Ok, one more question...
I just checked the CEAC... and we actually have 2 statuses... is that normal? The one that said READY (saying we were ready for an appointment) was updated on August 13th, and then a new status was places above it that says ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING (updated on August 19th). That is the status that automatically pops up. However, this morning, I clicked on the other one, just to see what it says... and that status of READY was updated on August 20th... ufff, this confuses me, because it still says ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING with the date of August 19th... I am thinking this is just a glitch, because I can't imagine we would be done with AP yet, but has anyone ever seen this? is it normal? thanks!!!


You should call the DOS i only have one status call they can explain that to you or maybe the other girls might know how to answer your question.

Is it most likely that we will be approved, or is there a possibility of denial? We have everything in order, have done everything asked of us, and he has had NO previous involvement in anything that I believe would cause a red flag... Trying to prepare myself for the good and the bad... (and thinking of solutions for either situation).
 
ALSO- when I checked on CEAC, our status was updated August 19th to Administrative Processing- not sure if that was the most recent update after his interview, or if it has been looked at since... I will keep checking every day :)


If the co didn't think your relationship was real he would have told him at the interview i think you will get approved they are most likely doing background checks.

I know, right? It's been almost a year since I left El Salvador. It sucked leaving my husband behind and sucked more that he wasn't here when our son was born. Our son is turning 5 months soon. Damn, we need him so much.


I know it sucks waiting being separated i got back 4 months ago i went to spend 5 months with my husband i spent our sons 2nd bday and christmas, new yrs with him. Praying that this will all come to an end for us all soon.

In the email I received today. I was told that the pending cases go to the consular section as they have an overload in the immigrant visa unit...so that's why we since we were required additional documentation have to wait more.. Bummer. Hopefully the consular section picks up the pace.


Whats the consular section?

Hey guyss I forgot to ask in my earlier post but do any of you track the passport on US travel docs? I have been tracking it since last week since that was the interview and since he was told he was approved however whenever I check the status it says no information has found for the passport number entered.  I wanted to know if any of yours says that the embassy has the passport?  And are all of you in the IR1 category? Thankss :) 


Yes i track passport too and it says no info found for passport # no it doesn't say if embassy has it im sure they have it we sent it with the additional docume they asked if they have the documents they have to have the passport. We are IR1 category

J&f and mxy. When you guys call the dos what exactly do you ask? Sorry for the question. I ask about status updates on my husband's visa and all I'm told is being reviewed but nothing else. I want to know a way to get more info out of them.


Hi im glad you got a response back i will probably get a response by the end of the week. When i call i ask for status update and they tell me its in AP i ask if its because of the documents i sent they say yes they are reviewing then i ask so its not the long AP they say no.

I don't have a Co sponsor its just me who signed. So it will be easier. I'll get on it tomorrow. Thanks for that myxxx


Your welcome i just want you to be prepared in case an not be running around later cuz it takes a couple daya for them to receive mail over there ... it will be much easier since you dont have a co sponsor.

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

No he doesn't...it's the one that has to be signed by the notary public stating that my hubby will not be a charge to the welfare system right? I'll get on it just in case


Yes that one its the I-864 you fill one out and if you have a co sponser he fills one out and sign it an mail it to him just in case its better to be prepared. I dont know if a notary signs it i know its who ever is sponsering him. I signed one and since my income was not enough i have a co sponser he signed one too.

I really hope they do process our visas soon...i believe they put the visas after waiver approval on second table. The immigrant visas for those that have never been in the states most of the time get processed within 2-3 weeks. Sucks. My hubby has access to my paycheck stubs, w2 and taxes since my work has all my stuff online and my taxes were e filed. So him getting them and printing them out shouldn't be to hard. Let's hope they really don't ask for anything.


I hope so too its taking too long if they need more documents just let us know already. Thats good he has access to that but my husband was asked for a new affidavit of support filled out with 2012 income and had to have my original signature good thing i sent it to him he got it a week before his interview. Its the i864 does he have a new one filled just in case.

No nothing yet. I submitted it on tuesday of last week. The 13. :( I wonder why it's taking a longer time this time around. They must be really backed up.
I did call the dos and asked about the visa status. I was told the same thing I was told it's under review. The guy even told me when they received all docs. I asked if I should send the 2012 1040 docs for the taxes but the guy said no. That I shouldn't send anything unless they ask for it.


Ok yeah i still havent gotten a response they are taking longer. Ok you just have to wait and see if they request it does your husband have all the tax info ready remember they want an updated AOS with original signature. Hope they respond to our email lets keep eachother other updated on our cases :). Im glad we can relate to eachother other dont feel so alone in this lets keep praying girls :)

Hopefully they don't ask for anything else and issue his visa. Do you know where was he able to obtain the document they asked for its good to know just in case.

Good morning group...i can't sleep. I've been up since 4 Pacific time. It's 5:38 already. All this has my sleeping system all screwed up. Any who one quick question? Were your husbands told that they were gonna be put in AP or did it just show up? I've read on some pages that there is a really bad ap and a "processing" ap. I'm all paranoid.


No he wasn't told his ap is processing they are reviewing the documents they asked for.

We are all going crazyyy now! I just hope we all hear back soon because we all have been waiting forever!! I keep praying that all of us will be out of this and finally be able to be with our husbands. Mxy22 when you wrote about your 2.5 year old son it makes me feel soo sad because families have to be separated! We have a son who just turned 4 on August 12th also and its soo hard!! I know how frustrating this is and it makes us just go crazy but we have to keep praying and hopefully we will all have everything work out for all of us :) 
 


I guess we are all going crazy with all this process its not easy on families being separated and its hard on the children. Even though its been tough this process has strengthen our relationship more. This will all work out for all of us lots of prayer and faith in God has kept me going on i keep you all in prayers soon we will all be reunited with our husbands and it will all be worth it.

Maybe that will help somewhat. Have you checked ceac to see if they've updated that the paper was received?

 I didn't hear anything today. Still shows last update on my hubby's case July 18, 2013... I'm getting so frustrated. My husband is telling me he doesn't know what "patience" is anymore. I'm going crazy.




You will most likely hear from them on monday it takes them 3 about working days. My last update was july 15 only because they responded to my email. I know its hard to be patient i have to constantly give my husband hope because and keep his hopes up its hard for them being away from their family we have a 2 1/2 yr old and my husband left when he was 1 we gave gone 2 times to see him.but he has missed alot of our sons milestones and he asks about his dad everyday it breaks my heart but we can't give up with God all things are possible if you just believe :)

Another interview did they call him to set it up. It might be good that way he can give them the document personally. Let us know how it goes

Update on the case: interview on August 12th visa approved, CEAC says AP! My husband received a call today from the embassy and they told him that the case is approved and there is necessary processing which can take 2-3 weeks maybe sooner to process everything.my husband asked her if it can be denied and she said NO! it has been approved and will be approved but the passport will be ready within 2-3 weeks or sooner!! this is a hugeeeee relief! I couldn't even sleep and I was sooo stressed out that this journey would never end!! I just have to keep praying and have faith in God and be positive!! I am praying for all of us to have our visas issued for our husbands :) 


That is great news you just have to wait im happy for you soon our husbands will be home :).

I hope we all get the visas issued soon too and I'm praying as well for all of us to be out of this big mess with our AP. I contacted US travel docs and they told me that AP is usually resolved within 60 days however it can take longer so if you don't hear back after 8 months contact us again! I was soo surprised when she said this to me and my heart just sank! I am in soo much stress and soo sad I just want everything to work out for everyone.  By the way, which email do you email to?  I emailed the congensansal email and still no response and wanted to know how often they respond to you.  What worries me the most is the fact that the update date doesn't ever change and its like they are just letting the case sit for whatever time they want and then they will look at it. I think its just something for us to "wait" which I don't understand why. We just have to keep praying for the best and hopefully everything works out. Please let me know what the embassy responds to you and I will do the same. 
 


So you called the DOS I've called them and they tell me it should take 30-90a days to review the documents thats working days not counting weekends they also told me to call once a week that the consular officer is reviewing the documents thats what embassy told me too in an email. I emailed congensansal it takes them about 3 days to respond back. I know they just have us waiting we just have keep calling so that they know we want answers. We gotta keep strong and have faith which at times its hard but God doesn't give us more than we can handle he will see is through this and soon our families will be reunited. Keep strong because we need our husbands not to give up too specially since they are the ones back in.their country. When did you email the embassy?

Oh great. After 2 months in AP, my husband recieved a call from the embassy and they told him they need 'proceso judicial simple' from the year 2003 to '06. Well, he's going to find out and get what the embassy need because seriously, I don't get this. It made so sad and I'm scared the process might take longer after he send what the freaking embassy wants. :'(


Whats a proceso judicial simple. Oh wow this embassy they could have told him at the interview. They dont know all we have to go through it's so hard. I still havent heard back about my husband. Dont lose faith

All we can do is wait and be positive that it will happen people will always say negative things to bring us down but it not up to them its up to God if we have faith in him nothing can stop us he will do it for us.

He had his interview in November which they had the tax paperwork from 2011...they didn't ask for anything else but the passport, renew medical, and police report. I'm just hoping that they don't havedelay this even more with not having my 2012 taxes. I should just have him take them to the cargo express agency and turn them in.


You should does he have a new i864 cuz your gonna need a new affidavit and the taxes my husband had interview in may and they asked for 2012 taxes with an updated AOS
