Shi-Long Lang

Thanks for the responses!  I feel a lot better!   I do not wish ill will on her.  I wish her the best of luck... regardless if it's here in the USA or in her home country.  I was just worried that this might come back to haunt me somehow.

Hi, everyone.  I have a really unusual question.  A couple of years ago, I brought someone to the USA through a K1 finacee visa.  Unfortunately, it didn't work out, and she wanted to return home.  This happened before we were married.  However, even though she maintained contact for a little while, she' been acting strangely since she left.  She's been extra secretive.  I happened to stumble across a new Facebook page of hers that shows her in the USA.  At first I thought she just managed to come back... but now that I think about it... I'm wondering if she never left in the first place.  Her flight back home included one stop within the USA.  I'm thinking it may be possible that she decided not to board her connecting flight and never went back to her home country.  So... now I wonder what legal impact that might have on me if that is the case.  Should I be concerned?

Thanks!

If anyone is interested in what happened, the short version is... I won.

The long version... I contacted a congressman about the double payment, and they requested that I send any documentation I had. I sent every single document... my receipts, the letter telling me that I CAN pay online along with the date/time stamp... and the letter I received AFTERWARDS telling me that I CAN'T pay online with the date/time stamp. They investigated, and today I received a latter from both the congressman and the embassy saying that I will receive my money back for one of the payments.

However, the embassy's letter claimed that my fiancee did not provide proof that I had already paid online when she arrived at the embassy. I wrote back to the congressman thanking him for helping me in my situation... but also to set the record straight. I told him that the embassy's letter was incorrect. She brought printouts of my online receipt and a printout of the document saying that I can pay online... but the embassy refused the documents, saying that they do not accept online payments.

They should have just given me the money back from the beginning.

Thanks for looking out for me, Penguin_ie! I didn't know I had posted my full name. If you are talking about Shi-Long Lang... that isn't my name. It's actually a name of a somewhat obscure character in a somewhat obscure game: http://aceattorney.wikia.com/wiki/Shi-Long_Lang. My avatar is from the character as well. I couldn't think of a good name to use on the forums, so that is what I picked.

As for the double payment, the last I heard they are still claiming it is non-refundable. I understand that would typically be the case, but it seems a bit unfair to me to tell me that I can pay online, then tell me after I have already paid that they don't accept online payments. In order for my fiancee to go to her appointment, she had to pay a second time at the embassy I believe they need to update that message they send out once you complete the DS-160... it tells you to follow the link to find out how to pay for the interview, and the link says you can pay online. If they are sending this out with every completed DS-160, it will cause a lot of confusion!

Thanks for the responses! I am a little angry about this. They don't want to give me back the money I paid at the website. They are claiming it is non-refundable. I am trying to fight it out. I told them that I have been mislead. The embassy gave me a link to their website, and told me to look there for information on how to pay. I paid via the link on the website, and was told AFTERWARDS that they would not accept payment via the website. So I had to pay TWICE for one interview. I don't see how that's fair. I'm tempted to go to my credit card company and attempt to dispute the charge.

As for my timeline, I will do so. I am from the USA and she is from Panama. Thanks again!

You do not pay for the Ds-160 but the visa is $265. And you can not pay for it online. Did you look up how you must pay for it. Where you must pay for it? Cause it can't be paid online. That's why she was made to pay for it. I'd suggest you find our where that money went

Thanks for the reply, Nat-no! Here's a snippet of what I received in an email after filling out the DS-160 with my fiancee.

Hello everyone. I have a question about the fee for the DS-160 and the interview. I am thinking these might be the same thing. We were told to fill out a DS-160 form before the interview. After we submitted the form, we received an email with a confirmation and a link explaining how to pay for the DS-160 to be processed. The processing fee was $265. I paid the fee online at ustraveldocs.com (the site that was linked in the email) and printed the receipt. However, when my fiancee went to the embassy for her interview, she was told that they wouldn't accept the receipt, and charged her $265... saying this was the cost of the interview. Is this correct? Does the DS-160 and the interview cost $265 each? Or did was just get double charged? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm guessing I'll just add the information for DHL, and replace the DHL contact name with her name on a separate sheet of paper.

Also, anyone know what to do for the G-325A if she has no information on her father? Can we just put "unknown" or leave it blank?

Thanks!

I'm thinking the first line is the name of a contact at the company, and the second line which contains the building name goes in the street field. But then I still wouldn't know what to do (if I do anything) for the postal code.

Thank you, but that's not my fiancée's information. That was copy/pasted from the DHL site. This is supposed to be contact information for the company where she picks up her mail.

Hello,

I am new to this site and I'm trying to fill out the I-129F form. My fiancee lives in Panama, and she says they do not have have mail delivered to their houses. She said they go to DHL to retrieve their mail, and then gave me the following information from the DHL website:

DAVID
Avenida Domingo Díaz,
Edificio Garrido, Planta Baja, Local # 1-3
Teléfono: 775-7664
David, Chiriquí

I know that her name goes into the "In Care of Name" field, but I'm not sure what to put for the others. Does anyone know what to put for "Street Number and Name" or "Postal Code"? I'm thinking that I put Chiriqui for "Province" and David for "City or Town". She said they don't have post office boxes... that they instead receive mail by name.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in Advance!
