my husband and children's first interview was may 19 2013 they were put on Administrative processing. We were told after the interview that we would get a call to submit their passports within 90 days. It's been 14 months since their interview and finally we get the call. Alhamdillah, insha'allah this time they will give them their visas.



Omg thats crazy well inshallah they get their visas this time its a well deserved wait! Inshallah in this holy month we all get good news!

Hi guys finally got a call from the embassy. August 4 is my families appointment. They asked for original documents new medical and new police certificate and two photos and a new DS-260. The problem is I try to fill out a new DS-260 online but I can't the old one keeps showing up as completed. Does anyone know how to fill out a new DS-260. Please keep my family in your prayers and insha'allah everyone waiting for an appointment will get one soon.



Hi congrats!! When did they call and to where? Cell or home?

So does that only mean people who need an interview appointment or everybody in general will not get an appointment until June? I am wondering because i was under AP but my case was reviewed on April 24 and they replied back saying when an appointment is available they will let me know.

I filled out my AOS in December and I sent in my taxes for years 2010,2011,and 2012. So when my wife gets her interview i will have to fill out a hole new AOS including my 2013 taxes? Thanks for the help.


Yes you would have to fill out a new AOS because they update the application every year with a new version and the taxes they will ask for the most recent year if her interview is after ppl have filed taxes so around april i guess ur welcome btw

FaithalbaNot TellingYemen2014-03-26 06:10:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterviews in San'a, Yemen

If you dont mind me asking how old was your AOS when you went in for the interview? Im trying to figure how long those things are actually good for?


It wasnt that the AOS was old it was that the sponsor had sponsored too many ppl already we had to get a whole new sponsor but about ur question all u have to renew is the application such as the I-864 if thats the one u filled out and u have to give the most recent taxes for the year and thats every year get it?

My case statud keeps being updated but no change to the Admiistrative Prcoessing, we sent in a new AOS, does anyone think this might mean a call soon they have opened our case three times this month well i mean updated it but no change to wat the status says?

The consular officer said everything was good and we weren't asked for anything else and he copied all our documents so we wouldn't have to bring them when we get a call from the embassy to drop off the passports. He said it would take around 3 months but who knows he said. The embassy does what ever they please. It's been 10 months and no call yet.


So u werent asked for a new AOS? They jus told u to wait three months for the call?

My brother got shot in aden so they expedited all of our cases. Alhamdillah he is fine and his family is with him in the states. They left here Wednesday.


Hi Antiseir, I was just wondering what was the reason that your husband was put under administrative processing after his visa interview? Cuz my husband has been under AP for 4 months now but its becuz they said we needed a new AOS we sent in a new one exactly a month after my husbands appointment still no reply to this day, they jus say a consular officer hasn't reviewed our case ??

Is anyone else getting an application error on the ceac.state.gov website when you try to check the status of your case?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterviews in San'a, Yemen
Does anyone know ow long you have to wait before getting a reply from the Sanaa Embassy after sending in additional documents such as a new AOS? I heard 60 days but Im not sure, for me itll be 60 days in 6 days lol so inshallah i hear something back soon!

P.S. I'm waiting on a call to drop off my husband's passport.

FaithalbaNot TellingYemen2014-02-08 16:29:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsInterviews in San'a, Yemen

While your waiting for an appointment, email them your phone number on the side and then when u get your drop off appointment give the interviewer your phone number.

Make sure you email them atleast 3 times at once that way they see your message. when u email them to put your case number and your new phone number on the subject line of the email.

You can reach them at:

IVSanaa@state.gov

Keep us updated!!
Good luck!
