What is our next step? We entered the US 2 weeks ago, and dont know how to get him a permission to work or greencard. Can some one please dirict our next steps? Thank you.

I dont know if Id take it, nothing can get out of the bottom where it is open, it really does look tampered with. How can I get this back to the Embassy? I live too far way..

Whats in the package anyways?

Hey! To all my contacts, sorry I havent been on, it was hard for me to see others get visas while we were in some administrative process for 4 months. (it was less but we never recieved word that the package had arrived to DHL.

Anyway, they sent the visa, with only 2 months to get to the states and the do not open package was ripped at the bottom, not entirely but alot.

They sent it in crappy conditions, Are we gonna get in trouble at the POE?

wow! that was fast! congratsª

The consul as you may hae already read wanted to issue the visa but the computer wouldnt let him click yes or no, and sent a 221g with Adiminsitrative Processing and said hubby wouldnt need to go back to Juarez but would get instructions in a few days up to two weeks on how to send in the passport to the embassy....

So, from what I read, AP is where you DONT ever want to be.... Any links I could read that would be benificial as to what my next steps are? I feel so lost in this now and the consul said there is no where we can call until we get the letter....

Ive been in this process for our ir1 over 3 years, this is just a slap in the face. We dont even want to live in the US, but since they have denied him tourist visas they told us we had to do the ir1 visa.... And now they pull this ####### on me.... So much money put in to this.....

Thanks!

Yes we gave both. Would that make it impossible for the consul to click yes on the visa approval, can the computer puck out who gets an AP? The dide was lime I wanna give it to you and tried a million things to get the comouter to work. It just sucks bieng in AP because its like i dont kniw anything about the case.

Ok to explain what happened to my husbands visa here it is.

The consul said yes amd only asked for the i864. He was very nice to my hubby and said yes, but e comouter wouldnt let him click niether approve or deny visa. So he had to give him a 221g and put administrative processing. He said not to call until we got a letter that will have instructions on how to send in his passport so they can put the visa in it. Has this happened to anyone. Im afraidk someone else at the embassy will acciedentally deny it even though the consul said yes.

Has this happened to anyone? This took place in Cd. Juarez mexico

Sorry that should have been the computer. The consul said the letter should be here in 3 days up till 2 weeks.

UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING thats what the 221g says, it is not checked on the denials, the consul said he does want to give the visa, everything was perfect but his comuter wouldnt let him accept or deny it.

yeah, hopefully the mexican call center can help us out, they suck at answering questions, many VJers are more quilified. HONESTLY! Ill peep in later and give the details.

From what I understand he just said we will send instructions to you so you can send your passport and get it stamped. They gave it back because he didnt want to wait the 2 weeks in Juarez, but they said we could mail it in. I think it was because my case was never sent to the NVC for some reason..... But it sounded like a yes, i let everyone know whats up in a bit when we get a better chance to talk.

Has this happened to anyone. He called it a Administrative Error and that they will send instructions to send the passport to the embassy in Ciudad Juarez in a few days and it should be 2 weeks before we get it.

Is this normal?

CONGRATS! My hubbies been in the embassy 8 hours and hasnt gotten out yet.

Definitely have been thinking of you guys today! I think he'll be alright. Think of it this way, even though you guys have invested a lot of time and money into this, worst case scenario they tell him not this time or not right now and he gets to come back home to you and his family the next day. Well unless... (insert nasty comment about Ciudad Juarez here).

Anyway, I'd argue that most people on this forum don't have that luxury. The absolute worst thing that can happen is that nothing will change and you guys get to keep living the good life in Mexico, which would probably be Gods way of telling you that you're good where you are. I really don't think that will be the result though and I bet he gets approved today. Good Luck!

Thanks! Its nice to have so many friends (even Efriends) worring! Well Ive mentalized myself. Well Ill let you know!

Its now 12:30..... trying to kill time but I cant, my heart is racing and im waiting for the answer...

Keep us in your thoughts this is taking longer than expected. WHY!!! Hes in Ciudad Juarez.

Man, I got married in Mexico in 2006 and it was a hassle and I really can't remember exactly how I got this. They asked for dozens of different things, but if memory serves, I think you can get this from your county clerk. It would be a good place to start in any case.

It is a hassleª

Look, if I were the Consular Officer I would wonder about you two. Your second cousins which is kinda close, and the fact that you are so young could look kinda fishy. But you never know, go for it, I see people on here who met online and only have seen eachother once get visas.

Thanks for the heads-up. While my wife has all her shots, she doesn't have vaccination records and we were thinking of getting some of the required ones before attending the interview since we could probably get them free if we try beforehand. Looks like we'll go ahead and pay what we have to pay.

zinker, its $4600 for everything and vaccines

Thanks everyone, seriously, I wish I could hug you! Thanks so much, I will send his phone number etc.... Hes old and doesnt use computers so I dont think he will be able to email me

I dont have a lease my dad owns the house and it is his, I live in Mexico with my hubby.

Mines tomorrow too! Good luck my friend!

Okay, so my hubby and I have gone over the ds260 so many times. And then TONIGHT; the night before the interview, we saw that it says we dont have a place we intend to live at in the US, but WE DO!!!! #######, now what? I could just cry we have spent so much money and now they are going to say no because of this. I wrote an attathemnt letter he is going to print off explaining this answer. Anything else I can do, help, Im crying, I ruined our chances.

Can you pay by creditcard or cash only?

Wish my luck, tomrrows the BIG day!

Im more nervous than I was at my wedding. This should be in K3 but I feel like more people do K1 in Cd: Juarez

I am sure you are right. I didnt know that could be done. How would someone show this intent in the best way? Can he just explain they will be living with her father at his house?

Thats what I wonder myself. If my dads address is on the tax forms then that would show it right? I would just think hed say we are gonna stay there until we get moving and get a job.

Do my kids and I needed to be counted on my dads i864? They ARE counted on mine.I only counted hubby. I sent a bank statment where it shows I have more than enough money to take care of us even though I dont have a job. (recently inherited a little money from a relative)
