Consular Processing Issue
Hello all,
This is my first post here, I hope to hear some good advice from you guys out here as I am really exasperated by the hurdles that my consular office is giving me.
As of today, I've already gone to my local consulate office thrice to submit the job offer letter from my employer in support of my immigrant visa application. The first time, I got rejected because the consular officer told me my annual wage stated in the letter is too low, as compared to the Prevailing Minimum Wage of the state that I'll be working in. The second time, I got a new letter with a revised (higher) annual wage, but according to the officer it still fell short of the PMW. She gave me some figures for the PMW and the filing wage and asked me to get a new letter from my employer matching the filing wage in the Labor Certificate, plus the number of hours I'll be working per week. Third time round, I got a letter stating an hourly wage equal to the filing wage, a range of the no. hrs worked (36-40) PLUS the previously revised annual wage, which does not tally with (in fact, is lower than) the filing wage. So the officer asked me to go back again to wait for the consulate's answer. (This is the way I've been treated in my previous visit too and they'll probably call me again to reject me.)
Now, I am starting to have negative thoughts about this whole thing. Can the consulate finally reject my application and deny me my immigration visa based on any reason arising from the above circumstances? What recourse can I take if it is the case?
Help please!!
