Interviews in San'a, Yemen

[hk9302010 5]

HK is a guy and his wife is the one applying for the visa. I'm pretty sure she'll be approved. They always take it easy on ladies. I seen 2 ladies get approved when I was at the embassy.

Hi just keeping you all updated my wife got approved today:)) her visa pickup date is 12/4.

I attended the interview with my spouse. (Our interviewer was the same lady as H93.) The Interviewer said we had everything ready and organized, she did not ask my spouse anything only me. It was a really short interview, they only questioned me since my English was well, all they asked from my spouse was her passport/ID.

*my thoughts to you all is have everything organized/up to date, have a bunch western union receipts, make sure you LABEL names, dates, and locations on your wedding photos and other pics, have proof that you have something connected to the states job,bills, receipts. Make sure u renew police certif. every 6months.

for me i printed out just the confirmation cuz it says to take it with me to the interview which i did and the embassy should have the application already in their system they dont need the print out. since the begining of this process i have been the one doing all the paper work for my husband and from my experience i am just saying thats the only thing needed .however if u think thats not enoughu should check to see what else u need

Congrats on your wife's approval! So did they give her a slip saying to come back on that day to pick up the visa? My fiancé is still waiting to get his passport back with the visa in it. He didn't mention that they gave him any slip of paper saying when to come back. They said they will call him when ready. It has been over 2 weeks, and the CEAC site says "Ready - Issued". It also says that if he doesn't hear within 10 days, to contact the Embassy. We have both tried to contact them, and no reply, just the generic response to the message you send. Getting extremely frustrated again, as my fiancé needs to return to work in another country but can't because they are holding his passport. Not sure what to do about this... thinking about contacting my Congressman again as every time I have contacted him and he checks into the case, things seem to start moving.

Didn't you say your husband has a friend that works in the embassy? Was he able to help you guys?

For those of you who went to the interview and had something missing..

After you sent in what they asked for, how do you know if it was accepted?

Hey guys! Asaalamalakum!

So Im new to this website but ive been reading and keeping up with all your posts for months. So my husbands interview is on November 20, and after reading some of yall posts i started getting concerned about something, when it said you should have something tying you back to America the only thing i can think of is my college school records from jus last year because i didnt work and i didnt pay any bills since i lived with my parents while away from my husabnd. So plz help me on that im really nervous and also he never sent me any money so i was finiancially supported by my parents because he doesnt make a lot and he was supporting his father and brothers and sisters yall kno how it is in Yemen so i have no reciepts for like Western Union or Money Gram do u think that will affect our approval or it not really? Also im a natural born U.S. citizen and i jus came bak to Yemen to stay with my husband ive been here for five months. I will update you guys on how our interview goes soon inshallah kair! And i appreciate any and all help and ill be glad to answer any questions!

H93 had an appointment Oct 28, and she said the lady who interviewed her and husband said that it's a requirement for ppl who have been in Yemen a year or over. Now I don't know if that is really %100 true but you should take anything that ties you back to the us just in case they ask. Which is what I'm gonna do, and inshallah Khair for all of us November appointments!

My husbands app is tomorrow, so I'm very nervous and anxious but I have faith in Allah and whatever is meant to happen will.

[Faithalba 1]

Yes which is why i mentioned that ive only been here for five months. Thanks anyways and inshallah ur husband gets approved tomorrow! Goodluck!

[RAli33 7]

Inshallah thx!

And I've only been her for almost 9 months

But you never know what proof/papers they might ask.

So take something just in case, IMO

I dnt think u have to worry about the money thing because if u lived with ur parents the interviwer would mostly assume they are the ones that are

supporting you financialy. and you have not been in yemen to long for them to ask for anythin . when i went with my husband to the interview they asked when i came to yemen and they didnt say anything and i came to yemen in september of2012 and our appointment was on may2013 so i was here for 9 months . and im still here but leaving this month inshallah
