My two responses were very similar, but the one that they responded to that Binh wrote was much different. I think it is bull, how can they say they are not going out of order when one from 14 months gets approved and another from 2? THey just tell us that to shut us up. I hope I can get in next tuesday and talk with them.

Also to others about to go through the process and/or interview please do not fret so much. Just do the best one can is all that one can do. I had quite a few red flags and even had a few send me messages saying how I was going to be in AP and I screwed up something and I still got a pink and really in a decent time. Others have to so just because there are quite a few here in AP does not mean everyone will be in AP or even a majority.

We discuss this because we are trying to figure out the whys and therefores and to help others. It is good to discuss this stuff.



Good post!! I just think that all the new people will see all the posts when there is no real pattern and get worried, no need to go to a interview worried, if you are not confident then it will show. Our cases are not a guarentee that your case will be similar to ours, I for one feel that this post is not such a good post because of the worry factor, and the fact that we truly do not know if there is a pattern or not, and when people like luckytxn have someguarantee of the "red flags" that people think are red flags and get the pink it shows there is no real pattern, and no real reason to worry, but it is good to address these "SUSPECTED" red flags while you can. Keep up the faith and remember what works for one of us or does not work for one of us does not mean it will or will not work for you. Good luck to all and hopefully before long the people on AP will be getting good news!

A tennis team from Japan was going through security the same time I was and one of the kids had 2 jars of jelly in his carryon sportpak.. one would have thought it was a pound of plastic explosives... The poor kid... he spoke no english and the jelly looked so good.... they threw it all away and scared the ####### out of him... so make sure its all in checked bags..


Yeah, I have one bag that is devoted to the jelly and pickles, and I have pillows all around them with the other soft things on top, the tortillas, and jerky and candy as well, give it as much of a fighting chance as possible to make it there in one piece. I had it in a smaller bag and that bag inside my big bag, but when I lifted it it was pretty heavy so I repacked it all again and am planning on checking 2 bags then carrying on only my computer. I was going to bring jelly last trip but did not want to check a bag, this time I don't feel like running in the airports dragging baggage.

Good luck man and doesn't matter how bad things are, you're that much closer to your SO now. Enjoy it and have fun for us all waiting here in the States.


Thanks! I wish for all of us that there was a real pattern, but the more I think about it I do not think there really is. To bad they wont just clear out all the AP at once to get caught up with all approvals! Tell your wife to expect a call on Friday, I get in about Midnight on Thursday/Friday morning. I think Customs is going to ####### a brick when they see all the things I am bringing! I got jars of home made jelly, salsa, pickles, tortillas, beef jerky, Budweiser, candy, and cans of things you cant find there or if you do it cost like $5 a can, got chicken broth and cream of mushroom soup. I am going to make hotpot for her family, my way, so I need canned chicken broth. The only good thing about what I am bringing, I have sent it all over the mail, at least all but the beer and pickles. The look on his face when he opens a bag full of jars of jelly and pickles, I bet it will be a priceless moment!

Don't think the engagement was too short as mine was about 3 months after we first started to chat. The marriage was pretty short though thereafter but have seen others here who had a short one also and got a pink.



I think it stems from my mom and dad not travelling back with me when I got married. They asked him why my parents didn't come back for my wedding. Well, my parents both work and they had already taken 6 weeks off from work only 5 months prior and my mom was sick so she didn't want to risk it.

QUOTE (Hien @ Oct 2 2009, 08:12 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Linda, I think that your reason of "talking on Yahoo more than on the phone" is not correct.

We knew each other by website and only email conversation within 2 years, I didn't have phone records for the first time we contact each other and I still got pink.

The main reason is your time to get engagement, that is too short from the first meeting to the engagement decision time.



That is Jerome & Binh...but I also don't think that's an issue either. I am just thinking of potential red flags...I wouldn't know if it was or not though...



I do not think it had anything to do with our yahoo chatting or anything else, I feel our ap was because of the answers my Fiancée gave. It is hard for some people to believe that a woman is in prison and then when she gave the reason it was even harder to stomacher. I think there is no real pattern to follow, and this forum just keeps us all guessing, and I think the Co's are loving every minute of it when they read all the posts. If something does not feel right they give you AP. Point blank, Jim addressed what he thought was red flags, he may or may not get put in AP I just think it will have to do with the answers at the interview more than anything we put in for evidence. I think they asked Binh one maybe 2 questions about my last petition if that, and as I have said countless times she saw pink, up until the the time the CO asked about my ex wife, and when Binh answered shortly after he left and came back with blue. If it was anything else he would have stopped asking questions long before and just asked for more evidence then and gave her a blue. So please people, I really think you are trying to analyze this subject way to much. Each case is different, what one CO thinks is different from another. They give us the standard requests with blue slips for a reason, and I think this reason is to not let us know what they are really thinking. I mean if you truly look at it, most people at the interview have a time line and yet they all ask for it, some even come with proof of relatives because so many people get blue for that as well. SO when you look at all of it it makes sense, no pattern, they just give the same reason time and again because something was said in the interview they did not understand or like. They do give clues with the blue, but nothing to form a real pattern. Front loading may or may not help, I am actually starting to think that if you give all the reasons they give on the blue slips ahead of time instead of blue they will start handing out denials instead. They are just either overwhelmed or don't like what they hear. This is my opinion, but as I said with all the people front loading, and people having the evidence they request at the interview and the Co refusing to look at it??? That is your pattern, I think maybe half of the people that are on the list with AP had most if not all of the requested evidence and they REFUSED to look at it, so that is your first clue, they refused to look at what they wanted to see. POINT BLANK no pattern, they are busy or just did not like what they heard. Good luck with all of your AP, I am getting ready for my trip I hope to talk with the CO and with any luck maybe we can get our visa.

I have seen enough in this forum to safely say one thing that out of all the red flags you mentioned above, the reddest of all is: RELATIVES IN THE US and second to it is Petitioner is introduced to Beneficiary by uncle, couisn, aunts, friends ... As soon as one of this thing come up during the interview. Count your luck out and expect a blue sheet.


They never asked Binh about her relatives in the us the entire time during the interview, they just requested that when they handed the blue out. None of her family even lives in the same state that I live in. I think they just threw that on because they knew we already had the timeline and proof of my ex wife residence.

So my husband will be picking up his visa tomorrow (10/14) and I know the visa is good for 6 months after it is issued, but after that point, does it expire for good and we just have to reapply all over again? Is there a waiver or an extension that we can file to change the date on the visa?

Not the Visa...but we got a PINK SLIP!! smile.gif He was told to come back on the 14th to pick up his passport with the visa in it.

Here's what happened:
At 12:30pm, he got to the embassy and had to queue up as they open at 1pm. There was a long line that extended out into the hot, bright sun. At 1pm, they started letting people in and he pulled a number and waited. Once inside and waiting, he started talking to a man that had a white slip and asked him what he was there for. The guy said that they had sent him that letter notifying him of the status. The guy with the white slip then said that it probably wasn't good news that my husband didn't have one, but then my husband told that guy that he had come by yesterday and the lady at the window told him to come back today with his passport. He then mentioned that he saw other people who came in behind him were being called up to the desks (but they were having their initial interview...) so he was about to get up to question why they were calling numbers out of order when his number came up. He went up to the window with his stub and the lady asked him why he was there (because he didn't have the results paper) and he explained to her that he had come by the day prior and the lady at the exterior window told him to come today between 1-2pm with his passport to exchange slips. She said "oh" and then processed his paperwork, gave him a pink slip, and told him to come back on the 14th to pick up his documents... biggrin.gif

...I guess the white slip that people are referring to is most likely the paper they send via mail to the beneficiary once their paperwork is done. Since my husband went to the Embassy, they probably didn't have a chance to send it out...Just my guess...

GREAT NEWS on the AP Front...

After much nagging, my husband finally went out to the Embassy to ask about the status of our petition on Tuesday, October 6, 2009 shortly after 2pm.

He went to the exterior window (Window B?) and they said that it appears that our cases has completed processing and she told him to bring his passport the following day, tomorrow, Wednesday 10/7/09 inside between 1pm-2pm to exchange slips.

We're not exactly sure what that means, but we're both VERY excited for tomorrow!! smile.gif

I was also introduced by a family member - Phuong's uncle - but I covered that in detail in the timeline I included in the petition. I had known him for years before he introduced me to Phuong. Hopefully, that will defuse that particular red flag. If we join the AP list after her interview then we'll know that maybe it didn't. blush.gif

I think a problem with the family in the US is that things were so confused during and after the war that a person in Vietnam might not know all of the family members they have in the US. Heck, I have cousins whom I haven't contacted for years, and I have no clue where they live. I can imagine how difficult it would be to keep track of everyone during a war or the mass migration that followed.

I included a list of relatives in my petition, but we kept it down to 3 generations - one before and one after Phuong's generation. That covered everyone I've met, and some I haven't. It took the cooperation of two of her family members in the US, and many in Vietnam to compile the list. The whole thing was quite confusing. Since I met Phuong I've met members of her family that she's never met, and wasn't even aware of. The list was non-sensical because many of the family members that connected the people in the list with Phuong were still living in Vietnam. Anyone reading the list would think "Wait! X is the daughter of Y and Z, but who the heck are Y and Z?". I ended up making a family tree diagram with a genealogy program to show how everyone was connected, and highlighted the ones in the diagram who are known to be living in the US. I included the diagram with the list.


We kept it to his immediate relatives. His mom and dad live in VN and the only person he has over his is his eldest sister in Louisiana that I've never met who immigrated over here almost 5 years ago on spouse visa.

I've been thinking about why I'm in AP so I've started thinking about what could have red flagged my case...
Linda & Dung
1. Short engagement after meeting...Met Early December, Engaged Late March, Married Mid May...
2. My parents didnt come back for my wedding - the CO asked about this in the interview...
3. List of SO relatives in US - He had this ready and available - Listed on the blue AP slip...
4. Proof of Bona Fide Relationship - had letters, emails, phone logs, pictures, affidavits - Listed on the AP slip...
5. I live with a guy who's my brother's bestfriend since childhood - the CO questioned me when I visited in Sept 2009
6. I've taken off a total of 4 months in the last 2 years for vacation - the CO asked about my job when I visted in Sept 2009


I think it would help others if anyone in AP could list their "potential" red flags too...


In another post Jerome & Binh listed theirs as:
1. Previous Marriage/Ex-wife in prison for a serious crime - questioned during interview
2. Time line, which Binh did have - listed on the blue AP slip
3. Proof of her relatives in America, this she did not have - listed on the blue AP slip
4. Filed for a visa 2 years before I filed for this petition and I put in a waiver and was deemed eligible to proceed
5. We talked more on Yahoo than on the phone

You're quite the lucky one! My husband's ex-gf was Buddist and the reason they broke up was over religion (lucky me). One of his best friends...not so lucky...they'd been dating for 5 years, and just recently broke up because neither would change religions...poor guy was so upset, depressed, and lonely my last trip! I swear I thought he was going to start crying...

Naw, nothing from them yet. I just emailed them last week. I'm waiting toward mid week to email them again. Thanks for asking. We're getting more and more nervous. My wife is learning the Catholic Bible right now. yayyyy!

Keep up with the emailing--even if they don't respond! And don't get too nervous...at least your still in the early phases of AP! tongue.gif lol...j/k...but really...don't worry, be happy! smile.gif

Your wife is converting from Buddism to Catholicism? How's her family taking it? That's a life changing event...

It actually came up when John and I were OTP the other day and were discussing Tuan's options... He was doing his second filing and I knew John and Jerome were also and John mentioned that there were others in AP that had filed before.. so a light went off... maybe... hmmmm ....


What's going on with John's case or Vi&Art, they are right after me...

Has anyone heard any news they can share?? I'm so ANXIOUS for results at this point...even if it's not mine!!!

Huong...have you guys heard anything about your case? Have you been emailing them? Just wondering...you're still early in the AP phase though so don't worry too much...hopefully the additional processing will result in Pink sooner for you than it has in my case! tongue.gif

Good luck to all those in AP. I remember how hard the wait was for my CR-1 and I couldn't imagine waiting for more than a year to have your loved one be with you in the United States.. May everyone in AP get a swift approval and get the visa in hand to make that trip to USA.
