  1. Not in 2021, but I did get help in 2020. A lot depends on the assistance you are seeking. In my case the Embassy in Manila made a series of mistakes that were very obvious and would not respond to my inquiries. Senator Cruz got involved and the issue was resolved immediately and the Visa was issued. Complaints about long processing times and similar issues most likely will not be of interest to your congressperson/senator
  2. Reading your post gave me flashbacks. SLEC put my wife through the sputum process three times and caused a year long delay in processing our K1 visa. Each time she did sputum testing the culture came back negative. When she finally got here I had her tested and there was no evidence of TB. The nightmares of SLEC and their sputum testing are well documented, the question is why they are allowed to continue this sham. So sorry for you and yes it is frustrating that when you challenge SLEC they just blame the Embassy.
  3. If they are still doing prescreening you would not be sent forward to the Consulate without the Physical. That was the procedure in the past. You should be OK.
  4. We experienced the same thing and the problem turned out to be an AKA NBI. For us this resulted in a disaster that took over 18 months to correct with COVID and ST. Lukes presenting obstacles at every turn. The frustrating part is the lack of communication with the Embassy. Let's hope that your administrative processing is a simple and easily correctable matter.
  5. If you have a situation where clearly a mistake was made during the processing and neither USCIS or the Consulate are cooperative, Senate involvement can work. It worked for me.
  6. Add a couple of Rolex watches and post a contents label to the baggage and you will be safe.
  7. For certain as you progress through the system vaccination documentation will become important. When we did our AOS we received an RFI because of incomplete vaccination documentation. A tetanus vaccination was not recorded. This touched off a circus of events that ended with my wife received numerous shots and x-ray based on what the Civil Surgeon said. In the end we paid a bunch of money to correct this mess.
  8. Kind of refreshing to be where I am now and seeing others at the starting point. Man those initial days of K1 processing were a challenge. Best advise I can offer is "Beware of the HI GUY'S" you see on U-tube.
  9. Having been through the Sputum game 3 times I can tell you once SLEC tags you with the three day ordeal most likely the 8 week culture test follows. Need to get this behind you before attending an interview, no physical no visa.
  10. What the purpose of this relationship, have a life together or get a green card? Some of the answers of more senior members confuse me.
