Pretty much what I was told by other members but the only conflict is, the CO did say in the first interview, if it was accepted,I would be contacted by email and a request for my passport made but instead I got a letter requesting the 2nd interview... I'm with you on this one but I thought I would just pop the question

Thanks for your replay Richard

Has anyone ever been to their interview and the medical never arrived on time, then got issued a temporary refusal, week later a letter in the post asking for you to go for a 2nd interview without a any reason being given? and what was your outcome please.

Richi was denied val and gary

I thought it rang a bell.

He knew about the ban and the need for a waiver a long time ago, I know I partook in a thread with him about it at least a month ago in connection with expediting the waiver.

So he would have gone in expecting the denial with the I 601 to file. Which presumably he did. Just part of his process.

Is there something else?

For a 3 year Ban, overstay a year and it is a 10 year ban.

It has to be 180 days plus to get a ban.

are you serious? this I did not know

Do me favour people... go ask Richi if he is okay... I'm concerned about him... he needs your support right now... yes... it is Richi... I didn't want to tell you who it was but I worry for him... he needs help right now... help about the situation... can people rally together and find out how best for Richi to go forward now please...I know the man is switched on but maybe we can find more help for him... the man is beside himself.

No... not R

Mate of mine got a denial in his interview today because of an over stay last time he was out in America with his wife, anyone out there had simular experiences with positive results through a waiver? the reason I say through a waiver is because his wife is not too well so he had the wisdom to back up with a waiver in case of a denial but right now my friend is in bits because he got denied and I'm looking for something up beat from someone who might have been through the same thing... anyone out there?

Thank you

I had a non-immigration visa in 2007 and it got placed in my passport, now I am applying for an immigration visa, does a immigration visa go in the passport like a non-immigration visa or is it a separate thing all together, maybe on a card or something?

Cough and cold no, do you require all your vaccination records, yes. Is it worthwhile going to your GP for vaccination... yes.

I called Knights Bridge before I went, I asked them the sorts of questions you are asking, they will only be too happy to help you if you call them.

Your medical history is only required if they ask for it, I was asked for mine after the medical because of something that came up in my history, but generally you don't need them.... I would advise you to take it if you can, never wrong to have too much info but only submit it if it is requested by the doctor

Do an advanced search on that author and have it show the posts (not the topics) and you can probably catch all of their story.

You may even be able to message them (and hope they monitor the email they registered with VJ) to see if they can give you any tips if they have gotten anywhere.

Sorry...

Thanks for this, I'll give them a nudge today, see what news they can give... I guess when all done it is up to the CO in my interview... I said to Richi earlier today that I now have a defeated mind set, that way I won't feel so heart broken when they refuse my visa, but I will be making a complaint about this physician, it seems to me a misuse of power and personal interests on her part may be the reason for my rejection.

I will never apologize to her for being human, I made a mistake or two years ago and paid for them already, who gave her the power to continue to punish me.

Thank you for your post Blanket... any help would be welcome.

I may not be seeing very clearly right now, all I have is this feeling that a woman (no offense meant to woman it just so happens this physician is a woman) is looking at me as a piece of ###### and laughing in my face because she has the power to do and say what ever she pleases, I am a human being trying to obtain a visa to be with my wife and all she sees is a visa number and a man who drank, not once did I sense a breath of compassion and understanding of what I have been through to get here... I feel powerless and controlled by her, it sickens me to think about her and how she appears to take her position as a god given right to pass judgement on people based on records.

I know I still the interview to plead my case but why do I have to be put in a position of defense for it when all I have done is be as honest and forthright as I could, I have learned a heavy lesson this month, to be a good person and be honest is not how you succeed in life

Thanks Richi, will take a look now... so upset right now... I feel victimized by the person, years of doing the right thing is only making my life worse... I have never met such a closed minded arrogant person as this doctor, I never imagined my life's dreams would be compromised by one person with an over inflated ego, I know they have a job to do but for crying out loud, why can't a man make a mistake, learn by it and be rewarded by decent treatment.

I actually presented to her a letter that I obtained from the rehab center I went years ago, I have no documentation on the times I went to AA because I never thought I would require them, I did how ever go to my GP over a month ago and asked her to perform a test to prove how my liver was or at best to give evidence of any mistreatment of alcohol recently, My GP faxed the LFT (liver function test) to the physician Friday last week and she has the results which I know is clear but she still phoned me to grill me, it was hard enough over coming my fears in the medical let alone trying to reassure the Physician I am clear of drink.

It is like she is on a personal crusade to ruin this for me.

I am wondering if anyone has had a hard time from their medical doctor with regards to a drinking history, I have a drink history but no longer drink, I have had my medical and been upfront about it and now the Physician is giving me a hard time. I had a non-immigration medical in 2007 and was refused even though I had a visa in 2006 and went to America without any hitches, I am now immigrating to the USA to be with my wife.

I had a call from my Physician tonight asking why there are discrepancies in what I told her this time to what I told her last time, I said I don't exactly remember because it was 3 years ago but she is really giving me hard time about my past, doesn't seem to care about who I am now, what I have done to become who I am today, it feels to me like she is getting personal, she actually went out of her way to pull my medical report from three years ago!!! when I had done my medical last week and gone home.

Has anyone had experiences of this? please tell me my hard work and honesty isn't going to get my visa denied because this Physician can not or will not let MY past go?

Do I need to legal assistance about this? is this Physician allowed to make this personal... she even made the statement "I see 100's through here every week trying for a visa in to the USA, fed up of it frankly" surely she is making it personal and not doing her job?

Maybe I am bang off the mark... I just don't know anymore

hi! gudpm! im lai from philippines. i would like to ask something.. hope vj member could help me...

last sept 18 we have our case completed at nvc.. i would like to know if how many days it would take to be transfer in us embassy in manila, philippines? and how long would i wait for my visa interview? and how about the medical.. could i have the medical now even though i still don't have the appointment letter?

hope someone out there could help me ... thanks!

Your medical is good for 1 year

Expedited visa, so many thinking there are special reasons, no at all, you need to fight your corner people.... you can expedite if your petition is over the projected time... just pot luck at the end of the day... granted there ARE special cases... but this does not mean other cases don't get approved because they are not "special"

Be warned, some expedited visa can increase the visa time if disapproved so think carefully about your choice to expedite.

I got mine expedited, it got approved, and within 1 week I had my interview, almost quicker than I could set up my medical... expedited at the NVC, carried over to the Consulate in London, received interview 6 days later.

Faxed Senator

outlined details of reasons

senator made the expedite plea for us

it got approved

simples!!!

but

I would say, choose the right senator, and you would have been wise to have done it on the elections where they wanted your votes... I might be way off the mark there though... the senator we had was a very wise time served senator with punch!

God bless that senator.

Congratulations ... wishing you all the best for the future

It is not just the city my friend, it is the whole country that is nasty, I do not wish to sound nasty myself when I say this but this country (UK) has gone bad... hate it here.

TY OBX

lol... guess you could say that

It was my wife that did the deed actually and I was foolish enough to doubt her actions, I have informed her of this post and she will continue to answer questions because she is far more qualified to give the best answers ...lol.... I hope
