The NVC October Moral Support/Ranting Thread

[laurie11278 3]

A Couple of questions..

I apologize ahead of time if these questions aren't in the "right place" or missed a previous response to a similar question. Thank you so much for your help.

#1 I got a letter from the Department of State about my husband potentially having refugee status because he was born in Iraq and is now living in the UAE. He was basically invited to interview even though he's actually Egyptian- he was born in Iraq but lived for most of his life in Egypt. Has anyone heard of this?

#2 Since my husband was born in Iraq but is Egyptian, his parents had to turn in his Iraqi birth certificate to a government center in Egypt when he went to Egypt to live. He doesn't have an Iraqi birth certificate nor will he have access to one. His Egyptian birth certificate is in English/Arabic. When I called NVC about this I was told that he should get an affidavit from his mother about his birth country, date, location, etc- get it translated and notarized. Well, how do you get things notarized in Egypt? His mother has already gone to two different places with no success.

Thanks!

Hey Mobar,

In Septembers thread I noticed you mentioned Lord of the Rings, I don't know if you ever got a chance to read it but if not: I recommend reading 'The last Ringbearer'. It is an alternative telling of the LOTR lore, from the point of view of the 'bad guys'. It was written in 1999 by a russian author, Kirill yeskov, and then translated into English 11 years later. It is quite a good read.

I will link the free pdf in case you are interested: The last Ringbearer.

Oh Thank You... I would love to read it... Poor fictional bad guys rarely have a second look-in. Looked in Amazon and Barnes & Nobel but couldn't find it. Amazon has a Spanish edition !!! Could you please tell me of the official source of the pdf?

You mean you fired Supervisor Sylvia!!??

Soloenta... I missed this one. That was some gutsy power move !

If I could only fire my Consular Officer.

You mean he is the only CO working at the embassy!?

If not, you might be able to ask for a different CO. Fingers crossed!

I'm not sure if it is the 'official source', since it still is considered fan fiction -although widely agreed as quite read-worthy- there is no official printed version as far as I know. Copyright and all that nonsense.

I found the publication here. More information is here, and here.

Helloo vj family!

We are waiting for our case complete scanned date 9/26, they gave us our case number on 9/17, just hoping the rest of the process goes smoothly too.I admire all of you out there going thru this situation, it doesnt matter the time longer/shorter its just really painful, I am praying hard for all of you. This is so difficult I am trying to stay cool but damn I miss my hubby, he left 3 days after our wedding and luckily I get to see him every month and a half. I cant sleep like I used to, I am really irritable and I look like a baby elephant lLOL, just trying to focus on the big picture, future looks bright for all of us, happily ever after, its a growing pain, my hubby and I are super close now and we are healthy. This process sucks but I am happy I found my online family, right now im doing my "readin" before bed. One more thing, when we started everybody told me to wait 8 months for my 130 to be approved, It took exactly 5, now to sent all took 9 days I am praying really really hard I believe and I have hope by thw end of the month ill get a CC.. God bless you all..

You have to apply from scratch to get a different CO. I think this is DOS policy. I actually overheard the CO next-window (during my interview) telling the same to another gentleman. He was a USC trying to overcome a previous denial dished out to his wife by a different CO.

I just notice the statement "not for commercial distribution" under the pdf's copyright, so I guess it's shareware. Thanks for the confirmation.

I have never seen doctors or taken test as much as I did this year I even demanded a ECG suspecting something was wrong with my heart . Thank you USCIS and NVC I'm going to send them my doctor bills

I've called NVC at least once a week since my NO2 on 9/2/14. Called yesterday and was told that they received they just received the case the day before on 9/29/14. CS rep told me to wait 30 days to be assigned a case number and pay fees. I will be calling once a week until I receive the case number.
