You have to talk to him. There's no fool proof method. You have to find out what happened and what they said and what he carried with him. This part of the process is really his responsibility to coordinate things and make things come to the final approval. He's got to pick up responsibility and work with you to get what he needs.

That's what I'm thinking. I think I sent sufficient documentation to prove it was ongoing. I don't know what he had, but he had over 200 pages from me, I had to count for DHL. I'm not going to sweat it, the fact is I sent him everything I had. And I'm not sure what they said.

The disbelief could well be based on his answers to interview questions. You need a detailed report of the interview experience. I'd also focus on your time-out in the middle of the process. How many times did you visit in person? When was the last time you visited?

We met while I was on a mission trip in 3/2006. I filed the petition in 7/2006. He went on another mission to Chile in 9/2006 and communication lessened as well as some other issues, my own and his own, it's challenging to maintain a relationship much less from far away as I'm sure everyone knows, I didn't hear from him for about 3 weeks but had contact with his father who said he wanted to continue but was broke and stuck in Chile, and we resumed regular contact in 3/2007. So, it was not a break per se from the petition, more that I didn't know what we were doing at all, I had asked how to withdraw if I wanted to, might be part of the problem. We were supposed to meet again in Aug in Peru, another mission trip, but there was a big earthquake there, airport was closed for a few days and he was having trouble with work allowing him time off, so unforeseeable events, we didn't meet in Peru and resumed the process. Now we're at where we're at now.

I don't recall but if you haven't already, I would express him a notarized letter from you to the Consulate reaffirming your intention to marry. You might want to include a brief description of the evolution of your relationship. I suspect the major issue is your call to ask about how to withdraw the petition.

I must say, at the moment both of you appear to be taking this all a bit to casually to give the impression of a bona fide relationship.

Okay, so I talked to him today and the problem wasn't the answers to the questions but he was very nervous. When we rescheduled the appointment he didn't receive that packet of his required stuff until like last week so he's been travelling across the country trying to get everything done. He didn't arrive in the embassy city until less than two hours before the appointment. He said he was very nervous and all they really want is more pictures. I'm sending letters from friends, more pictures and he's getting some stuff that he wasn't able to pick up before leaving for the appointment because he had expected to get everything faster than he actually got it. I think everything will be fine at the next appointment. I was just freaking out because I was unable to get a hold of him and had no idea what the problem was and to get stuff to him in time for the next interview I have to send it from here tomorrow. Now I know and it's all good. Not so much that I'm being casual but I have been afraid that the circumstances could cause a problem. He said the actual interview went fine and he knew the answers to the things they asked about. His nervousness sent up the flag, he thinks and I think. I feel like everything will turn out fine. Thanks for the assistance. There's always good information here and everyone is helpful.
