Good News... Another Case Cleared

[fw1010]

All, Just called DOS and got good news that my fiancee's case was cleared on 3/31/03. It was cabled to GZ. Her inteview date was 12/30/02. The Visa specialist I spoke to today was very helpful, she also provided me the cable number for the case.

 

Here are some info. I found out today:

I called DOS 2 days ago, and some lady told me as usual my case was pending and it was be automatically re-submitted after 90 days, call back next week. I think she was just trying to get me off the phone. I felt very dissatisfied because, it's been 90 days and our case still haven't been re-submitted. So, I decided to call again and try to speak with a supervisor. After speaking with another helpful lady today, I found out, the 90 days re-submission was no longer valid because the re-submission was causing duplicate problem a while back. First, the lady looked up my case in the standard database and, it was shown as pending. Then she said, she will look into another database, there she said my case was cleared on 3/31 and cabled to GZ. She said the standard database needs couple days for the cleared status to appear, because GZ needs to update them. I think I have read some post about this...... It seems DOS has a database with GZ and another database with gov. agency issuing the clearance...... The clearance is cabled to GZ first, then updated in the standard database by GZ, then DOS hotline can finally see the status change. This is just my speculation. I will keep everyone updated on our case status. Good luck to all.

Sounds like light at end of tunnel for you. After a nice helpful DOS lady called me and told me thata cable had been sent to GZ, we received EMS just 10 days later.

That's great news. And thanks for the info about interagency communication. I am beginning to wonder why the system is so hard copy reliant. Guangzhou tells me that it is difficult to match the actual file with the clearance. Obviously they have a very antiquated system.
