Hello all. We had an interview on July 31st, was place on AP with no specific reason given, just that the case requires more review, they will call us when done. My patience is running out. What can i do?

I was in AP for 11 months 😔. The first time I contacted my senator they actually helped. It’s best to contact them after You past 60 days in AP. Haiti has no sense of urgency they will prolong the case until they forget about it.

For those of you who have been following my Visa Journey, keeping me in your prayers, & offering me words of encouragement; I just want to say THANK YOU. Especially the Haitian K1 Visa thread. I finally got the chance to see this wonderful update this morning:

 

 

My struggles with my visa journey are available to you in my previous posts on my page, but I would like to update everyone on how it concluded to issued. 

 

After following up with my congressperson around mid March to make a 2nd congressional inquiry, the embassy responded in 2 days and informed the congress to tell my fiancé to complete a new medical. The embassy let us know that they will be sending him another 221g along with his passport in order to complete the new medical and for him to send everything back through DHL when completed. This was on March 20th, it took my fiancé about a week and a half to complete his medical and send everything in. Embassy received it on April 2nd and updated my case on the 2nd, the 11th and the 18th is when my visa case status finally went from immigrant visa to non-immigrant visa. This morning it changed to issued. I am

so grateful and crying tears of joy because I finally get to be reunited with my loved one and this part of my visajourney is finally done! Now to worry about POE and AOS! At least my fiancé and I can do that together. Here is an quick recap of my time line;

 

9/19/2018- Interview went well but placed on AP due to embassy wanting to verify/confirm divorce info. I sent email asking them what do they need, if anything. 

 

9/20/2018- Embassy replied to my email asking for “submit confirmation of divorce to the national archives”. Didn’t really know what this meant since we provided them with our national archive divorce forms already, but we gathered the judgement of divorce and the newspaper announcement (customary of Haiti) of his divorce from his divorce lawyer since that’s all we have left to possibly give them to confirm the divorce.

 

10/9/2018- Additional divorce documents & passport sent through DHL

 

10/11/2018- Embassy received docs/passport. 

 

11/5/2018- my case had updated about 4-5 times in between these dates. 2 of the updates due to emails I sent the embassy and them responding. The date of the 5th is the last time the embassy ever updated my case up until I reached out to my congressman a month later.

 

12/5/2018- reached out to my congressman and they made a congressional inquiry.

 

01/04/2019 (Took a whole month!)- Embassy replies to congressional inquiry stating case documents are under review & due to security situations in Haiti they can’t give an estimated date of completion. Congressman tells me to follow up on or around March 20th. 60 more days! 😩

 

03/18/2019- Followed up with congressional inquiry

 

03/20/2019- embassy replies asking for new medical 

 

04/02/2019- new medical received by embassy 

 

04/18/2019- Visa status went from immigrant to non immigrant with new case creation date

 

04/22/2019- Visa Issued!

 

It took me 7 months in AP from interview date to finally receive my visa. 

 

I started this visa journey 2 years ago on December 29th, 2017 when I sent my K1 packet in to USCIS. I know we have a long way to go still but I’m so happy we’ve finally concluded this part of my journey. Thank you lord! 👏🏿🙏🏿🤗

I am so Happy for you 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾. I am glad you finally got through this tough time. God is able.

Good evening everyone!

 

I have been following this thread for a couple of weeks now.  I have gained a wealth of information.  My file in currently at the NVC.  I am hoping it will leave on September 17th.  Sending positive vibes your way as I know how stressful and nerve wrecking this process can be.

Hi everyone I just found this thread and hope someone can respond. Things are different from when I did my k1 back in 2014! 

 

I'm helping my husbands cousin.. They received an email of the next steps for document collection but it doesn't say anything about the medical. They completed a profile on ustraveldocs website and completed the DS160. I did a quick google search for Haiti medical and found this https://ht.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/iv-medical-exam/ "On the day of your appointment with the physician, bring your passport as proof of identity, the confirmation page of your profile registration when visiting the following website: http://www/ustravel.docs.ht"

What confirmation page are they talking about?!?!? 

 

Also- should she pay the fee at SOGEXPRESS  before or after the medical-or does it not matter?

 

Thank you!

You need the letter from the embassy to do the medical or profile page from ustraveldoc or the visa payment reciept.

The visa payment receipt (That goes to sogexpress) would suffice?  I’m not understanding what the profile page from ustraveldocs would be lol and it’s making me feel dumb

Yes, that is the visa payment. The profile is what’s called the DS-10 (I don’t know the exact name I’m going off the top off my head it’s been so long). Where beneficiary the would enter all their information. The one that’s supposed to be done in Haiti.  

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you! So the DS-160 confirmation page will do then. 

 

When submitting documents to DHL do you also send the I-134 Affidavit of Support? I don’t see that listed on the instructions from the embassy.

Affidavit of support is not needed, but i had my fiance bring it to interview with him just in case. These people are full of suprises.

I believe you have to complete the DS-160, pay the fee and then submit all your documents through DHL and they will call you and let you know when the interview is scheduled for. Not sure if there’s a new procedure.

Thank you for replying so the P3 is the same for everyone? 

I also read your profile we are in the same situation. I never knew the married certificate was required. When you sent the documents embassy never requested it until your interview. Did they ask for your married certificate as well. Lastly did you sent your fiancé original Devore paper or copy

What do you mean you contacted a senator? Do you mean a lawyer?

No your actual state Senator. For example Marco Rubio is one of Florida’s senators. He was an amazing help throughout my journey.

Correct. They asked for both marriage certificates for both my Fiancé and I along with his divorce certificate. I believe the person who is in Haiti has to provide both, they claim it’s to verify if the names change which I don’t understand how a mans name would change after a divorce. 

 

And we sent the original copies. They gave him back everything in his visa package when he was approved.
