gongfuman Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 About a week and a half ago I also received a "on hold" letter from Harty, but have been unable to verify this in my calls to dos (1225) and ca. They always tell me that my wife's case is not on hold. Has anybody been able to verify their "on hold" status? Link to comment

Lurker Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 About a week and a half ago I also received a "on hold" letter from Harty, but have been unable to verify this in my calls to dos (1225) and ca. They always tell me that my wife's case is not on hold. Has anybody been able to verify their "on hold" status?There have been many cases on CFL where, in terms of government action, the "right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing." For example, some applicants received emails saying their visa was still pending--after they received their EMS. Has anyone here or on 001 received an EMS after receiving the "on-hold" paragraph? I have not heard of that happening. Until I do, I can only assume the "on-hold" status appears to be just that. Link to comment
gongfuman Posted March 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Just got a reply back from Harty's office and they confirmed that our case really is on hold. Here's the reply. Dear Mr. ******: Assistant Secretary Maura Harty has asked us to respond to your e-mail of March 18 requesting information about the immigrant visa application of ********. Our last communication with you regarding this matter was dated March 10. We checked again on your wife's clearance and confirmed that a government agency has placed a hold on the process. There have been no developments in this case since our last e-mail. When the clearance process is concluded, the Consulate will notify Ms. ******. I regret that our reply could not be more favorable. Sincerely, Lisa PiascikDirectorOffice of Public and Diplomatic LiaisonVisa Services What a help they are! Link to comment
Eric&Yuhui Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 This "hold" business has me concerned for the guys waiting... It seems that those holds are popping out more frequently in the past 2 weeks..... Am I reading that trend wrong ?I mean, we had ZERO hold cases for months.. Why now? It can't just be a name similarity to a bad guy/gal type of thing, otherwise it wouldn't just occur recently... Link to comment
AZwolfman Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 That is possible, Don, and I hope it is true. But DOS could at least tell us that they were being more open in their information to us. I still don't like this secrecy. Link to comment
Eric&Yuhui Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 I wonder if DOS is just being more forthcoming? Perhaps that is why some of the black-holers took so much longer - except they weren't told there was a hit? You're right, though....never saw emails like these until the last few weeks.Don.. You might just be right on that one my man....And God knows I hate to agree with you ( just payback from a post you sneaked in a few weeks ago.. LOL ) Link to comment
Nicole Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 my fiance tried to asked andew and harty that why I was on hold. they did not know either. do you think that there is a attorney can do some help? Link to comment
Mick Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Like so many other things in this long, sordid process, I doubt we will ever know the full truth about the "on hold" mess. Link to comment
Nicole Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 all I want to know that they call tell us why I was on hold and how long time that I we have to wait. Link to comment
