We're not on that list...we had our interview and medical on 9/11.

The visa was being held up by the panel physician wanting a letter from my husband's GP about his depression. We faxed that letter to the doctor last Friday. We were told they would contact us if anything was 'wrong', otherwise they'd send the results on to the US Embassy in London today. We had no messages, so I'm guessing they have done so.

Hopefully the visa will come later this week or early next week.

Hi All,

My finance had his interview yesterday and was approved kind of. The interviewer did not think he had enough proof of our relationship so approved him pending receipt of more proof which he had to send by courrier, along with his passport, back to the embassy today. They said he should have his visa within 5 business days of when they receive it which should be tomorrow. I know this is good but still, I am pissed.

He brought everything that the checklist asked for and NOWHERE did it say he needed to bring proof. I sumitted all that in the beginning!!! So, my question is - how was he supposed to know to bring this???? The worst past is that we've been together for five years and even lived together for two of those. We more than enough proof. Had he been told to bring it there would have been no problem. However now his visa will be delayed by about a week. So now I'm thinking that perhaps we missed something. Can you please let me know on which documents it says that he should have brought this "proof"? Surely it must have been stated somewhere. If not, that's just plain ridiculous.

He sent back 47 pieces of proof today including pictures, letters, emails, phone bills and copies of visa stamps dating back to 2001. If that doesn't do it then I don't know what will.

*sigh*

Actually it's not in the guides. Strange. What's needed is ongoing proof - from when you filed till now - proof.

[expatrica 0]

Actually, especially after reading others' experiences here, his seems even weirder.

She asked him TONS of questions about me including, "So, what do you like about her so much." He then started telling her why he loves me. She interrupted him after a while and said, and she's beautiful too, right? And he said, "Well, yes she is." That's when she said he needed more proof.

That whole exchange just strikes me as so odd! It's just so frustrating that he had more than enough stuff at his disposal which he could have brough along.

I am at a loss as to why she grilled him so much. Grrrrr.

That is odd. Have you seen each other often in the time of the relationship? Is there a huge age difference? Anything that could be looked at strangely?

[expatrica 0]

- We've been together since 2001.

- We lived together in Boston from July - September 2002.

- We lived together in London from 2003-2005 (I have dual us-german citizenship).

- Since I moved back we've seen each other every three months.

- He's been to the US three times since the start of 2006. The most recent was from mid July - mid August.

- We're 4 months apart in age.

Nothing weird at all. In fact, I'd say that we've seen each other a lot more than most people applying for fiance visas considering that we lived together for so long!

I know there is nothing we can do about it now and that he'll definitely get the visa with all the docs he's sent in today. However, I'm so frustrated since it seems he was targeted rather randomly and unfairly. Also, the interviewers comments regarding my physical appearance seem, quite frankly, inappropriate and besides the point.

Oh well. Sorry to ramble. I'm just venting!

[Mags 112]

Actually, on one of the forms that you filled in with packet 3 (DS-230 part 1?) it says at the bottom, in a box above where you sign, all the things that must be presented with the form. Birth cert, police certs etc and evidence of relationship.

Granted it doesn't say anything in your packet 3 checklist (or the reminder list with packet 4) nor did my interviewer at the embassy today ask me for any evidence of mine and PlatyCian's relationship, but it does say it on that form. So it is actually mentioned, albeit not very obviously.

But if you're reading through the forms when you fill them in, and considering later on you will sign them, you should read it all through very carefully. After all you could be signing your life away...

So sorry to hear about your delay. I think your fiance' must have had the same interviewer we did.... maybe she has a bad relationship going on in her life right now. Oh well, to happier notes, it is just a delay!
