Wish you would return regularly! You're missed.

Great news! Let us know.

The OP may have hit the limit of posts for a brand-new member.

All else equal, a good travel history can be a plus. Have her visit another country (or two) and return home. Wait appropriately, then try again for a B-2.

Wonderful! Congratulations, and thanks for your positive update.

The OP hasn't logged on to VJ since June but is following the thread; let's hope that a response comes. Perhaps someone else can offer input.

Make lemonade from lemons.

Keep a positive upper lip and a stiff attitude! Uh, hang on a minute here...

That's great -- congratulations on the progress. This doesn't need to be super-scientific; put in what your instincts tell you to enter there.

How do we (not including NB) spell "utter insanity"?

Every step is a gain.

RFEs are actually a blessing in disguise. Respond precisely with what they want, ordering your papers as they request. Then, write in big letters "FOR THE CONSULATE AFTER PETITION APPROVAL" on a new sheet of paper, put it under the RFE papers, and, behind it, add further "evidence of bona fide relationship" that you've accrued while waiting all these months. In this way, you not only satisfy the RFE; you also strengthen your case for the eventual visa interview.

Comments on this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Danish Immigration Lesson What happens when a country with a long history of tolerance toward immigration and refugees has had enough? What happens when false asylum claims come to predominate, when immigrants resist assimilation? What happens when left-leaning politicians go too far in protecting the rights of immigrants and not far enough in assuring the rights of citizens? You get Denmark. These are the real lessons for America in what happened to immigration and asylum policy there, showing immigration is a governance problem, not a moral abstraction.

Everyone is correct that procedures vary greatly from court to court, state to state, etc. Among my strongest philosophies of life is to do everything that I legitimately can to get myself excused.
