Had Interview Today

[ladywhite 0]

I don't remember if it was required or not, but I also did turn in copies of all pages in my passport with stamps.

Hello Mark-N-AAm:

I do not think the passport page(s) with entry and exit stamp(s) is"required." Most people have it ready or even submit it on their interviews as proof of their meetings/their fiances' visits. I plan on submitting it along with other things, as well.

But the "certified" passport pages sound strange, like i said. I'm wondering who the CO was that interviewed qbertz7's fiancee (i.e., Japanese or US officer). I would not be sure what that CO had in mind when asking for a "certified" copy of passport pages. If the CO is American, did he mean "certified" the same as it is supposed to mean in the US OR he just meant "certified" in a way that is acceptable in thailand?

To qbertz7: -- If i may, was your fiancee sure she was asked for the "certified" copy of the passort pages?

Anway, i wish all the best, qbertz7. my turn is in 5 days.

Yes ladywhite, my fiance scanned the paper that she got for what was required of us. It said, 'amend beneficiary's passport and certfied copies of passport pages for proof of entry/exit to Thailand.'

My fiance said she got the Japanese guy who was quite nice to her and only asked about 3 questions. I even emailed the embassy to confirm what they wanted in terms of 'certified copies of passport pages' and they just want each copy signed by me. My fiance will also print out the reply email the embassy sent to me just in case they try to put something on us and say that's not certified, and she can show them the email!

Your fiancee will get the visa as long as you provide the missing documents..

qbertz,

question for you...did you not provide regular photo copies of your passport w/ your original petition? in our case i submitted that along w/ the letter of intent etc., i did go to the interview and provided my original (expired passport) to them but she didn't even glance at it. wonder if that is something new?

at any rate good luck to you both!!! you will be reunited before you know it!

qbertz7:

Thank you for more detailed info. i'm sure once they receive what they want, your girl will receive the visa.

Just be ready to celebrate. Congratulations in advance !!!!!!!

qbertz7:

Congratulations !!! I am very happy for you.

Well, i came to my interview today with confidence and not expecting any surprises... Guess what? i have a surprise to share. It's got to be tomorrow since it's late tonight and i need to go to bed. just came back from BKK.

I was not approved today.

[qbertz7 1]

I'm so sorry to hear that ladywhite! They got you too!

Don't worry though, as soon as you get those transcripts to them they will approve you, no problem.

At least you weren't planning to go back until October anyway right? Although I know how it feels to have to wait even longer, it's so hard, but you'll get through it. Good luck!

qbertz7:

thank you... i hope i'll be fine.

did your fiancee receive the paper with the checked box on Section 221(g) like i did? i don't think so.

from what i read from another immigration web board, Section 221(g) is a "soft" denial. but once what is requested is submitted, the visa will be granted.

i thought this would be over in a few days when i came back to BKK to pick up my visa. it turns out i have two trips to BKK to go.

even though i plan on returning to the US in October, I want to have the visa in my passport now.. not later !!!

thanks again for your support.
