Consulate Returned K-129F for sham reason

[martindart 0]

The Consulate (after her Interview July 2005) returned our K-129F petition. Consular Officer said; We believe as reasonable people do, "NOT" anyway, They said we were trying to evade immigration laws and we have a sham relationship. As of June 12, 2006 I have received a DECISION letter from Nebraska Service Center STATING: After review of the record, including any responses you have sent to this office, the approval of the petition is REAFFIRMED and the petition has been forwarded to United States Consulate/Embassy at Ho Chi Minh City

What is the likelihood of the Consulate (Visa Unit) in Vietnam to now approve our petition? does anyone know, do we have a little better chance of them approving our petition or do we now have absolute approval?

Has anyone had to go this far for a K-129F? Our Notice of Action I-797C NOA2 receipt date is December 3, 2004

The Consulate sent our petition back to the SC who approved our petition in September 2005 and I got a chance to rebut the consular officers findings and recieved the reaffirmed decision letter from Nebraska Service Center on June 12, 2006 (you do the math on how long one MUST wait to resolve a matter like this)

I recieved the consulars report as to why it was denied and declared a sham relationship. They said because I was in my Fiancee company for 2 days only.

I was in VN for 20 days. I wore a suit and tie during our ceremony and all the others day I wore my carhart clothes. All, if not most of our photos taken together in VN visiting all the sites/landmarks days and or nights together I was wearing my carharts... Word to the wise: CHANGE CLOTHES DAILY WHEN BEING PHOTOGRAPH of you and your fiancee taken together that you plan on presenting at the time of interview.

Stay happy and Healthy when waiting..

Martindart,

Please see my reply to your previous post on Consular procedure. The couple that was successful with their denial/reaffirmed case experienced a delay in the paperwork being returned to the HCMC Consulate after it was reaffirmed. They required the help of a US Senator to track down the case and get it back to the Consulate. My advice would be to get in touch with your Senator on Congressman's office (which ever one is willing to help) and have them track this thing now!

Come on down to the Southeast Asia forum and join the Vietnam family. There is more specific info/opinions available on the feifdom of the HCMC Consulate and it's practices.

martindart,

In a tropical country like Vietnam, one should also change clothes daily (if not twice daily) so that they don't stink. (I'm surprised that your fiancee didn't call off the engagement by the end of the 2nd day.)
