check out the pinned post under the MENA forum.


MENA? I can't find a forum name using that acronym. Link?


Oh, I am sorry, here is the direct link to the post I was talking about. There are a lot of pages with people trying to get the post pinned to be visable at the top of the page. Once you get passed that there is some valuable information. You can tell a lot of research has gone into it. MENA is just an acronym for Middle East North Africa (took me awhile to know what MENA was too, so don't feel bad smile.gif )

Unfortunately, as much as i hate it, richard, i would have to say, join the club. your denial looks exactly like mine. new delhi has been a joke. and they do take forever before scheduling the interview, only to give the need of engagement ceremony thing. stay in contact with your senators, try to get the petition to stay there. if it gets sent back, indeed, you are in for a looooooong wait. i am still waiting to hear from our senators (mine was supposedly sent back on dec. 29). i am planning on making a trip to india next month, already have my tickets booked. my fiance and i are looking into getting married. but since our petition is in limbo some where in a black hole, we cannot get married until uscis makes the final decision, as they are the only one who has the final say. if you do decide to get married in india, from what i understand, do NOT file another petition until the k1 is officially closed. it will only lead to another denial, and lengthening your wait time. check out the pinned post under the MENA forum. there are a lot of knowledgable people out there. also, if you would like, i have made several topic posts concerning this same thing, and people have been along to give excellent advice. a lot of people have been through the 221g being sent back to the usa, and a lot have been successful. that is who i look to whenever questions arise. i am positive that all of the madness will work out in the end. you all are definitely in my prayers. oh yeah, one more thing, get the pouch number. it will help you track the status as it goes to NVC. by the way, i still check with nvc, and they do not have record of my petition. i still feel in my heart that delhi is just sitting on it. God bless, and you are in my prayers.

Not enough data is being put into the system probably to give you a more accurate predicition.

Remember - VJ entries are a very small number of the actual cases the service centers are dealing with.

(there could be 1000's that are moving faster than yours)


good.gif Yeah, that would be awesome if VJers were the only ones in the system. We could all have our visas issued within a month of initial filing laughing.gif

QUOTE (Bobby_Umit @ Jul 8 2009, 11:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Umit went for her visa tis morning, 0830.

They made her wait for 90 mins before doing the interview, then she was called into the interview room.

Woman CO, Umit started to speak Turkish, but the woman asked if they could speak in English, which Umit switched over to.

Questions asked:
1. How did you meet?
2. How did you get engaged?
3. Petitioners work and age?
4. How many times have we met in person?
5. When will beneficiary go to America?

Then the woman looked at our chat logs (MSN), pictures, and petitioners passport copies (all pages smile.gif) - and said, "congratulations, you will be getting your visa in 3-5 days" (they send them UPS)

Interview was about 30 mins. No AP (I didn't expect any since Umit has a 10 year visitors visa and she is a woman).

Thanks to this site, had all my ducks in a row - no issues at all with the paperwork (RFE) or any other time wasting issues !


Now on to the travel to the US and marriage...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsk1 Filed waiting for N0A2
petitioners are able to write a withdrawal letter to USCIS. I am not sure if it has to be notarized, but it needs to explain that you no longer wish to continue with this step. please make absolute certain that you do not want to continue, i would hate to see you have wasted the $455 and time. good luck in your decision good.gif

i am sure someone could explain in detail how to withdraw.

quick note: only petitioners can withdraw, beneficiaries do not have the option. looks like you are the petitioner, so it is within your rights yes.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsvisa denied
op, i am sorry for your situation. i know the pains of getting a k1 denied. seems like all hopes are dashed. but cheer up. there is a way to get around this stumbling block. they have to have given your fiance a form (221g) stating exactly why they feel he was unable to receive the visa. ours was for lack of relationship proof. what ever the concrete reason (cannot be solely based on age difference) you have to overcome the denial. you can contact your congressman (it was unhelpful for us, but i have seen it work in other cases). but marc ellis is well-versed on the subject, and he has gone thru this several times (ellis-island on vj). do everything you can think of to keep it in the consulate. if it makes it back, again, there are ways to overcome. you can read the pinned topic at the top of MENA, kiyah is very helpful on the subject also.
many people have been in your situation (i am currently) and they have overcome. so can you. good luck, and God bless good.gif

Going to be completely honest with OP, looking at the pic from your profile you do not look your age at all. I am 40 also and you look older than my mom. That DOES NOT give the CO the right to deny based on age though - NOT AT ALL. As others have said, contact Mark Ellis.
