I was assigned the No. 3 and entered the Consulate until 9:00 am, later they called me to the first window, where they checked my papers. Everything was in order... UNTIL the clerk (who was guatemalan woman), told me that I had not realized we needed a co-sponsor, I knew we did not. She explained that my fiance's 1040 for 2006 did not show enough income. I replied that my fiance is in the military and was deployed in 2005 and 2006 and he was exempt of paying federal taxes while abroad. I asked her to explain how come we needed a co-sponsor. Even whe he did not pay taxes while deployed, (but did meet the income requirement during those years) he also meets the income requirement TODAY. The clerk said: "If he is marine ( I never told her he was a marine), and did not pay taxes then he CAN NOT BE YOUR SPONSOR" I asked again for clarification. She said.. well if you want to, you can debate that with the Vice-Consul, I'm advising her that your application is incomplete and that you must come back another day with a new I-134 and tax declarations of a co-sponsor! Then she put yellow paper with her on my file. I was beyond upset! I went back to the waiting room and sat down for 1 loooooooooooooong hour. Then the Vice-Consul called me by my name, unlike the guatemalan clerk she was extremely nice and polite. She smiled at me and said hello in spanish, the interview took less than 10 minutes, she asked: How did you meet? How many times have you been in the U.S.? How many times has he been in Guatemala? Does he speak spanish? Do you speak english? What do you do in Guatemala? What does he do, besides being in the N.G.? She reviewed all the papers, asked about my fiance's deployment, asked again if he was still in the N.G. I gave her the letter that my fiance's commander signed. She did not ask ANYTHING about the tax forms. She just checked them and checked the rest of the papers too. She read the papers for a little while and then she threw the yellow paper away! Then she finally said to me again, she said: "I will cancel your tourist visa, because you will receive your K-1" I had a huge smile on my face when she said that! Then she said: "Everything is in order, CONGRATULATIONS! You have to come tomorrow at 3.30 pm to pick up your passport and visa and rest of the papers"! I went back to Consulate the next day to pick up my visa, I was there around 3:10 pm and I was called to the window by my name at 3:45. BEWARE: If you got through this consulate that some of the guatemalan clerks are not knowledgeable on the procedure nor requirements. The Vice-Consul (the one who actually does your interview) has the final word. | 2022-05-25 |
