K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAGE DIFFERENCE
I am 14 years older than my hubby.
We applied for a K1 and it was returned to USCIS after a horrible interview.
I now know I should have gone with him, but it was hard because of work and other things here. We married in October in Jordan about a month after the bad experience. I KNOW age is what the CO held against us, although the 221g doesn't say that. It was in the things she said to him.

Now, I have made 2 more trips there (one 45 days, one 16 days) and I will be at the interview. I have printed the first page of EVERY conversation we've had online since the day we met (and we talk every day). I also have all my phone bills and evidence of the numerous text messages we send every day (averages about 60 a day, sometimes more). We also have about 3000 pictures now from my time in Jordan with him. I will take every piece of paper I have to take to prove we are real. But what I really hope is that the CO can LOOK at us and see how we feel. Our friends and family say it's clear in our pics and when we are together... so I hope the CO sees it too.

K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI130 Filing
I need advice ASAP!
Is the marriage certificate and the marriage contract from a foreign country like Jordan the same document?
The only thing we seem to be able to get is a copy of the entire contract. Is this acceptable or do we need something else? I thought I had this all ready to send back to the states, but now I am not so sure!

Christi....
I am praying for you guys (for all of us stuck in this uscis hell).

I am actually trying to stay off this site for the rest of my time with my husband. It was making me crazy! Watching all the approvals after ours and all! So I am trying not to think about it for now and decided just to deal with it next week when I get back. Not much I can do from here any way. We are headed to the beach for a couple days and the laptop will stay home... LOL! Gotta have a break!

Hope you get the good news we ALL need soon!
Keep us posted... and I will too!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Admin Processing (what the heck)
If anyone starts a petition... PLEASE let me know!
I am so sick of all this s#*t!
Our K1 was sent back to USCIS in Sept 09. We withdrew it and married in Oct last year and applied for the CR1.
Our interview was this week and ... AP... back to DOS.
The interview was a nightmare. We were the first there and the last to leave. After the CO talked to us, we were separated and grilled by a DOS guy and homeland security officer. Then a 2nd CO took more info and said its going back to DC for administrative processing.
What gets me is if they doubted our relationship... why didn't ANYONE ask for any paperwork? I took 30 pounds with me! And they asked for nothing... not one phone bill, picture, or anything. The 2nd CO even said there were no problems with the papers we sent... that they were perfect.
I am guessing this is for name checks based on what others have told me. But who knows!

So YES count me in for reform! And I will be writing my senators and congressmen when I get home. One of them helped us already, so they are familiar with our case!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Family emergency here in US

Sorry to hear of your bad news.
As the AP process is in DC, I am not sure the embassy can do anything. You could try your Senator/ congressman for help. It's election season, so they may be busy though.

I have already had my senator and congressman working on our case, so I emailed the senator's office last night and got a reply this morning. They are going to inquire for us. I think it will be better if they do and not me. I pray it helps. This is a tough situation.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Family emergency here in US
If I am posting in the wrong forum, please move... thank you.

Tonight I received some very bad news that my grandmother has a cancerous tumor and there is little hope.
She has been very supportive of my husband and me and I really want him to be able to meet her in person (not to mention what a difficult time this is for me.)
I have a medical condition myself (lupus) that is made worse by stress, and having my husband here with me would really be a blessing right now.

Is there ANYONE I can contact to try to get our case out of AP for this situation?
We interviewed on Aug 24 and were told the case was going to Washington DC for mandatory AP. The CO said our papers were perfect and we didn't have to show them anything extra we took with us (over 30 pounds of evidence I flew to Jordan with and didn't need).
We think it is just a background check, although the embassy and DOS won't tell me for sure.
I just really need him here with me now and need to know what might be done.
Thanks and please pray for our family.

Waiting is all we can do. And I just read an earlier post where you said the Amman embassy isn't very busy. I can tell you when we were trying to get an interview date, they were VERY backed up! And a friend of mine had their case complete with NVC on May 18 but didn't interview til Oct 27.
With that place, I think it's ALL about patience.

Hey there !! Congrats, I'll pray that soon he'll has his visa !! Would be a great Christmas gift na !
You spoke of him entering his passport number in a link,I was not aware of a link that you can check on your AP. Would you please pass that link to me.
Best of luck to the both of you :thumbs:

If I understand this right, that link is different for each embassy and I am not sure all embassies use it.
If they have it, it will be on the immigrant visa page for your embassy. On Jordan's it says "check the status of your administrative processing". When we click this, it lets us enter his passport number for info.
The embassy gave us this link at his interview.
Hope there is one for you to use. It helps a little to be able to check it!

i think it took less than a hundred day to get done with the AP right??????????
did you let ur family or frinds to email the emmbasy as what you said before???? if so i will do it

I had emailed them with my new phone number and when they replied today to say they got it, it also said send the passport. And at the same time I was reading this, he was entering his passport number in the link and it said the same!

This was day 97. Another guy Mo knows also got his message at the link today. So at least we know they are working on things.

We decided not to send the emails. Just waited it out. But I did send a kinda begging please help us email last week (the 22nd I think) and in the link we use, it says our case was updated on the 23rd. I think it takes about a week to show a change online. I don't know if my begging helped... who knows... LOL!

Well I thought I would check in and say it has been more than 12 weeks now for us (day 87).
I am so tired of waiting. And tired of not getting a straight answer anywhere!
In an email from the embassy, they say the DOS controls AP. Then when I talk to DOS, they tell me embassy controls AP!
Does ANYONE know ANYTHING about where his visa is? This is ridiculous! :bonk:

I am in AP since 23th of May 2010.American embassy in Abu dhabi say more than 99 percent of Ap will be completed within 6 months.Mine is 5/5 months now so I have a little hope that it will be over within next 2 weeks.

The embassy replied to my senator's email, saying we should finish in less than 5 months. He sent the email to me, so I know that's what it said.
when we were put on AP, we were told most were 4-6 weeks. But some take 5 months and others take years.
I am praying 5 months is about it. I don't think I can go much longer without a visit!

Hello, My time-line is not similar, my husband has been in AP since Jan. I also call DOS and they wont tell me anything besides , he's still in AP. Only thing that I can think of that is taking so long, is his name being Muhammad.
Anyhow ... I will pray that we all will have our love ones with us soon !

Ithink the name has something to do with it too. It is Mohsin's middle name also.

Hmm.... I was not aware of a web site to check your AP. If that is so, whats the site? Also ... When calling DOS press 1 then 0, that way you wont have to go though the whole recording !

Good luck :)

The guy gave us a paper with the link. I think if you go to the embassy web page for your country and then go to immigrant visa section, there should then be a section on AP.
For Jordan the link is
jordan.usembassy.gov/iv_administrative_processing.html

You may be able to just change the country name and it will work for you. (I am not the greatest on the computer... LOL!)

We have the website info to check our AP, but it says not in the system. I read this should be available almost immediately and now it has been 2 days.
I emailed the embassy about it, but they will be closed Friday and Saturday and now I am feeling very nervous about it. I know we are only a couple days in, I just want to be sure we are in the system correctly.

Red flags are things that make them suspisous that the relationship isn't real. One for us is that I am older than he is.

I found this, which tells about AP. http://www.usaimmigr...tiveReview.html

I printed the FOIA form. If I read it right, my husband is the one who has to sign it and get it notarized. Great, even more time lost getting it back from Jordan after he prints it! But I think I will use it. I just want to know WHY we are in this ridiculous AP! His record is clear and so is mine... not even a speeding ticket!

I heard that tehre is paperwork that can be completed

Do you mean to get a name off the AP list? That would be great! If you find anything, let me know.

That link was interesting. It sounds to me like they look for hits on the LAST name but maybe it's more than that. I pray it's only last names!

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)mandatory administrative processing?

I would say Happy Thanksgiving, but if you feel the same as me, it's not very happy being away from your hubby ! Anyhow ... Did you see what I had posted on what you said about being unfair based on name ? If not, I will say again. It's because Muhammad, Mohammed is such a popular name. When doing the security check, every time they get a hit on the name they have to investigate further to make sure it's not the same person. At least this is what has been told me, which makes sense.
I pray soon that you will get good news, please pray for us, it's been almost a year in AP ! :(

I just hate the whole process with AP. It's not so much that we are in it, but that you can't get a straight answer. Seems no one can even tell me for sure WHERE the case is. With the embassy saying DOS has it and DOS saying the embassy has it.... :bonk: it just makes me want to scream!
I called DOS yesterday to see what I need to do about changing my phone number on record, and the rude operator says "we can't touch your case.... the embassy has it." I guess when I email the embassy they will again tell me that DOS has it! OMG! I know they are closed til Sunday at the embassy, but it will be interesting to see what they say!
And I know we can't wait a year for this to end. Even now we have started making plans and have a deadline in mind for when we will give up and I will move to Jordan.
It just makes me sick that when they tell you that you are in AP, they say it should end in 4-6 weeks. Then in my last email they told me 3 months (which is where we are now) and when my senator inquired, they said less than 5 months.
God help us all!

I am visiting the US for Thanksgiving and I am here on the Visa Waiver Program. I had no problems at all. I have visited the US with my wife twicw while under AP. I have done exactly the same as you, I have emailed the embassey in London, called DoS in DC and chased up my inlaws Congressman. Still nothing! I hate it when they say "i'm sorry you are still in AP!" blah. Ally, where are you based?

I have been talking to various lawyers in the US and also my lawyer in London and I am seriously contimplating filing a Mandamus Suit. Has anyone does this before??

Any advice would be great.

I am in West Virginia. I get so upset with all this. My grandfather was a politician... a state senator and I wish he was still at himself to advise me here.

Let me know if you decide to file that suit. To me it seems like discrimination based on a name. What BS!
Feel free to email me if you want at alicealhosainy@yahoo.com

I Was just about to post… Got a call from VFS… We got the Visa…

After 110 days of AP… :)

Timeline was similar to Deep2009, who also got his visa after 111 days of AP.

You have something to look forward to…

Congratulations!
I wonder if that 100 some days is just the average for India or all countries......

OMG my husband's middle name is also Mohammed. Tuesday makes 13 weeks since our interview... 91 days tomorrow.
If all this is based on PART of a person's name... it is soooo unfair!

I have emailed the embassy, called DOS, and had my congressman and senator inquire. Still nothing. The embassy told the senator's office 5 months or less. But they also told us 3 months average in an email earlier this month.
Of course, DOS tells me the embassy controls AP, and the embassy says the exact opposite... it's all up to DOS.
This is the most frustrating thing I have ever been through!

HI everyone,

New to this forum, desperate times call for desperate measures!!

I am a UK citizen, born and brought up in the UK and married to a US citizen.

I think I trump everyone here by saying that I have been in AP for 7 months!! Yes thats right, 7 months!

My lawyer says that it is due to me having "Mohammad" in my name (i dont even use my middle name).

The funny thing is that I am actully in the US visiting for Thanksgiving and heading back home soon after!

I have contacted the Congressman, call the DoS on a daily basis and was wondering if anyone else has done anything else different?

Any help is appreciated
Thanks!

Were you able to get a visitor visa while on AP? I wondered about trying that for my husband to come see me for Christmas.
