Congressional Aid Response for K1

[SJordanS 343]

HI All,

 

So I asked my local Congresswoman to step in after hearing nothing for 2 months on our AP. She did and to my amazement got a detailed response.  

 

Backstory....So after my fiance had a very good interview back in September in Jordan and was told by interviewer "Everything looks good congratulations and have a seat" we got called to a final window where they returned his passport and said we will call you in a few days. That followed with another email saying we will call you shortly. Shortly turned into 2 months. Via email they requested proof of evidence of our relationship. Ok of all things????!!! That was the most obvious. But ok...we sent them the same stack we dropped off 2 week prior to interview and even more....chat logs, video logs, call logs, photos, photos with family, family statements and then some...I loaded them. He sent it them via Aramex. They said "Received! Give us 4-5 days". That was on November 5th. Congressional aid stepped in recently and sent them an email with a confusing reply from Embassy that read "They are refused under INA221g pending evidence. Once we are done Administrative Processing we will update you". The Congresswomans intern was confused. She said "I don't know what it is they actually confused me . You are either refused or under AP. However you submitted evidence 2 months ago". I filled her in. I told her we never received a 221g but I guess asking via email is the same? Never knew! At any rate, the evidence was sent in.  By the way interview questions were simple...just 5, same as the others, I know my petition was flawless. No issues.  Congress is sending another email today and will ask for clarification. However, has anyone in here gone through the same?

Well basically they have to refuse if you have not been approved so an odd wording bit not an incorrect one.

 I agree odd wording. That’s what triggered congresswomans office to send a second email. It’s almost like one canceled the other out

Your not approved (refused) till the complete file is adjudicated by the embassy based on all submitted documents and the interview. You're not denied yet but they are taking their sweet time adjudicating your case.

 

Don't be surprised if they don't speak plain English when you contact them the second time. They like to avoid confrontation hence the wording of the document that you just received.

Yeah tell me about it.  They did thoroughly reply to congresswoman’s intern though. She got more out of them than I ever did in the last four months. She did send another email because in some ways they contradicted themselves and their response so she’s going to try to get clarification. But at least I know what we’re up against. 🤷🏻‍♀️  Just wish our damn embassy would hurry it up...
