Benny's interview was scheduled so quickly! We thought it'd be about a month out. Instead it's only two weeks! Hopefully they don't have problems scheduling his medical in this short period of time.

That's wonderful!! Good luck!!!!

Benny went to the medical exam today but they're not sending his stuff to Frankfurt. His blood pressure was 160/105 so the doctor says he has to see another doctor. He was nervous, running late, and had gotten lost. Would they seriously hold up a visa for high blood pressure????

They can hold back the medical results as they see fit, they did that to me which delayed the issuance of my visa, but I got it eventually and all is well now.

How long did it delay your visa?

I had to have a ct scan, so had to wait 3 weeks for that appointment then wait for the results, once they were clear the hospital wrote to the medical centre and they released my notes to the embassy a few days later, my visa was then issued within a day or so of the embassy recieving them.

The new doctor put him on medicine and gave him the 3 immunizations he didn't have (DTaP, MMR, & Varicella). At the medical exam they took blood but the new doctor did also. We're not sure why. They gave him an EKG and want to see him back after the interview. Maybe they're exhausting the tests they can do all on the free insurance program they have in Germany. It's all so much for Benny since he hasn't been to the doctor in so long.

Benny called from Frankfurt this morning. Odd that the caller ID said Utah call.

He'd brought a birthday card from my son for part of his proof of the relationship. However, because of the song device (Star Wars music) they wouldn't let him take it in. They said it was an electronic device. Funny they wouldn't let a birthday card through.

They made him take more photos (so he lost his place in line) because his ears weren't showing in the ones he brought with him. Benny said he saw nowhere that his ears had to show.

He forgot to bring the picture of us but the agent signed off on the visa anyway. We just have to wait for the medical to be done. It appears the doctor wants to use all that the free insurance allows, mostly because Benny hasn't been to the doctor in so long.

Hello K1 filers!

I had my final interview yesterday and after 4 hours of sitting around and waiting, I had the interview. The officer wasn't the nicest one but I challenged

his questions and at the end he told me they'll issues the Visa!

I still think that everything went pretty fast in our case, regarding to the mistakes that happened.

I can only say be patient and everything will work out!

Good luck to everybody!

The embassy in my home country sent Packet 3 to the old address in the US. It took a while to figure this out!

It sounds like the embassy doesn't really know what they're doing....or at least aren't consistent about anything. When Benny went to Frankfurt the lady up front told him that he needed to have his picture with his ears showing. But when he went to the next station the guy asked Benny which picture he wanted to submit - ears or no ears.

Benny received his visa today!

There can't be too many of us left in here by now.

We have had ANOTHER delay. Pete called the embassy in London to see about his interview date and they told him he needs an I-134. We don't have it because our lawyer said we didn't need it. I am sponsoring him with a co-sponsor and all of that is in the long form -- if you just look at the I-134, it would look like he wouldn't pass.

Soooo, the lawyer has made up an 1-134, emailed it to me to sign, I will send it to her to notarize and DHL to him -- then finally he can send it off to London (where it will probably get lost....at the rate we're going.) His paperwork expires in late September so this is getting scary.

Hi, Are there any other Feb filers at VSC still waiting for their NOA2? I'm at a loss here as the six month time is almost up. I called customer service to follow up on a request for status that I put in for 60 days ago and they haven't heard anything so they re-issued a request for status from VSC (and they've asked me to wait another 45 days for the VSC to respond even though I waited 60 days for the first request for status and got nothing). I mentioned to the woman on the line that I'm at the six month limit and she responded that the processing is at least up to one year for a I129F.

I don't know what to do. I've signed up on the website and I haven't seen any touches since early May when they processed a change of address. My fear is this thing is lost in the mix.

Does anyone know of any other way to contact VSC without going through that customer service line?

Thanks,
