HCMC Interview roll call

[ScottThuy 140]

It is a hopeful signs that your case is active and ongoing..relax with the comfort that some good news coming soon!!!

they actually called her manager today at work to ask if I was lecturing at the university when we met... American guy this time... so IMO that means the CO is working it now not just the clerks... unreal the amount of time they are spending only to find out that the relationship is REAL...

Spoke to DOS today, our case is open and being reviewed now

Frank

[ScottThuy 140]

Great news... based on the calls last year.. the cases were finished 1 week after the call... so we should know by Tuesday... Dont be surprised if you get those phone calls tonight or Monday night... or they may send an investigator to where she lives to ask around about you guys like they did Linda's hubby.

Looks like they are doing what ME thought and trying to clean house before the new CG comes to the consulate... we could have visas early next month...

I wonder if Bob or Terry or Ray have heard anything... I PM'd Bob but never heard back...

When I called today they said still nothing new since July 8 when they sent me an email... they keep telling me to try again the next day ever since we got the phone calls

[JimVaPhuong 4,863]

I'm sweating bullets for you, Scott! I'm really hoping for the best, but however it turns out at least you'll finally end the suspense and get some closure.

[ScottThuy 140]

We know that based on past performance of HCMC we could be waiting another year or more due to someone making a bad decision on our case... as you said.. at least it will finally be a decision and then we can either refile or be together next month...

[WeatherEmperor 21]

I'm sweating bullets for you, Scott! I'm really hoping for the best, but however it turns out at least you'll finally end the suspense and get some closure.

I agree. I hope nothing but the best for you and Thuy. Good luck brother

[Teacher Mark 53]

I was just wondering if you'd heard anything Scott. Good luck!

In high school, AP was "advanced placement." Here, it stands for "almost pointless."

The beneficiary's file

is now pending such review by a consular officer. Case files and

additional information are prepared for review based on a first-come,

first-reviewed policy. Our office will notify the beneficiary by mail

once the review is completed.

Due to the large number of cases to be reviewed and the need to be fair

to each applicant, we do not review cases out of sequence except when

there is an urgent need to do so. Please be assured that the

application and supporting information will be given every consideration

consistent with U.S. law and regulations.

same copy paste response that those VN clerks will give when anyone emails a status request and it was the same my congressman was provided yesterday...

AP is an all encompassing umbrella when one calls DoS or NVC.. anything being done on the case is considered AP... If a case is denied and returned to USCIS it is also considered AP when one calls to inquire.... a far to vague label for the staus of a case IMO... but getting any real response or info would be nice IMO...

one new thing they added to the response to my congressman was that we were in AP to validate that our relationship was valid... funny thing that they did not ask for any proof of bonafide when we got the blue slips... but I did in fact load them up with a bunch of evidence of bonafide which they returned to her in May saying it had been reviewed... I truly think these clerks (not and actual CO) answering emails have no clue as to what is going on with the case... they just regurgitate a canned response to any case that has gone beyond the interview... inappropriate on so many levels...

Scott, the sad thing is that even people who "know what they are doing" (as in what to submit and how to find out) like us are getting screwed over by the process. Now, for people who have no idea and who just fill out forms, they've got no chance. This isn't democracy; it's lunacy.

When it's all said and done, no matter what happens to my wife's visa, I'd like to create a document that charges that entire consulate staff (immigrant visa section) with fraud. Fraud for using tax dollars and pretending to do a good job and a dozen of other charges. And I want to mass-mail it to the NVC and all the addresses I can find, even offices in D.C. And I want it get it out to the major papers also. I'm going shake the hornet's nest to see what falls out. I want most of them fired and relocated and so on. Honestly, I'll do it.

This should help the system evolve into what it needs to be but I dont think it goes far enough... http://www.entrylaw.com/images/Tran_Complaint_signed_.pdf

This is the only forum I've ever been to where 'regular' members can't edit their own posts unless nobody else has posted after them. This would have been very helpful when this thread was first started! It would have kept the thread down to a digestible size.
