If I'm still stuck here on Friday I'll come be a buddy on the line outside if you want.

I actually went there today, I know sad. I was on the phone to John and as I have heard they can monitor telephone calls I made him say our LND number whilst I recited our full names and dobs.

But no luck.

No news unfortunately though John did get told off by DOS for calling too much. We call twice a day, once when they open and the second after the UK closes.

Lets just say I had a small melt down when he told me.

Lost for words

Did they say what the AP was for? I know DoS freaked me out by using that term while we were waiting for Packet 3 to go out but when she explained it was more paperwork processing backlog rather than security checks.

hi everyone

24th March 2009 - my interview date!!!!

YAY

Welcome and congratulations

I went to college in NY early 90's my dad stopped his part of the financial support so I could no longer maintain my enrolment, the college did what they had to do and reported I was no longer a student, meaning I was on an overstay and I got a letter to report to the office in Buffalo. They issued me an EAD and I was given a time frame to leave the country. I left well within the time frame. But it turns out at that meeting was actually deportation proceedings and I was actually officially arrested. Call me naive and stupid I am calling myself a lot worse.

I told the lawyer what happened but when they filled out the forms the omitted the above part from the documentation.

The Embassy called me today and asked me questions re the above and said my credibility had now been called into question, I tried to explain it best I could, but it is over 15 years ago and my memory of the details is not great, I'd forgotten I had been finger printed until this moment in time.

So now they are requesting the supporting documentation from Washington and that could take a couple of weeks. In the mean time they have kept my passport. I am going to return to Edinburgh tomorrow and wait, I guess.

I can't stop crying, I am so scared as to what this means.

sorry to hear that

They told me at the interview I was approved pending the supply of my Australian Police Certificate. Congratulations and welcome to America, but now they are taking back my approval, John has been in touch with the Lawyer and his Congressman and both are now contacting the US Ambassador. They think the US Embassy has messed up, they should never said approved pending the police certificate and then decide to put me into AP, the lawyer is very confident, but who knows, I'm too scared to put my faith in anything cause I'm not sure how long I can keep on taking the hits.

I'm heading back to Edinburgh in the morning, I have been down here since Tuesday, mind you I can't stop crying. And ironically I am always the positive one but I can't be now, John is now in that role.
