I was in a hurry posting this. Anyway, here's my story:

Had my interview last Oct 28. No documents were asked but I received a white paper (221g) that says "wait until..." We just didn't expect this though We found out that the one triggered this to AP were the notes that the pre-screener left on me. Our case is in congressional expedite now but why is it taking long? I am almost 6months pregnant btw. I just hope it comes very soon.

Thanks Tahoma for pushing me to share

We received a 221g. The consular officer wanted us to submit another I-129 F.

Chinook had the visa in her hand one week after she submitted the document.

It seems that your case is under administrative review. Good luck.

11 working days have passed and still nothing Is it enough time already? We were told to follow-up yesterday but my husband can't get a hold of them. The last update we heard from them was last Tuesday and that our case was, the immigrant visa unit has finished reviewing our case and it is now at the CO's desk but because of the loads they have right now, the CO wasn't able to look at it yet so we are told to call back Thursday (which is yesterday) to find out if there's a result already but can't get in. We will try today. I just hope we will be together for Thanksgiving which is next week.

She doubted what I told her that we first talk in Skype. She said there's no way two strangers can talk in Skype. I said no, it's possible but she said she's been using Skype for a long time already and didn't know about that. I want to explain further but she just proceeded to her next question. So, I think that was it. I also asked my husband how did it all happen. He said that we were both in SkypeMe status that time and unfortunately Skype removed SkypeMe already, maybe that's why she said she has no idea what I was talking about. SkypeMe still exists in Mac and older versions of Skype though. After a week, we found out that our case was sent to FPU, we were so surprised, so my husband contacted the Congress and Senate in his state for help since they've been helping us since USCIS. Then my husband sent an email to FPU expressing his disappointments (it was put nicely) and gave more information about us and sent our websites before and after our wedding since we were able to make a website on our own. We were both into computers so that made it possible. Right there and then, the case was pulled out from FPU, the Congress and Senate was cc-ed in that email also. And it was sent to review to immigrant visa unit and they finalized it. And my husband just talked to the one of the representatives in Embassy, she was very familiar about our case and she didn't even bother to ask the case number, what she had was my husband's name and she was able to pull the information right away. So, previously she said, the case was forwarded to the CO since last week but because of the loads they have, she referred it again to the CO last Nov 14 and said that it is already for final approval by the CO. I hope it comes next week already. And I hope the CO will take time to look at it very soon.

Oh, we figured that it was the pre-screener because when my husband inquired about the status being sent for review, the one who answered told us about the pre-screener's notes. I think that was a mistake on her part to tell that because the next time my husband called, he was told that she cannot disclose any information as to why it was sent for review.

This is really sad for both of us. I went through 6months medication in St Luke's and it even ran through 7months because they won't release the patient right away. During the treatment, my husband visited me because I was really down that time and it was almost one year since we were apart. So he came to visit me to spend our first wedding anniversary together. My case in St Luke's wasn't a bad one. I consulted other pulmonologist but they only consider their own pulmonologists. During my husband's visit, I got pregnant. And I thought all these delays will be all over now, but they did this to us

Thanks Tahoma! I hope the embassy can be very careful who to send files for review.

Called the embassy a while ago. Actually, it was my husband who called first and was told that they have been trying to reach me so I called. I was asked to go back to the US Embassy this Friday, November 25, Window 70. I am thinking this is a second interview. Idk if the same officer but the window I was last time was window 60.

Before all of these, we asked help from the Congress and the Congress got fed up with what happened to us because she's been helping us since USCIS stage, since January. And thankfully, they schedule me right away because the Congress emailed the officer directly, she cannot take it what the embassy were doing to us.

Anyone who has the same experience?

Hope it's a good news waiting to be uncovered on Friday. Good luck and God bless you!
