Hey guys, Really good news today....My fiance got her visa from Delbros today out of the blue! She didn't get a text or anything saying they were sending it. I called them the same day it was release and they said there wasn't any news. I was planning on bugging the Congressman's office next week again :P We are so relieved and happy at this point. A pretty good suprise for Thanksgiving! :thumbs: WOW, is this finally happening?? :help: Anyways, i thought i would say thank you to the people who prayed for us, gave us help and encouragement. :thumbs: We thank God that our prayers were finally answered, maybe not in our time but God's time. ;)

i have a clerical error on my BC infact my first, last name and my father's last name. but it was already corrected last 2003 after i graduate college. ive read some interview experience here and some has the same prob clerical error but why consul did not put em on AR? now, m confused but honestly, i already expected that consul will take a look of my BC. just relax wats one month for em to check the record of ur gf in NSO. we dont have choice but to wait. good luck to both of us and lets keep praying only.

Sorry I seem to be such a weenie and don't want to accept another month or two delay in getting Lilia here due to a one letter correction in her name on the BC. It has just been so long already and such a fight with IMBRA, Waiver, and heavy waiting times for interview.

Lilia's birth certificate was spelled LElia. She had it officially corrected in 2004. All records, school, baptismal, college etc. are in Lilia. She has never ever used LElia. NBI is correct spelling as well.

My plan is order a fresh Birth Certificate from NSO and have it sent directly to the USE Visa Unit with Lilia's case number on it. Do the same with NBI clearance. Then at interview time in Feb, they already have the necessary documents in their file (directly from the source) to verify. Also I intend to attend the interview.

Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. But if it saves a month or two, it is certainly worth the effort. My frank feeling is that putting everyone who has a typo on their birth certificate on AR will cause a huge backup. I know there must be many.

If any of you go to your interview and are facing this situation (where there is any change at all on your birth certificate) please post it here so we can benefit from your experience. We are all in this together.

Thanks,

Rob

yes, the BC u should present to the consul is from NSO already w/ the cenomar. i think, even though we will present to em the BC frm NSO they still want to do their own investigation. the color of the BC frm NSO w/ the remarks of correction is "yellow"

Clestz,

there are 3 types of 1040 ITR's. whichever copy of it you have is fine, as long as you have copy of the W-2, to back up the reported gross income.

I have a question for everybody here...

Is the Embassy now accepting only the Forms like the DS156.... filled out online only? The packet 4 my Fiance recieved says nothing about this & She recieved it well after the Embassy announced they wont accept Handwritten Forms anymore. Should I have her do Both to be sure? I know it has much to do with the Barcode printing for Authenticity right?

My Honey's Interview is a week from Monday

Thank You in Advance.....

i have a clerical error on my BC infact my first, last name and my father's last name. but it was already corrected last 2003 after i graduate college. ive read some interview experience here and some has the same prob clerical error but why consul did not put em on AR? now, m confused but honestly, i already expected that consul will take a look of my BC. just relax wats one month for em to check the record of ur gf in NSO. we dont have choice but to wait. good luck to both of us and lets keep praying only.

I can only Imagine what you are going through!

Hey the Embassy has spelled my 1st name wrong on the letter to me & in Packet 4....I hope this does not screw me up at all... How do they expect us to get it perfect when they are busy screwing up spelling themselves!
