After temporary denial, approval!!!

[Jeanna 21]

I am so happy I don't know where to start! My fiance had his appointment on Nov. 1st and we were so excited! All of our paperwork was in order but they decided now (after USCIS approved it all) that my foreign divorce decree was not sufficient. Talk about stress! It's been 2 long years of being apart and I was so disappointed!

I sent the embassy an email explaining the situation and that my divorce paper (from an Islamic court in Mumbai) was legally binding in India and that the USCIS had obviously accepted my petition for a fiance visa as they had forwarded it on to the NVC and finally, the embassy.

Then a few days later I found a blurb on the State Dept. website which said they recognize foreign divorces. I emailed that info to them, very respectfully of course, along with my gratitude for their taking this into consideration.

My fiance told me the lady at his interview was very kind and really seemed upset she could not just issue his stamp that day. She told him to be patient and have me email them but to be ready to bring his passport back. She did give him a paper with a request for more proof that said "temporarily denied".

So imagine our utter delight when they called him today and told him to bring his (and his son's) passport into the embassy on Nov. 12, which just happens to be my birthday! So, God willing. he will receive it a week or two after that.

Has anything like this happened to anyone else? Just curious.

Thanks ya'll! It's been a huge blessing and we are just so ready to be a family! Not to mention I think about how much money we will save without all of the long distance phone calls, plane tickets, and hotel rooms! Mama could have had a new car by now! lol
