 for my son...you think they will hold it until we know what will be the result to CRBA?

or we will start again applying CR2?

really do look forward to be complete family with my husband.

ive been petitioned by my husband as CR1 and my son as CR2 but during the interview they said that my son should be registered to CRBA not us immigrant. Told them that my son has been left abandoned by his bio-father but the consul still wants my son to go to ACS for this concern.

Philippines221G request for additional document.
Thank you guys....have to tell my husband then to send it to me and i will mail it here through 2go in Phil. Thanks a bunch,,.

OP...I agree with apple 21....and DO NOT do what Sirliner suggests...the 221(g) gives you specific instruction, one of which is to attach a copy of the email to your response..also, the Embassy should have given you a paper to give to the 2go which lists what you need and allows for free delivery.  Have your fiance DHL whatever to you...and you send them through 2go...if your fiance tries to do it from the States it will confuse and delay things...good luck...


Your husband should send the docs to you.
 
You mail the documents to USEM via 2GO.
 
Your husband cannot send the docs directly to USEM via other courier.
 
Follow the 221g instructions.






 
 
Have your husband send the required documents to you, then you take them to 2GO for delivery per the instructions in the 221g letter.  (make a copy of the letter for your files)
 
 
This for sure is not good advice.

We were unable to reach them by phone, email, or fax. Finally my fiance call the Dept. of State at 202-663-1225 and received the information about packet 3 we were looking for. 

 

I hope this helps. 

thanks, we'll try this number tomorrow if we don't hear from them...

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionFrench Consulate Paris

Hi, 

 

According to the page at the US embassy in Paris, it says that "there are no phone information lines for visas at the US embassy" (http://france.usembassy.gov/visas.html)

 

If calling is not an option, you should send a written enquiry: ParisConIV@state.gov

 

They normally answer within about a week and they should be able to help. It does say, however, that they might not answer if your application is not outside normal processing times. 

 

Best of luck, or bonne chance!

 

 

thank you Dbkrantz; I have already sent e-mails and was trying to get someone by phone.

 

So if a person has been successful in getting the French US Consulate by phone (I read that the Belgium US Consulate was reached by phone), please let me know which number was used. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi, the portal of the French Consulate indicates a number 0810-26-46-26 to get a live operator with a 14.50 charge. I did call, had to give my credit card number, then when asked about the status of my immigrant visa, I was told it was not the number for immigrant visa. NO other number was given.
Has anyone called the French consulate and received a decent reply about immigrant visa? What number? Thanks in advance.

How do you know its missing? It will all be there for interview.

The Paris Consulate sent us a message saying we had to file a DS 260 form on line - the State Dept stated this was not available to us since we had already paid the fee - whereas we had already filled out form DS 230 part I and II in the IV package sent to NVC and received by them on Aug 19 by special courrier.

ChinaPassport Tracking after approval

I called them once. They asked me some info like my full name, passport number, DoB etc., and then said its under Administrative Processing in Beijing Consulate. I said this is what I already know from CEAC Website. Yet, no more details were provided.

 

I am so frustrated right now since the dates for my research program as an Exchange scholar are passing by....and I don't know what's happening to my passport.. :@

ChinaPassport Tracking after approval

Ah. I am getting so frustrated now. I have applied for a J-1 exchange visa. My interview was on 19th November. They said its approved and kept my passport and other documents and said it will take a month for additional processing. Now its almost 45 days, still Administrative processing.

 

No idea of what to do. Any type of customer service (emails, webforms, phone calls) comes up with what I can also see on the CEAC website - Administrative Processing. :(

ChinaPassport Tracking after approval

Well for me, They retained my passport, did my finger prints etc., They gave me a small slip which shows that my passport will be returned to CITIC bank and some other stuff. The officer told me that the visa is approved and all I need is to wait for a couple of weeks for their administrative processing. 

 

I was just a bit worried about the change in passport status.


Faizy BabaNot TellingChina2013-12-04 05:44:00
ChinaPassport Tracking after approval

Hey guys. I applied for J-1 Visa at Beijing Embassy on 19th November, 2013. After my interview the visa officer said that my visa is approved but they need to do further administrative processing and they retained my passport.

 

Since then I kept checking my visa status and passport status. My visa status is the same "Administrative Processing". But I do not understand that why my passport status has been changed from "Your passport is still with the post" to "There is no status update available for the passport number submitted".

 

Can anyone explain, please?
