Congrats Marm!!!

[MARM 7]

Thanks for the congrats!

I called DOS today like I do everyday, and this is how the conversation went:

I called DOS like I do everyday, and today, the DOS rep was like, "Are you sitting down or standing up?" And I said, "What? I mean I am sitting down" And she said, "congratulations, the visa was issued today" And I burst out in tears of joy and thanked her a bajillion times and she said enjoy your new life and congrats and we are so happy to give you this news.....

The courier will probably take it from the embassy tomorrow and deliver to my fiance on Friday.

I called EVERY single day including a few hours after the interview. I also emailed the embassy a couple of times a week. My philosophy, "The squeaky wheel gets the oil." I think especially with the embassy, since they have to print and put emails into the file, it kept my file on top. AND when I gave them two options for a second interview when I would be present they took one. I won't say it will work for everyone, but that's how things worked for me.

How do you know that they have to print all e-mails???

The embassy told me.

If that is the case they have maybe 6 or 7 emails from me since January 09 which they printed out but did not bother to reply to.

Congratulations MARM

Hmmm Embassy in Dakar always responds in less than 24 hours to me. I don't know if all embassy's print out the emails but ours does.

Have you asked DOS if there is any documentation of the embassy receiving your emails? That's one thing I was told by DOS, "On such and such day they received an email from you" or "they responded to your email"

Hi WhidbeyGirl,

I called 1-202-663-1225 a few times but I am only able to get machines that give generic information and refer you to go to different websites. How do I get a hold of "Jessica" or other helpful Immigration Officers that can give me status of my case. Thanks.

Call that number then press 1 and then press 0, that will get you to an customer service person - hopefully Jessica
