help with the red fleg issue

I don't have much to add except dress nice, be polite, answer question the best you can and most important be professional. If you have any evidence at all organize it. Put you evidence in such a way that it is easy for them to review. Also don't be afraid to email them with these same questions you ask here. Before the interview, I emailed and called them so much they know me and my fiancee by time she had her appointment. At least this way they know you care.

By the way, I was told they don't look at most of the evidence anyway. Mostly they care about calls and pictures......

very good advice.

organize your proofs is so important!!! i made a folder for ours. i had a table of contents

i put all of our pics in plastic sleeves. i tried to make is so easy for the co to go through.

*sigh* the CO at our first interview neglected to ask for proof. guess he thought we were to stupid to have bring any. it was in DH briefcase, all 4 1/2 pounds of it. the man at the door told DH not to get the proof out until the CO asked for it. *sigh* we waited another 18 months for him to get here.

my advice>>>

GET THAT PROOF OUT AND KEEP IT OUT!!! SHOVE IT UP THEIR NOSE EVEN IF THEY DONT ASK FOR IT!

Worth repeating! I have heard this advice more than once and it makes nothing but good sense.

Seems like the more organized you are the less they look at. I have seen people take binders, tabbed with a table of contents, and they don't look at a single thing. People take a handful of things and the CO will oooh and ahh over the pics. Go figure. It seems more like a craps shoot than anything resembling systematic. One week one person is in denial mode, the next week it's the other one. The only consistent thing I've heard out of Casa is that the man is nice...and I'm sure someone will come along now and say they had a bad experience with him too.

unfortunately i am sure you are right. i have said repeatedly there is no rhyme or reason to what casa does. we can all second guess but in reality, only the CO who returns the petion knows. sadly the couple will NEVER know ther reason either. when the NOIR comes it just states that the CO found the couple ineligable for a visa blah blah blah. although one couple did get a copy of the CO's notes! me thinks that was a boo boo.
