that token is a sticker they give u right? I know we have not waited as long as you for sure. Consulate there recieved the taxes i sentt o my wife. So I am guessing we are in that waiting period of whats next. I hope your husband recieves that magical phone call as my wife is supposedly awaiting for.

I am looking those who applied their cases with me in april 2006 they not only got their visa and now on adjustment of status and my case is going with tortoise speed. I got my packet 3.5 on 07 december 2006 and i send the documents to embassy on 18 december 2006 and i m still waiting for my medical and interview date

I was knewing that embassy will ask me that i need joint sponsor so my fiancee send me joint sponsor before they ask me and i email the embassy that i got joint sponsor with me u want me to send it to u or u want me to bring it at the time of interview becoz when i send my documents on 18 december 2006 that time i didnt send.

The embassy email me back NOT A PROBLEM U CAN BRING IT AT THE TIME OF INTERVIEW and when i got a call from amex to collect the documents i was happy that i got the interview date but to my surprise i got a letter from the embassy that your documents are deficient and need joint sponsor.

I already ask them before that no need to send it and now they saying me your documents deficient i wanted to send it through amex but embassy itself reply me NOT A PROBLEM

The embassy reply is as follows

Tue, 9 Jan 2007

Dear Sir/Madam,

Fri, 9 Feb 2007

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please resubmit the required documents in order to schedule the applicant for an interview and so sorry for the prior email as due to new procedure we are unable to schedule the applicant until we receive every document from the applicant.

Thanks

IV Unit
