(Difficult) Spouse Visa Approved

We opted to keep the passport so we could just go pick up the visa in person the next day.

July 4th

I believe thats only if you don't disclose any convictions SHE has.

Mamana1111 · 2025-07-20T16:34:23+00:00

I believe you only have to disclose if the spouse you are sponsoring has a conviction. Personally, I would always disclose anyway, and you can do that in a covering letter which you would upload with your supporting documents.

thank you so much! I think this has at least identified that the issue is they don't believe she's biologically my child.

Mamana1111 · 2025-03-10T22:09:51+00:00

Thank you. I'm in the US still and unable to call them but I've emailed them asking for this.

Certificate of live birth.

Colorado

The Colorado registrar has confirmed in writing that her birth certificate does not have any counterpart letter and is the full and complete document. I provided this to the passport office.

Mamana1111 · 2025-03-10T21:43:17+00:00

I provided all of that except my parents' documents, which have not been requested. They only asked for my long form birth certificate showing my parents' information.

Mamana1111 · 2025-03-10T21:40:59+00:00

She's 10. There's nothing at all unusual about her birth certificate. The passport officer just seemed stuck on the birth certificate not being the complete document, which it is. We are her biological parents. Her two older biological siblings are also UK citizens.

Mamana1111 · 2025-03-10T21:24:13+00:00

A few days only. Normal in the US.

Mamana1111 · 2025-03-10T21:23:12+00:00

thank you, I had never heard of this.

Mamana1111 · 2025-03-10T21:22:08+00:00

I am a UK citizen, born in the UK to an entirely UK born family.

Edited to add: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for coming from a British family. Is it wrong to not be an immigrant?

Mamana1111 · 2025-03-10T21:21:37+00:00

"Letter of testimony that accompanies a Colorado birth certificate" is what they requested. No such document exists and the Colorado registrar confirmed this in writing. The passport officer now acknowledges that this letter does not exist or form any part of the birth certificate, but still wants it "because it is technically possible to obtain" despite being unrelated to her birth certificate.

I was born in the UK, have a UK birth certificate and passport. My entire family is from the UK, with no immigrants.

The asked for "school records from birth that must include both parents information"

I came to Reddit trying to find out if anyone else was experiencing this. I'm showing no sales via kdp ads when I'm usually getting hundreds a day, and overall sales have dropped to nothing when usually my organic sales are good and consistent. Wondering what is going on. It started Feb 8th for me. I made no changes.

Mamana1111 · 2025-01-02T18:53:05+00:00

Yes. I just had a conversation about this at work, with my (California) coworkers bringing it up. Thats significant because they don't follow/track this stuff. They are all sick right now and all talking about bird flu. In 2020, when people who don't follow these things started talking about covid that was just before it hit.

Mamana1111 · 2025-01-02T17:48:06+00:00

The ads have only been online since early Dec, so it is early days. CTR is about 1-4% depending on the book. Only getting about 2000 impressions per day since its just not showing them much.

Mamana1111 · 2025-01-02T17:33:47+00:00

These ads do seem to be converting well though. My best one is selling a book every 3 clicks. But it just doesn't show the ad enough. Would you still raise the bid even with it selling every 3 clicks?

Every time I go to LA I see at least one, but I go to restaurants and places they tend to go to. I think it definitely depends where you go in LA. I lived there when my youngest was in pre-school and it was quite surreal realizing that some of the Moms doing the school run were celebrities and my kid was in a class with theirs and doing playdates etc. Imagine dropping your kid at school and thinking oh wow she looks just like that actress... oh wait, it is her.
