It was not even returned - we were lucky the congressman's aides managed to get on the case quickly and persuade the embassy to reconsider based on a couple of things i guess they hadn't before, like the age of the old case and the fact that my fiancee had not attended the previous interview - it seems they didn't take those things into account before, they just saw a previous case number and said denied. But....that's also what i asked them to consider when i phoned and was told there's no discretion on their part, they just have to return it. So, either congressmen carry weight when requesting the re-review or maybe something else in the background changed like the ex fiancee's case got removed from the system which then allowed the embassy to re-review within their own rules - either way it's the congressman that gave us the help we needed, and thank goodness they acted before it got to USCIS.

So, now we're just waiting to receive the passport back with the visa - hopefully by the end of next week, and we plan for her to fly here late this month! Wow it still hasn't sunk in after 2 weeks of trying to figure out how we'll manage for the next year to 18 months, we are both just grinning from ear to ear!

I really think most couples don't appreciate every moment they have together and those of us in an LDR can always remember how lucky we are to be together, it seems like such a small thing until you've been seperated like this, so i will never take it for granted.

Oh, and Celesty, if you're reading this - I love you with all my heart, see you soon honey! Mwahh!

That is fantastic ! Happy reunion.

Sorry that this is happening. I was physically sick when my then Fiancee called me to tell me that she was denied. It's totally not a cool feeling. Others have covered most of what i wanted to say bu

I understand you want to be married, but again, it is another petition being filed, and you still have not resolved the issue of being denied for multiple petitions.

I love this, congrats.

The entire immigration liason staff for the California elected officials need to go and do internship at your Congresspersons office so they can be educated.

I find the effectiveness of the Cali folks to be less then helpfull but I also realise that I live in the thick of things.
