AWOL Letter - Unknown next step

[Buckles 0]

Hello,

I have been waiting until June 21st for my ban on the US to expire so that I can finish my visa proceedings and return to my wife and son. Now that June 21st has come and gone my next steps are unknown to me as the embassy/immigration on whole has not delivered anything stating what my next steps ought to be.

I have had a few correspondences with londonconsular@state.gov in which they tell me "A letter will be sent out" which will tell me to resubmit me DS-2001 and DS-230 forms. However, said letter has not arrived and it has been almost a month. In their correspondence they assured me, three times, that this letter would be sent out "promptly in June" (their words). I phoned the embassy early this week to enquire for a fourth time where this letter is (I call once a week) and they can see no trace on my file of a letter being sent.

I have rebooked my medical which is to take place on the 26th, next week. I am now at an impasse. I do not want my medical to be sent to the embassy absent my DS-2001 and DS-230 -- however, this mysterious letter is looking more and more as though it does not exist, never did and never will. Therefore I am unsure as to what exactly it says, and therefore what case-specific actions I should take.

The background is these will be my 2nd DS-2001 and DS-230 filed for my visa case, as a while ago now I failed my visa interview due to overstay. The fact that these are my 2nd forms for the same case make me unsure if I need to send the supporting evidence, and fee.

To my question then:

I intend to send my DS-2001 and DS-230 beginning of next week (weekend for replies and advise). What should I send with them?

Should I send all the evidence anyway. Sending more than needed is better than less -- but I also don't want to unnecessarily bog down the case worker.

As I understand it, the materials I need to send with the forms are as follows:

- My original birth certificate (which I think they still have, unless they gave it back at my failed interview -- which I don't recall)

- Mine and my wife's original marriage certificate (we had four made up, so not a problem)

- A police certificate.

- Photocopy of my passport photo/biometric page (2 copies to be safe, signed and dated on the back)

- 2x passport-size photographs (signed on the back by me? Endorsed by other?)

- NVC letter with barcode -- no idea what this is. I called the NVC and they haven't dealt with my case in years (I've had a 3-year ban, their part in my case ended about 1.5-2 years ago when the US embassy took over). In my conversation with the NVC they couldn't advise me other than to say they will forward an email to me of a copy of "a form that has a barcode", if this is the right one is anyone's guess. They are as in the dark as I am.

- Are there any fees? Half the places I look say yes, the others no.

All this would be answered if londonconsular@state.gov had sent the letter as they said they would. I surely hope someone here can help me. I've been apart from my wife and son for too long for a frivolous reason.

Thank you, and god bless.
