thank you Charles People that are actually going through a visa process can say what they want, but I know this guys type. I have been on a few message boards and can smell a fake from a mile away.

Yeah, I think they meant to change the message to that one that says something like "your case has been re-approved and send to NVC..." (I forget the exact wording). My congressman also sent me a lett

hey all! My wife and I are now back in San Diego...together for once! I will post a POE review about Orlando soon, but I will say this much...our experience was absolutely horrible. Basically the officer told me that he thought our marriage was bullshit because my wifes hand was shaking when she was asked to do fingerprints. He then went on to question me about the legitimacy of our relationship and told me he had his "doubts". He then explained how big the punishment was for a fake marriage, asked if I got paid, etc..it sucked soooo bad after all we have gone through. Nevertheless, at the end, he said he would take my word for it, and processed her entrance to the US and I guess that is all that matters.Of course there was no "welcome to the US" or anything for my wife, and the whole experience made her feel terrible and embarrassed as well. Complete and utter #######. Good luck to all of you and hope you dont have the same experience.

I am disgusted at what happened to you and your wife! It just infuriates me at such cruelty! Gary is due to come in through Orlando but I don't want him to now!wacko.gif "Welcome to America" to your lovely wife and I hope her experiences here will only be positive from now on. I"m becoming very disillusioned with everything that is going on regarding immigration and people who want to do it the RIGHT way. It is NOT fair.

thanks everyone, wish you all the very best at your interview!!! I will be back with many more congrats once you all are done! To Val: Gary will be fine, hes from the UK and not Colombia lol. Just tell him to try to remain calm and be overly excited to be in that small immigration room no matter if he is tired! We were told that we werent happy enough so that raised suspicions...supposedly the officer has seen thousands of people just like us and all of them were so excited and happy, and of course not shaking. I guess he didnt listen to the part that my wife told him about getting up at 3 am and dragging 5 suitcases down 6 floors because the elevator wasnt working. If you get CO Thompson, tell him that I have my doubts about his marriage :rofl:

Everyone will be :dance: :dance: soon
