Congrats fauji18 on your visa and thanks a lot for the answers!
That clears up all my questions. Cant wait to submit the application tomorrow with all their forms and see how long it takes for the fingerprints to come through. They already emailed my fiance saying to send our stuff asap so we can get fingerprinting appointment I can see the light at the end of this tunnel.

Hey Fauji, I was in the exact same boat as you. My fiance and i had emailed the embassy in november and december and had no response with multiple emails. I finally emailed my congresswomans office who i had kept in touch with occasionally, and she asked the embassy why my fiances passport hadn't been returned since we were also planning to meet in dubai in february and had everything booked. Within a few days the embassy emailed them back saying sorry for the confusion and in 2 weeks time he got the passport. They even called him and again emailed him to confirm it was sent out and if he received it. It seemed like the congresswomans office email really did the job.

Aisha you need to stop,OK? Carolyn and her husband waited 4 and a half years and you are raining on her parade. Be happy for her and stop whining about your case not being updated every day of the week. The embassy told you long ago to stop emailing them and you blatantly ignored them. Hounding them 24 hours a day isn't going to help you. Learn from Carolyn's grace and patience. How many times have you threatened to kill yourself in these forums? Suicide is no joking matter, how many times are you going to cry wolf? People have had visas denied for being mentally unstable, you need to stop. CHILL OUT!!!!!!
I apologize to other members here for my rant. I check this thread every day in hopes that Carolyn and her husband finally received their visa, and FINALLY today they did. Every day Aisha is in here having a melt don over not having her case updated, I am tired of reading it.
A big HUGE congratulations Carolyn, your patience paid off and hopefully this whole nightmare will be a thing of the past. Please keep us updated on his progress and when he arrives. I'm so happy for you both!!!!! Happy dance

You may want to have a friend or relative who speaks English to help you post.
I am sorry that she became table tennis.

CBP does not deny admission to people 'just for the fun of it'....the arriving alien has to give them a reason (it doesn't take too much of one)..such as ....not telling the truth to the CBP officer, when they asked her.."what is the purpose of your trip?..' or..'who are you planning to visit?'..and the answers given were, ahem, something other than correct...they may have inspected her luggage and found love letters or things that told them her 'friend' was something more than a friend...or other clues that suggested she was not being forthright with them...and such actions usually result in a swift U-turn back to the plane and back home...it's is amazing how anyone retelling the story of a denied admission of their spouse/fiance or 'family friend' (all one and the same!) always cast the CBP folks as the bad guys, whereas the foreign significant other was always innocent of any wrongdoing and only told the complete truth....odd I don't quite buy that as often as this story has been told...when the denied BFs or GFs (or SOs) get back home and on the phone, of course they are going to re-tell the story to make it appear as though CBP plucked them from the line of arrivals, whisked them to a dark room, beat them with sticks, threw water in their faces, made them sign papers they could not understand and whose contents were totally false....yep...happens every day...sure....what has usually taken place is that the arriving GF/BF/SO has given incomplete, innaccurate answers initially, and then, if taken to secondary, there is other evidence in their luggage, purse or other belongings that tell the true tale...the one that the unhappy American BF/GF/ SO never hears...I've worked alongside CBP twice (one day each time) in an earlier career, while they were screening arriving aliens from other countries, and they have highly tuned senses when they are working the line, sniffing out those who have other plans with remarkable accuracy....I applaud them for doing a truly thankless job..but their decisions benefit of all American citizens living in this country, and keep our borders much safer....and not just from terrorists, but from those who are trying to circumvent our laws...
