PLEASE EVERYONE, READ THIS!

[Alex]

HEY FRIENDS,

 

LAST TIME I POSTED I WAS STILL IN THE DARK WITH MY CASE IT FINALLY STARTED MOVING ALONG AGAIN AFTER THE BLUE SLIP/ THIRD PARTY CORRESPONDENCE NOTICE THAT "SMOKED" OUR FIANCEE VISA BACK IN DEC 2004...REMEMBER MY FIANCEE WAS APPROVED, THEN STRANGELY DENIED ON THE DAY OF PICK UP DUE TO THE CORRESPONDENCE.

 

ON JUNE 15 I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF INTENT TO DENY FROM MY SERVICE CENTER...THE LETTER ALSO STATED " WE HAVE RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM THE UNITED STATES CONSULATE THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND THE BENEFICIARY IS FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES ONLY."

\

THE LETTER ALSO HAD A NOTICE OF THE SERVICE CENTERS MOTION TO REOPEN THE PROCEEDINGS..MOTION TO REOPEN COMING FROM THE SERVICE CENTER (INSTEAD OF PETITIONER OR HIS LAWYER) IS A RARE THING , BUT A GOOD OMEN.

 

NOTE..I CONTINUE TO BATTLE THROUGH MY LAWYER, BUT I AM ALSO GOING THROUGH CONGRESS....!

 

ANYWAY, I WENT TO A SECOND CONGRESSIONAL OFFICE (THE FIRST ONE FROM THREE MONTHS AGO SUCKED WIND AND REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO HELP), MY NEW CONGRESSIONAL REPS OFFICE GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE SERVICE CENTER. ACCORDING TO THEM, THE VISA HAD BEEN APPROVED, THEN DENIED FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE TO PROVE BONAFIDE RELATIONSHIP. FROM OUR UNDERSTANDING, GZ SAID MY FIANCEE DIDN'T HAVE EVIDENCE!! THAT IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!

 

IT IS MY FEELING THERE IS SOMETHING UNLAWFUL GOING ON OVER THERE...MY FIANCEE HAD DEALT WITH SOME WOMAN AT A "CONSULTATION COMPANY" WHEN SHE WAS FILLING OUT HER FIANCEE VISA APPLICATION . THIS WOMAN HAD SEEN ALL HER INFORMATION AND HAD CERTAINLY SEEN HER CASE# AND INTERVIEW DATE ...THIS SAME WOMAN WAS OUTSIDE THE CONSULATE THE DAY OF MY SO'S INTERVIEW. (WHAT A COINCIDENCE!) SHE HAD ASKED MY SO HOW THE INTERVIEW WENT. MY FIANCEE TOLD HER SHE WAS ASKED TO GET ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE. THE WOMAN SAID SHE COULD HELP FOR $3,000.00 OR $4,000.00 . OF COURSE, MY SO REFUSED. MY THEORY IS THE PROBLEMS BEGAN HERE, AND THAT THIS WOMAN OR "CONSULTATIVE COMPANY" IS THE SOURCE OF THE THIRD PARTY CORRESPONDENCE..IT IS ALSO MY THEORY THAT SOMEONE IN THE CONSULATE WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH WITH THE CONSULTATIVE COMPANY, PERHAPS IN ANTICIPATION OF A PAYOFF.

 

 

MY SO HAD A BOATLOAD OF EVIDENCE...I DON'T THINK ANYONE EVEN LOOKED AT IT..A FEW WEEKS AFTER MY SO WAS GIVEN THE BLUE SLIP, THEY CALLED HER TO THE CONSULATE TO PICK UP HER PHOTOS OF US...THEY ALSO RETURNED THE VIDEO TAPE...CURIOUSLY ENOUGH, THEY HAD NOT EVEN BOTHERED TO TAKE THE BUBBLE WRAP OFF THE TAPE SO THEY COULD VIEW IT!! I HAVE A FEELING THEY JUST TRASHED THE REST OF OUR EVIDENCE!

 

 

I SPENT THE BETTER PART OF YESTERDAY PUTTING TOGETHER MORE EVIDENCE TO BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE SERVICE CENTER BY MY CONGRESSIONAL REPS OFFICE. PHOTOS, VIDEO, PHONE RECORDS , PASSPORT WITH STAMPS, BOARDING PASSES FROM THE TWO TRIPS, PLUS 100 OF MY E-MAILS TO HER AND 75 OF HER E-MAILS TO ME..I PUT THE E-MAILS IN ORDER FROM 2003 TO THE PRESENT.

 

I ADDED A UNIQUE TOUCH TO MY E-MAIL EVIDENCE. I PROVIDED A KEY LISTING SPECIFIC LETTERS FOR THEIR CONTENT . SINCE THEY ARE QUESTIONING THE REALNESS OF OUR RELATIONSHIP, I THOUGH IT A GOOD IDEA TO POINT OUT SPECIFIC LETTERS AND THEIR REFERENCES. FOR EXAMPLE:

 

E-MAIL 9/23/05 PETITIONER SPEAKS OF MARRIAGE

 

E-MAIL 10/03/03 PETITONER SPEAKS OF FAMILY/WHY HE

WANTS CHINESE WIFE

 

E-MAIL 11/06/03 PETITIONER ASKS FIANCEE RING SIZE

 

E-MAIL 12/02/03 PETITONER DECLARATION OF LOVE MARRIAGE

SIGNED "YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND"

 

YOU GET THE IDEA....MY LIST HIGHLIGHTS ABOUT 17 LETTERS, ESPECIALLY THE EARLY ONES TO ESTABLISH WE'VE BEEN SERIOUS FOR A LONG TIME.

 

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RESULTS OF THIS NEW EVIDENCE PACKAGE WILL BE, BUT I FEEL I AM MOVING IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION...LET ME EMPHASIZE SOME THINGS TO ALL NEWBIES..AND I HAVE NO DOUBTS ABOUT THESE POINTS, SO MAKE THEM GOSPEL..

 

A. TELL FIANCEE TO KEEP QUIET THROUGHOUT HER PROCESS..AND TO FILL OUT HER OWN FORMS IF POSSIBLE. DON'T GO TO CONSULTATIVE COMPANIES, AND ALWAYS DENY YOU ARE TRYING TO GET A FIANCEE VISA..TELL NO ONE!!

 

B. ALWAYS (NOT MAYBE), MAKE A COMMUNICATION VIDEOTAPE ON THAT FIRST TRIP TO CHINA! (MINE MAY END UP SAVING MY PETITON!)

 

C. TALK TO YOUR LOCAL CONGRESSMAN BEFORE YOU MAKE THE TRIP TO CHINA, AND GET HIS COMMITMENT TO HELP IF YOU NEED FURTHER INTERVENTION

 

D. MAKE SURE ALL YOUR PHOTOS WITH SO ARE DATED..TAKE AS MANY PHOTOS AS YOU CAN OF YOU TOGETHER..THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH

 

E. KEEP HARD COPIES OF EVERY -MAIL THAT GOES BACK AND FORTH..KEPP THEM IN ORDER FROM START TO FINISH, AND INDEX THEM AS YOU GO ALONG IN THE EVENT A QUESTION REGARDING SINCERITY ARISES.

 

I HOPE TO HEAR SOME GOOD NEWS SOON..I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

 

ALEX

[artmill4]

So so sorry to hear of your trouble........I hope for good things for you.

[rogerluli]

We're so glad to hear you're still fighting Alex. You have been scr*w*d so badly by the consulate for whatever reason. Best wishes on finally getting your case resolved and being able to bring your SO here...the same simple thing we all want...

[Guest Gene]

Sounds like you have them on the run Keep goin Alex, You will make it!

[mari]

Wish you the best of lucks, Alex. It's so sad that you have to go through this.

[Redsunset52]

As a newbie I like to thank you for the "heads up " on what we should make sure we do and not do. Best too you , sounds like your heels are dug in and Guongzhuo is on the spotlight .

[resp]

ALEX , don't give up , you will overcome this. best of luck

[warpedbored]

The alegation that someone inside the consulate is on the take is very serious. If true their head should roll. Can you elaborate a little on why you believe this to be so?

[skibum]

Carl - Who in our govt is not on the take?

[obxtrainman]

I work for our government, I am not on the take. But then again, I am lowly electrician.

[Robert S.]

Alex, all during this time I have been hoping you will be able to overcome this injustice.

 

It is interesting to note that the Office of the Inspector General of the State Department has a web page listing something which might describe this case. Under the guidelines for reporting fraud, under the standards of conduct violations, it lists "Alleged or suspected situations potentially affecting public confidence in the integrity of the Department."

 

It seems that your case would fit the bill for this. The site goes on to list and partially describe some of the work the IG has done recently. It lists only one case of visa fraud, does not tell what country, but it must have been the recent case in Mexico that made the news. There is no reason to assume that there is no one at the GZ embassy who could be capable of fraud, in fact there is the suspicious situation of your case.

 

I don't think we ever got a reply from Maura Harty to our last group letter did we? It seems that the head office is taking a head-in-sand approach.

[beijingjenny]

Well done for keeping pushing, Alex, Keep it up.

[Mengxin]

Sounds like your on top of things. Hopefully your new reps will completely support you. Wish you the best of luck man. Keep it up.
