Which screen-reader program do you use? (Just curious. I'm a web designer, among other things, so I like to know what people are using.)

I found that most people use the timeline in their signatures for quick reference to others. That may be the best option for you. Many of these ordeals are not optins in the timeline. you would just add it in the bottom in the timeline, but again. The signature including would be fine.

The Consulate officer chose 3 out of 90 photos presented at time of interview. They said in report I received 5 months later was they only saw 8 people in attendance of our ceremony? over 80+ guests attended our ceremony and I sent other photos to NSC during review showing many many other guest in the background along with more documents which overturned the consulate officer findings. I wore my work clothes while I was in Vietnam for 14 days so, they viewed the photos of Phuong and I at 30 different landmarks in Vietnam in my same work clothes daily duh.. my fault, Consulate officer saw this as I was in Vietnam only two days. I have about 8 sets of same style and color.. and the final was my friend who is a Vietnamese American "as a favor to me" in June 2004 I'd asked him to get a airplane ticket for me while he was in ChinaTown and I was home sick. I've known my buddy for over 10 years. Plus during the time of My Fiancee interview there were scams of fraud marriages in the next county. This is why today I don't blame the consulate officers, Visa Chief for their decision because I didn't know anything until months later. I did not understand at the time they denied our petition.

Thanks for helping me get my timeline squared away! I think I'll be able to help others because I think IMBRA Law will create some denied petitions and those people will want to know what to expect to happen next. I found no information NONE on returned petitions and /or procedures.

Thanks Again you are wonderful!

Martindart,

No problem. I was glad to help. That is what we are all on here for, right? To help and support one another. I do wish you all the best. It sounds like you have had quite an ordeal. Its amazing how the government can interpret things as they wish and make things so complicated sometimes. All we can do is be patient...and believe me, I keep having to remind myself of that. I just want my baby here so much. I know you feel the same.

Your right, we dont know much about the denials. Any information on that I am sure someone could benefit from.

Good luck.

S.

Martindart,

Did you show photos with your fiancee wearing a wedding dress during the Engagement Ceremony? If so did they give you any problems or questions?

Thanks,

Mike

No wedding dress. She changed her dress 4 or 5 times (she wanted to do) The Engagement Ceremony was something she wanted to do. She had invited many guest family and friends (about 90 people showed up)

During her interview July 19, 2005 she made available all photos about 80 photos yet, the consulate officer chose only 3 of them... why they chose those three? I'll never know. I was back home and she did her interview without me being there. "you won't get in to" I thought everything was fine until they dropped the news on me through her.

We are not Married. I think the ceremony is a custom for her like a wedding shower we have here in The US.
