Called the embassy a while ago. Actually, it was my husband who called first and was told that they have been trying to reach me so I called. I was asked to go back to the US Embassy this Friday, November 25, Window 70. I am thinking this is a second interview. Idk if the same officer but the window I was last time was window 60.

Before all of these, we asked help from the Congress and the Congress got fed up with what happened to us because she's been helping us since USCIS stage, since January. And thankfully, they schedule me right away because the Congress emailed the officer directly, she cannot take it what the embassy were doing to us.

Sis I was also instructed to go to that window 70, after that they took me to FPU room for another interview the same day after my final interview and made me sign a sworn statement regarding my children birth cert issue. After the interview, they told me to wait for their call... Our case is back to review status as of today and I'm praying and hoping that they will reconsider our case and reverse the decision cause clearly, we dont see any reason for them to deny us..

I'm confused. I saw in your status yesterday that you were denied. What happened? When did they ask you to go to Window 70?

Now we passed the 9th week in AR...they conveniently did not receive 3 faxes, one letter, my lawyers letter and G28 forms.

I starting to think the Manila Embassy is infested with crabs. For those who know what I mean.

Sis, I was instructed to go to window 70 the day after my final interview with the CO... It's true, I was clearly advised that our application is denied but they are performing another review on our case after my fiance made an appeal via calls and emails... I hope we will be heard... But I really don't trust them anymore... This immigration stuff put me in serious depression... I just can't take it anymore... I am just going to wait for my fiance and we will get married here...

We almost have the same type of NSO reverification, mine is only cenomar though... But, our case got more complicated after I argued with my CO. now he hates me and denied our visa application and just guessed a denial reason... (no serious relationship) :(

Sorry to hear that.. Just keep calling them and follow up. For all you know, your case is just sitting on their table and because no one is calling to follow up, they won't do nothing about it. Don't leave everything on your lawyer's hands. You're the petitioner, they will talk to you. Until you call them and find out what's really goin on on your case, nothing will happen...

Just to clarify Sis, I think I got u confused.. I was instructed to go to window 70 for further instruction. It's my CO who said just wait for my name to be called, and my name was called at window 70. Then from there I was sent to room 60 yata un. Sorry I really can't remember anymore..

Why did you call DOS? What's the number anyway? I have never tried contacting the US Embassy. It's always my husband, like one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Did they keep your passport? Husband also said that he keeps on talking to the same person everytime he calls.

You can call this number

The State Department's Office of Visa Services can also assist in status checking of cases which are unusually delayed. Tel: 202-663-1225 (Punch 1, Then 0, Avg. Wait Time Approx. 15 minutes to Speak with a Live "Visa Specialist", ET 8:30 AM to 5:00PM).
