US-K VISA.i put the wrong address of my fiance in the medical exam papers(st.lukes)

[evilmojo]

i honestly put the wrong address of my fiance (in guam) by mistake in my medical exam papers in St. Lukes Hospital Manila. They are going to forward that paper to the US embassy and i just realized i put a wrong address under my fiance;s add.

i put 106 gutamella loop, ghura 506 yigo guam 92696

and the corresct one is 135 dulalas loop ghura 506 yigo, guam 96929

i am worried that this may lead to the disapproval of our visa. i maed a big mistake. i was wondering if it has a big impact on their decision to issue me the k-1 visa?

Don't lose sleep over it. As long as medical exam is passed, I doubt anyone will even notice the incorrect address. You see, each CO has, over the years, "specialized" in what s/he want to deny on, and s/he will ignore all else and go straight for what s/he wants to deny on. In other words, say an official "specializes" in proof of relationship denials, you can have one issue or another with every document and have the most comprehensive proof of relationship imaginable, and get denied over proof of relationship.

Take this case, for example: My fiancée had her interview at Abu Dhabi. She was questioned by a CO, who made fun of her that I did not spend enough money on the engagement ring, that our relationship is not compelling and we did not have proper engagement ceremony, etc. My fiancée informed that it is not customary to have such a ceremony in our community, and him to read the emails and look at the phone logs, etc. After looking at the emails, he informed her that he was not satisfied with the relationship, and gave her a BLUEP PAPER marked 221g.

221g

What exactly is the 221g?

P.S.: Did she get approved finally?

There's plenty more where that came from

US is the only country in the world where consulate system is so out of control that it even denies fiancee and spouse visas. Not all visas are created equal as evident from the accounts below, all of which involve fiancee and spouse visas.

I attended my fiancee's interview in guangzhou china. She was treated with less courtesy than a stray dog. The interviewing Visa Officer has a notorious reputation for this, and of course the law keep them very insulated from any recourse. During my fiancee's interview, she was given a blue slip (request for missing documents) when in fact there were no documents missing. I had employed an immigration atorney to put it all together and my fiancee and i had rehearsed and rehearsed the interview in the days prior. She had everything the Visa Officer could possibly ask for. Visa Officer had it in her hand along with my last 3 years tax return and letter of intent to marry but did not look at the I-134 and then handed the papers back to my fiancee and gave her the blue slip for I-134. My fiancee said it is here, let me show you. and the visa officer said i do not have time. My fiancee said wait please, let me get it for you and the visa officer told her that if she did not leave immediately, she would call the police and have her removed. And it is my tax dollars paying this Visa officers salary? Are these Visa Officers in a position to represent the US, because when my fiancee left the interview, her opinion of this representation is not even fit to write here. (2008)

My wife and I met online june 2007, began emailing every day, phone calls, then we decided to meet in person, i asked if we still feel the same way when we meet in person would you marry me, she said let's meet first. So we met in september and soon married. Then we petitioned and my wife finally got her interview, and in 10 minutes after 13 months of waiting, one woman,and only one woman changed our lives, busted our hopes and dreams. My wife recieved her denial. All that was asked of her was her passport and photographs, after my wife dragged into this consulate building 11lbs of documents of daily emails, phone records, plane tickets of my trips to China, Skype chats. NOT ONE WAS ASKED FOR. NOT ONE EMAIL WAS READ! Guilty in 10 minutes by one woman, and as an American citizen I'm unable to challenge what her "not a bonafide relationship" denial. No man should have the power to play God? Where are their supervisors? supervision, supervision, supervision. Power without oversight leads to corruption. it's really this simple. (2008)

My wife's immigrant visa was denied july 23, 2007 and her i-130 petition sent back to uscis califournia for review even though we provided sufficient proof of our relationship. the horrible thing is that no information was given for the reason no visa issued. 1- consular officers should not deny family petition if evidence has been given 2- consular officers should not make any pre-judgment or prejudices at any case 3- consular officers should act with professionalism not with their own desires.

Was married in aug 2005 in egypt, had K3 interview feb 2006, as i thought all well. its now march 2008 and i've received nothing in mail or anything at all, im expecting his child now when i call and ask about where case is they say we sent to nvc or we sent to uscis for reajudication but when i contact all 3 no one calims to have it. its like a run around. i'm a us citizen so this makes em very angry they leave u in the dark with no answers and not knowing whats going on. I contacted some congressmen they told me there is no timeline on how long it takes (2008)

Feb.2007, I went to Nigeria and married my wonderful husband. After coming home I filed papers to bring him and my step-daughter to the US, his interview was Nov. 26, 2007 in Lagos. We recieved an 221-g and were also told he needed DNA testing for the daughter, they charged us $800 for the test! We were also told the administrative processing would take from 6-12 months because they are having staffing and budget trouble. This really just isn't fair, we paid our fees and did everything they told us to do and now we are in this black endless whole, with no end in sight. Something really need to be done to correct this.

Applied k-1 visa 3/06. Interviewed 11/06. Its now 1/08 . Still no decision. Daily illegals come to this country. But what do you get if you try to have your loved one come legally? If you follow our laws, nothing but humiliation. You are judged by if they think you should be in love. Not if in fact there is a relationship. Made to put your life on hold. If you go to consular office you are treated like a criminal. You are treated worst then the real illegal immigrants.Thats if they even bother to speak with you.Many times they simply refuse you audience,and dont bother to even give a reason for the refusal.As a tax payer they should serve me. Not degrade me.My taxes pay their salary so they can treat me like a third class citizen.And what crime have i committed? Just to fall in love and dare to ask to have my fiance' join me in my country. (2008)

yes i have experienced the same indegnates with my gov in morocco saying 221g with not even a explianation of why, today i found that the proof of relationship was not up to my countrys standerds of love. i have sent my love with a stack that go on for a year worth of personal talks and photos of us together. i cant jump on a plane and miss work and trying to be responsible and frugle with finances it was turned away. i work every day with illegal immagrants , i see they just cross the boareders and do things like marry an american to become legal, what a terrible thing to do to someone who belives in this country and what is right and fair. (2008)

i am married for 2 years to an american citizen all our immigration papers approved for CR1 visa but at the us embassy cairo, egypt i was given back my passport and asked to wait so called administrative processing. it's been 1 and a half year ago since applying that was not enough time to do security checks? by the way its now 4 months since my interview and still have not heard anything from embassy and some people had to wait more than 1 year after interview to get their visas. (2008)

I'm married to a man in Egypt. And have been for 2 years. We are caught up in administrative processing for over 9 months. Something needs to be changed. It is not right or fair that they keep us apart for so long. It has been 2 years of this journey. And they never give a answer to the delays. (2008)

I have personal experiences in this matter. We married in Egypt. We are on our 2nd year and still waiting after being denied then they tell us to wait for their call to tell us our next step. (2008)

I have a personal experience with the Consulate in Casablanca Morocco, and it sure seems like a lot of people have had the same eperience. On September 4th 2007 I arrived at the US Consulate and i have to say i'm embarassed to call that building my Consulate or Embassy that my tax money and your tax money built!!! living in another country has damaged their senses. They where not nice to me at all. I said to myself 8,000 miles i have traveled to go inside this building and make sure these people do not try to shaft my fiance. I agree with all the people who have placed their stories on this website. My fiances story of his interview that these interviewers are frustrated and angry with their jobs and DO NOT TREAT PEOPLE WITH RESPECT. if i treated my customers at the retail stores the way they treat me, I would not have a job!!! (2008)

I wish I didn't have experience in this matter, but I do. My case is lost in the abyss of the "Administrative Review" blackhole. I cannot get any updates, information or answers. I especially cannot get any help no matter where I go or who I talk to in the USCIS. (2008)

My daughter married a wonderful man from Egypt and I now have a beautiful grandaughter who has never seen her father because of these self preserved people who make the rules and tear up families and hearts and don't care. Why should they? They all go home to their families and loved ones when the work day is done while they have accomplished destroying others families. This is a sad sad thing when congressman and senators who are being charged with child molesting and stalking and drugs and doing God knows what in public rest rooms are able to decide the future of an innocent child and keep her father. (2008)

I filed for a visa for my husband. we were denied on our K-3 visa under section 221g in October of 2006 which is amazing my husband had everything and anything with him at the time of his interview. However the women who conducted the interview had no interest in looking at anything. The thing that confuses me is that we were sent back for more evidence while he had it from day one and they didnt look at it. We then got the approval on our I-130 in November of 2006, but we were sent back to USCIS for further review. It has been there for 9 months and nothing. I was born and raised in the US and am a US citizen and I fell in love with a man from another country and I cant even be with him. I have been there 3 times to see him and have to plan another trip due to the fact that they are not processing our case. Alot of people have children and jobs that they can not walk away from, but have to to see our loved ones. (2008)

My fiance was denied in Casablanca July 23,2007 because he could not explain the progression of our relationship in English. They wouldn' even look at our pictures. we had over a 6 month chat log, phone calls almost daily log, emails, cards. now have to refile, had to hire a lawyer, I am broke, but nothing will keep us apart. All interviewer was interested in was, what do you want with an older woman??? she badgered him relentlessly!!! He is 42 years old, never married, don't you think he knows what he wants (2008)

My wife was deneid a K3 visa in panama despite all the evidence and one hour of questions. The consular in panama was rude and made is on assumptions about our relationship before my wife even had a chance. (2008)

My case (I129f) was returned after the interview from the Dominican Republic to Vermont to be reviewed. according to the embassy, they said i did not bring them enough evidence. my case is being in Vermont now for about 19 months. i sent to Vermont and to the embassy all the evidence that i have. pictures, telephone statements, e-mail print outs, proof of everytime i traveled to see my fiance, witnesses statements and much more. but nothing helps this process to move any faster. i am planing to go back and get married. i was told that there are chances to get denied again. i am very confused now. in the interview, the officer just wanted to deny the visa. they lied and contradicted each other very much. also, they were asking most of the questions about sex and acused me verbaly and in writing that this relationship was a fraud. (2008)

Our case is pending a K-1 review since March 07, 2006. Most employers offer vacation time on average of 2 weeks. I was present for the interview it made no difference. Our evidence was not touched. Neither were we informed why our case was returned. To date we are still unaware of the reason or reasons. USCIS and DOS do not work together, they are separate entities. Therefore creating confusion, multiple filings and many times a big let down at the consulate who demands these cases are reviewed. DOS follows a guidance for returned petitions. However USCIS does not consider these cases a priority, resulting in cases being stuck in pending status indefinitely, not counted as part of their backlog. There has been cases where communication with USCIS is difficult or non-existant. If a new case is refiled many time the consular officer may "hold" a decision pending a review decision from USCIS. So what are the options? Marriage has seemed to work for some who have returned K-1 petitions at some consulates. Other consulates may hold their decision until the returned petition is reviewed. (2008)

Yes. both my wife's K-3 and CR-1 interviews at the US Consulate in Lagos, the consulate personnel (1) point-blank refused to review the evidence we had been instructed to produce for the interviews (2) rudely accused my wife of not being married to me and just seeking a visa, without proof of such claim. For how long will US consulates abroad continue to use all this unfair and inconsistent bureaucracy to plausibly justify their attempts to limit legal immigration? (2008)

My k1 fince visa just got denied last week in Chennai. They gave me a blue letter asking me to submit more proof of our relationship via the VFS. I took all the letters, emails, cards,phone bills, etc with me to the interview and they didn't even took a look at any of them. Now they are asking to send all those proof via VFS. WHat does this mean? The letter says that i was denied under the section 221g and tells me to submit more proof to overcome this and to complete the processing of my application.we have like 14 years of difference between us with she being the elder. Is this a reason for the denial? Our relationship is 2 years old and we have all the emails and letter we sent during these period.and phone call details. And all the receipts of the money she sent me, hotel bills with both mine and her name on it. And photographs of us together which we submitted with application. (2007)

My fiancee got denied after 2 interviews and now they are sending it back to USCIS. I have had multiple marriages before and they do not tell us clearly that but they use our unusual circumstances to deny visa and harass us this way so we drop the case. My case has cost me a lot of financial loss as well as aggravation. Their whole goal was to deny visa no matter what you have. I have decent income and asset and would not risk to marry someone for fraud as I would be the loser. I think, they use their power to deny unusual case, just because they can. (2007)

I Got Denied A K1 Visa Under Section 221g, Accordind To Embassy, I Did Not Bring Them Enough Evidence. My Lawyer Said That I Brought Them More Than Enough. He Also Said That My Bigest Mistake Was To Go With My Fiance To The Interview. He Said That When They See That Both Go To The Interview, That's When They Start Asking Hundreds Of Questions. If You Fail One, That's Enough Reason For Them To Deny.

My fiancee just got denied nder 221g. I heard that you cannot appeal. If thats true, lady who interviewed us lied because she said we have one year to appeal. I went to a lawyer, he told me that I cannot appeal until they send me the results from the administration or investigation. The USCIS told me that in 128 days they would give me an answer. Now it's been 200 days and nothing. (2007)

It is unthinkable what they get away with. it might sounds crazy, but i think they set people up to deny them the visa. for example, they told me that i did not have enough evidence. they said that because they ignored all what i brought to them. they were asking me questions about her grandparents and things that are not related to a relationship and things that they knew that i might not know. they could have given me at least 30 days to present more evidence,but they returned my case one week after the interview, they sent us a letter saying that our relationship was just for immigrate to US. they will find nothing to prove that this relationship of seven years is ****. (2007)

My fiancée had her interview at Abu Dhabi. She was questioned by a CO, who made fun of her that I did not spend enough money on the engagement ring, that our relationship is not compelling and we did not have proper engagement ceremony, etc. My fiancée informed that it is not customary to have such a ceremony in our community, and him to read the emails and look at the phone logs, etc. After looking at the emails, he informed her that he was not satisfied with the relationship, and gave her a BLUEP PAPER marked 221g.

Now I find out the Bucharest Romania has a reputation for being perhaps the least accomodating embassy when it comes to fiance visa applicants. When your turn comes you are called to stand before a bullet-proof panel of glass and to speak to your beligerant and uncooperative interviewer as s/he barks questions, refuses to explain procedures and is likely to send you off on a wild goose-chase for more documentation at a whim. Evidently Bucharest has had a lot of complaints and peope who are familar with the Ukrainian Embassy mention the stark contrast between it and the embassy in Romania. I have to send my fiance and her Rusiian speaking mother there in a few months. There is no way I can make another trip to accompany her. And, it seems, that Bucharest officials are known for arbitrarily deciding that a fiance visa application is a sham, especially if the American fiance isn't there. So how did I get all the luck?

During the mid 1980's I underwent 3 attempts to bring my wife from Iran, with both of us flying to Istanbul, Turkey for each visa interview, accumulating a debt of $10,000 in the process. This is when an average home in the midwest cost $30,000. In the second attempt my wife was visibly pregnant, and with an infant on the third attempt. (1987)
