they want my orginal birth certificate????? I have a huge problem with that as I'm from the U.K. and wouldn't know the first about getting it replaced. Why can't they just use the bio page from my passport??

If you DO want another copy, send me a PM, costs £7 ($15) for a new copy from whichever borough you were born in, takes maybe a week to two weeks.

Does anyone have an idea how long the Embassy take to answer emails? I sent an email on Thursday and was just wondering when I should expect an answer.

I don't know if they have improved or not, but they never answered half of my e-mails! And when they did, it took forever.

I think I'm going to just call the Embassy today.

i emailed the embassy twice and got no response. i gave up on that since calling is much easier.

kk, the embassy will only take your call on monday and friday, 1:30-3:30.

does the embassy take both birth certificates? i was thinking they may only want the beneficiary's.

wrote the embassy last evening and "cussed them out" and they responded to me immediately here is my letter:

"Dear Sir/Madam,

My receipt number is My name is Leroy... Petitioner

for Finace Venessia...My I-29F was approved on May 22

The file was received from NVC on the June 1st.

I was further given the date of July 3rd to drop off my DS-230 via email

request, that would make it one month just to drop off one form.

Given that I was given this very long date to drop off the DS-230 form,

my request is if you could Kindly provide me with package 4 on that date

and I'm also requesting and interview date.

Please let me know if it is possible to give us an interview date at

this time. If not I'm asking if we could drop off the form any earlier.

I'm making this request because of the length of time which we were

given just to drop off this one form could possible given unforseen

circumstances, set our interview date back. We have the DS-230 form

downloaded and properly filled out. "

Actually I was aware that they would not be able to give me an interview date yet, I just wanted to sound a little ignorant.

Here is their response:

Dear Mr....:

An appointment has been scheduled for June 19th at 12:30 for your

fiancee to submit her Ds-230 pt 1. Unfortunately, and appointment for

interview is approximately a month and a half after she submits the

form. In the future, please refer to the case number, which is

#### instead of receipt number.

So I got my bank verification letter today. All it has is the date my account was opened and the current amount! I'm pissed because the lady I spoke with from the bank assured me that it would include the total amount of deposits for the last year. I paid $10.00 for that piece of ####### that ain't gonna help me! So, did anyone print out ALL of their bank statements for the 12 month period for the interview???

No. I didn't include any bank statements.

I have no plans to send bank statements, my W-2 forms, pay statements, Job letter and insurance certificates are all I plan to send. My salary is pretty decent.

I requested it from my bank and they are telling me I have to pay one hundred dollars, I will not spend that money, I really don't think I need to.

I had a letter from my bank (Bank of America) for both of my accounts...business and personal. Date I opened the accounts and that I'm a good customer, something to that fact. They didn't want either. I went into my bank and the branch manager whopped out the letter signed it and I was on my way....at no cost.

They didn't take mine.

They kept Craig's original birth certificate. In my original paperwork (way back-2 yrs ago), I gave them a copy of my birth certificate and I had it on me when I went for the interview, but they didn't want any of my info.

The only items they kept...was the W2's and income tax stuff. No employment letters, no bank stuff, no other evidence, but....if anyone has read about my interview, I had a TOTAL jack** and he gave me a really hard time. Looking back....I wish he would have given me a HARDER time!!!!

my bacnk charged 25 i think...i don't remember if she even looked at it....all she was worried about was the Aff. of support...

and with the birth cert. they do want it to see it...because they did ask for it at the 2nd window. but then gave it back

Ladies I have a big dilemma. Tony wants to go to Louisiana to work for 8 months! The work would start in September. The baby is due in December. He says he would come home on weekends. I have a HUGE problem with this and he doesn't seem to understand or he just doesnt' care. All he sees are $$$ signs. I do not want to be a single mom. This is my first baby - I am scared to death I do not want a weekend relationship with my husband - I want him there every day. I had enough of long distance relationship BS when he was still in Jamaica.

Not to mention, there are no direct flights from there to Detroit and the flights cost about $400 each!! That would be $1600 a month in plane fares plus he would have to rent an apartment down there for during the week. He doesn't seem to understand the insanity of his plan. The more I try to talk him out of it, the more stubborn and determined he is to make it happen. Please advise

Girl I can totally see what your saying..def need a serious talk. I just had to shut down my husband his job wants him to go to Trinidad, I said YOU MUST BE OUT OF UR DAMN MIND ! Where does he think he's going NOW..u have an interview in 1 1/2 mth...got to be kidding..but hang in there...do the pro/con talk
