| Embassy Review : |
After going through the security area, and entering the embassy where the desks and interview took place, they asked me for a new passport picture because apparently my ear lobes needed to be more visible, which I thought it was a joke, but yeah. They checked my documents, I payed the fee, I had to have NEW passport pictures. and after 30 min I was asked to head to the interview desk, the Vice Consul, american citizen, struggled reading a few word from the oath in Romanian. Then we went on about the interview in english. He asked me several questions, I think more than 10, and at the end he told me there is a problem with my fiance's divorce paper ( My fiance provided a certified copy which he obtained from the court house where the divorce took place, document he had to pay for), the consul handed me a refusal work sheet and my passport telling me to bring the original divorce decree, because apparently the paper we provided, they considered was not authentic. although it was signed and stamped and was payed by my fiance to be legally certified, then congratulated me and said I can provide the missing paper and the passport as soon as I have the original divorce decree. Apparently they don't know the laws very well, the court house from Boise does release the original papers, but only copies and/or certified copies ( with fee). Only later I realized what actually happened, and called the second day to tell them that the papers provided were authentic, but the immigration person didn't believe me, and assumed they are printed in color by my fiance, and was talking down to me. Now we had to do the whole divorce paper only to have it certified again and apostille to be sure they will not refuse the divorce paper again. This issue they made us go through cost us another fast shipping fee of 200 dollars, and of course delayed our visa issuance and plans we had. They lack common sense and apparently are not aware of certains US laws regarding original documents. Very disappointing! |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
