They can make inquiries on behalf of the petitioner.  That might be your best bet at this point. There is no internal ombudsman that I know of for the Department of State.

Had my interview today in Amsterdam and got approved! 🤩 Had to wait 2-2,5 hrs for an interview that barely lasted 5 minutes, but thank God we made it. 

 

Interview was very easy. Only questions were how I met my spouse and how our long distance relationship went.

I would need to see if he qualifies for it.

Question. In case we try an expedite and he gets denied it will affect the regular case ?

No, it would not effect your case.  You can request an expedite as many times as you want. It is free and through email.  You may have to email both the NVC and the consulate unless you know where your case is currently at.  Beneficiaries who are currently in Mexico seem to have an advantage with expedites, at least that is what I have seen on my facebook groups.  

 

I was talking to a NVC agent a few weeks ago (yearly call to keep our case open) and she basically urged us to try to expedite as she didn't expect the consulate in Juarez to open for regular interviews until sometime next year; Covid numbers in Juarez (and Mexico in general) are out of control.  

 

Sadly, we have no reason for an expedite  Our case closed in August of 2019.... we were expecting the interview this month.

Sorry to hear about the delay. Good that they kept the pasport. Do you know if they also hold off on issuing visa to others inside the Tokyo embassy the same day too?

No i don't, I'm sorry i don't have an answer for you. It may be possible that you will get a different outcome than us

A Judge struck down Trumps public charge law in 2 rulings. They said you cant ask immigrants those questions during a pandemic. They also said you cant be required to have healthcare. It applies nationwide.

I was planning on getting some kind of health coverage before the interview for my wife and sons but Now I'm wondering if it's ok to wait until they get here. If I do need to get something for them before the interview any suggestions?

FYI Open enrollment starts in November - you would have to wait until then to obtain health insurance.

Understood. Thanks anyway. Best of luck. Hopefully you guys will get the visa approved soon.

The agent at NVC told me to not apply for expedite. She told me it will put me in another line and nobody knows which line is longer.

I remember my interview 20 years ago in Moscow. It was so easy, they didn't ask much and I gave them all papers. Now everything gets so complicated. It is written on the website that the spouse doesn't need to have w2 since it was submitted but they want it. Really? I am not sending my originals abroad, it is not safe.

Yes. Everywhere different things are written. So unclear...

When did the agent tell you this? I was not aware.

last week because I was pushing her to give me some kind of the answer

I usually call weekly so probably I sounded desperately but she told me don't do it

The nvc rep probably didn't even know this. As far as I know nvc sends the request to the embassy and the embassy handles the request. What kind of expedite are you referring to? An interview expedite?
