PLEASE HELP!!!

[Mike n Huong 1]

As you all of you know we were affected by IMBRA, and are awaiting our approval to be reaffirmed. Well, my fiancee Huong just called me and she just received Packet 4 in the mail with her interview date of August 14. What do we do, not say anything and hope they won't realize it. I just don't know what to do. I have all her evidence here and I want to fly there for her interview. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Wow Mike, I am sorry that you find yourself in this situation.

This is totally just my opinion: I would think that it could really be dangerous if you move forward with the interview. You don't want to risk your visa because they decide you are trying bypass the process. I don't know much about the consulate you are working with. Can you get any useful communication from there?

Call the Embassy immediately and ask for their advice. Document who and when what was

said...plan on attending interview BUT make sure you have documentation that you spoke

to someone about this. Just my opinion

Wow, Mike! Call NVC and explain your situation. I wouldn't risk going to the interview without the second approval. E-mail the consulate when/if you get something from NVC.

I think your I-129F was approved immediately after July 18th based on your timeline without you being notified. The approved packages are sent directly to the embassy. They get they within days. You can call the Embassy because the Visa Center may not know. good luck.

Let's hope it is the second approval sent to the embassy. I agree with the other Vj's don't risk bypassing the system with a mistake, it will only comeback to get you. Also, your demonstration of honesty with the embassy will be very much appreciated. I have to beleive honesty will be rewarded.

Maybe when you talk to the embassy they will let you know that it is the second approval they are scheduling for.

I would contact your congressman's aid for assistance as well and let them know the situation, it will go a long way and you will get a resolution very quickly.

It's weird that NVC wouldn't know about it, since they've sent e-mails to other approved recalled petitions, stating that they were being sent to NVC, who would then forward them to the embassies.

It's also weird that Mike would have gotten an approval withou being sent an update e-mail, although I can see that could happen.

Here's the number for NVC: 603-334-0700

I called the NVC a few minutes ago and I was tranfered to a supervisor who told me that the IMBRA cases will go through the NVC briefly before going to the Embassy. Now you have it

Mike, I wouldn´t go to the interview without calling the Consulate before.

However, you should be getting your approval very soon, at anytime actually.

So I would wait until getting the reapproval and then I would call them.

Much better to say: "You sent the packet 4 and we just got reapproved" then saying "You sent the packet 4 but we were recalled".

hey there. we were sent an appointment date for the interview before coming into compliance with IMBRA. when my fiancee showed up for the intervew, they told her it was an error. i would suggest going anyway... see what happens - it wouldn't hurt. but, expect the worst - that being that they realize the error and say they need the re-approval, i.e. more waiting on your part

Good luck, man.
