Vermont | No | Chennai, India | 2008-07-15 | 2008-08-06 | 2008-12-29 | 2009-01-06 | 2009-01-15 | 2009-02-10 | 2009-03-03 | 2009-06-13 | 2009-07-08 | 2009-09-11 | 231* | 22 | 145 | 64 | We had the interview scheduled for 8am and was called at 4pm, spend 1/2 hour of tedious questions abt the relationship, having met, and job related questions. The consular returned some documents and handed my fiance a note that the case requires "futher administrative processing" and was told that he would hear from them within 6-8 weeks. No information appears to be missing. On April 2, my finace received a phone call from Chennai consulate that he should submit his passport along with DS156 form, which he submited on the same day. One week past, which turned into a month, which turned into 90 days since interview, 60 days since they asked for passport and still no update. My finance has been writing to Chennai consulate for update, all he was told futher processing. I wrote the consulate asking if the case was in India or returned to the State Department, and I needed a tracking number if the case was returned to the USA. Finally they wrote me back that they are doing security check; called the State Dept in DC for update still need to wait.... Finally on June 13, 2009 the passport was returned to my finace, thank Allah billions of time, HE GOT THE VISA! | 2010-01-04 | |||||

California | No | Vancouver, Canada | 2007-12-20 | 2007-12-20 | 2008-05-30 | 2008-09-02 | 2008-11-19 | 2008-12-04 | 2008-12-05 | 2009-02-07 | 335* | 0 | 162 | 173 | This process took well over a year to complete. Our first interview was approximately 10 minutes long and was humiliating at best. Interviewed with assistant consulate in open stall with other applicants sitting there to hear all. She denied us on the premise that original marriage papers were not provided. Which in actuality had been with the packet. I explained what procedure we used was from directions online - she said they don't use that procedure, so we were denied. We were to supply them with appropriate paperwork and then it was to be reviewed that same day and approval would be sent out. Not having the funds to remain in hotel in Vancouver, we flew back to Calgary to wait for answer. Most frustrating experience we have ever experienced. Couldn't leave fiance in Calgary to return home because at this point I was nearing nervous breakdown. Daughter was going to fly to Calgary to assist my return to US. Finally after daughters contacted my US congressman. His office had number to get through to Head Consulate, he claimed to just be approving paperwork as he spoke to congressman. Took several days to get paperwork back to us so we were finally able to get flight to US. Should have followed US attorny's advice to just have finance stay here without all of the political bullcrap, but didn't want to have to look over our shoulder at every turn. This also would have meant that fiance would never have been able to return to US if he had emergency with family still in Canada. Went the correct way, but was most agonizing experience ever. Did have a beautiful wedding in spite of trauma. Both families were there and the pain was behind us. Nearing our first anniversary and happy as can be. Follow directions completely, as we had, but be prepared for harassment and disappointment along the way. God bless all of you in your journey! | 2010-01-04 | |||||||
