Hi guys

Just to let you know that we are in the USA since January 31 and everything went smooth at POE, we just missed our connecting flight and had to wait 2 more hours. We are all happy together.

Hope everyone is fine,

Good luck :thumbs:

Bad News. My wife just noticed today that window 37 after her interview handed her a MNL-IV-22 with a check next to the words, WAIT UNTIL YOU HERE FROM US:

The top states We are unable to complete the processing of your immigrant visa application (under Section 221(g), until you present the following documents:

No documents are checked. I have spent almost 40 minutes in international calls trying to reach USEM only to be told they were closed.

Thanks pkewl. I have a pretty good hypothesis of what is the cause of the delay. I posted it in my Approved K3 thread to try and keep the positive spirit on this thread.

wow, I'm so sorry this is happening Edp....I can't believe it. Did they say why? Can't you just send the documents and then get her visa?

I hope this matter is solved quickly, I really do. It is not fair they are doing this. just keep your spirits up and stay positive, I'm sure it will get straightened out. Look at our Friend Divine Mercy, after the hell she went through...she now has an interview date!!!

By the way, CONGRATS Divine Mercy on your interview date!!!! Best of luck to you and I hope your family will be reunited very soon!!!!

Divine and C & J,

Thanks for asking, and caring,

Well, here is the update...

My wife went to the interview 15 before the interview, waited for about an hour and then got her turn to the pre-interviewer where she asked her for the documents and some general questions like what do you do? what do you study? are you going to take money with you?...etc then asked her for the fee receipt, she told the lady that she hasn't pay the money yet and that we thought it's after the interview or at the embassy, but informed her to go out and try her best to make to the bank to deposit the amount then come back to go to the real interviewer, so my wife run and did just that, and when her turn came in for the interview, it only took 10 to 15 minutes and everything went fine, until the last question, which was when was the last time you saw your husband (we haven't seen each other for over two years) she said 06 in error then quickly said "no 2005", then they said nothing and they asked my wife to wait, and half hour later they called her to the first window where she had her pre-interview and the lady told her we need 4 to 5 weeks, and you have 2 options either to give you an appointment for 4 to 5 weeks from now or we can send you the passport through express mail, my wife picked the second option since she lives in a different city, but my wife wants to know what was the result for the interview, they give her no answer beside little smile and saying I don't know but hopefully you are ok.

What is that? I called the embassy to see what this mean, could not get hold of any body, took the day off just to keep calling today and I will call then again in 2 hours from now.

I don't understand this, if we got the visa it should be given to us the same day or the following day, not 4 to 5 weeks, and if we are not to get the visa why don't they tell us that.

I hope everything is ok, I am about to go crazy right now, and I think I am going to go off on them over the phone :angry:

[...Life without my WIFE... Like fifty without FIVE...=0]

Wintime,

Was your wife given any sheets of paper after the interview? If she wasn't, then that is a good sign. Some embassy's do not tell the applicant whether they are approved or not on the day. 4-5 weeks is a long time but it may be normal for your embassy. You might want to check the regional forum for the embassy and ask if this is a normal response to the interview.

I hope for a speedy, positive resolution for you :)
