Visa issued, passport lost?

[GulfwarVeteran 1]

When my wife was issued her IR1 visa last year, we waited two months because the Embassy had misplaced her passport. I called  my senators' office, and about two days later they located it, and called her to come get it.  The date of issue on the Visa was June, but they returned her passport in August.

 

Once my wife settled in the USA we petitioned our (her) son.  Things went amazingly fast though USCIS, and the NVC ( I think it helped to include my DD-214 so they knew I am a Veteran).  The embassy has stalled us three months now,  First was about getting the biological father's permission.  We had included his death certificate. I would have thought that was good enough.  Well, for some reason they needed to check with his paternal grandparents.  They of course had no problem with their grand child immigrating from their war torn country to the USA.

 

The visa status has changed to "issued". Where have we seen that before?  The embassy called my wife, and asked for his passport.  They have the passport.  The situation has repeated itself.  I am a bit worried because they also have my California birth certificate, our marriage certificate, his birth certificate, and a lot of other documents that might also be misplaced.

 

The interview was last February.  My wife flew back to attend it with him.  She has been there almost three months.  I have already contacted the senator's office again.  What else can I do?

They kept your originals without giving them back the same day after the interview? I'll think they'll give them back same day after examining them since they already have copies. The USEM hasn't responded yet?

All you can do, imo, is contact the consulate directly........they might return some of the documents..they might not return them.  It is always recommended to have multiple certified copies of original documents just in case.......being a veteran is of no benefit.........good luck on the rest of your journey.

What document or letter that you provided to embassy about grandparents' permission?

I submitted no document to that effect.  Evidently they wanted to speak to the gransparents on the phone.  He is here now.  Things are looking good now.
