My experience from the Embassy of Albania

[Sabrina81 2]

I am going crazy and just want to cry. I just flew home from Albania,and we still dont know. I have never seen a Embassy do things this way. He had his interview and they said he had everything but we had so much proof of marriage they need time to look over and would give him a call. Well they called him and wanted us both to come in for another interview the next Monday. Said we needed to bring nothing. Well we went. They made me go first then had me wait outside and he come in. They asked me over a hundred questions. Him too. Well he finally came out and I was sick too my stomach wanting to know if we were denied or approved. He said we still don't know yet. They need a document... Couldn't they told us this the Wednesday before so we could have brought to the interview... What game are they playing. They want my brothers taxes. We gave them the original. They said it was missing from my copy i gave at interview. I said I gave the original to the uscis. All I can give is a copy.They don't really want it because they didn't keep the Aos packet at all. They gave all back at end of interview. If they really want it they would have kept mine. They are just being plain mean. So now we have to mail it to them instead of bring it in. I really dont understand any of this at all. I flew home Monday by myself not knowing if my husband is getting visa. whats wrong with these people.I am so lost and sad.

They aren't being mean they are doing their job. The USCIS does not want originals of anything, they want copies. If you were to read the guides they give you they tell you to bring the originals or certified copies of some documents WITH copies(marriage certificate, birth certificate) at the interview. They gave you back the originals so you could make a copy for their records. Give them what they want and stop thinking you are a victim. The longer you delay giving them what they will will delay the visa.

I'm sorry this is happening. I don't understand why they interviewed you. I am not required to attend my husband's interview, in fact, the embassy would not even let me in if I did try to go. But then his interview will be in Skopje. I hope you can sort out all the problems.

The separate grilling = a Stokes interview. There were or still are doubts about the bona fide nature of your relationship.
