We understand that it is important for you to be reunited with your fiancee. However, this office must follow guidelines set by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We cannot presently issue you wife because we have not yet established your eligibility for that visa. Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) prohibits a consular officer from issuing a visa to an alien if the consular officer has reason to believe that the alien is ineligible.





We will contact you if we need additional information or if we need to conduct an additional interview.

Sincerely,

Consular Assistant


How is this for embassy efficiency .... read the above.....they can not issue a WIFE....what a typo!
If it weren't so upsetting I would be rolling on the floor laughing ! Anyway, had a little chuckle
out of this one !

I should add that this was send to my fiance after he inquired about
the status of the AP. Gotta find some humor in this mess somewhere
to get through another day.

My name and address on packet 3 from the consulate in Sydney was handwritten. I decided that either

a) someone took their 5 year old to work and let them write on envelopes to pass the time or
someone had too many beers for lunch...

myself and my whole family fell about passing it around, no-one can believe I ever received it!

Oh, not to mention besides the dodgy handwriting, their was a spelling error and a wrong postcode.

Any other funny embassy or USCIS typos....post here !

You're lucky that you even got pkt3 with a wrong post code. The embassy sent me an email with an attachment of the pkt3 because it had been (and still is) over a month since they sent pkt3 with a wrong postal code on it---not even in the format of postal codes for Canada.

And, the emails that I have gotten from the embassy indicate a sub level of English for communicating. They read like grammar rules of another language applied with English words. Since I have a certificate in TESOL, I can see that they're doing quite well, but it's just not quite there.

"I was hoping that you receive your packet in mail"

Hmm, you mean "I was hoping that you would receive your packet in the mail"

But they issue paper husbands. Go figure.

I KNOW!!!! god bless our Australian postie...

What ever happened to the paper husband ...did he make it to the shredder ?
Or is he still orbiting in space as a folded rocket ?

Well, we cannot prevent human mistakes.
