Hi VJ's! Anyone here had been to the FPU after your interview wth the CO? During my medical exam at St Luke's I admitted i tried drugs 3X month of April and May year 2003. Was out of curiosity and friends influence.Since then i never try any since i know it doesnt give me good at all...During my interview the CO asked me about my fiance's name. age,work,how many times we met and lastly he said if i tried any drugs since then i said "No Sir". He looked at my 50 photos taken from the Philippines and Thailand and my 2 inches thick chats. After that he returned the pictures and chats but keep my passport and he told me " we are not quite done yet, we need more information from you regarding ur admission on ur past drug. Just set at the corner and wait." I said Ok, thank you Sir. It was just 3 mins interview. My name called on window 34 got a white paper written proceed to Room 1206 at 1:30pm. While at room 1206 filipino guy came up to me, didnt know he works under FPU.Told me we dont have enough time he asked if we can make it tmrw at 8:30am i said "sure sir" and he told me to bring my sons death certificate.Came back 8;30am but he left already and the guards told me i was late 10 minutes, i apologized, one guard phoned room 1206 if they would still let me in since i am late and maybe the person on the line said yes. So guards let me in. At the room 1206 the girl told me that the guy who supposedly investigate me has an emergency meeting, so she just asked me to submit my sons Death Certificate and said come back again tmrw same time. Went back nxt day and finally he is there at the lobby picked me up and brought to FPU room. Long story short he is an investigator. We spent 3 hours at the FPU. After investigating me he said i just wait a letter or a call from embassy.....I don't know if i have still chances to get approve. My fiance and I still hoping and praying for my case. God help me.

I know that in fact the CO will return the passport right after the interview. Just wondering why they still have my passport and its been 5 weeks already.

have you tried to call the embassy and find out why they still have it? Did you pay the Air21 fee when you went to the embassy for the interview?

[JORDANTONI09 10]

Call the Non-Immigrant Visa section. Dial 3012000 - wait for the voice prompt - press 7 - dial 5184 or 5185 immediately followed by #. Call to check the status of your case. The reason why your passport was returned was because of the information you disclosed. Applicants who receive a white form get their passports back after the interview due to a lot of things. I got one because I lacked a certain document. Yours is a different case.

Did you read the pinned thread by NinJones? The last person who posted there shared her thoughts about divulging past drug encounters at SLMEC. I know someone who was sent to the Fraud Prevention Unit (it wasn't drug related) and she was approved after two months. Your case is under investigation so call the Embassy and ask about the status.

They did not gave my passport back after the interview, consular keep my passport.My fiance called USEm last week but the girl on the line said there is no status on my case.So she wrote a report forwarded to consular section saying that the petetioner called bla bla bla. She said to call back after 2 weeks if we hear back from the embassy still.I heard one girl had an issue same as mine and she got approved i just dont know the exact stories coz she did not detailed it. I am hoping they let will let me know soon if they would deny me so we could plan the nxt step like apply for a waiver if am qualified.

No i did not pay the Air21.

It has been more than two weeks so call them again and again and again. I read a post in another forum on VJ. I think it was the Consular Discussion area. After admitting to drug use, she had to sign a waiver then after 2 years, she called to the Embassy and she was granted a visa. She didn't have to pay for the $500+ fee anymore. Talk to that girl you just mentioned since your case similar to hers anyway.

From what I have seen and read over the years.

If you admit to drug use during your interview or medical in Philippines your Visa will be denied.

I don't know if i have still chances to get approve. My fiance and I still hoping and praying for my case.

This has to be so devastating to go through. I am so sorry for your situation.

No advice to give. I just feel awful for you. We had some immigration trouble (minor compared to this) and if it hadn't worked out I would have moved to the Philippines to be with my wife. I just hope the two of you can be together, regardless of where.

I know that...... but everything is in the hands of the CO. There were girls that i have same situation as mine and they got approved after couple of months. My question is why would the CO keep my passport if i am denied already.

[JORDANTONI09 10]

Since the consul sent you to the fraud unit and didn't outright deny you then your case is under investigation. I assume that the Embassy is holding your passport until they come to a decision on your case. Just follow up on it and tell us how it goes. I hope everything works out for you.
