This is another letter I will send (fax and email) to both, Im not real concerned about it being perfect. we all know Im not good at letters, hehehehehehehe. Folks, knowing what I know as of this morning, I highly suggest we all get to writing a solo letter. please feel free to use this one if you like, make changes as you like but please, if you want your loved one, send some letters. Dear Maura Harty, cc GZ Consulate I would like your help to locate my fiancée’s clearance check. I have waited since 8/22/2002 since the interview, and since 6/22/2002 when the name check was submitted the first time. This is now 6 months since the name check was started. I have talked with so many people and still, I cannot get an answer. So far no one seems to know where our clearance check is at this point. I have heard from the Consulate in Guangzhou it is in the hands of DOS, and I have heard from DOS that is in the hands of Guangzhou. I have heard it needs to be re-entered. I have heard it doesn’t need to be re-entered. I have heard over 5000 name checks were sent to Guangzhou. But still, we have no visa, no answer, no hope and no one willing to help. Is it lost? Was it entered wrong? Was it re-entered? Is it in Guangzhou? Is it finished? If it is lost, what needs to be done to find it? If it has been entered wrong, what needs to be done to fix it? If it has been re-entered, when? If it is finished and in Guangzhou, how long has it been there? If it hasn’t been re-entered, why? And when will it be re-entered. Surely, you understand the pain my fiancée and myself has been through during this change in policy. While we still wait for the clearance, many waiting half the time we have, continue to be moved to the front of the line to receive their visas and be united with their loved ones. Is this fair? I do not think it would be fair, at this point, to get another form letter telling me still pending the name check. The name check should have been finished months ago, before more recent checks were completed. I would be very thankful if both CA and the Consulate in Guangzhou would look into our case and find the reason we have no visa. Thank you,
