Approved - one problem

[Shanec86 0]

Hey guys,

I just want to say thanks for all your help. I had my appointment yesterday and it went well and pretty fast too. I was only there for about two hours tops. I was told I have been approved but there is one minor problem.

Apparently I needed proof of my fiancee's father's citizenship, a copy of his passport or birth certificate (to go with the affidavit of support he did for me). I never saw this anywhere and looking over my things now I still can't see it. Have I missed this or is it not asked for anywhere? Anyway, the counsular officer just said I have to get them to fax it to them along with a cover note quoting my case number and name and as soon as they recieve it they will process my visa and get it sent to me. So not a big problem at all I'm just surprised as I completly missed that, as did my partner. Is this a common thing people miss or was I just stupid and overlooked it?

Thanks for your help!

It is a common thing for the joint sponsor in the I864. Says right so in the instructions.

Not sure about the I-134.

Congrats on the interview though!

I don't think you missed anything. The instructions from the embassy in London for the I-134 only say that a statement is needed about the sponsor's status in the US. They don't say that evidence is needed to prove their status. However, many other consulates do require this evidence.

I wouldn't be too bothered by this. Get them the documents they ask for and you should be ok. There are some consulates where this sort of shuffle is very common. They give you a 221(g) denial notice, which essentially means "you didn't give us all of the documentation we require", and provide a list of documents on the notice that they never previously asked for.

Hi guys,

Ok that makes me feel better that I didn't miss it. Her father did write a statement saying he is a us citizen and everything else and had it notarized.

I was given the 221(g) JimVaPhuong, and it wont be a problem. Just annoying as they never asked for it but oh well.

Florianns Man, I can do a timeline sometime soon. Not too sure on the exact dates filed I can find out from my fiancee I believe it was sometime in September 2009. It would of gone alot faster but I messed up when I recieved package three which delayed everything by a good 5 weeks. So I'd say it took just over 6 months total but bcause of a mistake I made (sent in one of the wrong doccuments) it was delayed by about 5 weeks so it should of taken just over 5 months.

Thanks for all the congrats! And maybe some admin could note this somewhere that now they're asking for this at the us embassy in London, so nobody else has this problem.

Hi guys,

So my fianceé's father faxed the required doccuments on wednesday the 14th of April (the day after the interview) and I keep checking my delivery tracking and it's still not been sent. Anyone have any idea how long these things take? I was told by the consular officer that it's nothing to worry about and once they recieve it the visa will be on it's way. I guess there's no other way to check and nothing to do but wait? Is it possible to call them to check they recieved the fax and everything?

Thanks for your help!
