  1. I agree with Dashinka, Edward, Salish, et al. -- the fact that you sent the stuff ahead, unsolicited, explains the situation to my satisfaction (and I still have traumatic flashbacks about my own experiences). As they say, bring it all plus more to the interview, and that will satisfy the protocol. Ask them about this when you're there, and report back. If my current assumption is correct, then what a relief!
  2. Thread applying to general protocol is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the Embassy/Consulate forum.
  3. Thread with answers has been shifted to the main US Citizenship forum, from which an unanswered duplicate thread has been removed.
  4. Zzz, man! Civil Sturgeon, n. - a polite Russian fish, si man.
  5. The participant here perhaps didn't read the entire thread before posting. Heed what jan22 says. The question is: Were all of the above part of the I-129F petition that Cairo got from USCIS, or did you somehow send these materials separately, yourself, directly to Cairo in advance of your interview?
  6. Wonderful to hear! You're obviously making the very best of it. Your mature attitude is commendable, and you'll surely find something fulfilling and productive in due time. Be sure to keep us apprised.
  7. Breaking: White House Pulls Elise Stefanik's Nomination to Be UN Ambassador The rumor that was floating around social media on Thursday that the Trump administration was considering pulling the nomination of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations are true. It's not that Stefanik has done anything to jeopardize her nomination or gotten on the wrong side of the president, it's that Republicans cannot afford to lose her seat in the House. President Trump made the announcement on Truth Social, saying he had asked Stefanik to remain in the House of Representatives to help enact his legislative agenda.

  9. Advice: Collect everything possible; more crucial when you arrive early and are together. Normal: Never heard of this. Why: Mistake? Rogue CO? New IV Visa Chief with new procedures? Just wild guesses. Contact: Let's wait a bit to see if our expert chimes in.
  10. It would be a helluva massive one, if so. 1. It was your evidence and not someone else's, correct? 2. Everything they returned had been in your I-129F petition, correct?
  11. So they responded? That's a big hurdle that you've just overcome. Following with interest here.
  12. I never heard of a consulate rejecting "proof of bona fide relationship" before an interview. We had ours rejected at the first interview, regardless of the reality that USCIS had seen it with the I-129F. Fiancee even brought more along, but they refused to consider it and kicked her out without even a 221(g). Consulates are not supposed to reject evidence that they know USCIS has seen. My presumption is that there are red flags, or a rogue CO, or known or unknown standards to be met. Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding what's going on. I'm going to enlist someone knowledgeable and invite him to join this thread. Meanwhile, begin collecting absolutely everything that you can get your hands on that supports the relationship.
  13. Thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the Embassy/Consulate forum -- topic regards that phase.
  14. Whatever else you submit, get to your fiancee several days early and take (and print) copious photos together, gather as many mutual receipts as possible, and everything else you can think of, and absolutely overwhelm them at the consular window with current evidence. This does NOT sound good at all.
  15. I had one secure door into the neat office at the very nice Brownsville Airport. Such clean duty the two agents had. But back to the OP's topic now.
  16. When you X out her address on her refused mail, also mark out the bar code printed by USPS at envelope bottom. Sometimes, refused mail will come back to you again because that bar code gets read.
  17. Read the abstract of this paper, see mam ma'am: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23541117/
  18. You should be a miu psychologist, si mam ma'am. We typically just mow over all leaves but have to rake them away from shrubbery first, si man. We don't recall having to do the latter part at all, heavenly man. S.I.N.U.S. C.R.@.P., si mam ma'am. English-only outside the regional forums, si and mam ma'am!
  19. It can take forever to get an appointment at a busy office, but it's well worth it. I gave up on Houston and went to Brownsville when I was otherwise down there. Wonderful session, and G.E. card in my mailbox in under a week.
  20. We would NOT be pleased, no man.
  21. People with pending asylum petitions are deported all the time, and many self-deport. To confirm: Do not respond to -- but do save and document -- any further contacts from her. If your lawyer is restricting himself to the divorce only, you should decide whether to notify ICE, or the FDNS officer at your proximal USCIS office. If the former, it's unclear how, when, or whether the agency would react; if the latter, you would submit all backup documentation, submit it, never hear anything again, and never learn a final determination or outcome. Up to you whether to proceed.
  22. A man sitting at a bar after work shared with the bartender why he was looking so stressed. "I'm not sleeping well. I have nightmares about a monster under my bed, and I'm too embarrassed to seek help.” A patron nearby overheard this and introduced himself. "I overheard your story, and I am a psychiatrist. Maybe I can help. The first thing is for you to recognize that these are only dreams. I should be able to help you in a few sessions. Here's my card -- give me a call." A few weeks passed, and the same two were once again at the bar after work. The psychiatrist said to the other guy, “How go the nightmares? I never heard from you, so I hope that you are doing better." The other guy said, "Things are great! The bartender helped me." The psychiatrist said, "The bartender helped you? You needed a trained professional to help you. What could a bartender possibly do that a psychiatrist couldn't?" "He told me to saw the legs off my bed."
  23. Villalobos (town wolves, plural) is a fairly prevalent Spanish name. Were he British, it would probably be the more elegant "Wolverton."
