If we do write letters, is there a specific address to send this to? Or just the one on the Google doc?

Thanks for whoever is organizing this!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)K1....AP HOW LONG ... ??

My fiance's interview was in January and he needed to submit a doc so was put in AP. CO said 2 wks after he submits the docs we should get the visa, and that all was approved. Finishing up 2 months now since docs were submitted and still nothing. The FBI websites state that the security checks can take up to 6 months sometimes depending on the name/country of the petitioner. Hearing some of you mention 7 months though leaves one a bit hopeless.

I'm in the same boat as you. My fiance had his interview in jan too. No updates in my case for 2 months now. Hoping for the best for us all.

Embassy does not issue immigrant visa with the expired medical. You should contact embassy and do a new medical ASAP!

My fiances expires next month so i became proactive and emailed them after what you guys said, and hinted that if they can issue the visa before that it'll be great :P No harm in trying... especially since they've updated the date on ceac more frequently of recent for our case.

Ahmadjutt on some other sites I've read if your case creation date changes to current that means they're issuing the visa. Hoping good news for you soon and for us all waiting!

Austin Guy,

 

It is good that your status date keeps changing. How much longer is your medical good for? The embassy is calling people and asking them if they can fly to the USA before the medical expires which means their

visa might not be good for 6 months.

 

My husbands medical is good until March 25 2014. I told him to tell his family that he can fly before that date if the embassy should call and ask a family member.

 

My fiances medical expires next month. I'm hoping they'll give it to him soon so he can fly here before the holidays! Our visa updated many times with last being nov 5 and 6. I keep hoping I hear something positive soon.

My case has had updates sense my husband had his interview. The embassy wrote my senator and said they will finish our case soon. I keep praying and praying that after 4
years of marriage they will see we are a bona fide couple and issue the visa.

I am thinking positive and getting the house ready for my husband. I am cleaning and throwing out things we don't need. It keeps me busy and gives me hope.


That is good news! Of course call me pessimistic but until it shows Issued you never know whom to trust. Prayers still going your way!

it looks like u must have some serious connections with white house , rofl.gif

haha i must! 

 

First it updated from DOS on Eid on oct 17 likely since it was Eid and embassy was closed, then 22nd, then 28th and now 30th. I'm just making people work at off times and holidays :/

Thank you all for your kind and encouraging words. I called DOS yesterday. The lady I talked to said send in fresh medical and documents they are ready to issue the visa

I just want to be sure because the medical costs $130 along with travel expenses. I could use that money to buy food for my son. I don't have money to waste on a medical
that is not needed. Please continue to pray for me and my husband. I believe that prayer changes things for the better.


 

 

Hopefully thats all good news!! and yours goes quickly 

 

 

On a weird note.. I just noticed the ceac website updated my case just now to "30th Oct".. how does that even make sense? It's past midnight in the pak embassy and even US time its not the 30th. I called DOS about it but they said they can't see the ceac website but as of yesterday I'm still in AP. My case has been updated more frequently in the last 10 days. Hopefully that also means good news for me, but the Oct 30th just threw me off.

this is really odd. My status has not been updated for 3 months and then 10/17 gets updated..still in AP but i'm very surprised that embassy updated especially on Eid holiday. I'm hoping this is a sign of something good to come in the next 1-2 wks.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)New Islamabad AP Tracker

I called the DOS today to see what the situation was with my k1 since its been 6 months in AP. The lady was somewhat annoyed that the CO told us 2-3 wks, and said they need to not do that and actually give us a timeline that is actually real instead of just hanging us out to dry. I asked her then if my fiance should ask for his passport back as we were thinking about meeting up in a 3rd country and she said that she can't tell me all the details but if she was me she would not ask for her passport back yet as its right at the end. 

 

Probably the most information I've gotten in all of my DOS calls. Hoping and Praying for some good news in the next few weeks.

Ours was also updated, but on July 15. I think the embassy did a standard roundup and updated a bunch. I doubt they actually looked at 50 people's cases in 1 day when they can't even look at a few on a regular basis.

Question: has anyone had issues asking for their passport back to travel elsewhere, without delaying the AP? My fiance(male) had his interview jan 25 and we are still waiting in AP. I would like to meet him elsewhere if able.

Our case is updated today 21-DEC. They also called to setup an appointment for fingerprints and oath. I think embassy open on Saturday but they are not open for public on weekends.


Hey what number was it from? A standard mobile number or an Islamabad 051 or whatever area code they have?

I just want to clarify that medical has now changed to every 6 months. My fiancé just went I to get his done after the year and he asked specifically and the doctor on the panel told him now they've changed guidelines to every 6 months for new medical since a lot of people were coming with TB.

Guys I am happy to report that today on the CEAC site my wife's case shows ISSUED!

 

her interview was in Oct 2012 and I applied September 2011. So glad this is ove, still in shock not sure if this is real.

 

My prayers are with everyone else who is still waiting. It took us 14 months in AP for a standard case so don't lose hope. Your time will come!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)A Number Change?
My husband received an A-number in 2010. We submitted an I-601 waiver on 2/6/2013. On 2/12/13, it said his A-number had been changed. I called USCIS today and they said it wasn't just a glitch and it was real activity. They said they needed to transfer me to another rep to explain more in detail what was happening. It was close to closing sot the other rep never answered..... What does this mean? He was assigned a number, why would it change? I'm afraid when I call tomorrow I will not get the same assistance I did today (I haven't in the past!) Thank You for any info passed my way!! :help:

Has anyone ever had experience with Nebraska? About how long does it take for them to process applications (I-601)? The website says 4 months, but I was curious is this time was accurate... (Or do they normally take longer) Thank you for all your input! I am just anxious because my husband has been out of the country for a year and missed the birth of our baby! We had a receipt for the I-601 sent to us on Feb 6, 2013... So I know we still have time left, I just do not want to get hopes up if it is not as close as the website says! good.gif

I just wanted to provide an update for anyone who has filed through Nebraska... I spoke with them today and they said they are processing the filing date January 16th, 2013 for the I-601. :sad: My date received is February 6th, 2013. They said to call back in 3-4 weeks if I have not heard anything by then and they would give me an update but that this would be considered like our new processing time. This means another medical I'm sure and another couple months minimum before my hubs is able to come back ClockWatch2.gif

I believe you would get it at the US Embassy in Vietnam. There may be a way to get it in the US too. Here is the info I found on the Vietnam US Embassy site. http://vietnam.usemb.../notarials.html

 

Edit: After looking I only found the need for the Affidavit if getting married.

One question regarding the Medical Exam:

 

What sheet exactly is the "medical appointment letter"?  

 

My fiance's packet 4 never arrived here in the DR, but arrived at my U.S. residence.  I work seasonally here in the DR, so I had the originals brought down by a friend... Is the "medical appt letter" the same as page one of packet 4, the blue interview letter?

 

Thanks for any help and good luck to all as well.

I had my request expedited. Backing that up with contacting my representative/senator to seek out their contacts with the USCIS service center which was handling the application. I recieved a denial within a month of initial submission.
