A SECOND INTERVIEW?? WE ONLY NEEDED A CO-SPONSOR ON OUR FIRST INTERVIEW!?

[Eliezer y Wendy 13]

So my and my fiance were at the interview on January 31. The CO told us at one point to seat while she analyze our case carefully. She said the case was a little complicated. We waited, but then she said that everything was find and that there were no doubts about our relationship. She said the only missing piece was that in my affidavit I didn't make enough on 2013. She said that I do make more than enough with the current employers, but she still needed an affidavit that made enough last year. The CO also said that I don't have to be there anymore, that my fiance can finish the rest of the process after submitting the requested I-864.

I came back to the states and sent a co-sponsor (my dad) with form I-864. They received it last Monday, and called her today to come in this Friday 14 to the embassy. My fiance asked if she needed to bring any documents, they said no. They said they have everything they need including her passport that was sent with the new co-sponsor as they requested. My fiance asked if it was approved or what was happening, and they said they don't know yet. They said they need to ask some questions and depending on how that goes they will determine if she is approved or not.

Any body have gone through something like this on this journey?? We don't know what to expect or what they missed to ask. Please share your thoughts.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks

I am wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that your petition was approved even though you had not actually been together within the 2 years prior to filing. At least I think I recall correctly that was what happened with your case. The consulate can send cases back to the USCIS for review if they believe the petition was approved incorrectly, Sine they mentioned your case was complicated, it has me wondering if that is having an impact on the visa approval.

[Eliezer y Wendy 13]

I believe the complications the CO was talking about were related to my fiance being previously in the states with valid social security and all that. The CO has the letter I sent USCIS explaining our case when they sent me the RFE. In the interview she was asked more questions about her previous trip to U.S. than our relationship. The CO stopped with these questions when she realized my fiance was brought to the states as a child. That's when the CO said she wanted to analyze the case carefully.

We could see her going through the papers from the waiting area. The CO took the time to read the newspaper story that she already had before we came to the interview. She also went through all the documents that were given to my fiance while she was under supervision by the deportation enforcement. On most of these documents, employment authorization cards we presented in original, her driver license, original social security card, and other communications from immigration services, the CO seemed to be verifying something in the computer. The CO also called another woman who I thought was a supervisor, and they were both kind of analyzing. By the look on their faces I thought very negatively about our case, until they started looking at our pictures. They started laughing and in some pictures they would stop like if they actually like them.

This is when they called and said everything check out ok, with the exception of the affidavit. And while she was filling out the 221g she asked us how we met. She also asked how many times I've been in Guatemala since my fiance left the states, and I said two times since she left. Inside of me I said two including the one for the interview. She didn't ask about the two years previous to the I-129F since she had that on the packaged, I think.

So I would think if that's the problem, there isn't nothing to ask, but to deny the visa since they already know. Plus if that was the problem I would also think that they would ask her to bring proof of visitation within that period. I lawyer I talked about our first interview he was surprise that they didn't ask her to file a unlawful presence waiver or any other penalty type of fine.

Thanks for the input. Please every just pray it all be good. My case is the hands of God.

Thanks again...

It was just something that popped in my head about your case. Hopefully they will just ask a few more questions along the lines of whatever it is they find complicating about the case and then give you an approval. Good luck tomorrow!

*** Thread moved from K-1 Process forum to the Embassy/Consulate forum -- topic involves that phase. ***

[Eliezer y Wendy 13]

Yeah we are very unsure of what they want to ask, and it was such a short notice for me to buy a flight again to be there with her. I can't just ask for another time off to my employers right now.

I really hope it turns our ok. I hope they don't stress about the two years requirement. Hopefully it is just very simple questions they forgot to ask on our first intervew.

Thanks again.

So my fiance went to this second interview, but she was not asked any question. She was told that they researched with USCIS and found out she needs to pay to waivers: I-601 and I-212.

I only hope this is the last missing piece to put my family together.

Thanks again.

It's not just paying for the waivers. You as the USC have to prove to USCIS why it would be a hardship for you if she didn't return to the US.

Time for you to head over to immigrate2.us forum and start reading:

I to am having trouble with the Guatemalan Embassy, I made enough, but for some reason they still asked for another sponsorship, but my lawyer thinks that I was just at the bar, not above, so we updated all the informaiton and added my assets...My case is also in the hands of god, February 25th is our new interview date.. :/ Im praying, but this time I will be present with him, so I am hoping I can assure them that everything will be ok..and I will take care of every thing. good luck .

I wish you the best in God's hands. I would consider bringing a back up sponsor on form I-864 that would qualify with the 2013 tax year. I currently make way more than the requirement, but last year I didn't make the same. Better be safe I'd say.

[KmOm0629 2]

Thank you, We added my assets and im praying that is more than enough, Ive had my cars for over 4 years, and we own my home so I put that to, I am praying they will accept that, and I will also submit mynew tax forms for this year.

[Eliezer y Wendy 13]

You should be good then. Especially if you had these assets on 2013, not just this year. They focused more on 2013 than my current income.

Good luck!
