Letter from Congresswoman

[Aquelunya 0]

Aguyel... any news on any new interview date for you?!

No, not yet, I emailed the embassy on Thursday and my Congressman yesterday. since its still the weekend now...I hope I get some answers tomorrow from the consulate at least, if not I'm calling them early in the morning so I'll let you guys know if anything new happens.

**sign*** The interview was supposed to be tomorrow....how sad it all is

my fiance got the call the day before his interview (1/2 hr before the embassy was going to close) to tell him his interview is cancelled. I sent a letter to my congressman (since they asked for my authorization form and proof of approval and an explanation of what happened) and i have been calling uscis nvc and my fiance has been calling the embassy. none of which are helpful cuz they dont know anything about where our petition is or what the imbra is. ughhh. we are in the same boat. lets hope it works out by this week.

I've been told by someone that us the petitioners should be the ones calling the embassy and all that good stuff, and that they will do very little if the foreign fiance calls. Plus I've been told we need to keep on calling and not stop!!! Its all a matter of just beating the system

This information I got from a woman friend who came to the US on a K-1 visa, who was not supposed to come within the 3 years after her visit here, but after her American fiance pestered and called, and begged and called,she was allowed to come, and very fast I may add. I hope this gives us hope too!

I'm calling the embassy in Israel tomorrow!!!! Unless I get an email reply from them first!

I have tried to call the embassy but it doesnt work cuz the # is only good for UK people. maybe from a landline it would work? i tried calling from my cell phone with a phonecard. i just hope everything works out this week.

I hope so too!!!!!!!

That does sound weird, I use a phonecard too to call the embassy, maybe you can find some way, I hope you do.

Good luck this week, as I think we are all hoping and praying for some change. I 've been praying everynight religiously, if anything it helps to boost my moral just a bit, I felt I was heading for depression.

it sucks to be so close to being with your fiance and then having the rug pulled out from under u when u least expect it on a subject u NEVER expected. I wrote to my congressman and I really hope he starts working on it tomorrow. I'll be making the routine USCIS, congressman's office, NVC calls every day of the week until i get an answer i like. My fiance will be calling the embassy everyday as well. good luck everyone!!!

Well calling the embassy does not help. It seems that they have just put our case on hold untill they hear more news from the NVC. The assistant just said to contact them gave me their number and she could not give any news about anything else and was not aware of a law when I did mention it. So there you go, I'll call NVC shortly, as soon as they open. Let you guys know how it goes.

been therr, done that

NVC could not help me, they said it is solely in the hands of the embassy, and they have not heard of any petitions being sent back to them. She said try calling the embassy again. I did, and I think I got the woman I had the fisrt time, who refuses to help or answer my questions!

I had to squeeze the information out of her and she would only admit to what I said. Then I said that this new law should not apply to me, and she said why not? It applies to all visas after a certain date, regardless of us meeting through a marriage broker or not. I"m pissed!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so wrong!!!!

plus she said to me again that the checks are going to be done by the NVC, the idiot! after I said I called them and they had nothing to do with the petition! I hope my congressman can help!
