Hello My friends,

 

I know we all are frustrated on this intentional long wait times to reunite with ur family and friends. After paying all the fees and following the due process they are making all wait for months/years to get your family members legally to the US, which is completely immoral and unethical. But let me give you some direction and it has helped lot of people in getting interviews scheduled for IR1/CR1.

 

1. Please find out your local house representative or Senator of the area.

2. Visit their website and call them in their office.

3. Explain them your situation that it causing mental torture and depression and ask them why there is never ending wait for scheduling the interview when you have done your job diligently and you have been D'Qed.

4. If you are US Citizen tell them that you are not excluded for VISA interview under presidential declaration, which barred certain categories earlier.

5. They will ask you to fill in the privacy release Form.

6. Fill then form and submit to their office.

7. They will contact NVC on your behalf to take this matter with US Embassy to expedite the interview scheduling.

 

I know people who have done above successfully get the interviews scheduled. Also pass on this message to all the people who have been waiting for months/years with no end in sight so they could get relief. If you all do your part it will build the pressure to act. Also please sign up on Twitter and tweet to the US Consulate about your case and why there is such a long wait. They will come back and say Covid and reduced staff. Submit a FOIA request how much staff is reduced due to Covid and how it has impacted their normal processing times.

Good day all,

Our interview was this morning at 8:00AM.

Upon arrival documents requested were the original appointment letter and new appointment letter, 2 passport pics and passport.

Inside at the first window, marriage certificate, birth certificate, citizen certificate and police record(s) were taken. My husband had a police record from Jamaica and Trinidad.

He waited for about 30 mins for the CO to call him for his interview. He was asked:

-The name of the petitioner and petitoner's daughter.
-Where does your wife live and with whom
-Questions about his previous visitor's visa application and why his wife wasn't listed as the person of reference
-Petitioner's previous joint sponsor Affidavit of support (I was a joint sponsor for someone in 2018)

-He was also asked to show pictures, mainly non-wedding pictures and they looked at our call log he provided

-Now, the CO began explaining to him that the document he presented as his Trinidad Police Certificate was not the original. They went back and forth about the validity of this for awhile, but unfortunately, my husband brought the letter referencing his police certificate BUT left the original certificate at home by mistake.

This is something he and I went over several times including Sunday and last night. I specifically reminded him to ensure he had the 3 documents sent from Trinidad for the police certificate and he assured me had it.

With that being said, they kept his passport and issued a 221g for the return of the original police certificate via courier service.

Let this be a lesson to you all not to take for granted that you have all the paperwork. Go over the interview checklist, double check, triple check and make 100% certain of this. Check again the night before your interview.

Do not allow there to be a delay on your case for something avoidable and within your control. We are in control of the documents we bring to the interview and how we answer questions. Hone in on that control because we cannot control how long it takes for administrative processing and I know none of you want to be in this predicament. I prepared with my husband mutiple times yet, he still faltered. I am disappointed and upset to say the least but, this too shall pass as I know it's something we can address and overcome.

 

We are now preparing to tackle this obstacle.

 

Anyway, sorry for the long text. Pity VJ doesn't have VN, but that woulda long too LOL.

Bless up everyone, I am still rooting and praying for us all 🙏🏾❤

I hate that happened to you I had my interview November 9 and I got 221g still waiting.

@Shandy3015 sorry to hear you rec'd a 221g and haven't yet been adjudicated. Do you mind sharing the reason for the 221g and the steps you've taken thus far?

My bad I didn't answer the whole question. I emailed my documents and I called the courier to make sure it's going to the right place. I'm going to show you my 221g

Ok I see now. The transcript was to be sent via email and the proof of relationship via courier. The courier said we would receive an email when the pkg is delivered to the Embassy. Did you receive an email?
