APPROVED.

I just got an email from them embassy, "the visa was approved by the consul and she can pick it up on Monday." But when i spoke with Dora she was completely drained. We have always been open that she had a cancelled tourist visa. The consul did not care at all any documents about our relationship. He beat her up for 1 hour about her cancelled tourist visa. She almost passed out. They brought her water and candy.

The consul wants to run her fingerprints one more time against a US data base, then she can pick up the visa on Monday. Yes, i am greatly relieved but this is tempered by the brutal treatment she got from the consul. I NEED A DRINK!

Vj'ers,

Thank you so much for the many heartfelt wishes. It has been so touching to see so many members just offer a common joy in our journey. But i want to share with those few members who have a situation similar to mine so they may better prepare.

Dora had a CANCELLED 10 year tourist visa. She was coming last Jan (after our relationship had begun), and we were anting to explore the possibility of our relationship. (I was divocred with 3 children). She was denied entry 14 months ago. Of course came the long road to be able to legally marry her in her country.

Our lawyer told us 14 months ago that at the interview, the fact of her cancelled visa would be the hot topic. Even after all this time we did NOT know how pivotal this would be even after countless chats with our lawyer. In the end, Dora arrived with a truck load of documentation supporting our marriage, he asked to see nothing.

All he did was pound her for (i came to know 2 hours) as to her original tourist visa application. It appears afterwards that his sole purpose was to ensure that my wife was not

a visa violator from the very instance that she desired to VISIT the USA. The interview was so brutal that at one point the interviewer feared Dora might pass out and she was escorted out for water and candy, then to resume the interview. Now, my fellow members, Dora is college educated and this process almost broke her. Even after he told her she was approved she was not certain as to her fate. SHE WAS BROKEN BY THE INTERVIEW.

The only reason she was approved was that our marriage was VALID. How i mean that is that the consul could NOT find any break in her story as to her intent to visit the USA.

So, for my fellow VJ'ers if your spouse has a prior visa problem, expect a very difficult interview at the least. But if your journey is true, they will never be able to break it. But if you are hiding, they will find it.

So, for those that may be hiding something, don't ever expect a happy ending. But for those that have nothing to hide, stand in the light for darkness can not overshadow it.

Dranied,

jamie
