They kept the passport ??


Hi all. I want to share my story for those who is undergoing AP and hope this will help a little.

07/30 - I had my interview. CO didn't clearly say if I was approved or not. I had one missing doc and I was aware of that. This was a Police Clearance from one country I lived more than 6 months. They kept my passport and told me to send the doc to them and they will contact me. They gave me white 221 g form.

07/30 - CEAC status showed AP ( Your case needs further review. )

08/01 - Sent the Police clearance to the embassy.

08/02 - Got a text from the courier saying the doc was delivered.

08/02 - CEAC still on AP

..... I didn't call the embassy regarding the doc submitted cause my fiance told me that's not how the government works, the more you call them the more they do it late...

08/09 - Sent an email to the embassy and ask for acknowledgment upon receipt of the doc submitted. ( couldn't wait no more so I asked them )

08/11 - Got an email from the embassy saying they have received additional doc and referred my case to concerned team for processing. CEAC still on AP.

08/12 - CEAC changed to READY ( You can book your appointment. )

08/13 - CEAC showed READY ( your case is open and wait for two business days. )

08/15 - CEAC changed to AP ( Your case is undergoing necessary AP. This can take several weeks. )

08/16 - CEAC changed to ISSUED.

I hope this helps a little. There is an AP and there is an AP. They are two different cases depends on it's content. You are put on AP after the interview if your case needs further review , you may have one missing doc or they really need further review ( CEAC shows AP your case requires furhter review. ) and there is AP which showez your case is undergoing necessary AP ( If I am not mistaken this AP showed when they will issue you a visa soon )

If you have any questions on my case, feel free to ask I will help. God Bless to all of us.



























 

 

Thank you so much for sharing your story!

StrongAlways, I know exactly where youre coming from

My hubby's case has been in AP for 1 year and 5 months and still counting.... We were also told that the interview went well and the embassy staff is very familiar with our case there since I have been in very close contact with them through the entire process of DCF. Hubby was informed interview went great and that his case has been placed under AP which should clear up soon.

We're still waiting on the "clearing up" part. Hope you guys have better cards in store than we do so far.

My wife also had her interview at islamabad embassy on july 12th and they kept her passport and also gave her a light green 221g sheet.

 

they said they need more verification and put it in AP. They said it can be weeks or months.

 

You can call 202-663-1225 dos for your case status and also check online at ceac state gove website with your case number.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedureswithdraw petition

I met her in Sept 2012 and filed for her in Feb . She came and told me she was pregnant from an old boyfriend . Cheated on me which we worked out our problems . So I thought , so I went ahead with the petition . Then this last month things went downhill quickly . The closer we got to the interview stage she got cold feet . If she was going to scam me why not take my $480 for the interview fees ? Take the $500 for the medical ?

 

 

are you serious bro. she got pregnant and cheated on you. And you worked it out.!?!?

 

STOOOP it right now. 

 

You can never turn a H*e into a house wife.

 

Get out and withdraw.

 

You are too good for her if she could not wait for you.

 

HAve faith and everything happens for a reason.
