hey people!!!
Some of you prolly receive my e-mail a couple days ago about prayer requests, in case you didn’t let me know, so you can pray for the things that need to be done before I can go to the missions.
Right now I’m at an Iternet cafe in Santo Domingo, because I showed up too early for my appointment. So I thougth it would be good to take some time to post something about the “transit visa”.
Well, first of all the American embassy requires you to bring a lot of documents that they are going to check if they want to, cases where people bring a lot of documents and then they don’t check are heard very often, but either they check your documents or not, it is a yes or no thing. REALLY COMPLICATED.
I made this appointment a month ago, suppousing that I would get all the documents from the “other” embassy before that, but…. I haven’t been able to get the “other” visa yet, it means that I have little proof that I’m really going to “the other country”.
I found this in the american embassy website.
Section 214(b) is part of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). It 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…
So according to this and some people I have asked before is something about being honest with them, but they can believe you or not.
There might be three possibilities:
1. I get the transit visa, then I apply for the other visa and then I go
2. I don’t get the transit visa for lack of proof, US$150 are wasted, and then apply again in a month.
3. there is a little possibility that I don’t get the visa because there’s a residency visa in proccess from my dad, It means that I’ll have to wait like a year befor I can go through the states, or aply for another visa in another country (it means 300 dollars more in flight + paperwork)
Don’t forget to pray as much as you can.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
James 5:16
Anyways my interview is in a couple minutes (like 60) I’ll let you know how did it go.
He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He. Deut. 32:4.
God is faithful and His plans will prevail. I am studying the life of Moses this year and so far I can only see God working for good, even in the trials and sufferings of His people. He will provide in His perfect time and you do not need to worry. Be faithful and follow Him. He will work out all of the details. Keep on trusting Him. I love what He is doing in your life.
In His strong grip, Deb Knihal
Praying for you man
