I'm also in Yemen since January and I sent a message to my senators and mayor on their websites, my mayor replied by forwarding the email I sent to my congressman and they contacted me by email and my senators aide also send me an email and I had to sign a release form and send it back to her by email so she can contact NVC on my behalf I send my senators aide an email yesterday she told me if I don't hear from the embassy by January she would be happy to contact them on my behalf. Just keep trying insha'allah they will respond to you.

yea u cant blame them for asking for so much from us cuz they need proof and stuff and its because ppl take advantage. but i dont trust the yemeni ppl that work in embassy idk y . my neighbor has been in AP for like 3 years i think. its unbelivable. he can sue them after 3 years ofAP. but his wife dont speak or write english or arabic lol. and the first time she went to ameriica was after marriage.

the Yemeni ppl who work there treat us so badly I don't know what they have against us Americans. Wallah every time I go to the embassy I feel so disrespected and offended I hate going to the embassy.

i think its a lie they can expedite cases when ever they want. and why is it that some cases take longer then others what information are they waiting for when they do background checks it should just take a day or to its like doing research and they shouldnt be lieing to us like that . cuz if they were in our shoes they would be pissed off.

Thats our embassy for yah this can only happen in yemen and they don't care how we feel cause so much people entered America the illegal way their the ones who should be punished not us why do we have to suffer for what they did INSHA'ALLAH one day they all will get kicked out of America and suffer like we are now. The embassy is already starting to take passports from people who entered America illegally so they can't go back there is 20 cases already. I'm mad caused they made it harder for the. Consular officers to believe anyone now they don't trust any Yemeni now I kinda don't blame them.

i sent my congresswomen an email but she has not replied to me yet. i dont know what she will say back and if she will help me. my congresswomen is carolyn maloney. does anyone have the same congresswmen

my congressman contacted the embassy about my case 3 weeks ago this is what they replied to her.

Hi Shelly,

These cases are in "administrative processing" and that can take several months. We are currently working with Washington to speed up those that have been waiting for more than six months, but we can't request expedited processing for cases pending less than six months, such as these.

Regards,

Ellen

Hopefully now that it has been more than six months they'll speed it up insha'allah for us all.

Hi all.. great news today!  My fiancé FINALLY received his visa today!  We are so very excited!  Looks like "my visa journey" with this embassy at least, is complete! 
 
I wish everyone here luck and that your process goes quickly.  Hopefully they will work on the horribly long wait times. 
 
For those of you that are in the U.S. - please contact your congressman with your situation and explain the wait times/poor service that you are or have experienced.  Maybe they will eventually get a clue as to what actually happens there.  From my experience, it does help to contact your Congressman, as every time that I did it seemed that things started to move with our case.



Congrats Alhamdillah you are through with the embassy insha'allah your luck will rub off on all of us here :) I have been in contact with my congressman and senators for a while now they try their best but u know how it is with our embassy never help with anything. Allah Kareem

i filed at the end of december of 2010. i dont wanna sound noisy but im so curious of why u had ur kids in yemen . u dont have to answer that its just somethin i wanted to tell u.

I had my kids in Yemen cause I thought I could get them passports but it wasn't as easy as I thought. They were denied passports because I couldn't prove my residency. I left newyork when I was 16 that was in 1992 I have 5 children 2 from previous marriage and 3 from my current marriage my last child I had in Michigan didn't want to make the same mistake again and have him in Yemen. I applied for my 4 children and husband all at the same time but my older children were denied because I had gotten their birth certificates when they were older so USCIS asked for more evidence the only way I can prove they are my kids is by DNA and at that time the embassy wasn't testing anyone because of the shipping embargo and their wasn't any other way I can prove they're my kids I sent affidavits but that wasn't enough so they got denied but I appealed and the appeal worked and I got another chance to present evidence so we went with DNA. We sent the test kits to the embassy but they wouldn't test us because they have to go by the order they receive the cases even though my kids had a deadline to present the evidence the embassy didnt care. Now I'm waiting for what USCIS is going to respond to our evidence we sent the receipts of the DNA kits and DHL shippment info now I just have to pray. Can everyone please pray for my family I've been through so much only Allah knows. Thanks

So i refreshed my email a few mins ago and i see an email from Sanaaiv. it was sent to me at 11:34 lol so they r starting to respond to ppls emails.this is wat it says


Thank you for your inquiry. This case is still undergoing administrative processing to ensure it meets all qualifications for an immigrant visa.

We realize these extended time periods cause frustration for many individuals, and we are sensitive to the fact that the purpose of the immigrant visa program is to re-unite families. We cannot predict when the processing of the visas will be completed, but be assured that we are aware of your concerns and will do everything we can to adjudicate the visas as soon as all necessary processes are complete.

Best,

Sanaa IV Unit








sorry to tell u this but I got the exact email three months ago.

My fiancé finally got a call from the Embassy to come and pick up his passport/visa.  His appt. is tomorrow at 10am.  FINALLY going to be done dealing with this Embassy. 
 
I did have to contact my Congressman again to get this moving.  It seems that every time I contacted him there was movement with his case.  So, anyone who is having a hard time I suggest contacting your local representative. 
 
I told him to call me as soon as he gets done at his appointment, so I will post here to let everyone know how it went for him. :) 



Congrats your journey is finally over. Insha'allah we all get that call soon.

My RFE never came . I called them and they're sending it again. Told me 15days or less. I hope its something as simple as letter of intent

 

 

When was the system updated for your RFE, i mean did you wait 30 days before you called them back because they wouldn't do anything for me until after 30 days?

Just got off the phone and spoke to someone who was very helpful.. He pulled the system and said the last case the CSC worked on was March 12 so at the very least it gives me an idea that my case is about a month away.  I filed on April 12.  Wish everyone the best of luck for those who are still waiting for approval.  It's not easy sitting through this with uncertainty.

No expedite is a request to get yours processed faster than others - in other words, skip to the front of the line so to speak. There are certain situations where you can request this, such as being in the military. So I was wondering if you requested an expedite as to the reason why yours was processed so early.

Yeah i got what you meant but no, nothing of that sort was requested. I filled a normal K1 visa.

Wow congratulations. smile.png. Why did you get such an early approval? Do they expedite Sanas Yemen petitions?

Thanks:) and I'm not really sure but maybe it has to do with how much effort i put into it. I really worked to make it as perfect as possible and provided them with everything they needed and even more so maybe that helped:/ 

 

Hahaha expedite? You mean make more hectic and longer? Everyone i know has been given the hardest time... most have been waiting for years for an NO2. But i dont know why mine was approved so fast:/
