I am so pissed

[Ryan+Mandi 0]

I am just so pissed right now. My visa, was denied under section 221 (G). I remember someone telling me it was an actual refusal but yeah.

Our case started all the way from june of last year. Our K1 Visa petition was approved on sept. 9 2006. Took them 3 damn month to schedule the interview on the 12th of december. I didn't get my visa because according to them, there was insufficient funds. Even though their own official website stated the fund I had was all right. Then I submitted all the modified information with more funds, including of course a joint sponsor. That was fine. I was so happy that I knew I was going to get my visa.

HECK NO!! They wanted to see more proof of our relationship. I was so pissed but put that aside and then ask mandi to send over all the proof we ever had. They wanted specifically to see 20 engagement guests, well we didn't really have an engagement party it was more of a family get together and we celebrated our engagement on that day. They wanted to see vendor lists, which again I didn't have. They wanted to see postmarked cards and actual letters. I mean c'mon, we are in the day of the internet. I submitted all phone bills relating to skype and how she used to call me on skype from an actual number. Emails were submitted. I spammed them with photographs. I send them documentation showing that we had bought an engagement ring. Showed them documentation proof that we went to places together. I submitted all that and maybe more.

TODAY!!!! It has not been approved. According to the sheet, the consular officer was not convinced of our relationship and has therefore sent it back to the NVC. They didn't say they needed more documents. They cannot revalidate the case. NOW WHAT DO I DO?

I want to appeal this ruling or whatever they chose. I also want to sue the New Delhi Embassy in INdia for being utterly stupid. Everything f**kin thing they wanted, they got. Everything!! Now they're trying to screw with us and sending it back to the NVC.

Guys, I'm sorry if this post is offensive to you but I am just so pissed right that I ready to freakin kill all those damn consular officers. I need to know how to appeal this. Also I want to know how/when I can sue them, the US government I guess. I will be taking the aid of a lawyer this time.

wow! I totally am with ya on the rant! (Please edit your post toward the end where it states who you want to kill...I wouldnt want you getting into anykind of trouble with that) Yes by all means APPEAL!!! Please update us on what happens...I've never heard of a case being sent BACK to the NVC.

Oh no I don't want to kill anyone, haha, it just kind of makes you feel that way. Trust me, I'm not going to do that, it's just a saying really or an expression of how angry I am. Can you let me know how/where/when to appeal? I need information on that. I seriously can't believe this embassy is screwing with me.

Hello! I don't have all the answers for you but one thing that could really help is to contact your Senator or Congressmen and let them know what has happened in detail. They can be of great assistance as they have Immigration specialist that can help with your situation. I know that you're pissed off and believe me I can feel your anger and understand it. But when you contact your Senator make sure that your request for help is done and a very calm and professional manner.

I wish I had more solutions for you. But this one is definetely one you should consider. Hope this helps.

I won't be able, my fiancée would have to. We'll have to find that number, she's in the state of missouri.

I really believe certain countries are "Red Flagged" for various reasons.. and when your So's country is one of these Flagged countries.. they ask for a ungodly amount of proof..and make you jump through alot of hoops..Maybe they figure that if your SO only wants into the country they will give up early.. Who knows what goes through these monkeys heads..

Plus it sounds like your case worker..has a vendictive attitude..for whatever reason..

Whatever it is..It's not right.. to keep two lovers apart... Follow what others here have said..fight for hte love you have...and both of your future,,,

[Ryan+Mandi 0]

Yes, I know it's not right. I don't know why when people use the 'illegal' way of entering the US, they do so with ease really. When you choose the legal way, this is how it happens. It really hurts me and when it finally hits my fiancée, it will hurt her as well.

I live in Missouri too and I contacted Kenny Hulshof when our case was stuck in AR. I don't know if his letter to the embassy helped or not or if it was just a coincident, but he did get his visa a month later. http://hulshof.house.gov/ It really sucks people are put through this agony.

Well I did some searching and Mandi is in the 8th congressional district of missouri in Stoddard County. I think I'll have to find another senator, unless really senators can do it.

[Turboguy 6]

I think both Senators and Congressmen have immigration specialists on thier staff. You just need to find who is the ones serving your area and contact them. I went through a 221-G with my first fiancee and my congressman's immigration specialist was very helpful. We had the visa 2 weeks later.

[Ryan+Mandi 0]

So shall I wait on the consultation for an immigration attorney and consult a congressman/senator first?

[mybackpages 0]

check out the pinned topic in teh MENA forum on 221gs. There is some really good information on how to turn these things around. It's so discouraging and frustrating, but the good news is that everyone who has experience going through this in the Mena thread eventually had success. Good Luck!

[Ta Ta 1]

The best info on that is in the waiver section, forum 221 g, contact the menber Kiya.

I would suggest a consult with ellis_island, also a VJ member and knowledgable

as a lawyer in these cases. In addition contact the senator and congressman.

It is important to do all this before the petition is actualy returned, sometimes

it sits at the embassy for a while.

If you can get the ball rolling immediately you will have a better chance.

It gets very tricky with the NOID letter if it gets returned.

PM me if you want, I am in Illinois. I will give you my phone number if you like.

hi there..so sorry to read about your case....

ive heard that in india... they do ask for a formal engagement party wit many guests...bcoz the culture is such..our lawyer told us so..why have u guys not considered an engagement ceremony , with families, and exchanging rings..if that will approve your case..call family n friends and just do it and submit the info...if it vl help your case...and convince the embassy guys..hav a co sponsor for income ..

and send each other letters etc..i guess..it should work..

i know..it depends on the personal choices..but each country consular officer goes by the norms of that country...

all the best...it will work out...

take care..

What do you do?

Have Mandi come over. Get married over there. Have her return to the US and file CR1.
