US london embassy headaches

[maore 0]

Hi All,

I am a dual british/french National and my spouse is Chinese (EEA visa for 5

years).

Myself and my spouse went to a Visa interview to the US embassy in January

and was handed the form 221(g) , it stated we had to wait for the medical

result(took place one day before the visa interview) and we needed to

provide proof of relationship.

I am puzzled by the whole thing since we got married in March and the

lottery winner announcement was sent in June(i.e. we got married in March ,

I actually completely forgot I applied for the greencard lottery_hehehe).

Anyway I diligently sent:

+ CD of pictures of us before the interview took place

+ copy of mobile phone bills (being a contractor we mainly communicate via

phone- I come back in the UK on the week end/ it is a pretty tough

situation for us but the financial gains will free us from working soon)

+ unfortunately I could not send emails correspondance because the site

which stored all the emails was unreachable from the UK

We are now in February-March and I have not heard anything from the US

embassy of London in terms of the case status and if they received all the

documents (sent through courrier).

My questions are the following:

+ I managed to get the email correspondances records , should I bother to

send them ? will it delay the case further ?

+ who should I contact to get an update on the case ?

+ Usually how long does it take to process this sort of application (US

greencard lottery winners and derivatives status) ?

+ What would be the worst case scenario ? Wife denied ? Conditional status

to the wife ? Myself denied under the ground we could not proof the strength

of our relationship ?

+ Shall we expect another grilling interview ? I am not going to mention the

questions asked during the interview but I would say sometimes it verged to

the indecent ?

+ If you were me would you be bothered in sending comments about this whole

process directly to the Embassador

My comments about this whole visa process is , the US embassy of London are

not making the job of their staff very easy , they could have setup a site

where you just type your case ID to check the status - I am sure not many

people would mind an increase in the visa processing to finance such a

system.
