Good News!

We have visa in hand!

Delhi asked for new local police certificate and passport - time in their hands was about 1 week - pick up this morning.

I wasn't expecting such a short turn around [once bitten twice shy] - so only 1 year and 12 days after the first interveiw we finally can move on!

I've got a wedding to plan...

Hi everyone,

We have been in ap since april 09, embassy website says our case is complete for 6 weeks now but my husband has not received a phone call or e-mail from them. he has tried calling them, he cant get through it is a recording. I have called dos they tell me still pending ap. I have also contacted my sentator and congresman's office. they have sent an e-mail to embassy with no reply from the embassy. I too have sent an e-mail to the embassy they tell me still pending ap.

I just dont understand, why the embassy's website say our case is complete but yet they are not contacting my husband.

Nov 1st was are 2nd wedding anv. I was so hoping we would be together.

I miss him sooo very much. some days I feel like I want to go to sleep and never wake up. Im soooo tired. :crying:

can anyone give me some kind of hope this will end soon?

on the embassy website it says he has until feb 3rd then the visa will not longer be vaild. what if they dont contact him before this date?

thank you for any advice you can give me.

God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you

NEED. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you

into the person you were meant to be.

I know each embassy operates differently but DOS gave me a telephone number that the Embassy in Ukraine would answer and told me to inform them that I was calling from the US and I was able to talk to someone twice. Or maybe he should go to the Embassy and tell them he got a request to submit his passport maybe he will get lucky and they will take sympathy on him.
