Письмо сенатору

[Bree]

И еще мысля - имеет ли смысл податься в консульство в другом городе? Сестра в Екатеринбурге, этот консул-дурак знает ее в лицо. Может подать в Питере и поехать туда на собеседование?

В Питер, наверное, нельзя, если только в Москву. Там от регистрации(прописки) все зависит.

Стала искать кому же-таки писать.
http://www.legis.state.pa.us" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; дает мне трех мужиков для моего адреса. Самый последний вроде как самый доступный и не такой крутой как первые два. Которому писать?
Find your legislator:
PA House
PA Senate
US House

Интуиция подсказывает надо писать тому у кого будет время рассмотреть мой случай и отреагировать на него. Значит последний?

В любом случае Вашим вопросом будут заниматься не они сами, а их аппарат. Лучше обратиться к одному из сенаторов (US Senate). Просьба сенатора всегда имеет больший вес.

[Lurker meow]

По моему опыту, они вмешиваются если ситуация серьезная, ну или их убедили, что она серьезная. Или установлен контакт с сотрудниками сенатора, и в вас видят людей (которым на определенном этапе хочется по-человечески помочь, особенно опять же если ситуация серьезная), а не просто очередных странных иностранцев. Как-то так.

Letter to US representative of my district in Georgia
Everybody is his office was very nice and helpful

From: XXX

Subject: visa petition for XXX XXXX

Dear Dr. XXX,

I am writing regarding a denied visa application of my son, XXX XXX. He applied for a tourist (non-immigrant) visa to come to the United States in the Fall for the wedding ceremony of my another son XXXXX who lives in XXX with his wife and newborn daughter. XXX was denied by the U.S. Consulate in XXXX without any explanation given. I am asking for your help, if possible, to appeal that decision, so that my son could visit for a short time, celebrate XXX’s wedding, and meet his newborn niece and all his American family. Me and my wife together with our daughters are planning to come the wedding as well.

XXX visited the United States numerous times, and stayed with me and XXX, both U.S. citizens without any problems with law enforcement or the USCIS. He has never overstayed his visa, and always returned home. My son has very strong ties to his current country of residence, XXX, works at a stable job as a sales and logistics manager at XXX Ltd., and has many reasons to return to XXX. He will be traveling to XXX’s wedding celebration with his mother XXX and grandmother on this family trip, who were all granted tourist visas without any issues.

I personally vouch for his intention of returning back to XXX, and respectfully ask for your help with this matter.
The details of his upcoming visa interview are:
Place: US Consulate in XXXX
Date and time: 2 July 2015. 11:00 am XXX time.
Application number: AAXXXXX

I also attach a copy of XXX’s passport.

Thank you

Kot Tisha

Yvsobol, Kot_Tisha, то что надо! Я бы сама так умно и красиво ни в жить не написала! Спасиб большой!
Пишу, потом отчитаюсь о результатах.

[washington]

у знакомой дочери не дали ПМЖ написали на всех сенаторов округа повторно вызвали на интервью само консульство и все одобрили Так что пишите

[Alex_L]

ПМЖ это не гостевая виза.

[irina1976]

Добрый день! Подскажите, пожалуйста письмо сенатору писали сами в произвольной форме или для этого нужен адвокат?

[Alex_L]

Адвокат для этого не нужен. Пишите в произвольной форме. Обязательно пишите чего конкретно вы хотите от сенатора, например обращения с запросом по состоянию вашего дела или содействия в ускорении процесса в связи с какими-то обстоятельствами.

Апдейт. Из оффиса конгрессмена пришло следующее письмо:

Based on the information you provided to our office, it appears your family member Jane Doe, was most likely denied a visa under Section 214b of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Most visitor visa denials fall under Section 214b, which states, “Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a nonimmigrant status...” According to the U.S. Department of State, the vast majority of visitor visas that are denied are denied because the applicants did not prove, beyond reasonable doubt, strong enough ties for returning to their country of residence. While there are general guidelines which govern what constitutes entitlement to a non-immigrant visa, decisions are made on a case-by-case basis by the interviewing Consular officer depending upon the evidence presented by the applicant in their visa application and at the time of their visa interview.

A major concern of the U.S. Department of State has been the frequency in which visitor visas have been used as a way to gain entry to the U.S. and remain. This has caused interviewing officers to look very carefully at an individual’s ties to their home country when making a determination as to entitlement to a visa. It is important to note that during the visa consideration process, the information that is reviewed deals with the individual applicant and the particulars of their status as it relates to their home country. Because Consular officers are required to make their determination based solely on the applicant’s ties to their home country, the ability of the host family, relative, or other relation in the US to pay for the expenses associated with the visit does not establish an applicant’s eligibility for a visa, nor does the fact that other family members may have received a visa. Consular officers are obligated to assume that each applicant for a visitor visa intends to immigrate to the United States and the law places the burden of disproving this assumption squarely on the applicant. When reviewing an individual’s visa application, the adjudicating officer relies primarily on the information contained within the individual’s visa application and looks particularly at their family, community, professional, and economic ties. Because of the number of visa interviews performed at individual Consulates around the world, most visa interviews are only a few minutes in length. The authority to issue or refuse visas is vested solely in consular officers abroad by Section 104(a) of the INA.

A refusal under section 214(b) is not permanent. However, once a decision is made, it is generally reviewed and finalized. There are no appeals. If an individual wants to seek a visa again, they need to apply again and go through the visa application and interview process. This is what your sister will need to do if she would like to be considered again.

If your sister decides to apply again for a visa, the Congressman can provide a letter of interest on her behalf. The letter will provide information on your sister and request that her visa petition be given full consideration. However, the Congressman cannot endorse her visa petition or request a specific outcome. Once the letter is completed, a copy will be forwarded electronically to the US Consulate prior to the new visa interview date. I will also forward a copy to you to provide to your sister to take with her to the interview. Please note, however, that the letter is not a guarantee that the visa will be approved. The decision making authority continues to rest with the interviewing officer and Consulate staff. If your sister decides to apply again and would like a letter of interest, I will need the following information on her:

1) The date of [his/her] upcoming visa interview
2) [His/her] name as it appears on [his/her] passport and visa application
3) [His/her] date-of-birth
4) [His/her] passport number
5) [His/her] family ties to [country of residence] (this should include spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, and siblings)
6) [His/her] economic ties to [country of residence] (this should include any current work, yearly income in US dollars, and any property or savings and their value in US dollars)
7) Information on [his/her] previous international travel experience (this should include where [he/she] traveled, when, and for how long)

I will have the letter drafted once I receive the above information from you. A copy will be e-mailed to the Consulate prior to the interview and I will send a copy to you to forward to your sister to take with her to the interview.

Ну вот. Очередной отказ. И письмо конгрессмена не помогло. Консул это письмо бегло просмотрел и отложил в сторону. После вопроса о семейном статусе (незамужем) потерял к ней всякий интерес. Кроме как ехать в другое посольство в следующий раз - Москву или Питер, мне больше ничего на ум не приходит. Варианты срочно выйти замуж не принимаются.

[Slonjra]

значит, что-то есть неправильное или в ее биографии или в вашей.
поездка в другое посольство скорее всего будет тоже бесполезной (((

Да нет ничего особенного. Мы иммигрировали по рабочей визе в 2000 году, грин карта, потом гражданство - все легально. Кстати у них старая анкета консулу не видна, каждый раз надо делать новую, поэтому я сомневаюсь что какая-то старая история у них в компе имеет вес. И у сестры тоже ничего примечательного в биографии нет. Кроме как незамужем она.

Зря сомневаетесь. Всю предыдущую историю подач на визы выуживают ДО интервью. В наше время это не проблема.
