Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
My fiancee had his interview Aug 31st. I emailed the consulate prior to the interview to ask what to expect after it, if it was the last step, or if I needed to be prepared for something else. Their reply just said that the visa would be issued by mail. Fero said his interview went well. He didn't wait too long. The woman that interviewed him was friendly. She congratulated him and told him his visa would arrive in 3 days.
Ferhat is a very thorough person, very detail oriented. He thought he might need a name clearance because he'd needed one when he first came to the US on a J1 visa. However, when she didn't mention it, he was very relieved.
SUPRISE!!! His passport was arrived with no visa, only a paper with a box checked that said administrative processing, and another box that reminded us that his medical exam would expire within a certain amount of time. He'd already given his two week notice at work. I'd been skipping around and smiling all week. Now this! It was a very cruel joke.
I woke up at 330 am to call the embassy and ask what the heck happened, and I had to call 5 times before I was ever able to speak to anyone. After the third time of not getting through, I didn't press the buttons when prompted, and let the receptionist answer instead. The witch was RUDE and yelled at me and told me to keep on calling. She was totally insensitive and hung up on me when I asked for her name. After not getting through on the 4th time, I pressed the button for Amer Citizen Services and this lady patched me through.
I hate this embassy. It really all comes back to the first lady not telling Fero about the AP at the interview. WHich of course, is not the way it reads in the notes. I just hope this AP doesnt last much longer.
