Anyone asked to come back for second interview

[sam357 4]

I have a question for a friend of mine directed at anyone who has had the same type of experience. My friend's fiancee was interviewed today and the American counselor kept asking why did they meet through her brother-in-law. Her brother-in law is her fiancees brother. So the counselor gave her a pass to come back to the embassy and said they wanted to interview her again. They didn't say she was denied and kept all her paperwork including her passport. The lady who took her paperwork told her all her paperwork was in order so she didn't know what else was required. This was in Manila.

So my question to anyone who's paperwork and passport was kept when you went back for the second interview was it favorable or were you denied?

My boyfriend got a refusal, and the CO just told him to submit more paperwork. But the CO gave him his passport back! This is really annoying me because people who are asked to submit more documents or for another interview, they usually keep the passport.

When my uncle and cousin went for their 2nd interview, they were approved, and the passport was left at the USEM on the first interview. So she might be getting approve, they might just do another background check or whatnot.

i had my interview on that same day. i say i've seen some applicant's who were called to Window 72, i can't really tell what were their cases. but what i observed was some were given back their passport with a yellow paper (i don't know what's written on it). i even heard a case where USEM was asking for a DNA test for an applicant and her petitioner (mother & daughter), an applicant who was asked to go back to NSO for some name problems. as with the K1's, most of those that had problems were asked to show additional evidences of income. i don't have any idea on how USEM follows their step of processing a visa, but what i heard clearly from the guy at Window 72 when he talks with these k1 applicant who needs to show additional proof of income, "you need to submit additional income since the one you presented isn't enough to process the petition. if i am going to show this to the American Consul, most likely, you will get denied for being a Public Charge in the US".

another case i saw, one K1 applicant was asked to have another interview (don't know if this is your friend's K1). not sure what went wrong to her interview with the American Consul but when my friend (another K1) asked her, she said that she got nervous. She was called at Window 70 and was given some answering sheets before she will have another interview. on her answering sheets, i saw some questions (i mean it's a lot of questions like more or less 30 items) like write the names of the fiance's brothers/sisters, if they have an engagement ring, what was engraved on it? and more questions. i really feel bad for her, it's all so stressing. i don't know what happened next, we were done and were going out of the building, (almost everybody were done) when we heard her name called again.

"My friend's fiancee was interviewed today and the American counselor kept asking why did they meet through her brother-in-law. Her brother-in law is her fiancees brother."

>>> i got confused with this. does that mean that her brother-in-law and her fiance are brothers? which means she has a sister who is married to her fiance's brother?

when i was asked by the American Consul how i met my fiance, i told him that we were introduced by my sister-in-law's sister who happens to be my fiance's best friend. i think the Consul got a little confused lol so he made me say it again.

i hope your friend's fiance will get through with this, USEM might give her a rough time but as long as she can give them proofs that her relationship with the USC isn't a fraud, she will make it.
