That sucks. That's one of the reasons why I told Ngan to answer in Vietnamese if she had any doubts in her mind about her possible English answer. Go in there and punch the CO in the face.

Engagement in Lunar Calendar or Western Calendar?

You did not think you could slide by unnoticed Don ?? Thuy and I send our best wishes to Phuong & Don and for a successful PINK interview on feb 28th ( 2nd time JUST PINK ALL the Way ) ... rent a 2nd suit ... whatever it takes ...

I don’t believe this…They denied her a visa because she answered our engagement year 2005 rather than 2004

With all we have been through to deny us because of a trivial little misstake is unbelievable!

I am upset…

Wow...I too am sorry and cannot believe this!

Is this a complete and actual denial at this point? What further courses of action can you take?

Did you ask for the attorney M.E to help??

When I came to the interview, I didn't remember the exact date as I was very nervous, I only said about the month and year for all events. What I could remember exactly, I told them, what I could not remember I told them that I didn't remember.

Yes, Mark Ellis is involved and is my Attorney since I won the appeal. He is Great Attorney and is a now needed person for his talents. A matter was resolved in my first denial however, at least three (3) questions were asked during the last interview that should not have been an issue. Secondly, when asked about our engagement? She said 2005, which is wrong it is 2004 and yet, a moment later she apologized for the error and stated 2004 The “male” consulate officer snapped at her and said “too late” you had your chance” The CO even said: “you are also wrong again” Huh? That is the correct answer how can she be wrong again?

Available to the Consulate for inspection:

Reaffirmed DECISION letter for USCIS Nebraska Director office. (Appeal 2005 denial/revocation, which I won)

A two page signature petition from ALL Staff Members form my Elementary school (supporting we have a true and sincere relationship and (we the undersigned) do believe they (fiancée and I) will marry within the 90 of her arrival.

Two letters from a Board Certified Physician (most recent) 2/22/07 medical condition that makes me being in Vietnam harsh environment totally impossible for me to bear. (Side effect of long-term treatment)

Hundreds of emails, few love letters, dozens of Western Union receipts, Computer purchased (this is the cheapest or free way to communicate USA to Vietnam)

Two major credit cards with our ceremony photo on them.

Birthday cards, Christmas cards from both myself and my eight year Granddaughter since January 2004

One video of me speaking Vietnamese (I’m the first to admit I’ll never be a translator for the United Nations)

Hundred of Photos, DVD/VHS of our ceremony in Bien Hoa

2-page list of questions with detailed answers required of the consulate back at the first denial aka green letter 2005 interview notarized

In addition, a lot more including all required document completed.

We received a blue letter this time that says: We do not want any more documents we want more processing time in our office. Now does this mean we are now in Administrative Review?

AR can take up to one year to complete and after one year, the consulate can cancel the petition.

Are there anyone here who has been through AR before the deadline of one year expired and received a K-129 Visa? I would like to know this. Thanks for any input about AR

Well, Hope, this information does help someone here at VJ.

Dear Martindart,

It's really painfull for you and your wife. I don't know how to say to share your sadness.

Wish you lucky and hope that Marc Ellis can help you this time.

You should try to push the process as after one year, her DS-156 form will be expired. I think M.E know how to do.

Crushing. Man I just don't know...

Maybe marry there and go for an I-134. I know I'd move to Thailand if it came to that but educating my son would be a hassle. And his mom might decide to get maternal at that late date too, who knows.

What options are you looking at MD?

Attorney is in disbelief; Congressman Office staff liaison for international matters is concerned (blue letter) due to a simple misunderstanding? they are involved now. Visa Chief returns March 14, 2007 and I pray My Attorney is eager for answers, I am, No chart notes in our file regarding past meetings between my attorney and visa chief? It appears, I hope, Someone misplaced my file that NSC sent to HCMC last July

Matters resolved in my favor from 2005 interview were brought up again during 2/28/07 interview. Nebraska Service Center REAFIRRED their decision that this petition is fine “twice”. Reasonable People act accordingly; The Consulate (in this case) is NOT acting as reasonable people would. The only sound reason is that my reaffirmed petition file was not available to the Consulate Officer review before our February 28, 2007 interview.

My Fiancée was not caught in a lie or even later found attempting to deceive anyone she was nervous and said the wrong year of our engagement. This can be answered two ways: In USA, year of engagement is the year one purpose marriage. In Vietnam, this can mean the year you have the ceremony. I just discovered this information.

Hang in there...=-)

All this trouble - and after your NOA2 came fairly quickly for NSC/CSC too! And during the holidays.

I wonder if someone lost face or got in trouble in HCMC and has a resentment???

Man man man ... The US Consulate in Saigon is sick. Hang in there, my friend. You are now in AR according to what you said here but as soon as the Chief of Visa comes back, I am sure you will have an answer. Whatever you do, make sure you do not wait for them to come to you with answer, you come to them for an answer.

I used to be indecisive. Now I am just not sure ...

This just in… One of the roles of the Visa Chief is to handle Reaffirmed petition(s) himself. Why is one of his staff handling his exclusive responsibilities?

Stay tuned..
