STUCK @ NVC for AP

[Badgerella 5]

and there were questions like when and how was the last time they had made love, this is just an example

Also, no matter how hard I try, I can't wrap my head around this. For the life of me, I can't imagine any CO asking this type of a question, under any circumstances. My whatever common sense says that this particular question was added to the whole story either by your sister, or you, for.. a shocking purpose.

I'll be very, very surprised if I'm wrong.

I disagree. This is not uncommon at all if the interview doubts the validity of a relationship. They can and will ask all kinds of intimate details to assure you are telling the truth. Typically the husband and wife are put in separate rooms and asked the same questions. Then the answers are compared. This was in the movie 'Green Card' and is a real phenomenon.

However if your relationship is legit no matter how personal the questions may be you should be able to answer them.

Yes my sister's petition spent 50 days stuck on AP at NVC. ( my petition was stuck for 35 days, and 30 the first time I filed in2007)

As you well know there are two types odf set questions for visas K-1 , and K-3 or marriage visa, my sister and her fiance were asked the second one,eventhough they are not married, the reason to this I assume is to what you say about relatives knowing other thru family references, and my sister going out with my brother in is one reason, second reason is age difference. Now a little info about my sister, she was married twice before, but was divorced a long time ago, and of course it would raise a red flag the fact that they met last yr, fell in love and then filled the petitions, my sister's last divorce was around 1990, and since them she is been involved in other relationships, but nothing that ended upin a marriage, the fact that there is distance between them, is the reason to had filled the petition.

Now about the questioning, yes they were asked questions about initmacy, when they had thier first encounter, when theyhad their last, what kind of underwear they both use, if there is any scars, or beauty marks intheir bodies, and if there is any partuclar one in a private area. About jail, too, if she had been in jailed before, this question was asked becuase of the existence of another woman name the same as her, (that woman was my first wife),also she was asked questions about both of her ex husbands, their criminal history, at the same time her boyfriend was asked about this and he knew about it. Al of this had to come out of the AP at NVC, since my sister did not about her ex husbands problems with the law, but had no idea about my first esx wife, (even me had noidea about this). Also her financial status was questioned, you all know that you don't say anything about your financial situation on any of the documents that are needed for the petition, and at the interview they knew about this, mysister and her fiance were prepared to answer all the questions since their relationship is a real one, this couple is one that tell each other verything about thier lives, hide nothing , they really know each other a lot, but me personally never expected the visa to be denied.

Hopefully this can help clarify certains things, but again my purpose of telling all of this is not to scare anyone stuck at AP / NVC, but prepared for questioning in case they feel is necessary.

This is for future refrence in case someone goes thru something similar.

I didn't know there were two sets of questions, since a CO can, technically, ask whatever they want and many times they ask pretty much nothing, or something pretty random.

Just to clear up the financial part, or at least to apply what I learned during our Embassy visit - when you come in, you give them the required documents. During your wait, the assigned CO goes through any and all submitted papers and prepares, amongst other things, on what is presented. Therefore, it is a pretty common question that they ask about financial situation - at the Embassy level, an Affidavit, is submitted and they can, also, ask for more income proof. My fiance was, during my interview, asked about the company he works for. It was a very short question and the answer consisted of just one single line, but the CO really did 'pull it' from the information we submitted right there.

As it was earlier suggested, your sister should try to contact the Embassy ASAP and make sure her case doesn't get returned to the USCIS.

Yes she is in the process of doing that, but I have no update info yet, About the financial situatioN : Yes I know you submitt things like affidavit of support, copies of your most recent income tax, copies of your pay stubs and company employment letter,but how would they know that your situation is critical, she owes a good amount on credit cards, and her credit score had gotten very low since she is not paying for them, this is something they can get thru a credit check, but no with any documents you supply......

There is one VJ member who is very active on the Thailand threads (daboyz, you have probably seen his posts here and there on VJ). He recently did a CR1 visa for his wife in Thailand. At her interview (this was in March, I think) the CO pulled up financial information about Scott (daboyz) that was not part of his normal Affidavit of Support filing. He filed I-864 (not I-134) since it was a CR1 filing. He had included tax returns, paystubs, etc. But they confronted his wife with the fact that he had a previous IRS lien for which he had worked out a payment plan with the IRS. They were challenging whether he really was over the poverty thresholds due to that lien. In the end he was able to satisfy them, and get the visa. His wife is now with him in Dallas - happy ending to the story.

See http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...t&p=2677974 for the beginning of his odyssey in getting this resolved.

Note that Scott did not have an AP@NVC situation. What happened apparently was that BKK Embassy was able to dig deeper into his financial background and did not merely accept the paperwork he submitted for his Affidavit of Support.

It's entirely possible that this is what happened to your sister too. It may not have been NVC that pulled this info, it may have been the Consulate.

After all, they do have her social security number and DOB, that's all they need to run a credit report. Takes 2 minutes to run one against Equifax, etc.

If she has a bad credit history I can see that this may raise eyebrows.

Good luck - I hope she can resolve her situation. Is she a member on VJ? If not, perhaps she should consider getting some specific advice here on how to proceed. There are people here like pushbrk that may be able to help her.

Yes she is eventhought shehad spent very little time here in the forums, due to the fact that she works two jobs, her name in here is MARY Y LEO, hopefully she can do something about it, if not she is already getting info about getting married and start a new process, I'll keep yu update it.

Well, remember they will ask for your latest Income Tax, and employment letter, if you are unemployed , then they will proably ask you about your financial situations like savings, own properties. Jus to prove your solvency....
