UGH! Stop. At the risk of being flamed by everyone, and being a visajourney member myself, I still have to ask if you guys could keep this stuff offline and off the forum? This can't be the only way y

I can only imagine the dread that April and May filers must be thinking. The same things we did when we saw February people waiting 200 days. The denial... "Oh, surely they will catch up by us?" or th

In honor of the amazing super fast VSC rep holding our case hostage, I've written a poem. It is to the tune of "You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch". I call it, "Ode to Mister Sloth". You're a slow one,

OMG! HIS VISA WAS DENIED!!! I am so upset right now I can barely concentrate! They wanted more proof of our relationship. It didn't matter that there was 8 months of Skype conversations or that I LIVED with him in Macedonia for 4 straight months, had a dozen pictures of us together and with his family or the confirmation of our planned wedding....she questioned why we didn't have "phone" conversations and why we didn't get married in Macedonia. WTH!!!??? First of all I was in Afghanistan and, until 2 weeks ago, was with him in Macedonia. Second, who wants to get married in Macedonia! That doesn't even make sense.

Oh and she asked why he didn't work in Macedonia when he came back from Afghanistan.

I am now gathering up every SINGLE piece of documentation I can find...ALL emails, Facebook posts, etc. To be honest, I don't even know what else to send. :( Just waiting for my attorney to come in his office so he can tell me what to do. Who knows how much longer it is going to be before we get another interview scheduled. :( Thanksgiving is ruined...I am sure i am going to have to reschedule our wedding now. So now...if I can quit crying...I can get this done.

I so hope I don't scare anyone with this, but I wanted to share. DON'T LEAVE ANYTHING OUT!!! My attorney and I both thought we had enough.

What a horrible day...month...year. I don't wish this experience on anyone. How can a person just sit in an office and with the swipe of a pen, determine your entire life. Nothing about this or this process is right. I have spent the last 10 years of my life, six of them in the military, and the last four in Iraq and Afghanistan, on and off, to protect our freedoms and pursuit of happiness and this is how MY OWN COUNTRY thanks me. I am just totally sad and angry right now.

Sorry about the rant. :(

I haven't been on here in a long time and just wanted to check again about how everyone is moving along, but I am at a loss of words now that I read your comment, Pam! I am so so sorry to hear about this nightmare you're having to go through! And I absolutely agree with you, it is heartbreaking how a person behind a glass window doing their dull routine will decide about your life and your relationship within a couple of minutes. The good part is that you weren't denied and have a second chance. As somebody else pointed out, people are usually approved at the second interview. Make sure that your fiancé brings every little piece of evidence you have with him to the interview, and keep the faith!! YOU WILL BE APPROVED EVENTUALLY!!! (L)

Oh no...I feel so bad that I have gotten everyone so worried! :( I really think this is an isolated case. Or should I say just isolated to this embassy. My fiancee said he was talking with people that were waiting with him and they were saying that they were there for the 2nd and 3rd time. Not all for K-1's but still. I guess Skopje is just a difficult embassy. Lucky us!!!! lol

New interview date...November 27th. This one is scheduled at 11:00 am. I am thinking, optimistically of course, that because they kept all his original documents and this interview is later, they plan to give him the VISA as long as everything looks legitimate. And he is more aggressive. This is me being hopeful...because, well...it's all I have right now.

PLEASE DON'T THE REST OF YOU WORRY!!! Just go in with confidence, express how much you love your fiancee and everything will be fine!!!

There are some embassy reviews I read about the embassy in Nicaragua. They seemed to be pretty good over the years ... a few minor snags here and there but overall you get very good service there.

Milan & Pam, everything will be fine, just a little bit longer.

My interview is on 26.11., 11:00 h.

Cant wait. Im still stressing out every now and then how it will go, but our embassy is pretty mellow so Im hoping it will stay that way for my interview as well :)

This week I will be printing and filing all our mails, logs etc.as proof of relationship to bring with me to the interview. A lot of Croats tell me their proof wasnt even looked at, but I still want to be prepared good.

Congrats to Marchies already in US :)
