Get past the bitterness and celebrate! Congratz!
Some people never get past the bitterness of being treated like damned criminals (without cause) by our own government. Was the couple even warned that this would be a Stokes interview? Was the consular staff of Guayaquil (Ecuador) transferred to Bucharest? Nevertheless, congratulations, si man.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

After about an hour of being grilled and hung up to dry - we were approved and have visa in hand !!

I am really upset by the process and what they put my fiance though - people be warned - here is ok to have met on the internet - but at embassy is not so ok - is sex site ?? did you meet on a sex site ?? oh must be a sex site ......I can not pull it up this means a sex site !!

Was BS - he was told all our chat logs, love letters, cards, pictures meant nothing - could of been done last night - it was no proof

he was interviewed alone - then I was interviewed after him

I was not given same treatment and is good I did not know what he had been though before my interview - because trust me I would of probably been in jail now

BUT we received the visa so is all that matters

PEOPLE make sure you have originals of any important docs - divorce degrees ( both sides ) birth certificates, etc and MAKE SURE your dates match !!

Congratulations and thank God you are done with the Embassy! True love wins again!

congratulations!! It will all get easier the farther you get away from your recent experience. I'm sure it was very unpleasant for your fiance.

Have a great time in London, and a wonderful trip into the US. It's so good you're able to be together for the interview, and to go through POE at the same time too. :star:
