I know this has probably been covered before but I'm so lost right now I'm in a panic. My husband was called on Monday to bring papers from the beginning of our relationship (which I thougt had been forwarded to the Consulate) He returned to the Consulate today with more documents of our relationship. He spoke to a nice woman that asked me about me, my daughter and the rest of my family. The woman said everything looked great and that he was (dont get excited) approved would return on Friday to pick up his Visa. Then on his way out, they handed him his passport and was told that the papers would be going back to the U.S.???

I am under the impression that if they are sending the papers back that the visa is a "no go" But then why did this woman tell him to come back on Friday to get his Visa?

This makes no sense to me. Can someone PLEASE shead some light on this for me.

Should I be happy or bummed?

Thanks

Did he get the visa stamped in his passport?

What is sent to the US is the greencard itself.

Contact the consulate asap.

greencard sent to the US? I do not think so as only the USCIS issues the greencard after entry is made.

YMMV

Conflicting information needs to be cleared up with the Consulate directly but if they handed him his passport without a visa in it, he won't be picking up that same passport Friday with a visa inside.

Green cards are mailed from and within not to the USA.

I have an update (and the whole story) from my husband. I wasn't too clear on what had happened today but now I have it.

He went to the appointment, the woman asked more questions and at the end said everything looked really good and handed him his Passport and green paper and told him to come back on Friday to get his Visa. As he is walking out, he is stopped and told to go back to the lady. The woman says she is "sorry" but she can not give him the visa because something about sending papers to Washington. He was again, given a white paper with the check mark which reads: Other - Your case requires further administrative processing. We will contact you when that process is finished. The lady tells him that they will contact him in 1 week!!

Can anyone translate this Casa Consulate Code? All signs pointed to YEAH :thumbs: but now I'm afriad it may be a NAH! :crying:

Thank you for your input on this matter!!!!!

I think all signs point to a poorly trained Consular Officer. As such I wouldn't take the one week prediction seriously either.

I'm afriad your right! I just don't know what to expect at this point and that really puts a strain of the emotional rollercoaster. The Consulate was pretty quick in getting him in after the initial "white paper" saying Other & that they needed to review the documents that were submitted during the interview. They had him back in 2 weeks. I'm just really at a loss as to what to think at this point.

Sorry to be such a bummer in all the posts I do. I hope we have some good news soon!
