I went yesterday… They didn’t approve it on spot… It was a TERRIBLE experience… and they said that in a couple of weeks they would send either a RFE or a Noid, or the approval… in that order… Other 5 friends also from BDV were there yesterday and they didn’t get the approval too..

@Lily C oh no lily! why was it so terrible?

the same here, he said he will issue RFE for me as well. Also 1 other friend the same. He had all documents but still no answer.

@Abe Moor there’s a post below yours with similar experience at Kansas as well. that’s so annoying 🫠

@Abe Moor same here.. I took EVERYTHING… She kept my F1’s (even tho I’m pretty sure it’s attached on my file already 🤷🏼‍♀️), my tax files, old EAD’s (she left me only the one that is current), medical exams, supplement J, but I had with me paystubs (which she didn’t ask), all notices, anyway… I gave her my BDV’s contract… it was the first thing that she asked for… she held it too… Now I’m back at the waiting time 😕

@GB B the officer was extremely arrogant and mean… Scoffing to EVERY answer I provided her, giving me little laughs like she was doubting about my answers… reminded me several times that I was under the oath.. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I was expecting it to be bad, but not so bad… it drained me and my husband at a point that we feel extremely exhausted and sad…

@Lily C I’m sorry to hear that! there’s no reason for them to treat us like that! we are on the same boat exhausted and sad!!! but let’s keep our hopes up because we invested so much on this and we deserve a decent outcome l!

they have this ready made qsn fro everyone in kc

every one which have given interviews recently on kc said they were asked of same exact qsns

@Lily C oh My God! this is the first time I am hearing about NOID from any Eb3 interview experience. and as you said you had all your documents and provided whatever they asked for, then What RFE they are going to ask you?

@G C like I said, 5 of my friends were in the waiting room with me.. The officer asked if I knew them… I said yes.. And she asked: what were you talking about? 😒🤷🏼‍♀️ and I said: 2 of our friends are having their interview now so we were wondering how it was going.. And she said: were you talking about BDV? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ And I said: no.. there’s nothing to talk about BDV.. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

@MZ A exactly… they mentioned NOID to one of my friends too… The officer asked me: what if I deny your application? And I answered: Than, I did everything I could.. 😕

@Lily C was that the same officer for you and your friend? I would say you handled it well even in this extremely tense situation.

@MZ A No, different officers… 2 friends got the same officer, but mine, between my friends, I was the only one who had the interview with her…

@Lily C but I would say and i see it as a positive, if the officer were to deny, they won’t ask and if i deny. it sems more like scaring tactics, putting candidates at the spot and make them say some stupid comments.

@Lily C I think they are suspicious of BDV, they asked me a lot about BDV. And, if I knew anyone that is also BDV client. They even asked if my roommate was a BDV client. I don't think this RFEs are case based. It seems like all these are tied to BDV.

@Lily C did you take attorney with you?

@Amin Goretz I didn’t. I honestly have zero contact with envoy or BDV since I started working for my sponsor.. I contacted envoy only to get my supplement J filled.. And I don’t think they are helpful.. 😕

@Abe Moor they asked me that too.. Asked me to write on a paper everyone I knew that was also a BDV client.. which I did..

i feel people who arenot working for the sponsor should start heading back after being current just to be on a safe side things are crazy these days

@Abe Moor @Lily C I’m wondering if something happened with BDV sponsors in KC. couple friends had tough interviews in Indiana last month but nothing like that.

@Lily C what is your FO?

it doesnt look like they approve eb3 unskilled on the spot anymore as far of I know. I interviewed 2 weeks ago in WAS FO and my case status is still showing as interview scheduled. The officer told me that the decision will be made within 180 days 🙃🙃🙃

@GB B I guess there were too many BDV clients for the same sponsor, might trigger a strick check.

@MZ A BDV is clear. there’s no fraudulent cases so far against them but I see it might raise some 🚩

@GB B agreed. BDV contract is clear and doesn’t not show any fraudulent intent. many clients getting their approval left and right every week. there might be something that triggered some strickness in some FO. may be some clients said something they shouldn’t have said and caused suspicions. for example, I heard some clients said, “they paid sponsors”, which is not true because BDV is not their sponsor, and Visa officer took that as a potential fraud.

@Lily C Really? I was offered attorney for interview from envoy for 1900$

My I-485j was approved yesterday! my pd is sep 21. Does that mean anything?

@MZ A agree 10000%%%

BDV scheme is finally melting out

I had my interview in KC yesterday and I am from BDV. It was fine and she said “I will try to make a decision by the end of this week” I haven’t heard anything so far. just waiting.

@Gabi Moba congratulations 🎈🎊🎉🍾 what is your pd?

looks like they are giving hard time for AOS applicants during the interview while consular applicants are getting their visa approved on the spot and their interview are way simple. I think all recent approval are from consular process and there is no priority for AOS applicants.

@Ashleigh Brands what scheme are you talking about?

i had my interview and it went well. officer asked me few questions and my interview lasted for 30 minutes. At last she told me to receive an notice within 7-10 days.

@ramis ali do you have dependents? are you bdv client? Kansas City FO? when was your interview?

@sharmeen moona No, i didn't have any dependents. Yes i am bdv client. kansas city field office and i had my interview on nov 3

Me too. I had just a few questions, 30 30-minute interview most was about BDV. my wife took 1 hour because of her level of English. My office was very polite. She said will review our documents that we gave to her and it will probably send RFE If needs anything else. and We got RFE on the same day.

@ramis ali who is your sponsor? Macdonald's? they didn't ask you too many questions about bdv? what did they ask about bdv?

@unskill_PD April30 2021 . do you know rfe about what yet? did you give supp j and medical at that time?
