Welcome to our 3 week anniversary.
When Gerlie submitted the additional evidence they requested at her interview, they said she would get notice in 2-3 weeks.
NEWS FLASH! She hasn't gotten a thing.
I promised her that I would call the Embassy if she hadn't heard anything by today, so I called last night. I was quite annoyed by the fact that they wouldn't tell me anything until I gave them my credit card number. (Haven't I already paid for this?) Then AFTER they have my lousy six bucks, they tell me NOTHING! After pressing the Hell out of the very polite, very patient guy on the phone, he said that the Consular Officer assigned to the case had to "...carefully review everything we submitted and they are not done yet." I asked for any idea, any at all!, of when we should expect to hear something--this is where I was pressing, the rest of the info came freely... well for six bucks anyway--and his reluctant answer was "It could be up to another 3 weeks" I very politely voiced my displeasure, thanked him for his time--then again, I paid for it, so wasn't it MY time after all?--and ending the phone call.
Oh boy... another three weeks of waiting. How did we get SO lucky?
I guess Harold made a great point. The more you submit, the longer it takes. But how do you know what it just enough and not too much or too little? What did everyone else submit? Can we help others not make the same mistake I have?
I'm okay, but definitly frustrated. Gerlie is quite upset, as you can imagine, and now doubting the fact that she will be approved at all. I have no doubts, but then again I can be a retard at times 
I told her that I would rather wait an extra three weeks to be approved than get a speedy denial, but that didn't make it's intended impact unfortunately. We still have faith in our relationship, but our optomism is running on fumes!
Maybe, this can start a good discussion here and give me something to take my mind off how mad I am at this process. Harold was right, I should have married her. When did K-1's become such a pain?
Keep the Faith!
