the CO cannot deny a visa but recommend it be return back to the states for denial..and yes, the CO has the authority to request more info. the guidelines are clear on this

Hi,

im new here and trying to fish some new info as im getting nervous about my interview...

this post caught my eyes, and wondering over and over what could be the reason for putting you on AR, i looked on your page and noticed but wasn't sure, it was on your page you were married or what? but it says something like;

Ana is the "marrow of my bones" and the "light of my life."

Witnessed by Ana's family and friends, the Baptist Minister with joy

Pronounced us to be Husband and Wife for the rest of our lives

In the eyes of God, I see Ana as my beautiful Princess and my Wife,

With all my love to Ana Mae Pon of Gingoog City, Philippines for life.

i was just curious because im having my upcoming interview in a few weeks from now, and age gap could also be scrutinized about our case which i really hope not im crossing fingers and praying until i walk out the embassy with flying colors.. i hope

So it could be it?? I don't know, maybe this ceremony wasn't legal.

I think you will be just all right. USCIS just wanted to make sure both parties are safe. The Amerikano and the Filipina.

Americano immigration is highly structured for security reasons. And it applies literally to everything all across the board.

DocMay,

I can see most of the VJers here are on AR. I understand the frustration, even we prepare all the documents they need according to their specification they still have job to do and double check or cross reference the papers we submitted. Let's just be more patience on dealing this.

As long as our intentions are good then there is nothing to be afraid of. Just pray more for His grace and guidance.

Kim Tung

I AGREE

[xoxo77 1]

The CO gave her a hard time maybe because you're not around in USembassy in manila?

I dont think that's the reason. Whether Doc May was there or not. During my time

beloved hubby wasnt there during my interview, I was so nervous then I finally talked to the CO. Goodness gracious it was super quick as if I was just putting my make up on. Im serious, it's that super quick. Our AOS was without an interview, i cant believe what's happening but I got my green card in 6 months. Praise be to GOD

Hell DocMay. your fiancee and I had the same interview date(April 10, 2007) until now I haven't receive my visa too. I have also received a white paper and they said "wait until you hear from us". I was just wondering what happen to our papers. My fiancee had a divorce with his exwife before but he said that he had no criminal record or restraing order.

He was an Airforce in New Mexico before and he resigned last May 2006. Then last June 2006 we met in person here in Cebu he stayed here for 2 months then go back to US last August 2006. He got job at Las Vegas, Nevada then after 5 months he resign again he got a new job and now he is presently working in Arizona Air National Guard. When he filed the petition he put his address in Las Vegas, Nevada coz that was he stayed after he resign in the Airforce. When I recieved the DS 156 &157 forms I fill out his new information like his new cellphone number and new address which is now in Tucson, Arizona. The question here changing an address was a reason why am I on AR? because I put his new address? I heared that they will give exemption if the petittioner is in the military because they will deploy or move and base. Pls. advice me what to do with this situation. I hope we will hear May and I receive a good news soon. God bless us you and May

INTERESTING that you bring this up to me:

Legal? According to whose definition?

1. Of course this is not a lawful marriage according to US or Philippines, as these government want to be little gods.

2. Yes, this is a binding marriage according to the Holy Bible, but who is your god? Philippine or US government?

3. I would rather have a marriage license to violate with little penalty if I was a criminal

4. Violation of a promise/ vow to God has serious penalties.

5. If no license, the Philippines and US Government does not recognized any ceremony

My faith is in God of the Bible, governments have a history of causing more problems than solving in life.

It would be funny to have my case on AR of practice of my religious freedom, as there are major financial

Penaties to the USA if I could prove the the C.O. placed us on AR of announcing my religious Promise.

This was a PROMISE CEREMONY in Phi culture, if the government can require a license for marriage,

Will the government require a license to pray? I serious hope this will never be a reality!

If I am denies a visa for Ana based on our PROMISE TO GOD, then surely I count this as an honor to my GOD.

Dear Victoria,

Changing of the address could have caused some attention, but the CO mostly looks at the woman.

According to senior officials at Immigrations, 50 to 75% of women from the Far East are committing marriage fraud.

Marriage FRAUD is a condition where a women submits to marriage in order to gain entry into the USA,

without going through the normal immigration process. Then, she divorces her husband, to have a better

job and working conditions. This is crazy as surviving alone here is very difficult without training skills.

This happened to my Ukrainian ex-wife who listen to bad people to gain wealth in divorce. God does

have a sense of humor and justice with individual who use HIS Holy Institution called marriage for money.

Please see this site for details on Marriage Fraud:

http://www.immigrationfraud.com

http://www.ice.gov/pi/news/factsheets/dbf061211.htm

http://www.nationalmeditation.org/page17.htm/

There are many other sites which say the same thing about people from many countries. I am just puzzled myself, why so few are selected for AR. When USINS suspected 20 to 30% of marriage fraud. There is only one solution is to get married in Philippines as there are very few selected for AR after being married.

ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW - May 9, 2007

FINALLY: CO approved Ana's visa.

Why the delay and AR? The CO alleged that I filed a fraudulent visa application as he did not think that I was divorced. REALLY: How crazy does this sound as it is illegal to be married to more than one wife, plus violation of several immigration statutes. If a person cannot function in society, I guess that he can always get a job at USCIS.

Thanks for everyone's prayers and support.

AR was for ONE MONTH: 30 days

The CO thought that I filed a fraudulent visa application as he did not think that I was divorced. REALLY: How crazy does this sound as it is illegal to be married to more than one wife, plus violation of several immigration statutes. If a person cannot function in society, I guess that he can always get a job at USCIS. I was offended that anyone would suggest that I was saying anything racial: this was only for identification! I really do not know if he was a good, bad or competent person: Obviously, he saw the misunderstanding as an intelligent American: I am proud of him.

HELPFUL NUMBERS to save time and worry on status of your AR:

These are not the silly $20 phone call to get an appointment.

U.S. Embassy 011-63-2-528-6300 then 7 then prompted for extension 5185#

Department of State 202 663 1225 + 1 + 0

Thanks for everyone's prayers and support.

Congratulations on your visa. I am sure the trip through A/R seemed very slow but actually it was pretty fast compared to others. I hope you have a storybook life together.

Hi Doc May!! Congratz!!! I got a noticed from the delbros too that they going to send my visa or passport within 1 to 2 days. I wonder how did you know that if it was an approaved visa? Because the Delbros didn't tell me that I was approaved they just said" DELBROS DELIEVERY!Delvry for case #MNL200684xxxxx starts tom upt to d next 2days! U MUST leave a valid ID & a signed authorization letter or a 1WK DELAY will ensue. Did your fiancee also receive a message like that from Delbros? I just wonder why it takes longer to send my visa, coz my friend's visa they got it after the next day after they check the website of delbros and She is from Cebu City and me too. My other friend is also from Cagayan which is part of the Mindanao. I just wonder if your fiance get her visa now. Again Congratz and God bless!!

Delbros Delivery

My fiancee was begging me to call the Embassy at Manila on May 9th to bug consulate to process our AR:

U.S. Embassy 011-63-2-528-6300 then 7 then prompted for extension 5185#

Operator told me that the visa had been approved on Tuesday (May 8) and expect 2 - 3 day processing:

I went to www.delbros.com and enter my fiancee number MNL2006845138

My fiancee had her address at a local nursing review school in Manila, where owner is personal friend of mine.

He was not in the office on first arrival 5/10, so Ana signed an authorization letter on the 5/11 at 9:00A.M. for him.

Funny: Ana never received any text messages from Delbros, but Ana's phone number was on her application.

Sorry to hear that you had delays, but Ana did not pay Delbros fee on leaving Embassy and nothing set up for her.

But, Delbros is very efficient operation. For deliveries in CDO expect at least 5 day delay per www.delbros.com (see FAQ). I hope that this information was helpful.
