Congratulations Mary!!!

 

We also were finally able to schedule our interview today, February 21st also for March 6th, early AM.  
 

The bad news is my 2 young, 6 & 9 yo stepchildren are still at NVC, DQ’d but not yet released to the Embassy.  We will keep trying to get them expedited but may need to reschedule wife’s interview or just let her go ahead and get her Visa now.  I’m thinking it might be foolish to delay hers but it might help to get NVC to hurry up.  Thoughts?

Congrats!

 

Just go on do your interview and probably ask the interviewer officer about your kids while your there.

My US Senator sent a message to NVC Tuesday Feb 21st re my stepchildren.  They were supposed to be merged with my wife’s filing back in August 2022 when I first go my Senator involved.  I can’t contact NVC because his office is involved.  My wife has her Medical Scheduled on this Friday morning.  Again we’re going to push forward thinking we’ll be better off if she goes ahead and gets her Visa rather than waiting.  If something happened and I needed to go to the USA for medical care at least she could come with me but unless there’s an emergency we won’t leave the kids behind.  Thanks to all for advice and support.

Chancy, Mary I finally filed a request to Expedite my DQ’d stepchildren from NVC to USEM as my wife has already been scheduled for her Interview.  I had asked my Senator to get involved and they contacted the Embassy to no avail.  Talk about government bureaucracy, the children are only 6 & 9 so they won’t really be interviewed yet the response my Senator’s office received basically goes like this: NVC holds the Applicants until the Embassy requests more Files and the Embassy can’t do anything until they receive the files.  Sounds like Catch 22, doesn’t it.  I should have filed the Expedite request when Chancy suggested but I didn’t want to interfere with the Senators office.  If I get nowhere here than I think my only resort is to call the Senator (25 year friend) and ask him to contact the Embassy directly.  Before becoming a Senator he was the Japanese Ambassador.  That’s a big ask even though we’re friends,  what do you think?  If it takes as long for the kids to get to the Interview as my wife I’m looking at another 3-4 months.  From DQ to interview my wife was 140 days.

I was just reading somewhere on Google that if the kids are younger than 16, they don't require to be interviewed? Is this right? Or I could be wrong

 

So sorry that you have to go through this. Now it's another waiting game
