Pins and needles

[Yan and Tom]

Yan is at the consulate at this very moment, with her daughter. I have much confidence but I think many people here are right, it's a bit of a crap shoot. I wasn't able to be there with her. I've asked her to call me after her interview. I know she will be crying. I just hope it's a happy cry.

Thanks

Ive been watching episodes of the Simpsons with my sons.

How late in the day do the interviews usually go? I know she had to get there at 7:00, but what time do they start the interviews? Do the gals stand a better chance if they happen to be adorable and funny?

 

I don't remember if I've ever waited for a phone call that was this important to me. I envy the people that have been able to be there with their SO's. If it's not pink I would love to be there to hold her. If it is pink, I would love to be able to hold her.

You should hear from her around noon, if not earlier I would think.

When I was there last November, everyone started going up around 8 am. My wife came down at 10:30. It won't be long.

mine was one of the last 2 or 3 to come down and was about 12:15PM....i am sure it was getting into there lunch time and is partly the reason the VO was so, shall we say..."short" with her and threatened to call the police to have her removed if she did not leave immediately!

I'm rooting for her too, buddy! Make some decaf tea - it takes up some time.

[steveandrong]

should be about over now....lets hear some good news!

[Yan and Tom]

Bad news.

 

She got a blue slip. I haven't seen it yet but she told me that they want to see my taxes for 2005. The I-134 asks for one years tax return, so, to be prepared I sent two years. Now they ask her for three.

 

I think if I had given her three years of returns they would have probably asked for something else. i want to tell Yan how long of a delay this might be. Any ideas?

[Guest Dylan W]

This isn't really bad news. You know exactly what they need, piece of cake! I thought I read somewhere that you needed 3 years of transcripts. I don't remember where though, maybe it was DavidZ's 'Kitchen Sink' or FAQ's page.

[Guest Rob & Jin]

sorry for the blue, but should be a simple overcome.

 

as Dylan said 3 years of taxes is best.

 

good luck

length of delay, imo, depends on 'how evidence is submitted' - so if is walk in, maybe is less delay than 'mail in ' .. hard to say , without knowing exact contents of blue slip.

 

hang tough...
