AZwolfman Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Here is email received today. Nothing new except for the first 3 paragraphs. Maybe we should invite the Consulate officers to become members and they could post their form letters directly on this board? Dear xxxxx: Assistant Secretary Maura Harty has asked us to respond to your e-mail ofJanuary 27 requesting information about the fiancée visa application of xxxxxxx. We have corresponded with you previously about this case, but itappears from your latest e-mail that you may not have received our e-mail ofJanuary 13. Let me assure you that all of us at the Department of Statefully understand that delays in visa issuance are seriously complicating thelives of applicants and of those who are waiting for their arrival. In our January 13 e-mail, we explained that your fiancée's case is currentlypending completion of required security-related vetting through aninteragency clearance process. Changes to this process made in July 2002,together with communications problems, computer issues, and vastly increasedwork volumes, had the effect of delaying many clearances, especially thosedating from the period July to October 2002. We are working with the relevant agencies to complete all clearancerequests, including that of your fiancée. We are also working withtechnical experts here in Washington in an attempt to find new ways toexpedite the clearance process. The Department of State, in its visa processes, will continue to carry outscrupulously all legal and procedural requirements for the protection of thesecurity of the United States. When Ms. Han's clearance process isconcluded, the Consulate will notify her. I hope and trust that the outcomewill be favorable, and will not be delayed much longer. We hope this information is helpful. Sincerely, Lisa Piascik Director Office of Public and Diplomatic LiaisonVisa Services Link to comment

AZwolfman Posted January 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 Well, at least they are responding. I wounder how long they can keep this form letter alive But now they are responding to a response. She actually referred to my earlier letter. The way I took the response is, "We already answered your emai once. We already responded to you once. You must not have read it, so here it is again." Maybe I am annoying someone at CA. Is this bad?

However, although the letters are 90% the same, it's worth reading completely. Today I got an email from L Piascick with the same stuff.. Almost was about to hit the delete button when I noticed a burried paragraph, saying that Y case indeed was resub's 1/27 ( which the consulate emailed me that day to tell me ). I got Piascki's email literally 5 mns before I was dialing DoS to confirm that resub date ( we know better right? ). Then the letter continued blah blah blah...BS BS BS.. you know the rest..I guess they do look up the case status before responding.. Link to comment
