Sooo....

They responded back EARLY this morning and stated that his interview is scheduled for September 1,2011 @ 7:30am. YAAAY!! :dance: :dance:

They also said that if he supplied all the docs that they requested that he would RECEIVE HIS VISA the SAME DAY!! :dance: :dance: :star:

Send an email back and ask if you can Fed_ex the documents and the medical to them with the passport and have them issue the VISA and mail it back to you .. or if he is local and close drop of the documents with a post paid DHL or Fed Ex envelope.. they don't need to interview him again .. find out who the chief of consular section is and address it to him/her and the consular section folks you have already been talking to. There is no reason to hold you up another month and a half the purpose of the interview is to again verify the relationship status, that has been done with the I601 waiver approval already.

Also you should not have to pay another VISA application fee if it has already been paid, call the 202 number and ask for help with that.

@ Sergi9: Yeah well I disputed the fee but they said that since the last time we was there was over a year ago (May 2010) that we had to pay the fee again. Also some of the documents expired such as the medical exam and police certificates. Either way he still has to travel to Barbados to conduct the new medical exam. :thumbs:

This is an Immigrant VISA not a non-immigrant the IV fee should only be paid ONCE. This was asked last week in a chat with an immigration attorney here is the link:
