It's that time again!

Well - we got a 221(g) for more paperwork - proof of relationship, etc etc. Typical for New Delhi but still stings. We were hoping we had that figured out....

I'm trying to get the info out to him this weekend so he can hand it in next week.

Thanks for all the well wishes and the great chats!

What a bummer. I'm sure once the consulate gets the info you will get the visa

I am sorry to hear that. What type of proof are they asking for? What are you going to send?

I'm sure I'll forget something off the list but...

#1 An affidavit explaining how we met/our relationship

#2 Notarized letters from both sets of parents saying the approve of the marriage

#3 Engagement ceremony info including where, when, pics, and a list of all attendees including their addresses and phone numbers

#4 general relationship evidence including letters, emails, pics, phone records from before and after the engagement

#5 my SO's voter card and other voter card info

He had #2, #4, and the card from #5 with him at the interveiw but the CO said that he should get the rest and resubmit everything.

We didn't have an engagement ceremony so I'll be collecting even more letters from friends and family stating that they know about our engagement and approve.

So - I'll be busy over the next couple of days. I want to fedex this stuff out as soon as possible.

Sorry it wasn't cut and dried. It will work out soon. For extra and good measure, I'd throw in some phone records and/or chat records. I know when they asked for proof from me I sent them everything I could, didn't care if it took them a month to go through it. The more proof the better, at least that's what I think.

Chin up girl, at least your case is moving and you can do something with it. It'll be over before you know it.

Good luck!

Not that I should be surprised by this but...congressmen don't care if they aren't running for re-election.

I hear ya girl, hang in there I feel good things coming for you.

I'm flip flopping between it'll be ok to holy ####### what will we do.....

GG - thanks for the good thoughts...

A little general advice request please - Direct quote from my SO:

"i asked him what seems to be missing and he said that he is gonna be candid and he feels that we dont have a significant proof of a relationship"

So, I'm writing the affidivit. Like a lot of people, we had some red flags. Ok - a lot of red flags. The big ones I need to address I think are the fact that I only visited once and that it was immediately after my divorce. We consider the official proposal to be when he asked me in person in India to marry him, even though we talked about it for months prior to that. And yes, those conversations were happening after I had separated from my husband but before I had my divorce decree...I want to make this statement sound reasonable and logical but not all schmaltzy, you know. Everytime I try to start and write it I get all teary...I'm such a girl.

Anyone have any ideas about a good mix of pure fact versus and little "it's true love" stuff?

I'm totally paying attention here cuz I want to send Ibrahim things to have at the interview.

We dont have alot of proof. What else is there? We have a marriage license,, we lived together for 2 months and have some pics we took together. I changed my name....what else is there for us?

[~Jess~ 0]

what about chat logs, phone logs..since he left and maybe since the two of you met.....just trying to throw some things out ther....and maybe some letters from your family that they have met him, etc

[catknit 144]

Well - we sent in the following:

a year's worth of phone call records [about 100 pages worth]

sample emails - I think about 5

sample chats - I think about 5 also

postal receipts/greeting cards/letters between us

a letter from the JP who's agreed to marry us

a notarized letter from my dad saying he approves of the relationship and wants us to be together

2 letters [also notarized] from other close friends detailing our relationship

etickets from the trip

some pics

We have literally hundreds of emails we can print and if they are looking for volume - that's what they will get.

I was so mentally prepared to here security/name check AP - not insufficient relationship ap - so that was a blow.

I have a call in with my senator too - I signed off on the consent form a couple weeks ago thinking, again, security AP and that if we were out a couple of months I'd rattle thier cage. I'm hoping his immigration liason is on top of things.

u prob got the emails, chats, telephones, did u add him to your insurances? name chg on SS number, your photos, letters fr people that know u as a couple...yours is little different as he was here to begin with

[~Jackie~ 30]

I got nothing. We dont email each other very much. We only chat maybe twice a week on yahoo messenger. I call him from my pay as I go phone,,no records of that.

It's harder because he WAS here. We dont have months of chats and we dont have airline tickets to prove visits. hmmm now my tummy is in a turmoil

Im so sorry Milo things didnt go like u wished they wd! but actually i think its waaaaaaaay better than AP!!! u never know how long APs are but u know exactly what u want and u can fix it! thats just my opinion and im praying for u both. Hopefully once u send that it wd be it and next thing u know.......... VISA IN HAND
