Whats the steps after Interview denial at Embassy

[dwheels76 5,468]

Okay I have heard a lot and thought I would get the low down on procedures after a denial.

1. How do you know when your petition leaves embassy

2. How do you get a diplomatic pouch number?

3. Can I the individual track my case myself? Or do this pouch #'s only go to my congreSman or senator?

4. How long does a case usually stay at embassy before sent back?

5. Where does it go? Like NVC, DOS than USCIS? Or straight to USCIS?

6. I have heard of an expedite is this true to get through processing to get reaffirmed or NOIR under 6 months?

Debbie you don't know when it will leave the embassy. They will start lying to you from the minute it is denied until it finally reaches back to NVC, then in about a day or 2 NVC will forward it back to the USCIS office that approved your case. Basically my husband was denied on October 5, 2011 and they did not send the case back to NVC until December 28, 2011 and NVC forwarded it back to USCIS on December 31, 2011 and they logged it back in on January 4, 2012. My husband did not get anything but a letter saying why he was refused and that we had to wait until it was returned to USCIS to inquiry about it. Emailed and even tried to call the Embassy in Nigeria but they kept telling me to wait until I hear from USCIS, because I was trying to get the case to stay in Lagos. Tell your friend to inquiry about their case, see if they can get in touch with their Senator or Congressman or even State Repsentative and see if they can get the case to stay their so they can fight better. Because if it returns here to the states USCIS going to put it on the back burner and get to it when they want too. It took from January 2012 to August 2012 for them to get in touch with me about an NOIR(now mind you I was in Naija since June 29 celebrating our 2 year anniversary). So I had to come back before my vacation time was up on September 16. I returned on August 19 and that gave me less than 2 weeks to dispute the NOIR.

Are they eligible for the waiver?

Are they eligible for the waiver?

Waiver for what? This isn't any 601 issue or anything. A denial at interview and I am just finding out for a friend what happens after. How to keep it at the embassy until the USC can make it there and just all what happens.

You don't know if you are NOIR and get to find out the exact reasons for denial and present evidence. Or a reaffirm where you may or may not find out why (usually no) and may or may not get to present anything at interview.

As to when it leaves and how long it stays.....ALL petitions sent back due to revocation recommendations travel from one country to another once they are picked up from your particular Embassy. I do not know the country pattern they follow, so its hard to say how long this part will take. DOS CAN tell you the date it left, but most likely it isn't on a direct flight to NVC from that date. As anxious as you are to have it arrive state side, it still goes through a lengthy process. Returned petitions are last on the totem pole, so to speak. New petitions take priority over returned ones.

Diplomatic pouch numbers......these are classified, you the individual cannot get access to it, but I do believe a governemt official can have access and track it for you.

Travel.....I believe it goes to NVC first, then DOS, then USCIS. And it could sit at any one of those agencies for a bit.

Expediting from this point on.....IF you qualify, you may apply, but get your Senator or Congressman involved!

dwheels, I personally feel a bit uncertain about entering into this. Even if I knew the answers I'd feel funny about giving them to you because I feel like there's a big neon sign flashing "YMMV" over the whole thing. I know you know your people's situations but at the point of denial it seems like there's a lot of risk that you might be venturing into deeper waters than you really want to take on. Your support is incredibly valuable to them, I'm certain, and your advice is probably correct, but I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I realized I had told someone at this vulnerable point something that caused their case to founder. I'm not telling you to stop, and I'm not criticizing; I just am of the opinion that denials are unsafe to be handled by people who are not legal experts.

[Iyawo_Omo_Yoruba 31]

Speedwell, you are right. This is why I use the words "I believe", because I can only go off what I went through as advise, and what was told to me by these agencies while going through it. Plus, things change within the agencies without my knowledge, so its hard to know what this email means or that email means having never received them myself.

And every case is and should be treated individually, with a common baseline to go off of, yet being of the understanding that because it went this way for one or more, it may be different for you.

Ahhhhh a Wiki!!!

In addition to the information in the Wiki, some petitions are just reaffirmed, no NOIR, no NOID, no additional proof needed, as in my own personal case and a few others.

Thanks for finding this Kazulie!
