I am at a complete loss. I sent my DS 230 to my fiance...he signed it and forwarded it via DHL to the embassy...they show receipt of it and according to the state dept they have OK'd the paperwork...but they have not given us an interview date yet. They show receipt of the papers on Oct. 1st....I see other people getting interviews right and left...the state dept said I just need to be patient as it is normal to wait up to a month for an interview date...I just dont understand...what is happening?? Is there anything I can do???

We had our interview on November 18th, 2009 and we were APPROVED!!!

Thank you...sincerely I mean that!! I have been trying to get Smiley here for three years now. First I saved money to send to a lawyer in Jamaica who promised a visa in 6 months...he ran off with 3,000 dollars of my money. Then I saved up money to hire an immigration lawyer here...I paid him 2,000 and he only helped me with the I-129 and then said he would need more money if he were to help me. I have barely any money left so I have been doing packet 3 on my own. VJ has been my lifeline to completing this process. The only thing is, as happy as I am for others who are seeing their dreams come true, it bothers me when I see someone who emailed the ds230 a week after mine and has their date and I cant seem to get one. That sounds really selfish of me...but it is what I am feeling. I pray your husband is soon with you and your children and that he "soon come" home to the US. God bless you and thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and to be a support to me!!

Keep emailing the embassy - Put your KIN# and 1st request, 2nd request, .... in the subject line - it has taken some people several emails to get a date - you are so close now, and almost have it!

So sorry to hear about your lawyer trouble - you can definitely make it through the rest of this on your own with help from the people on here-

That's true. It took me almost a week to get a response via email, but someone recently got one in an hour. You never know.

What they ladies are saying here is right. I emailed them, mailed them and my fiance had to end up filing one right there at the embassy! Just keep pushing and calling. When you email, they seem to respond best to "2nd request". Don't fret. You will get one soon.
