Reaffirmed interview attended

[bravagreen 36]

Hello visajourney family. I went for my reaffirmed cr1 interview today and after asking me just 4 basic questions which are..

Who filed for you?

Does your wife have kids?

How many?

Have she been married before

Have you yourself been married before?

 After this questions in just a minute he spent 50 minutes just typing on the computer. He finally gave me a check list and wrote on it that administrative processing and told me they need to verify some things on the file and they will contact me via fon call or email as to where to take my passport to and any other instructions that may follow. So I don't know how to call this, where sad or what?  So basically that was all what transpired at my interview today. He gave me my passport back and said he can't keep it because he does not know how long it will take for them to finish the administrative processing. He only took copies of original documents I sent there.

I did some research on the latest memorandum from the president to the consulates. No more than 4-5 minutes are to be spent on interviews. Into AP to finish the rest of their checking. USCIS is instructed to vet all returned applications thoroughly and the consulates again at the embassy. It is likely all documents are being verified, phone calls made to those who wrote letters on the couple's behalf and of course local investigations. i am glad to start seeing reaffirmed cases moving through the system. I am hoping this doesn't cause undue delays in AP. Praying for everyone and their family.

I find that hard to believe, link please. Perhaps for B2's but not for family based visas.

Congratulations on at least having the second interview.  I would stay positive on this.  they probably need to check things, as they say.

Also BravaGreen, did you submit new evidence?  did they look at it thoroughly?

Trust me this new counselor officers don't give hard time at all. They don't even look at the documents you submit again. They just ask 3 or 4 questions and they are basic and make their decision.

But I'm confused.  You said they didn't look at any documents.  What did they look at?  just photos?

OK, thanks.  I'm spending a lot of time putting together a photo album, but I'm wondering now if I'm wasting my time.

Well I put up a foto album of over 250 pics and you wount believe the man never even opened it. He only flip over the one my wife sent and just return them to me. I sent chat of over 3000 pages. I was the one having the biggest tones of evidence there yet he never even read a page of the chat and gave all to me through the window bit by bit till I collected all. All the counselors as I see yesterday was issuing visas to everybody except for my case and another man who is adopting a child that they put on administrative processing. Every body with with fresh case was approved. Now the counselor officers there are very friendly and simply.I don't know why they put mine of AP but the man told me is not denial they just need to verify some things. Well our cases are different so don't base your case on mine. Just put up whatever you have because the one that interviewed me might not be the one that interview your husband. He might just be given the approval straight. Just stay positive.
