and said the immigrant visa officers only work on Wednesdays and Thursdays, as well as occasionally on Mondays.

Wow my tax dollars are sure hard at work.

I'm having a thought here. Do you guys think it would be possible to get in touch with the American Citizen Services at the US embassy to hand carry the additional evidence that they requested in form 221(g) and ask them to deliver it to the consular section? They haven't been responding to emails that we've sent a month ago.

Let me know if you end up doing that. I sent them the documents they requested like 3 times and they haven't even acknowledged it so I'm thinking about dropping it off at the embassy.

I'd like to add to my initial post...

The US embassy website that is specific to the beneficiary's country states the following:
"

If the petitioner for your immigrant visa –your spouse, mother, father, sibling or child – is currently in Uzbekistan, please bring them with you to your appointment.  While their attendance during your interview is not required, the consular officer must verify that you and the petitioner have a bona fide relationship. It is almost always easier to demonstrate that you and the petitioner have a relationship if they attend the interview with you.  For step-child cases, we often need to validate the relationship between the biological parent and the petitioner, as well–so it often helps if they come.

We recognize that the distance and cost may prohibit the petitioner to attend the interview so this is not a requirement but it may expedite processing of your immigrant visa.

To schedule appointment petitioners must send an email inquiry to our Consular Section. For instructions please visit our Contact Us webpage."

 

I (the petitioner) did come with my wife to her interview and informed the security guard that I am the one who filed the petition. He responded saying he will ask the consular officer permission to let me in. The lady who collected the document said that I should wait outside. I don't believe she informed the consular officer that I came with my wife. At the end she handed the 221(g) form asking for proof of relationship. The text from the website clearly states that the petitioner's presence can help to verify a bona fide relationship. My wife did not inform the consular officer about this assuming that she was already informed by the lady who collected the documents. This just doesn't make any sense. They asked for proof and I am the living proof standing at their doorstep. And yet, they decide to not let me in and send my wife back asking for "proof of relationship".

I told my wife to not force any information on the consular, answer her questions clearly and elaborate on details. They just overlooked a lot of information that was presented to them.

This doesn't surprise me at all, they have terrible officers.

Poor guy, Uzbekistan is so slow at AP. They asked the for the same thing back in November and they haven't even acknowledged that they received it, they just tell me my case is in AP. 

Fiance had interview in November still waiting on processing. Doesn't look like it will be issued anytime soon as I know people who have been waiting for 3+ years in Uzbekistan

Well, fiancé visas were still being processed as they were not banned unlike IR-5. Does anyone know if IR-5 visas are being processed at the US Consulate in Tashkent?

They aren't processing fiance visas at all. The visa statistics say they haven't issued any in a few months now. They have not issued ir5 either which means they aren't processing that either

What visa did you guys apply for? Begging? You mean you literally talked them into giving you an interview?

I overexagerated I didn't beg I just sent them an email telling them how we've been waiting for over a year and a half since our case was sent to the embassy. We applied for a k1 fiance visa 

We had an appointment back in November after begging and now we are still waiting for the processing. Considering sending my case to Almaty since they are processing there
