Ok another thing that disturbs me is some men go to any country and marry females half their age, and they fly through the system even if they have been married a few times before. Where is justice in the system? What as being a female petitioner marrying a foreign man we have to suffer. I thought we are living in the modern world now, but it still seems like society has not changed.

i totally agree with you starlight, my husband and i have been apart now over 2 years and now this 7 month ap is ridiculous and i think my husbands heart attack was directly related to all this aggravation stress due to ap hell. Its simply not fair, meanwhile the mexican slip back and forth thru our borders ilegally at will takeing our jobs for less pay and working under the table and not paying taxes and our gov't does nothing about it, yet we have to wait, i would think after 7 mos they could do all the checks they needed,i'd like to know just what it is they are doing but then thats part of the aggravation they seem to love to put on us.Its not like i can go see my husband whenever i want to, i'm not rich and i have to stay here and work. Yeah, i second that motion, wheres the justice????????? Pat

I completely agree and it makes me so angry that females from other cultures who obviously have arranged marriages for visa purposes are allowed to come to the States immediately. I know of two cases in my very small NJ town. We all have married for love and wait and worry that we'll get the visa. We spend countless hours, tears, and money on visits, living arrangements, etc.

It sounds good and i hope that everything will work out good for you .And everything will go smooth at the embassy level and he will get the visa in no time .

Update :

Well i have some news but I'm not sure if its good news or not .

I called the embassy on Thursday April 8,2010 and it was about 30 minutes phone call .The woman there was very nice and friendly to me .I told her everything about my journey .And how hard it is to wait and wait for all that long time ....... That woman knows me so well cause she used to answer my calls .She promised me that she will talk to the CO in charge of my case to tell her about how hard it is for us ...........

Yesterday I sent 2 Emails one to the embassy .And one to the Consul General .

And i told him about everything since i had my interview back in March of 2009 .

I got an Email from the Consul General and i really don't know if i should be excited .I don't know if i have to believe them this time .I mean i have a bad experience with them before '' when they asked me to send in my passport so they can issue me the visa back in Aug of 2009 and sadly they did not and it was a false hope '' .

Here is the Email that i got from the Consul General

That is great news! I know what you mean about not wanting to get your hopes up. The same thing happen to us with in 2007. I have an email from the embassy stating that they wanted my husbands passport so they could issue the visa. We sent the passport, they sent it back to us with no visa...then they returned the case to the U.S. So here we are again a few years later. He was interview, was told that he was approved, and we are still waiting....

I truely hope that you get the visa soon. I truely hope that they are shooting you straight this time. I know how hard it is when you want to believe in them, but....you've been burned by them before.

I hope to tell you Congratulations really soon!!!!

[bridget and alen 0]

It really does sound like good news to me.I hope you get it this week.I know you ,as all of us want to be with the one you love.You are in my prayers.Good luck

It's terrible isn't it! And you don't fit the 'profile' for AP, so it's doubly terrible for you. The embassy tells me that it's in Washington and as soon as Washington responds they'll issue the visa. 'Washington' says it's not with the USCIS or the NVC, but at another agency that doesn't give updates (FBI? CIA?) who knows! Usually we get a few approvals by now - wonder what's happening this month?!

Indeed, it really is all very confusing and demoralising Perhaps it's just lost, or sitting somewhere on a desk, or or or...

The very first time I called, when all I knew that my application had been suspended according to the embassy operator, the lady then said that they were waiting for responses from several agencies, and since then I've not had the smallest snippet of information. We want some approvals...come on all you lovely people working on our applications...spring has arrived and summer will be soon upon us, please give us some good news

[treehugger 23]

I know if they have news they will share it but I found late in the afternoon was the time when the nicest ladies were working call then you will get more info

I've not noticed a difference, they're usually all very polite and as helpful as they can be, but the only information I get is that I'm still in AP. A little more detail would be appreciated Again, I don't condone fraud, and of course security is a priority, but as it's our personal details, they could tell us a little more?

Hello people- my wife got her visa today. I am happy.It has been a long and funny journey but the community on VJ has been resourceful and equally helpful. thanks all.

Congratulations :dance:

Oooh that's looks like a step in the right direction!!! I'm not going to happy dance until your husband actually has his visa though

[treehugger 23]

They should realize that our lives our on hold. I do think immigration should be reformed more then anything. Why do we have to be away from our loved ones and no one can do anything about it? Immigration based visas should be taken more seriously, and I do believe K-1's should have more priority as well. As a female petitioning for her soon to be husband it would only be normal for her to want the wedding in her home country. Anyways, this is just my two cents I am just fed up with how I am being treated. I have even written a letter to the secretary of Consular Affairs, and not to mention my congresswomen doing an inquiry. Even emailed USCIS and they responded for me to call NVC. But, the bottom line is the consulate is holding on to our case and doing some internal processing. Ok I get that they don't want to email me, but some kind of respond is assuring for us waiting. I do have lots of patience, but now the waiting is becoming more and more excruciating.

It seems like when they tell you you are approved do they still have the opportunity not to issue? I just want to be prepared for everything.

Star

I agree. And I think that until one actually has the visa in hand, being told that one is approved is just another step in the process and not the end of it. Technically POE is the end, but you know what I mean...

Here's hoping that you hear good news very soon

Tell me about it
