Thanks Wanda. Have used a lawyer through the whole process and am currently waiting for an opinion on what our chances of a successful appeal are. From what I've heard Washington have only approved 2 appeals in the past 6 months so the chances don't look good. :(

i'm just sick for you, Rinkle...are you and your missus together or separated? that must be so hard....

on a cheerier note, i've spent loads of time in Toronto, and it's a great city...silver linings and all that :)

Hope you're hanging in there. Can only imagine what a huge strain it must be but you probably should launch an appeal. I know the stats are disheartening but someone's getting the appeals. Might as well see it to the end, right? A whole different set of documents may have a different judgement entirely. :mellow:

Well we got a RFE this week! They wanted to know wether we had our son and if so his birth certificate and then also what his medical status is. We had found out during the pregnancy that our baby would have some difficulities so they want us to update that status. So we have 60 days to return this info. Of course now we have to get all his medical records and so forth. What a headache especially since Christmas is right around the corner and everywhere is closed for the holidays....we will try our best though!

Not sure if this is good news or not? In a way we think it is because our case is still sitting on PENDING but now we know they are at least working on it! :)

I'm from Ireland, we got denied our visa, We need a I601 waiver because I apparently misrepresented myself before...dont want to go into the details.

From what I'm reading the chances of an western European citizen getting approved are slightly greater because of their home country conditions etc...

How can we explain why my wife cannot move to Ireland with me. The country is not that economically bad, there is jobs, dont have anything to do with the war etc..

Manda,

Tricky one. I had to go for a waiver due to a misrep charge also and the Embassy in London denied my waiver a few days ago. Misrep charges are difficult to overcome and I'm trying to get some advice on what our appeal chances would be ... have a call to a specialist lawyer in Boston tomorrow.

If you have to go for the 601 waiver get yourself a good lawyer and pour your hearts out in your hardship statements. I don't think we could have done anything more.

Good luck,

Nick

RFE IS A REQUEST FOR EVIDENCE....

THEY REQUESTED A BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND FOR BABY'S CURRENT MEDICAL SITUATION. SO WE ARE CURRRENTLY WORKING ON THESE THINGS...GETTING RECORDS FROM THE HOSPITAL AND HAVE THE DOCTORS WRITE LETTERS! :) HOPEFULLY ALL THIS HELPS.

WE KNEW THAT BABY WAS GOING TO HAVE MEDICAL PROBS BUT NOT THE SURGERY HE ENDED UP HAVING AFTER BIRTH. HE HAD TO HAVE A SHUNT PUT IN HIS HEART. HE WON'T GET HIS BIG OPERATION UNTIL HE IS 12-18 MONTHS NOW. HE HAS A LARGE HOLE IN HIS HEART AND HE NEEDS TO HAVE A VALVE REPLACED. ALONG WITH HAVING DOWN SYNDROME. HE IS DOING EXCELLENT THOUGH AND EVERYTHING WE COULD OF ASKED FOR AND MORE.

YES HE IS HOME AND CAME HOME 10 DAYS AFTER HE WAS BORN. MY PARENTS ARE OVER JOYED TO SEE THEIR NEW LITTLE ANGEL. PARENTS ARE VISITING OVER THE HOLIDAYS.

glad to hear Baby is doing so well...i am a nurse, and used to work in the Paediatric ICU at the Brompton Chest Hospital in London; we used to see loads of kids come in for similar surgeries, and they did fantastically well---they seem to get over things so much more quickly than adults...try not to worry---i'm sure Baby will do well :)

so an RFE is not a good nor a bad thing, really...you learn something every day---in the case of applying for a visa, every 5 minutes!!! LOL

Merry Christmas, everyone!!!! Next year in America with Hershey's kisses and carols on the radio :)

Well our fingers are crossed for you too! We got the letter from the doctor and baby Aj's birth certificate. Had appointment yesterday with cardiologist and respiratory consultants waiting for those write ups and then sending to lawyer and off to the Embassy. Hopefully they will answer soon after that information is with them. Hopefully we will know something by March at the latest so then we can get things in order here.

Any idea on how to get socialized car for the baby in the states. I know there is a excellent program set in place in Illinois where we come from but still curious. Baby will need heart operation in about another 18 months and want to know we have some insurance in the states if we get approved! Any help would be appreciated!
