Case Complete to Interview June 2016

[Deji 21]

Had our interview today at the London embassy.... My husband had an interview with a person who was very difficult to understand due to her accent (she was Chinese). He thought she said approved, but apparently said refused because she handed him back his passport and a colored slip that said "your visa application has been refused under section 221G of the immigration.... you may be able to overcome the 221G pending: submission of additional evidence. This evidence is: Passport that is valid for at least 6 months after the expected date of entry into the U.S.

He said he tried to give her the passport back but she wouldn't explain why she wouldn't take it... his passport is valid until 2025. I'm so confused and upset about this. He lives far from London and didn't realize this mistake until he was on the train back home. He said she was very forceful and wouldn't let him ask questions, apparently he was rushed out of the embassy. It was raining outside so he didn't get a chance to look at the papers until he had gotten on the train. I don't understand how or why this happened. Obviously his passport was valid (it was the same passport we submitted to the NVC). I'm really upset that they didn't even hear him out or try to explain why they thought it was invalid. Has anyone heard about this happening before??? He said he thought she said approved because she had a big smile on her face. I'm pretty bummed about this

I am sorry to hear about this unfortunate incident. I will suggest you guys act based on the pink slip given to you and mail the embassy by outlining the same details you have shared with us here.... Perhaps these can be resolved as soon as possible.....

Hey guys I wanted to know if someone can shed some light on this issue I am having. I know friends who got their case complete after I did but they received an interview for our embassy already. Is there a reason its out of order I thought it was a queue?

Are they same Visa category or IR1/CR1?

[Deji 21]

Hello everyone... my wife just had her interview at the Mumbai consulate. Approved!!!!

Congratulations to you both

[dwheels76 5,468]

Yeah my our category is F2A, and the other people I know are not in the same category. I was just assuming that once case is compelte and you;re in a queue it would be the same. If anyone knows that there is a different could you please let me know. I called NVC they couldn't answer my question either. Kept saying visa is available for you and just waiting for an interviewed to be scheduled.

Yes it's different. Every embassy has their selected slots for ch Visa type. Look on the spreadsheet for others for your embassy and category.

By the way your PD is current right?

Hubby did his medical today at the Q life family clinic in Victoria Island. He was asked to pick up result next week Tuesday? Does it usually take this long to get result? Well, I thank God for everything. Interview is right around the corner ?

Good luck everyone

Yes Q-Life is 5 to 6 days. Children's is 3 days. Almost there.

My husband interviewed in Montreal on May 9th. His interview was about 4 minutes long and he was immediately approved. Yay!

We showed up around 8am for an 8:30am interview. We met with one agent for about 10 minutes to give him our original documents, which he organized. Then we got called by the office for the interview, which my husband did by himself. I waited in the waiting room. The officer asked if either of us had been married before, and how we met, and whether he had ever been in trouble with the law. He then told my husband that his case was the easiest one all morning, and gave him the Welcome To America brochure.

So happy - thanks for the help from everyone! I guess I'll be moving over to following the "after the interview" type of threads now. Good luck to the rest of you still waiting!

Congratulations. No there are no "after the Interview" threads. For specific country /embassy things you would have to open your own topic. Most just ask here for how to do this and that since many here have already been through the process and happily living in US (SUKIE)

Have you emailed the embassy to get clarification. Sometimes the wrong box is checked so you need to check and find out what is up.

I wrote the embassy within an our of my husbands interview asking why what was up and that I was right outside and in the country for the next month. They responded with you are approved please drop off your passport at the collection center.

Sorry for the confusion and frustration.

I have a concerning and confusing question about 2015 taxes. So when we submitted our I-864 that was before the current year (2015) taxes were due. The financial documents including I-864 was submitted on Jan 27th 2016. It included 2014, 2013 and 2012 taxes. My wife is going for the interview on May 19, 2016.

for the 2015 I didn't file taxes and just took an extension and will file jointly when my wife arrives to US. Do you guys think this can be a problem? or the Tax Extension paper I mailed her should be enough? and should I also send her a new I-864 with 2015 income information?

We did get a checklist from NVC about a missing 2014 W-2, which they said not to send to NVC but my wife should take to the interview to the consulate.

Thanks is advance for your replies

I filed an extension also I printed off the tax form (even though it will be amended) attached W2 also with updated I-864EZ. My husband handed it over at interview.
