So you believe that it will be issued as it says Approved on the CEAC? Thats awesome to hear.

Just checked the CEAC website and the status has moved to Approved The following is what was written Looks like we are just one step away from my Fiancé obtaining the K1 Visa which has been a almost 2 year process. Keeping our fingers crossed and saying our prayers. I am hopeful that whatever they do during the final review as stated here " However, a final screening step must still be completed prior to issuance that could lead a consular officer to conclude that you are not eligible for a visa", is just a mere formality. Hoping that we hear good news in the next day on the CEAC site.

Just looking at the CEAC it shows and I am sure it showed Immigrant Visa Application prior to this, because thats how we sign into the CEAC now by using the Immigrant tab, prior to that we used the Nonimmigrant Tab to sign in and had to select a location, but under the Immigrant tab there is not that section. I logged on using the Immigrant Tab. Wondering if that means something or not

Just checked the CEAC this morning and the status has changed from refused to Application Received. Does anyone know what this means? The interview was already done and as stated above in another post they have her passport. We are now starting the 4th week after the Interview was held and she was initially approved.

Requested Document translated and sent to the Embassy by EMS mail on Tuesday afternoon. Sent an email to the IV Unit section handling her case advising them of the tracking number and including a scan of the translated documents. Yesterday, the IV Unit responded back indicating the receival of the e-mail and the original mailed documents were also received at the Embassy. The officer responding to the e-mail indicated it could take 3 or 4 days for them to receive the actual documents after they had been processed. The e-mail said this: "Please be advised that our mail screening process takes a few days and it is possible your document is en route to our office" "Once our office receives and completes reviewing your documents, we will be in contact with you directly in case we require any additional information/action from you" This is what I had asked about in an earlier post as far as them asking again for more documents. It is a little disheartening that they would not have asked for everything at once if they needed more.

We were able to have the Village Chief, with the only family member still there in the village, to write a document indicating my fiancé was from the village and with her identifying information listed in the document. The Village Chief then took the letter, along with the family member and the paperwork we had sent, National ID card scan, Passport scan down to the Myanmar Police Force station in Hlaingbwe. The Police commander issued a Police Certificate of clearance after looking through the records, of course no criminal history as she has been in Thailand since she was 13, and the document indicates she is free from Criminal Offenses. We just picked up the documents from a courier (Family friend) who was in the village at the time, lucky for us, and has just returned to Thailand. The documents are now with a translation service. We will pick them up and mail to the US Embassy in the next day or two. Also going to mail the Village Chiefs document as well as back-up since it also lists who her father was and has her birthdate on it. Keeping our fingers crossed that this was all that was wanted.

Mike, the affidavits were from her mother and aunt. The originals of all documents were returned after the interview and they kept all of the copies. Each document in her file she carried had copies attached to them including her Thai police certificate she gave them as she has lived here since she was 13. My guess is they could not verify her as living here that long as her documentation we gave them only goes back 10 years. Yet that was all the paperwork requested on the I-129 and the DS-160. She also has a half Thai born daughter who is now 9 years old but lives with her Thai father and not us. The father is Thai and has filed paperwork to have her live with him until she is 18 and go to school here in the country.

No Birth certificate. Never had one. Translated and certified copies of the Myanmar National ID Card also notarized by an attorney, 2 affidavits of birth from family members which have been notarized as well by a notarial attorney, and an affidavit signed by the Village chief indicating the same and that no birth certificate was ever issued. Her National Id card has the same information a birth certificate would have on it, year born, parents names, location etc. No one in her village or the surrounding villages was ever issued birth certificates, not born in hospitals, born at home and registered on the house registration document which we also had translated and certified, all of which the Embassy was given. She has lived in Thailand for 16 years since she was 13 years old. Only visited Myanmar once for 2 weeks to obtain an updated National ID card and New passport back in 2017. New passport obtained last year here in Thailand at the Myanmar consulate in Chiang Mai. Her paperwork was checked initially and approved, and she was then given her interview. Others whose paperwork was missing something were sent back out the door and not interviewed. After her interview she was told she was approved for the Visa and it would be mailed back after inserting it into her passport. It was not until the next day they called and asked how long she had lived in Thailand, and then 1 week later they sent the follow-up 221 G e-mail requesting the Burma Police certificate. I find it disingenuous that they would just keep on asking for more stuff each and every time after something was provided. If they needed documents they should ask for them all at once so they can be obtained and submitted at the same time. Just my view.

A question for the others? We received the information requesting the Burma Police certificate and in the subject line it said 221g Police certificate request. There was nothing else asked for in the e-mail. So my question is this: "Would they have asked for anything else if it was needed, or is the only item they might have been missing" I would find it really irritating to supply the requested document, which is in processing now with the Police center thanks to a family member who we sent the information too and the Village Chief, and then receive another e-mail asking for more items. They would request all items under 221G at the same time correct?

Under control of the Opposition, The main town needed to travel to is Hlaingbwe, in Hpa-An.

My Fiancée's K-1 interview was on June 29th at the US Embassy in Bangkok. She is from Myanmar, but has lived in Thailand for 16 years. She obtained a Thailand Police clearance which was submitted with her package and given to the consular officer on the date of her interview. She was told her visa was approved after the interview, but then was called the next day and asked about how long she has been living in Thailand. Today the consular officer e-mailed, and it appears she is now in 221G administrative processing. They requested a Myanmar (Burma) Police Certificate, which the only way to get is to travel back to Myanmar and apply in person. With the current issues in Myanmar she would have to travel through technically a war zone to get to her village, which is not a Burmese village but a Karen village. We are trying to see if a relative still there can obtain one at the nearest Police center which is a 2 hour drive from her village, but as of this morning have not heard back. Does anybody have some information on how she could get the police clearance without risking her life to do so by driving back into Myanmar.
