Ok so my fiance's interview is this coming Thursday, so I filled out the support papers and got the necessary documents (tax returns, bank statements, etc..) and fedex'd it to her on Monday April 12th. Well what do ya know, the documents went to the London hub before being sent to South Africa and then I think everybody knows what happend next.. Yup, that's right.. Iceland's volcano erupted and all flights in Northern Europe have been cancelled for the last 5 days and nobody knows when they will resume! So in a mad scramble I scanned all the paperwork and emailed it to her so she could print them out and have atleast something for her interview. Does anybody know if this will work? Also, her police clearance still has not arrived. She sent the 1st request over a month ago but was lost in the mail as she did not get a courier service.. (YEA, I KNOW) She sent off the 2nd request March 31st and then contacted the Police Clearance people but they will not expedite the request because they feel an immigration interview is not important enough! I'm starting to pull my hair out. What should I do?

Asking the Embassy to reschedule is the most responsible thing to do. You have two issues to overcome. You might go into the interview and come away with just a 221g to get those two documents or you could get a denial.

The Embassy might understand about the I-134 because of the volcano but then again, you are supposed to have all papers in hand before returning the chcklist and requesting an interview date.

As far as the Police Certificate, you do not have as good an excuse as a volcano.

I would ask for a postponement.

Yea that's what I originally thought to do but we contacted the officer assigned to our case and he said that the interview can still be conducted without the police certificate. They will give a Yes/no answer to whether or not they will approve us for the visa but it will remain pending until the police certificate is submitted. So no big deal there i think. We are expecting it within a few weeks now.

The original support papers is what i'm most concerned about. I duplicated the package and resent it to her via email today and she will print it out tomorrow. I'm wondering if this will be ok?

They will require an ORIGINAL signature on the I-134 as it is an Affidavit signed under penalty of perjury.

I have never heard of a scanned, faxed or emailed signature being acceptable on an I-134. Maybe yours will be the first.

You have a few choices. You can reschedule the interview and get all your paperwork together before the next interview. Or she can attend the interview, not receive an approval but rather a request for missing documents which you will have to produce and then wait.

This volcano certainly messed things up but honestly, the consulate isn't going to give an approval with your missing information

Good luck.

My SA police clearance was late (they sure do like to take their time!) and I was given a 221(g) for them. Submitted it once I got it.. and voila.. visa approved.

No need to panic or reschedule. it just means a longer wait on the back end of it all.

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley
