Good Afternoon all, we felt like we should update VJ every Monday as we can on our progress to appeal to the consulate. Since April 22,2008 when we were deined our K1 Visa because the consulate officer stated he believed we were already married. Even though we provided legal documents that we were not married. If you like you can read about that on our memeber site. We did give the consulates office everything they wanted but they rejected our document because they said it was worded wrong. Then they refused to see all our other supporting documents. SO here are the steps we have taken to resolve our issue. We ourselves tried to request a review at the Juarez consulate. We also contacted our attorney to make a formal appeal and factual finding on April 28,2008. Then also contacted Congressman Cleaver and on April 30,2008 their office recieved a fax back from Juarez that they was going to review our case. We also contacted Senator McCaskill and on May 5,2008 we received an email from her office stating she would assist us with our case. We also contacted the media and on May 8,2008 we made front page news below is that link http://www.examiner.net/news/x1820415609/Trapped-in-paradise On May 9,2008 we spoke with the Mayor of Missouri Don Remial. Then today we were contacted by Senator Bonds office but miss the phone call. We are fighting hard for this injustice. We believe this can be resolved quickly if they just review our file, isnt that their jobs. We were approved for the K1 visa pending the interview with the same documents that we filed the I129f with. Except the Certified letter the CO asked for to state we were not married and we waited for that document to be Fed Ex to Juarez at our hotel. The document was on State Letter Head Notarized with the State raisied seal stamped on it. It was supported with contact name and numbers as well as a goverment website that is public record for the consulate to review this will show that no marriages has taken place between my fiancee and I. I am still in disbelief that despite all the eveidence we have showing we are not married that the consulate continues to deny our visa on their opinion. Visa Journey is a great site with lots of invaluable resources and adivices. We are blessed to have found this incredible site. Helping people help each other. Our Prayer is to recieve our visa and arm with the facts of our case so no one has to go through the nightmare we are living. Thank you for your support. Standing Strong, Chuck and Teresa
