sema

Am trying to pay immigration fees on ELIS, the form my wife was given with the A no. and Case no. dont work even after adding a 0, prior to the A no., and omitting the A, it still don't work.

I noticed the DOS no. changed, the one I have starts with NRB which I think is Nairobi that is not where she did her interview. Her interview was in Addis Ababa which would be ADD when I enter this on the Ellis system it accepts it. Am just not sure if the DOS case no and NVC case no are the same has anyone had a change in DOS no. A no is on the her visa which I confirmed as being the same as was on the paper she was handed.

Any one having a problem paying fees on the Elis system. 

Am trying to pay the fees $220 before my wife travels it wont let me keeps giving an error message.

have added the zero to make the A no. a nine digit.

Any help wld be great.

Need Help..please 

I applied for tourist visa March 2016 filled married with kids Which is not the truth and was denied (agent adviced) 

I meet my wife 20th January 2016 and got married to Jamie singleton 18th june 2016

Our interview is on 25th January 2018

Question:

1: if the consular ask about the marital status on tourist visa, what would be my answer? 

Help me throw more light on this issue cos am worried about this everyday. 

Oga!! why were you lying in the first place, you got you're self in a spot. Now you have to tell the truth, if that question comes up again coz you don't have divorce papers, unless you gonna make them up, and lie again. Then the lies will catch up with you.

You gonna have to go down on you're knees my men.

But stay positive, they usually ask have you been denied a visa before? They dont ask why were you denied, and if they do, it was not becoz you were married and had kids, not so?

Hello all!!! How exciting you are all finally waiting for your interview date! I am still stuck at NVC and way overdue for a CC so I have a question for anyone that has gotten their senator involved, what was the outcome? How long did it take for the senators office to get back to you? Was it of any help? I'm desperate! My husband and I have completed all forms and paid all fees since 7/24/2017 , we got hit with a check list for his missing birth certificate and got a new scan date of 9/19/2017, I called nov 7th to check on our case status and i got hit with a new scan date of nov 1st for something that we did not send to them so I asked for supervisor review and was told to wait 6 weeks. Tomorrow marks the day of our 11 weeks wait time for file review and I am desperate to get this over with. 

 

 

Sorry I went on a little rant but IDK what else to do. I just emailed my senator Kamala Harris to see if her office can get involve and help. Anywho, anyone that got their senator involved in helping to move their case along any input is appreciated!!! thanks  

Call NVC and confirm there is no other RFE and request progress of you case. Also ask to speak to a Tier 2 officer they usually come on the phone per what I have read from other VJ members. About a senator calling NVC or following up am not certain. Hope you're CC comes soon though.

I looked it up manually in the CEAC website where you check your visa status. 

You know the site says you can't check out other applicants status and such,.... Be careful, I know being patient is tough, but we have made it this far.

Dear Vj members,

First of all i would like to thank you for your  great support, without you guys it would be impossible

to go this far. As you know my cr-1 visa was approved but still no visa. 

When I check from CEAC  it says Ready for interview but it  is more than 2 weeks  since my visa  approved so i'm  little bit nervous .

So Should i be Worried ?

For how long should i wait to contact Ethiopian embassy ?

   Thanks in advance, 

 

 

 

 

You should check with DHL first, if they dont have it follow up with the embassy. Nothing to be worried about, it was approved right?

I am not trying to "make proof". We feel that by me being there with him will help the situation. But I am not in this for game or anything. I was there with him for over a year, so i came back and had to establish myself. I am not being emotional here but i think it's good to choose your words wisely sometimes. Thank you!

Hi like others have stated, just provide the evidence you have, for IMO you have to take screen shots i.e take a picture of of every msg or call log and then print it out on a word document or whichever is easier. So one more question, if you do talk to you're spouse on IMO why then does you're spouse have to call you on direct line or whatever calling card they use? Coz Metro has unlimited internet and calling, not the best reception but yeah. Also it is cheaper to call from Africa on the internet i.e whatsapp, viber or IMO versus calling on direct line I know that coz am from there too. So it wld not matter who is calling who the internet charges still stand.

when we first met we would chat on fb almost daily.  After getting married and me returning to the us, we dont skype as often because of work and internet issues on her end.  We skype once or week or once every 2 weeks and sometimes even just once a month.  Will this make it harder for her? i've visited her 3x though and have over 1000 pictures.

I understand you,  where my wife is from sometimes the GOV. shuts down the internet and calling dirrectly can be very expensive, just be ready to explain you're self more conversations wld be better though.

The country can be important, and yes it's because of stereotyping. It's nothing to do with some countries being "good" or "bad" though, you're right, there's good and bad in all countries.

But knowing the country can give an idea how to proceed as it can suggest how the spouse might proceed in their scam. Some countries tend toward the spouse just disappearing under the radar whereas some countries tend to be more prone to abusing VAWA to achieve their aims. Scammers are coached in ways to attract USC victims, and then once married they are coached in how to accuse their spouse of abuse if the spouse doesn't cooperate with getting the greencard.

 

OP, withdraw your AOS, do not lie. But just as importantly, NEVER spend any time alone with your spouse, or any time only in the company of her family or friends (they're just as likely to lie for her as she is). Keep records of all communications you have with her, especially any where she's asking you to lie for her.

There's also a good chance that if she feels that you won't help her then she may try to convince you that she wants to be with you. No matter how much you might like to believe her it will just be the next part of her plan.

I disagree country is not important, starting with America recently you see the high profiles, politicians and celebrities lying left and right. Then the truth comes out. Right now its the time for tell all!! For all the women who have been sexually harassed. And what are the culprits saying or are they,  even close to resignation or any of that? Nothing. 

So even though pple are trying to immigrate to America that does'nt mean that we are all straight here, we got crooks here too.

This guy is still in love even at this point he is writing the mail he is not for sure he wants to leave the girl. After reading all the posts pple have warned him if he don't take the advice he will get burnt. But life is all about lessons, you live and learn.

Hi, calling NVC may get you the results you want mail usually takes a little longer, that happens after the fact they received it could be any amount of time. Calling gets you results, and yes its a pain to get through!!

Hi guys thank you for everything.... I just wanna share my experience with CR1. How my interview went. 

 

I arrived at the Embassy at 7am, my interview time was 9:30am. So around 9am they lined us up and we went through the security checks and I sat at the awaiting area around 9:15am. I sat there for 2 hours before I was called to come to window 5. When I got there, it was a Ghanaian Woman... she smiled and said please can I have all your documents. I gave her my two passport pictures... evidence (WU receipts, WhatsApp Chats, Google Hangouts Chat, Marriage Pictures, Random Pictures, Call Records.....  Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, Passport... I mean she took all that’s needed. Then she asked me to put my hand on the fingerprint scanner after which she asked me to sit down and wait. 

 

Then around 2:20pm I heard my name asking me to come to Window 11. 

 

The CO was a man in his 40’s. This was the questions he asked me.

 

who’s the petitioner?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

 

why have you kept evidence from 2010 till now?

Sir can I ask a question, Back home in America... when you pay bills or you buy something from Walmart don’t you keep your receipts? He said I keep them. Then I said so what’s wrong with me keeping mine? He said okay I understand 

 

Is this a plan thing?

No Sir

 

when did you know you will do this whole process?

I said 2014.

 

how did you meet your wife? 

She was my childhood friend.

 

whats your wife phone number?

i don’t know because I don’t keep phone numbers in my head, all I know is first 3 digits.

 

whats your wife job?

XXXXX

 

what do you do for living?

Sir I am into Computer (Fixing.. I can fix anything). Then he said Then you are smart guy... you can make all these documents. This could be fake man... 

then I said, can I ask a question... he said okay.

if I say to you... that you take money from people to give them visa, what will you say? 

He said.. Noo I don’t do that ... I love my job and I respect my job... then I said well Exactly I also love and respect my job. I won’t use my job to do anything bad. He said oh okay, I understand.

 

who do you call first when you wake up?

i said, I would have love to call my wife when I wake up but unfortunately by the time I wake up it will be pass midnight in America. So I call my family or friends. 

 

Then he asked, so what’s your friends number? 

Sir like I said I don’t keep phone numbers in my head. Then he said... I wanted to see if you will choose your friends phone number over your wife. 

 

why did you buy a phone for your wife in 2011?

sir that’s how much I love my wife.

 

why do you chat with your wife this much?

yes sir. 

 

From my Albulm he asked only one question. To identify a certain woman, who is she? I answered.

 

How am I Sure this Pictures am looking at is you? 

I said sir... look at my face and look at the pictures well. What do you see? 

He said I see is you.

 

Well let me issue your visa visa for you, good luck and have a nice day. 

 

 

 

U had to get that Visa men you gave it to him, now bring over some of that!!!
