When I was talking to Thuy this morning she said the following which threw me for a loop..

I received a phone call with a HCMC # today... I think the consulate... the woman says have you gone to the US yet? she said no.. the woman says she must come to HCMC the first week of sept, next week .. Then she says that the final vaccination is due next month... Until the word vaccination hit me, I was elated.. but then I realized it was only the last round of vaccines and had nothing to do with the final approval from the consulate...

Pending means waiting for someone to pick up the folder and go through it to do whatever investigation is needed.

What do you guys think of this?

I want to send the HCMC monkeys an email every day. And I want to quote them saying that they must reply to each of my requests.

It is my understanding that they have to record every communication, so I want that list to grow every day. The longer our case is in "jail," the longer the list grows.

Our case is still at the consulate. I met with my congressional rep on Friday. She's been making inquiries to the consulate for me for some time now. Brought her up to speed on our case and shes going to resend some dox for us and follow up with a phone call. Said she will get back to me next week.

Coolhand, like Scott said, I wouldnt provoke the consulate by emailing them like that. I email them then I follow up after they reply, it amounts to about 2 emails from me and 2 from them a month. Duyen has been going to window B once a month with both of our previous months phone records and chat logs. I hope some of us in AP can add some good news soon.

What if I start writing love emails to them?

I'm thinking of something like this:

Dear Darling,

It's been sooo long since you've held my paperwork in your hands. I miss you so.

Could you please tell me what's in your heart? Do you approve or not? Are you there?

Frank, this could be some of your problems. Every time you submit more evidence your file then the time starts over, and this can cause delays. I admire your determination, and I dont blame you, because with everything you are submitting if they try to deny you for lack of proving an ongoing relationship then you will be in the same situation I was in and easily able to prove that they knowingly lied in your denial letter. I just wanted to bring this point up, after all you are the one that has to decide what to or not to do, but it could be one of the reasons you have been in ap for so long. Jeorme

The last I was there the lady said it didnt make it take any longer.. not surprised if she lied to me... its OK for them to lie... or so they think... They Lied to Thuys mom when they called her... straight up lie about who they were and why they called.

Which is more frustrating.. not having them do anything day after day.. or getting told , "I see they are working on the case as of today.. I see they entered into the system but cant tell what they did" ugh....

Hang in there, Scott. It will end eventually. (F)

I think it might be a good time to get my congressman to rattle the monkey's cage once more to see if anything happens. This way, at least new head monkey gets questioned about it. My luck, it's just going to be the outsourced rice-eater who gets the request and then presses a button to send out a canned response. And then my congressman has to mail it to me.

Charles E Bennet is the one that responded each time to my congressman.. He is the Consular Section Chief. He does use some copy paste verbage in his responses.. At the very least its another entry in the case file...
