there are many CSR's there that have no clue what they are talking about... expect to get a phone call late at night or hear that they did a visit to the home in VN... the case is likely undergoing investigation.. ater that is done then the results are reviewed and they make a decision.. in our case the decision was to tell us go ahead and bring the updated docs in to get the pink... since they only asked for a cosponsor from you .. it shouldnt be much longer..

My wife had her interview November 9, 2009. After the interview she received blue asking for additional papers. We brought everything they requested to the Consulate on November 13,2009 and was told to go home and wait for a letter. Well, its been 10 months....no letter, no phone call, no investigaters. I really don't know what their major malfunction is? Any ideas?

Duyen and I are in the same boat, her interview was sept 22, 09. Given blue for notarized timeline, gave them the timeline 30 days later, got another blue stating our case needed additional processing. No investigation for us either. I guess it could be they dont have any issue with VN side and are checking US side for who knows what. Other than that I have zero clue why its draging out like this. 10-11 months is plenty long to do what they need to do in IMO.

Have your congressman or senator do an inquiry soon noting the time at the consulate.. Bennett is not there at the moment and the acting `section chief may get the ball rolling...

Did that Scott, Congressman sent me a copy of the letter the consulate sent to him dated Sept. 8th, same canned response I get about how busy they are. It had Charles E.Bennetts name stamped on the sig line but not signed. Guess their saving some money by using up his letterhead??

I just got the same canned response from Charles. They dared to include my e-mail inquiries & their canned responses as actions taken. My take is that requests from our congressperson does very little. Yes, if an entry into the computer makes any difference, then, yes, it's something.

Mine was dated the 14th with Sarah Bellman's name at the end.. he may have still been there on the 8th..

The noted that responding to your emails was action taken? #######?

Mine is dated September 13th, with Charles E. Bennett, Consular Section Chief.

It's canned, so the name means very little.
