Problems with USEM

[DWOODARD72 0]

If anyone can provide me with some insight on this, it would be greatly appreciated. My fiancee had her interview on May 20th. Everything seems to have gone well so we thought. We paid the document verification fee on 4/30 hoping that this would insure that everything would be taken care of by the time of her interview. To date, we still have not received the visa. What makes matters worse is that through constantly contacting the USEM, I found out that they were waiting for the result of the verification of my fiancee's birth certificate even though they had never contacted the NSO to verify that document. The USEM had only requested that her CENOMAR be verified and that was done on 5/23. To make a long story short, all of my fiancee's papers have been verified and are now with the CO since 6/30. We have yet to be contacted about additional requirements and of course we are still waiting on the visa. Does anyone know how long it takes for the CO to review cases once they have all of the papers? We are being told that the maximum turnaround time is six weeks. Also, is there anyway we can get the name and contact information of the specific CO so we can find out what is the hold up. I know we might be a bit impatient on this but I have watch numerous people get their visas already and their interviews were in June.

if NSO had forwarded your fiancee's CENOMAR to USEM i am sure in few weeks she will get her visa. And regarding with your question of the CO contact number it is not given to anyone but we are able to talk the telephone operator they have assigned. Goodluck

You can't talk to a CO over the phone. They designated Grace and Lorraine to hold us. Have you talked to them? This is their number: 023012000 loc 5184 or 5185. Try to call them..Goodluck and may she get her visa soon!

I'd like to thank everyone that has replied. Yes, I have spoken to both Grace and Lorainne regarding my case status. Every time there was an update to my case status, I was told the turnaround time for case to reach the next stage would be six weeks. My fiancee had her interview over seven weeks ago and we are still waiting. I've seen other who have had their interview last month already receive their visas. The waiting would not be so bad if we had any guarantee that things are being taken care of. It just seems that everything done in regards to the process is completely at random.
