Keeping Track

Zee Bee · December 18, 2007

Things seem to be moving much faster at the service centers now. Especially at VSC. Guess I should have timed my filing better. We were planning to file in February, but Bassi talked me into waiting until after I visited in May and I didn't come back until June, so hence the later filing date. He'll never live this down of course. Head of the house and all that jazz!

We were going to file in March but I had sent my passport to be renewed and could not find my birth certificate and by the time all that got sorted out it was May. Its a good thing though because I hadn't found VJ at that point and I know for sure we would have gotten an RFE.

So it all worked out for the best :yes:

DEECEE · December 19, 2007

Has anyone heard from Deecee ?

I was just wondering about them.

I just got home from Senegal this morning.

The result of the interview is No Visa, and the case was refered to their eligibility review unit.

questions during the interview

1. How do you pronounce your wife's name

2. Tell me how did you meet your wife

3. Describe your first meeting

4. Why did you come to senegal

5. How many children does you wife have

6. Tell me the ages of the children

7. How do you and your wife communicate

8. Do you have any photos to share with me

9. She read every card I sent to him

I was not at the window with him, they only wanted to talk with him.

Once she concluded she said unfortunalely we can not issue you a visa today, and gave him a letter. I tried to catch her so that I could talk to her but she left the window. We both were devastated and shocked. I could not think of what to do next. We just we home. After thinking for a while I decided that I was an American with a problem , so they had to speak to me. I tried to disect the letter and come up with as many questions as I could. On the next day we went back to the embassy. The consular section was closed. I resechuled my flight and went back on monday. Gave the clerk my passport, the clerk asked me if I had an emergency, I said yes. I got in. I went to the window for citizens. I gave my husbands case number and start with my questions that I needed an answer for. The person behind the window started to laugh at me. I told her none of this is funny,and I need something done now. She said I am not laughing at you but your question are too technical, are you a lawyer. she said I can't answer them. I said lady I am missing time at my job and I can't play with you now I neet to speak to the Chief Consular. She left the window and came back and said they would talk to you but you will have to wait. I told her I am prepared for that, and anything else that I had to do. I waited 3 hours. They pulled my husbands case, I asked what happened during the interview which made the consular question my husband's elegibility. He said, the interviewing consulars on notation was that the divorce decree for my husband was from Nigeria, and that they needed to verify the document. I did notice that they did not return his original divorce decree after the interview but return everything else. i asked what would be the process to verify the document. He said, we will send the document to the embassy in Abuja. I said, How long would that take he said lets hope not to long, I tried to get a timeframe and he would not give it. I asked what if time sensative doucents expire prior to them recieving their verification. He said, the documents will be requested prior to issuing the visa, and if they need more information taht information would have to be submited at that time. He then said your lawyer put the petition together very well so I do think we will be calling you for seconday information, we just need the verification of the divorce. I said in my mind we didn't use a lawyer, we used visajourney. I will be calling DOS to see if the Consular was telling me the truth and I will go from there. I think I am going to need some help with this process? Is everybody up for helping me out?

Good news is that it is not a denial. It does sound like you are on AP and in that case you just need to wait it out to let them do whatever it is that they do. Hopefully if it is just the verification of the divorce decree that they are looking into I would think that it should not take too long. It sounds strange though that they would need to verify the divorce decree if they have the original :unsure:

Definitely call DOS to see if they can give you anymore info.

Deecee you can see on my signature the mess I have been going through with Dakar.

I am not familiar with a K3, we are K1 but if you have any questions ask me.

Good thing you went back to the embassy and insisted on the reason why you are on AP. Dakar puts most applicants on AP for document

verification........it was 10 months for us, then a DNA request and finally a second interview in April.

I hope they get it done quickly.

I will give you my email address in a pm.

I was just wondering about them.

:yes:

I'm not sure if I can help, but I'm willing. Hopefully it really is just document verification. Although, as I'm sure you know, doing things on African Time can take awhile. I hope they get it done quickly!!!

That is a crying shame for you. Did they say the Nigerian consulate would verify the divorce. Sheesh it could sit there 4ever. Can you contact the consulate and let them know that the document is coming? Perhaps strike up rapport with someone there?
