I am so so sorry this is happening! I agree with lucy4 though, keep calling and bothering them. They are very moody over there... and it's sad to say but the do deny people just because they feel like it... I have had friends that have been denied for different visas over there for no reason. Keep strong and keep fighting it

You'd think that working in a tropical island, people would be nicer. Oh well....thank you though, Empress. We are keeping the faith, hope, and we will keep fighting this.

I just wanted to update everyone that the CO finally replied to my emails this morning stating: "The officer was not inclined to issue the visa and needs to talk to the petitioner regarding her relationship with her fiance. We are requesting an interview with the petitioner before the visa can be issued. Please make arrangements to come to the Embassy." YES!!!

My interview is set for June 11th. My fiance and I will go to the embassy together and this time, I am armed with about 3" worth of evidence which includes ALL my cell phone bills, the phone records I requested from the online site I've been using which shows the date, origin #, destination #, and the duration of each calls I made to my fiance. I will also bring letters of support from my friends and my father.

Things are looking so much brighter for us now! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers and wish us luck!

I'm flying out to Vancouver in two days for ours and then we are taking a vacation and then I'm visiting my parents so I will probably not be on line for the next two weeks. Soooo....

Good luck to everyone with interviews coming up soon. And in case I miss anyone's post telling us they were approved, congratulations.

"Was not inclined to issue the visa?!?" What a crock! Oh well, I'm sooo relieved that they are giving you a second chance at the interview - I'm sure your persistence will convince them this time around. Extra big good luck LuciansGirl!!! :dance:

Thank you everyone!

I kept praying that we'd get another chance to prove them wrong and we finally got the chance. Honestly, from the lengthy email I sent the CO, I'm sure he knows that he probably made a mistake but with me going there on a moment's notice will be proof...along with the 3" thick documentation we'll be bringing with us.

Prayers do work and God is good!!!

Lucy, I've never been to Barbados so it will be a nice pre-wedding getaway for me and my fiance. I'll be spening 8 glorious days with him and I'm so happy we're gonna see each other soon!! :)

I'll keep you all posted.

Well we did it ... almost 8 months, lots of frustration and a hellishly long 3 hours in the embassy and we are out the other end.

To be honest, it hasn't even sunk in yet. We are so tired and stressed from the whole affair that when we got back to belfast last night we just went to bed. I think it will be a few days. When we get my passport back then we will celebrate.

My sincerest thanks to EVERYONE here. To those that helped answer my dumb ### questions to those who posted the guides and to the genius hat set up this site. Without it we would have been in the dark vis a vis a lot of the pitfalls and issues at hand.

And for those of you that haven't made it yet take heart. Just over two months ago we were still waiting on NOA2, It's coming for you soon and when it does your feet won't hit the ground until you get that visa.

Now, I'm off to write my resignation letter ...

i-710 Process

02/23/2011 - Mailed off i-751 to California

02/25/2011 - NOA1
