Interview agent forgot fingerprints??

Hello, my fiance and I are getting a lot of mixed information from the consulate and I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this happening.

We had our k-1 visa interview at Juarez last week and at the interview the agent said the only thing they were missing from us was my (petitioner) long form birth certificate original copy. He said that's all we needed for approval, and we could send it in by post along with the beneficiary's passport, and then they would approve it and send back with the approved visa. He also told us to upload the original birth certificate to the CEAC website and gave us instructions (this didn't work, but that's a whole thing for another post).

So we send everything and it arrives at the consulate after 4 days or so, and then we get a call. It's a different agent, and he says the guy that did our interview forgot to have my fiance take the oath, so he's got to come back to the consulate to do that before they issue the visa. My fiance says no, he took the oath, so the guy goes and checks and sees that he did. And then he said well, we don't have your medical..and my fiance says he did indeed turn that in. So the guy goes and checks again and finds it. THEN he says well, the agent didn't take your fingerprints at the interview, so you have to come back and do that.

Then he says because it's an inconvenience, we can come back anytime/any day and just walk in and they will take his fingerprints and issue the visa same day. My fiance says "I can't get into the consulate without my passport because you guys have it" and the guy says he can show his voter ID and explain the situation and they will let him in.

 

So all in all, we are extremely tired and frustrated, especially my fiance because he has to buy another plane ticket and fly back to Juarez for what I'm guessing will be another interview. I don't trust them to be organized, so I'm just sure what we should bring just in case. Any advice or words of comfort is greatly appreciated 😞

Why don't you try to call the consulate? Everything you described sounds highly irregular.

 

Btw, what's your status online?

This whole conversation was over the phone yesterday, but I think I will call again to confirm what we need to bring. Status online is "refused" as of yesterday.
