Embassy denied visa due to expiration

[albkos 1]

My fiance went to his orginal visa interview on March 4,2008. He was issued a 221g due to not having a Kosovo police certificate and they wanted more proof of relationship.

He still has not received the police certificate and I continually contacted the embassy for extentsions. This last time I contacted them they told me he needs to schedule an appointment and bring more proof of relationship and explain why he has not received the police certificate.

We called and he was scheduled for today. He was told the peition is denied due to expiration. I don't have more details yet from him just an email early this morning telling me this.....

I have emailed the embassy for an explanation and to ask them to review the petition and that I asked for an extenstion to the petition previously.

This whole thing has been a mess due to this police certificate. He can't force them to give it to him. We have called everyone in that goverment but they all say there is nothing they can do.....

What do I have to do now? What are my options at this point. Do I contact my senator or congressman?

Thanks!!!!!!

That is weird. Most embassies, as long as the petition is 'in progress' will extend the expiration date. Did you try to call them?

Yes it weird, the consulate has the right to extend it if you explained to them what happened.

I have emails from them stating all the extentions and telling him to schedule another interview. They told him that they told me in emails and when I called to schedule the interview that the petition is expired and has been expired...They have never said such thing. They did not even look at the information that he brought with him.

Why would they schedule and interview or allow someone to schedule an interview with an expired petition or even allowe them in the embassy with an expired petition.

I already sent them an email this morning....I am going to send another one tonight and attach all the copies of the emails....Are they really that stupid and it gets me mad that they are saying they did all of these things.

The same embassy is pulling the same thing with Playnice.

Any advice would be great......

Mine didn't. They let it expire and sent it back too.

What do they get out of doing this? I have contacted my Senator and I sent a letter to the embassy by post. They replied to my email asking for an explanation. They just said.....I need to refile like they told me before.

I read your story.....sounds like mine......

That sucks, so now you get to redo everything including paying the fees all over again and all the embassy staff had to do was extend the date. duh
