Visa Denied Also

[martindart 0]

Well everyone,

I've gotten everything my congressman's office asked for together. And I will hand deliver it tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully they can help in some way.

Also Ngoc called ME's assistant in Ho Chi Minh City and has setup an appointment to see him.

I'm so low I'm not expecting any help at this point, but the fact that I am trying to do something about it is keeping my head above water.

The worst part of this is having to explain to everyone you know why you didn't get the visa. And then them agreeing with you that someone must be on drugs not to approve it.

Sigh...

This information is all so familiar… After my blue and green-sheeted letters came my way, I wanted my case sent back to USCIS so I could fight on USA soil at USCIS Nebraska, where I file in 2004. I won the case and the director of USCIS Nebraska reaffirmed my petition then sent it back to HCMC via NVC who sent it on to HCMC.

Petitions sent back to USA go from HCMC to NVC Portsmouth, from here, they sent to the service center where you filed the K-129, remember, all this travel takes time. After about a year we had a second interview where my fiancée forgot our engagement date…. She was nervous and we were blue sheeted again! The translator, a 21 y/o gal had too much involvement in the process and I protested that. I contacted ME, he got the ball moving again, and after more months she arrived in June 2007

All I can say is, if you love em, you dig in and wait, wait, wait, you keep your life as you do. I brought a computer form my Love Vo and we chatted/web cam daily. Keep life the best you can and keep fighting! If you quit, you never really loved that person. “Hang Tough” for me, birthdays will pass, holidays pass by and friends and family member(s) pass away. If you surrender, you will only kick yourself later saying; time have past... and I quit fighting... You will always tell yourself, “mai mai” (forever) thereafter, I should have stuck it out.

I found that using my Congressman office was rather useless. The Consulate in HCMC finds no threat from local Congressman involment sure, they, (my Congressman’s liaison) kept my hope up and gave me different information than what the consulate was giving me which only added to my frustrations.

Hang in there.

Small update. ME is heading back to HCMC tomorrow, and will be meeting with my fiancee early next week. My congressman got back to me and asked me to fill out a form allowing them to use my personal information and claim they are working on my case.

Meanwhile we have reassembled our entire case and reprinted everything and given it to ME's associates. Also I got notarized affidavits from my parents, brother and his fiancee, and my coworkers attesting to the validity of Ngoc and I's relationship.

I just hope this all can do some kind of good.

good luck, i hope you get the pink soon. i almost hired ME, i did have my fiancee consult with him after our first green slip. it seemed kinda of pricy so i decided to try on my own first and i guess we got lucky.

I hope it gets sorted out! I'll be sending my best.

I hope I am not to late to add my 2 cents on this. Letters from family and friends that know you as a couple can be very beneficial. I would also say a letter from your fiance's 2nd cousin explaining the situation, and his part in introducing you would be very helpful as well.

We were denied a CR1 visa, so I know this process well. From what I understand they are now expiring petitions, so you have to start again. It is best if you can get it stopped at the consulate. If not you must wait for it to expire and then either file again or get married.

BTW, 15 months after the initial denial my husband got his visa. He has now been here for 1 1/2 years, and he was well worth the wait.

Good luck.

I'll have the interview next month. I have read many posts, learned many things from others' experience and prepared a lot of evidence to avoid a blue slip. Reading this thread makes me think all my preparation and evidences could go to the drain because of the translators.

There is nothing much I can do. I wish you all will unite soon

ME just contacted me. He will be going to the consulate tomorrow about my (and others cases). Fingers are crossed!
