Were we deined the visa?

[IUTRTW 6]

Thanks to everyone for their input again.

I sent an inquiry e-mail to the consulate because it's been 2 weeks since my fiancee turned in her medical papers. But their answer was short: "we cannot predict how long the review will take. We will contact you if we need more info."

Does that mean the "medical" part wasn't an issue? The Doctor told me that everything is ok.

I'm thinking they're really verifying the validity of our relationship. How long does that take (on average)? weeks, months, a year?

[Ta Ta 1]

The medical treatment was an issue.

Now it could be one of 2 things. Either there is a backlog of resolved issues ( such as your medical ) and you are now at the bottom of the pile and your turn will come soon. There are others ahead of you with DNA results for example ..........piles of cases and now the resolved medical issue will

get filed until it is your turn to continue the process.

My fiance has to get DNA testing done and then go to Dakar for a 3. time for a 2. in depth interview after 9 months of AP/AR.

The AP/AR pattern emerging in Dakar is about 6-9 months. Of course each case is unique and therefore unpredictable.

It is impossible to predict if you are on AP again to verify documents, background or validity of the relationship OR if you are now simply

on the bottom of the 'resolved issue pile' and soon to be processed.

Continue to gather as much relationship proof as you can at this time in case there will be a second interview. You may want to email them and ask if a second interview will be required or if you are only awaiting the final processing.

Dakar is a very tough embassy.

[IUTRTW 6]

Still no word from the embassy. I can't take this anymore.

I'm thinking of contacting my congressman. Do you guys think it will make the embassy "talk"?

Is it a good move?

[Ta Ta 1]

You can do that but they won't give details. If Dakar gives your fiancee a second interview I advice you to be there.

Remember I have been waiting 9 months now. We are estimating the 2. interview to be in Dec or Jan and I am planning to be there.

This embassy is very tough.

Sorry you are running into this bump at this stage. I hope that things are resolved so that you and your fiance can be reunited soon.

To answer your question DOODLE: No I don't have any sores on "my didi" or anywhere else. Neither does she. I think there are no symptoms, like OMOBA said. At least I didn't notice anything abnormal. But i'm seeing my doctor soon.

Thanks

Personaly i would be concerned about who gave it to whom, one of you has been playing away in the recent past(< last year). Its pretty rare to get infected by some one in the late stage, And they would have signs of being sick with something. Plus the panel Dr noticed a rash of some kind, which indicates the second stage on her.

There was a time Javed had something in his lungs. the Dr would not give him a report because, of the calcuim there. the DR recommended he see a dr. once he went to the specialist it was determined his lungs were fine - he got clearance. he had all this gunk in his lungs it made the report look bad. so maybe the OP case is similar.

The OP is not asking for advice on sexual behavior as that is his personal issue. The issue at hand and the core of this topic is

the delay of the embassy after a completed medical treatment.

Accusations are off topic and in bad taste in my opinion.

Sorry but I think its very relevent, and advice may be in "in bad taste" in your oversensitive PC opinion, but if i found out my fiance had a STD I would be alittle more concerned about her health, my health and how it happened than you seem too be.

plus I think the VO might question the validity of their relationship, if there is a RECENT STD exposure, just IMHO

Anyone would be concerned and that is obvious, without you having to point that out so bluntly. It is not my style to accuse the OP

or his fiancee and oversensitivity has nothing to do with it , just general board manners. I am sure both have resolved that issue in privat.

Thanks Omoba!

As you put it, i'm here to opinions on an immigration situation. Not relationship counseling. (I would've gone to Dr Phill)

But to reassure any "sceptical" out there, our relationship is very solid

Anyway, I received an e-mail from the embassy today asking my fiancee to stop by with her "new Mauritanian birth certificate" (which we had already submitted with at the interview) . Is that a positive sign? my fiancee's theory is that they must be close to making a decision, if that's all they're asking.

Thanks again to everyone!

[Ta Ta 1]

A new birth certificate that has already been submitted ? Please explain, why ' new ' why another one if it was already submitted ?

What ' different ' birth cert. did they ask for ?

[Ta Ta 1]

Does your fiancee live in Dakar or did she have to make another trip from Mauritania ? How can she just drop something off without

a special letter to get in the embassy and past the guards ?

[IUTRTW 6]

My fiancee is from mauritania and that's where she resides. The e-mail from the embassy got me confused too. I e-mailed them yesterday for more explanation about the "new birth certificate". I'm hoping to get a reply tomorrow.

This is what their e-mail said: " Dear Sir:

In order to process your fiancée application, this office must confirm her eligibility for that visa. For that end we would like to ask your fiancée to submit her new Mauritanian birth certificate. She can stop by any Wednesday or Monday afternoon between 2:00 to 4:00.

Best regards,

Eligibility Review Unit. (MS)"

Why would they need another one? I have no clue
