Africa: Sub-SaharanQuestion about AP
I have another question about the AP. I have emailed the Embassy 3 times and they sent me an email back saying this Dear Madam:
The case is pending the officer’s final review.
We are working as fast as we can to process the case to conclusion.
Regards,
Consular staff

Is this normal and is my fiance getting ready to be issued his visa??? He had his interview last Sunday and they told him 1-3 weeks and then they will send a letter to him and he then will send his passport back to them. We are just getting excited for the end to be near.

Thanks so much for everybody help, it just nice to know that we are not alone in this.

Middle East and North AfricaK-1 visa after the interview
Well my fiance had his interview today. They didn't keep his passport and gave him a letter saying that its Administrative Processing. In 1-3 week they will send him a paper and then he sends back his passport. We don't understand whats going on? Is he approved or denied? We been reading lots of peoples stories and they wait so long, and i don't know if they even get there visas. Can anybody help us to understand all this and comfort us in our grieving time of need?

Middle East and North AfricaAdministraive process
Hello i just wanted to see if anybody could help me understand what really going on. I been emailing the Embassy and they say our case is undergoing necessary administrative processing and that there's no problems & nothing wrong. LOL So i called the DOS and they said i was waiting security clearance and today i called them to see again and said the same thing and i asked them if our case was still in Cairo and she said NO it in the USA. crying.gif What does this mean??? I don't think this is a good thing! I have people tell me it just for the name check but we don't know what really going on! We are so scared and very confused! I hope maybe somebody can let us know good or bad! Thanks so much!

Middle East and North AfricaSenting back passport to the embassy
Hello i have an question for anyone that could help. My fiance had his interview on March 15, 2009 and they told him that it would be 1-3 weeks and they would call him to send back his passport. During the mean time we been emailing the embassy and calling the DOS (Department of State) for updates. Last week the DOS told us that our case was sent back to them for security clearance and won't tell us anymore. Well today my fiance got a phone call from the embassy requesting his passport. What does this mean?? Are they getting ready to issue his visa and what about the DOS said??? We don't know what to believe! We are happy that they called but still very confused! Can anybody tells what to do or to think right now! Thanks so much all your help!

I know back in 2007 when I was in Egypt with Adam his background checks were finished and he received a letter from the Embassy that told him to get the movement certificate. Well our situation is VERY different, but the police would not give Adam the paper and we were harassed for 4 months. Ask Jeanne and her husband Wael what to do about the paper, I think its only supposed to take 2-3 weeks to obtain from the local police office.



Thanks! Yes he got it done and the embassy now has it in there hands but i don't know whats going on from there now! It jsut so confusing to me! lol!



well after the movement certificate is sent to the embassy, then usually SOON he will get the visa



Yes that's the last step usually so God willing he will have his visa in hand soon.



OMG Tamara I sooo remember that nightmare that you went through with that movement certificate. And the thing is no one really knows why they even ask some and not others for it. My husband was never asked for it.




Thanks for responding! GOD i hope so! We are waiting and hope this will be soon! I just don't understand why they ask for this hes never been out of the country before! But i hope soon that will change! lol!

Thanks again for your help!

Middle East and North AfricaRequesting a movement certificate
Hello I don't know what to really think, my fiance had his interview on March 15, 2009 and April 13, 2009 the embassy called him and requested his passport to be sent back to them. So he sent it and we were waiting on it and then the embassy called him twice couple weeks later requesting a movement certificate and after two weeks waiting for this paper he sent it on May12, 2009. I have emailed the embassy every other day and still the same thing: The case is pending administrative processing. We will contact you once that is completed or they say an officer's review. What does this mean???? I keep asking them if there's a problem and they keep saying NO! I don't understand this at all! We would like to know whats going on and try to make since of all this!

Has anybody else had this problem before & know how long this will take before he gets issued his visa?? I know that they have requested this paper from another couple and they are waiting for it to be returned to them so they can send it back to the embassy too.

Thank you so much!
