Customer service says we must surrender this visa, apply for an extension and apply for a new visa!? That is unless we can use this one in time. Did I mention we have a 6 month old, I don't think we're going to make it. From what I read, the average time is around 6 months. Is there any standard about giving reasonable time? How is someone supposed to plan and travel in 4 days.

Sorry but you have to be a bit more specific about what you are asking?

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!

Since we had our son during the process, they held my fiancees' visa until we were issued a CRBA for our son. It took a little time to get the birth cert on NSO paper since he was a new born. She had her medical shortly after our son was born. As we are to understand the medical is good for 6 months. Which is why she was given an expiration of 2/3/2009. So I need to find something that gives me a minimum amount of time or a way to get an extension of time so that she can come here.

You should be able to go to the embassy had request a new visa. Obviously you have a reason.

Yes, just have the Embassy correct this. Looks like a mistake. Worst case, you'll need a new medical.

I know it is worthless to argue about fair and unfair when it comes to visas but the delays have been because of them and all hoops that we have had to jump through for them. Medical delay for cultured sputum test ( came back negative ), lost 3 months there. They held her visa awaiting CRBA for our son, lost over a month there. They ( by mistake ) requested HK clearance, took a month to clear that. And now they give us an unusable visa? You say worst case is to re-take medical? I am solely supporting myself and my family. Another plane ticket to Manila, costs for medical, application for replacement visa, living expenses, not to mention all the time lost ( which is the real issue I have ). I am watching my son grow up ( without a dad ) through pictures, he is 6 months now. My poor fiancee has to deal with these delays and rejections, I hate to see her so depressed and sad. I just don't find this acceptable, there has to be a better solution somewhere.

Actually, no, there doesn't have to be a better solution somewhere. It is what it is.

If you are not positive of your statements, maybe you should not say anything. No advice is better than bad advice.

I think it's important people have accurate information from which they can set or have appropriate expectations. Since there actually isn't a better solution than what you already know about, it's unproductive to insist there is. It is what it is. Your best bet is to deal with it as already advised. Either travel by tomorrow or get to USEM and effect the available remedy.
