Wife & kids Aprroved!!

[TravellingNomad 12]

ok..so wife and kids had their interview yesterday. the wife said that the consul neither said visas were denied nor approved. but she was told to go to a window and the window was for releasing. clerk at the window said everything was ok because if there was something missing or if there was any problems, she wouldn't be at that particular window.

but it was weird. pre-interviewer wanted to make my wife get a new NBI clearance with AKA. he said name on my oldest son's BC was spelled differently. so she told him that we already got it corrected and proof was that the correction is notated on the BC. but pre-interviewer was adamant. at the interview with the consul, it was never mentioned and nothing else was asked for. i do think that the consul asked her a trick question. wife said when the consul saw the kids, she was asked if the kids were mine or hers. of course she wondered why consul would ask that but she said it was "our" kids. after that, wife said the consul was a bit more nicer. wife was asked why it took so long for the petition since we've been married for a decade, what i do for work, where i live and how we met. oldest son was asked what his favorite school subject, how old his brother is, and what's his brother's name.

only thing wife needed to show was pictures to the pre-interviewer. consul never asked her to submit anything else. now...just have to wait for the visas, CFO, oldest son to take his early finals and the month of February (when they will fly out here to be with me!). GOOD DAYS AHEAD!!!!

did she get a pink slip and pay for the visa delivery?

see that's the thing i don't get. i asked her if she got a pink slip and she said she was not given anything. the only thing she was given was a paper to take to the window. she said at the releasing window, they had her fill out some form indicating an address for delivery. and when she asked 2go as far as payment, she was told that the delivery fee was included in the processing fees that i have paid. that's why im so confused!

ok...i called the visa service desk at this number (214) 571-1600. the representative told me that if my wife was asked to go to the releasing window and fill out a form for delivery, it means that their visa was approved. the rep was also asking what kind of form my wife was given though. but she said since wife was not given anything that said visas were denied and was sent to the releasing window, we just have to wait for the visas and passports to be delivered. she did say that since there's a retrogression, it may take about 10 days for it to be delivered. rep did say that the application fee i paid already included the visa delivery.

what do you guys think about all of this?

Maybe the pink slip was used only when it was Air21 that they were using as courier. Now that it's 2Go, it's a white slip.

to OP:

oh i remember now..

when i did my interview, it wasnt a pink slip, it was a white paper like the letter paper size..

the white paper has writings on it about if they need something, i think mine was the NSO verification..

then i waited almost a month for my visa..

im pretty sure she's approved because they dint ask her to submit something else so CONGRATS!

Congratz on the approval!!!

Chazzie's fiancé passed his interview on December 1, and she posted here on VJ that the Embassy doesn't give out the famous pink slip any more when you pass the interview.

If your wife gave 2Go her address, then you know that she passed.

thanks everyone. it was a long road travelled...but like we all know, long roads end all the time because the cement/asphalt ran out

but i confirmed with the wife last night. she said that the consul never gave her anything (not a piece of paper and not a congratulations lol). what she said the consul told her after the interview was "wait outside for your number to be called" and when it was called, she went to the window where they gave her a form/piece of paper where she had to fill out for delivery address. she's not unsure but it either said visa delivery form or she was told to "fill out the visa delivery form". but the window she said was the releasing window.
