So they gave him a paper to pick it up on tuesday in person.

I got a response from the embassy and ustraveldocs. The one from the embassy say the the same thing like the other one, it didn't mention ap. On ustraveldocs it says ap, meaning it's under review. Well, sounds to me like he is no longer in ap. I guess I gotta be more patient.


Thats good hes not ap things are moving along they are reviewing we gotta be patient out time will come

Myxxxx did you call dos about yesterday's update? Winky keep your head up. Don't let down...look at me five years in this process and god finally pushed through our turn. So please have faith. It will all be worked out when you least expect it


Yes i did they told me its because of the solvencia they asked for and the call he received it got updated to fridays date when they called i dont know maybe sundays was electronic like you had said maybe it hadnt gone thru the system about the requested document.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Administrative Processing in El Salvador

Yeah, the last email didn't mentioned ap but on ustraveldocs said ap as in reviewing not just ap so I thought we getting the visa soon. I emailed both the embassy and ustraveldocs now. Let's see what's going on.

It still weird but at least your case is moving. As for me, I'm getting to the point where I'm losing hope. I am desperate. :'(


Hopefully they keep moving our case after they receive the solvencia on Wednesday we have to.wait and see. Don't lose hope i know its easier said than done but thats all we have we can't give up we are almost there. Your case has been getting updates too so they are working on it. Have you emailed them back?

I called Dos and they say the update is because of the solvencia they requested friday we had an update to fridays date thats why it was weird to me another update date yesterday. My husband is getting his solvencia today.
Mxy22FemaleEl Salvador2013-10-07 10:26:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Administrative Processing in El Salvador

Yeah it sucks. His medical came out great so I don't know why a retake. He took it on May 3, so that's 4 months ago. I'm going to call DOS again. Also, I emailed so I'm going to wait for an answer from the embassy.

Yes its barely gonna be 5 months in a couple of days yes you should call again and wait to see what embassy says before. They are responding quick by tomorrow you should get a reply back

Hi i emailed the embassy again this is what they responded don't know what to think of it

We acknowledge receipt of your letter.

Your letter has been forwarded to the Immigrant Visa Unit for review.

As soon as the case is reviewed by a consular officer, we will contact you.

Thank you for the information.

I will do the form I-601 but was I not supposed to get this on the day I had my interview? I wonder why it took them almost 3 months to ask for this...I am telling you what the CO gave me was just a gree sheet and he even said the sooner you sent this the sooner we resolve this.
Does any one have any idea how long this might take, I have a terrible feeling that this will take more than 6 months just to get approved if it gest approved and then they send this to the Embassy where this guys will just take their time and I will have to start all over again with getting recent documents and of course spend more money on medical test.....what a waste of time and money!!....Why didn't this CO ask for me to fill this form after he interviewed me...Why??


Email them back but if they say you need this form get a lawyer cuz its not just about submitting it you have to write a letter depending on what the problem is i think yours was on fraud or misrepresentation not sure about this but its better to find out so you don't waste your time and have it be denied the i-601 is for different things you need to know exactly why so you can better address the waiver. I don't know why CO didnt tell you at the interview i know they always tell you on that day cuz they should already know if you need a waiver. I think you should keep emailing until they respond back and get a lawyer to better assist you on preparing the waiver.

Hello all,
I called DOS spoke to a guy named Bryan ( very nice guy ) all he said is that my case is still on AP and the embassy will contact me ...not know when ...he said that the embassy recieved my documents on July and no other document is pending.
Now people remember I posted that I was asked to fill out a I-601 on that email they stated that I was being ineligible under 221 (a) (6) © (i) I sent a new email on the 11th of Sept saying that at the enterview all they gave me was a green sheet 221g and there they checked what I needed to sent all they asked for was a USA police certificate and proof of my return to El Salvador in the 90's...
 
I have not recieved any reply back from them..(El Salvador Embassy) it is been a week already and all it took for them to aswer the first e-mail was just like 4 hrs...Can anyone please enlighten me..?
Should I just keep on waiting or should I take a step ahead and sent them the I-601 ( fee of $585.00) ...thank you guys.





I think you should email them again to make sure you need to make sure before you fill out I-601 exactly what they found.

Hi there all. Ceac updated my hubby's case to today's date. That's a good sign for a change. We didn't contact them or anything. I tried signing in to ustraveldocs but it's
not allowing me. Is anyone else having the same issue. I'll call dos and ask them about the status update.

That is good news did you call dos what did they tell you

Hi al3jandro89

Did your wife send them the additional evidence already? You can try to email the embassy at congensansal@state.gov put your case# and ask whats going on in your case. My husband sent additional documents to them in june and they are still reviewing they say but evey case is different


Mxy22FemaleEl Salvador2013-09-19 21:51:00

Mxy22FemaleEl Salvador2013-09-19 14:58:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Administrative Processing in El Salvador

I do have a copy of my 221g and what the CO checked is policy certificate from USA and proof of me being here in El Salvador in the 90's, I sent them all 15 days after my interview. Today I called and all they said is that my case is on AP....I guess al I have to do is wait and pray to God.( I entered the USA back on 1984 when El Salvador was in war and stayed for 9 years it is been more than 10 yeras already)


You called embassy or DOS ?ok so they didnt check waiver try emailing the embassy back see what they say the 9 yrs you were here to my understanding during that time no one was accruing unlawful presence until 97 but samberb0408 said its for misrepresentation. Hopefully its just a mistake

Mxy22FemaleEl Salvador2013-09-18 19:26:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Administrative Processing in El Salvador

But I thouht that 221g was my waiver it is all that the CO asked for and he even said to sent documents and wait stating that most cases are resolved with in 2 months..And yes I have emailed them back on the 11th and no replay yet.


Like samber0408 said 221g is a form explaning if you need additional documents or if you need a waiver do you have a copy of the 221g check to see what it says if it doesnt say waiver then keep emailing them till you get a response back.

My husband got 221g but it only says what additional documents they wanted nothing about a waiver.

I email congresal a couple of days ago and got a very fast replay with the following info:(I hope you know Spanish)

 Por este medio acusamos recibo de su carta referente a su petición de visa de inmigrante.   Hemos revisado su caso y notamos que usted fué encontrado ineligible bajo las Seccion 212(a)(6)(C)(i) del Acta de Inmigración y Nacionalidad (INA) de los Estados Unidos.   Debido a ello usted necesita llenar una solicitud de perdón "Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility" (Form I-601) en la oficina de USCIS.
I sent another e-mail  stating that what the CO gave me was a 221g and all of what they asked for I already sent...this email I sent on the 11th of Sept and have not recieved any replay...
I am telling you some people do not know what they are  talking about!.

So they are telling you that you need a waiver had you emailed them before this what was their response? You should email them back again

Just want to check... so, If my fiancé's interview was on August 14th and the last update to Administrative Processing was on August 19th... does this mean that they have not gotten to our case yet? that most likely we are just in a pile waiting for them to start processing our case? OR- are they probably working on it, even though we haven't gotten any updates? ... I guess basically I'm just trying to figure out if they update the date every time they make an inquiry or continue the 'investigation'? thanks guys!


My case has gotten updates only when i have inquired but every time i email them they say that they are working on our case so i dont really know i guess you never know with the embassy.

I know they dont seem to know anything. Thats good your case got update did you make an inquiry or they update themselves that means they are working on it.
