where do i start. went to the interview on july 20th. got blue slipped. they asked my wife typical questions. what's your husband's name, bday, when was the fist time your husband came to vn. when was the 2nd time... anyone from your husband's side attended the wedding? who? and that was it. looked at the pics, phone records, and letters briefly. saw the tax paperwork and then, bam. blue slipped. they said your husband doesn't make enough to support you. for 2006, we submitted a w2 and two 1099. i think they just saw the two 1099's and figured i didn't make enough. so, took a look at the blue slip, just said something like it's not a bona fide relationship. sooo, thinking i just just need to resubmit my 06 tax papers, we sould be good to go. wrong. went back to the consulate and rejected. this was friday afternoon. so we had the weekend to figure things out. i felt since they didn't ask for any specific evidence i would submit the whole package again. come monday, that's what we did. picture, phone bills, letters, money transfers, etc. my wife went inside while i waited. we got there at noonish, five hours later, around closing time my wife out. said they lost our package. dam. can you believe that. they said to go home and they will call us when they find it. dam. what else to do but to go home. this was the 23rd of july. next day my wife calls the consulate to ask what's up, they say they haven't found it yet and not to call back for three or four months. dam. so i called, spoke in english, they said they'll call me when they find it. next day, i call again, they said they will email me when they find it. next day, just before i was about to call them again, they said they found it and we were approved. they will mail us an invitation to pick up the pink slip. so today we got the pick slip. funny thing was the pink slip was signed and dated on the 23rd. and we were supposed to have picked up the visa and the 26th. but i ain't complaining. thanks everyone for your support. i'll fill you in with more details later.
So, the moral of the story is ... Keep calling the Consulate everyday, bug the heck out of them, eventually, they will have enough and hand you the visa heheheheh 
Congratulations!!! So, what's next?

I like your attitude.... complaining will only drag you down further and does more harm than good... Congratulations!

After reading your post, it makes me so angry. These people in the embassy are a**holes! Come back in 3 or 4 months? Are they crazy? They don't seem to give a rat's ars about what their applicants have been going through for the last year! They are dealing with people's lives here! They are so cold it makes me sick.
Anyway, congratulations on getting your PINK. I can't imagine what you were going thru those days when it was first dis-approved. But you are finished now and you won't have to deal with those arsholes anymore at the embassy.
AGAIN...CONGRATUALATIONS!
