Keep writing and calling your congressman and senator ask for a 5 minute meeting. You don't want them to send the paperwork back to state dept then you have another problem. I would be thinking lawsuit but that's more money. I'm like you, I have no confidence in this system. Personally I think Obama is trying to create more problems in the immigration system so he can have support for his immigration overhaul and he comes to save the day. Did you see his speech the other day? What possible gain does the US govt get to continually deny us visas?

I sent docs fedex and it was actually cheaper for 3 day delivery that 7 day...

All communication, emails and congressional inquiries etc. gets logged into the system... did the letter say who signed it? I left the one I got a copy of with Thuy so I cant remember if it was a guy from the info team or who..

It ended up being ten days for the postal service delivery. For $13.45, that's not too bad.

No signature, just the consular chief title. Probably outsourced to a Vietnamese worker in their office.

Thanks. But I'm starting to look for a plane ticket to move permanently to Asia... We will turn everything in soon and find out --find out when I should get my plane ticket.

I'm worn out. I'm like Cool Hand Luke when he came back to the third time, just tired.

My wife went in and submitted everything that was asked and waited. She said lots of people got pink, some got white (she said white was a rejection), and some got blue.

We got a blue. It said they would let us know by snail mail.

I guess we are in AP?

I'm not holding my breath. Time to get packing; I've got to move to Asia now.

Still no fat lady singing yet, so dont get in to big of a hurry. I have known many people in AP that got out with the pink. We are keeping our fingers crossed for you. Jerome and Binh
