Next he asked me if I knew that she had been married twice before and that he believed that she was just using me to get a ticket to America. I told him that I was fully aware of her prior marriages and had discussed it with her on many occasions. I told him that I had even spoken with her first ex husband on the phone. He seemed satisfied with that and let me return to my fiancée and the interview.
Later on in the interview my fiancée and the other consular interviewer were discussing her exit from the U.S. in 1997. The blonde supervisor stopped by and joined in the discussion. With four of us there together there started to be a little confusion. The blonde supervisor was now pressing on my fiancée again in an authoritative and threatening manner. He was all confused about the sequence of events. I attempted to interrupt and explain to him what he was misinterpreting. He turned to me and like a dog owner barked at me in a harsh tone and instructed me to go sit down. After a few minutes he motioned for me to return only to explain to me that he was overruling the interviewer and sending this petition back for administrative review.
Now I understand and appreciate that it is the consular's job to weed out undesirable applicants. However I do not feel, as an American citizen, that I need to be threatened, intimidated and told that my choice of a spouse is wrong by members of my own government! Further it seems to me that this blonde haired supervisor had clearly expressed his bias towards my fiancée in the first 5 minutes of the interview way before making any objective decisions. And I do not appreciate having to suffer for somebody else's prejudices!
In my latest attempt to
ascertain this consular's name another employee of the Embassy emailed me.
Normally they do not identify themselves however this time they did. It
was signed Maria Rudensky Silver, Chief Immigrant Visa Section. I had emailed
Ms. Silver back inquiring again for that blonde haired consulars name. As
expected she has not responded. I therefore feel compelled to also file a
formal complaint against Ms Silver for refusing to provide me this man's
name.
Please do whatever is
required to file an official complaint against both Ms. Silver and this blonde
haired supervisor consular. I want it to be known and logged. I also would
like to have confirmation that my complaints were indeed registered. If you
need any further assistance from me to do this then feel free to contact me.
I await your response.
Sincerely
Andrew
