I feel for you. I pray it comes soon as I am in the same situation as you, only my wife's interview was Nov 19, and the requested document was faxed and my wife turned it in the same day. Am anxiously waiting to see how long it will take for my wife and your husband to get their visas....

A quick update. The Embassy closed for business today, with no decision made. My wife called the CO, but she was busy. The only paper she was issued was a slip of paper to use to re-enter as they had kept her passport. She did bring the requested document back to the Embassy, and was told by the CO that she would be called today with a decision.

Its going to be an anxious weekend as they are closed until Monday regarding immigration issues.

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!! Best wishes to you both!

Thanks so much shefellfromheaven,

You are in our prayers as well. I hope to update soon.

Thanks for the responses everyone. Hopefully some good news is to come tomorrow. They also had my wife ask me to fax a document they claim was not in the file. She took it to the Embassy after receipt, and it sounds like a decision will be made tomorrow. They kept her passport and did not return any documents yet. All good signs to me.

Am thankful to be at this point with all the waiting going on at the CSC and VSC.

Congrats and Happy Holidays!

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!! Best wishes to you both!

martiniolive,

I agree, it does sound a bit brutally honest. I wonder if this is a common thing to tell immigrant women.

My wife had her interview today. Final determination to happen tomorrow. The Embassy interviewer told my wife that her mind is still not made up as of today. She said to expect a phone call tomorrow.

As for the interview itself, the questions were pretty standard. Nothing out of the ordinary. However, she did tell my wife that these American men will marry a foreign woman, then once she is in the US, they will abuse her. She went as far as to have a secretary print out some sort of violence against women act to give to my wife. The interviewer also told my wife that she wanted to be sure that if my wife left me, that she would be able to stay in the USA.

All in all very odd in that regard. It sounds like my spouse will get her visa approved tomorrow, but the interviewer seemed to want to keep doubt in her mind by saying that the outcome was not clear yet. Comments???

Located in the St. Louis area, how about you? On Cloud 9 today!

Thanks so much for the kind wishes!! Looking forward to next Wednesday!

Thank you for the congratulations. They claim her file arrived yesterday. The NVC said her file was sent on Oct 10th, but when I tracked the shipments from the NVC using DHL, there was no file sent to Zimbabwe within a week of that date. Your guess is as good as mine on that. Hopefully more good news to follow next week!

Interview is Nov 19th at 10 am. Praise God!

Thanks Zee Bee, I did call the NVC and they said the request must come from the Embasy itself. Good news though! The Embassy reported today that they have the file. Perhaps it was lost somewhere, and they scheduled her interview again for Nov 19th at 10 am. Praise God!

The NVC scheduled my wife's interview on Nov 4, 2008. My wife tried to schedule her medical, but the information online about the doctor was not valid, so after a couple weeks she calls the US Embassy in Harare, and they inform her that they make their own appointments. She had to complete the medical, then submit all evidence of our relationship. Later she was informed that her file never made it from the NVC when she went to turn in the evidence. Things are in limbo until the Embassy requests the file to be sent again from the NVC as they said they will not interview her without it.

This process is so frustrating, just wondering if anyone else has dealt with the Harare Embassy.

Thanks so much for the kind wishes shefellfromheaven. I hope to know more soon!

Thanks for the kind wishes. I am not sure about the tracking number. Other threads have explained how to track the shipment, if I can figure it out, it might help.

The latest is my wife was told today that the documents never arrived from the NVC and they won't do her interview until they arrive. NVC confirms today that the documents were shipped by DHL on Oct 10, 2008. They also sent them electronically. NVC says the Embassy must request the docs again. Am working on tracking that shipment with DHL to see when it would have arrived.

The Embassy cancelled the original interview and told my wife they make their own appointments. She complied with their request to complete the medical process and submit proof of relationship and now this latest news. I thought the end was in sight......
