Were we deined the visa?

As usual Dakar makes no sense. Tell me something, are they asking your fiancee for the 3. time to travel from Mauritania to Dakar ?

Once for the initial interview, then for the medical treatment and now for a ' new ' birth certificate ?

Why did they not ask for the birth certificate when she returned for the treatment ?

Do they think we are rich to run back and forth from one country to another to ' drop' stuff off that has already been submitted ?

What the heck is a ' new ' birth certificate " ?

My fiance had to make a second trip ( $ 1500 ) for the DNA test. Then he has to make a 3. trip for the 2. interview only to be asked to 'drop off'

more items at any time ?

Are these people for real ?

Guess what Omoba

My fiancee showed up at the embassy today to drop another birth certificate just like they asked in the e-mail. Well, she didn't even get to see anyone. A clerk took the paper from her at the entrance, went somewhere for 10mn,came back with the birth certificate and said " Someone will call you".

What do you make of that? They didn't even make a copy of the birth certificate, which was the whole purpose of her 800 mile trip.

I don't understand!

Did you ask if the birth certificate could be send per DHL instead of hand delivered ?

You are now back in AP/AR. They are continuing to review your case.

Call DOS again and ask for case status and get a congressional inquiry ...........keep making noise ! I believe this embassy is one of the most unorganized embassies and severely understaffed without the necessary resources to get the job done in a timely manner.

They process 7 countries and lose oversight of individual cases. I have gotten very mixed up email responses, totally mixing me up with other cases.

Stay on top of them, email them often.

We are waiting for our 2. interview now.
