BUBBA, ya done it. :yay: I'm both, extremely happy for ya, and proud of ya.

 

This may or not mean anything, but, while you were gone I read about a mass migration of animals and birds from a wooded area outside Hotlanta. The game control people said they had never seen anything like it...Lester P. Horwinkle, head of the Atlanta Game Control Commission was actually quoted..."shucks damn, I ain't done never did seed nuthin' likey this, it wuz likey all the animals wuz running for their very lives, like something was gonna eat them."

 

You got any ideas, or clues to this strange animal behavior? :eyebrow:

 

Welcome home, brother...and sista HaiHua.

 

Long trip, happy ending...er...ah...BEGINNING

As most here know, my then fiancee was denied a visa at her K1 interview back in August of 2006. Our original plan was to get married after she received the visa so we did just that but in China instead of the USA. I then hired the services of Marc Ellis to guide me with our CR1 visa application. During the first stages of our CR1 quest, Marc felt it best to hear from my then fiancee as to how the interview went. After asking some details about our relationship, he concluded that he felt he knew the reason for our denial.

 

Approximately 8 months after our marriage I filed the I-130 just before the deadline of the fee increases. Our I-130 was heavily front loaded with our relationship evidence and a rebuttal as to why we thought the K1 was denied. Our P2 came about 7 months after our P1.

 

Finally our interview was set for November 10, 2008. My wife did not take the kitchen sink with her to the interview as we felt it was already included in the original I-130 application. She only took chat logs, sample chats, pictures, and other evidence of the ongoing marital relationship after the initial filing of the I-130. We felt it was not necessary to bring repeat information to the interview as they had it already.

 

When my wife approached the VO after her number was called (same number she had at her K1 interview), she simply said "hello how are you doing" in English. The VO said "ok" and proceeded with his questioning in Chinese (did not ask my wife's language preference). She gave him her opened passport and did not give him mine. I had instructed my wife to only give what he asked for. She noted that he kept her passport unlike the K1 interview when she was quickly handed back her passport. She also noted that our file that was on the VO's desk was very thick. Apparently he had our kitchen sink with him.

 

The VO's first question was "how many times has your husband visited you in China?" She replied "6 times including now and he is on the 4th floor waiting for me." The VO looked at he computer and asked her what date I last came. She replied "November 3." The VO looked at the computer screen and said "right." Then the VO asked why we did not apply for her son and my wife replied " he is studying at a university now and he does not want to come to the USA." The VO said "ok." Next the VO asked how we communicated and my wife said " We chat on the internet." (my wife said this in "English). The VO then asked in English to see our photos and to see a sample of our chats. My wife did not understand his English and said "huh?" Then the VO asked the same question in Chinese. My wife said in English "please wait me one moment and I will find for you." The VO said "ok" as he look at our photos. After the VO looked at our sample chats that included screen shots, then he said "Congratulations you have your visa."

 

There was no doubt that the VO had fully intended to give us the visa from the begininning. My wife showed no emotion during the interview, but more of a business like demeanor.

 

She had noted that other interviewees that had a small case file on the VO's desk seem to require many questions from the VO.

 

I also want to mention that as to this date, we never received any notification of our NOID from the USCIS. I spoke with them the day before I left to go to China and they said they would check into it.

 

When we got to the Atlanta POE, we waited about 3 hours together while the CBP processed other applications. They called us up and the officer said that he noticed we had been denied a K1 in the past. I told him that was true but we would not stop trying. He smiled and said "that's how you do it." I also told him that this was our 4th anniversary of meeting and it was a very fitting day to enter the USA. He certainly agreed and said "Congratulations."

 

I highly recommend Marc Ellis to anyone that has been denied a visa in the past. He is diligent and knows what he is doing. I dread to think of what would have happened if we didn't use him.

 

 

Charles buddy! My Friend! I know it would happen for ya!

All the congrats in the world to ya.

 

But ya have to admit, What are the odd?

 

same number she had at her K1 interview

 

IMO; You would have better odds getting stuck buy lighting. :toot:

 

If i was you and this happened to me for the second time i would be saying OH!! Sh&t!! not again! :P

 

But then again, It didn't happen like before.

 

Charles, My wife and I are so happy for you and your wife.

God bless and God speed and enjoy the wonderful life that awaits you and your family.

 

Take care buddy!

I'll try to call ya this weekend.

 

Mike and Hong
