My husband went to the consulate today for "interview", this case was reaffirmed in Oct. 2009. They took all finger prints, spent 2 minutes, told him it was going to AP and gave him back his passport...WHAT THE HELL!

I called and was actually able to speak with the CO. She said they had about 8 lbs of files to review and needed nothing from us. What can we expect now?

after being denied in 2008 the k1, then filing the cr1 in 2009, my husband had his interview on january 4. they put him on AP, but kept his passport. we had submitted over 11 pounds worth of evidence with the cr1. he had his visa in 30 days. they also requested nothing else from us.

i know another person on here who had a reaffirmed petition, in india, where they did not keep her fiance's passport. he had his visa in 7 weeks.

both of these cases were in new delhi, who seems to be the slowest embassy out of all of them in india. so perhaps yours could be shorter. of course, as we all know AP has no set time limit.

Give Generously, Live Fully, Laugh Often, Love Completely...AND PRAY ALWAYS!!!

He is home!!!

I am wondering if it is because of our age, we are both over 40 (I will be 49). I feel like they are torturing us. We are both concerned because they gave back his visa. should I threaten sueing them for discrimination? I havent seen my husband for nearly 15 months and cant afford a trip now because I have done everything I can think of to bring us into the same country ( I am at present working on a work permit in Canada because I thought I could bring him tied to my work permit. His ties to india are not strong enough. what a joke, US says he is tied to india and Canada says he is not).

I am so frustrated

I shared your frustration. I am too is going through the process. I received a reaffirmed letter for my wife vise, and is now anxiously waiting for the 2nd interview date. Can you tell more details on your husband 2nd interview. Are they asking the same questions on as it were in the first interview. What type of questions are they asking? And it's the same interview officer from teh 1st interview?

samer

did you get the reaffirmation letter from USCIS? if so did it contain a new WAC number.

I have not received the letter myself, I am afraid if I call DOS I might not have the new WAC number.

also I wonder if DOS sends the case direct to the embassy or is it DOS that let us know of the new interview date.

I hope Indianheart can give the details.

thank you,

thank you
