Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	WAITNG OUT AP IN ANOTHER COUNTRY	well just wanted to let yall know we are still in ap in sweden.a few days and it will be 2 months...i hate the waiting ...They didnt deny his visa at our interview,they just said we had ap for additional background checks.can they still deny you if your background checks come back clean.or our we approved as long as they come back clean. this whole process seems to be a big nightmare so im still so scared something will go wrong.we already both had 2 hr interrigations that they said was a normal interview.I dont think it can get much worse but you never know.now our attorney says we will probably have to interview again once they tranfer his case to iraq.i wonder if we will have to go thru ap again there.they want transfer his case from sweden til our ap is finished there.I guess im just scared.i miss him so much and now hes back in iraq im afraid everyday for him.I pray this ap gets finished soo.plz keep us in your prayers.	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-02-06 12:29:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	WAITNG OUT AP IN ANOTHER COUNTRY	Bridget- I am SOOOOO sorry to hear this. Oh my gosh. I can't even imagine what hell you are going through. Is the Baghdad embassy up and running? Is his stuff still going through Sweden and he is just waiting out AP in Iraq? My thoughts and prayers are with you- that this will all have a happy ending soon. Baj they said his ap must be finished in sweden before they will transfer his case to iraq.Then we may ormaynot have to reinterview in baghdad.they are up and running in baghdad it seems. I just am so afraid for him.He at least hassomeone to stay with there but he is scared.thanks for the prayers they are the only thing that will help at this point.This has given me an stomach ulser i spent 3 nights at the hospital so far	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-02-02 22:15:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	AP under Internal Review?	Hello, Our case is still under AP review but when I contacted the USCIS office they informed us, "case is being reviewed internally with the Consular Section, XXXX for visa issuance." Does anyone know what "internally" means? How long can it take now before the issuance of visa? We have been in AP since 28th March 2010. Thanks. We are under the same review.We were told the our visa was granted but we had normal administrative process.They review all the information you gave them and decide if they will give you a visa is what i understand.We have been in ap since Dec. 14th 2009.Four months today.I dont know how long it can last they want give you a time frame.Good luck	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-04-14 10:48:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	AP start from 1st or 2nd interview??	Hi guys, My fiance had AP after we submitted the documents and once they verified the documents were genuine they called him for a 2nd interview. Then they told him to submit passport with confirmation of our wedding plans. Once he submitted that he got his passport back two weeks with a letter stating that under section 221g our file is incomplete and is ungergoing administrative processing. I know for sure our AP was completed prior to this 2nd interview. But, just a few weeks back I got an email back from the consulate stating that we are undergoing administrative review, and the internal processing has not cleared yet. So, our case is still at the consulate. I just wonder what this internal procesing is now. I mean name checks are done in Washington. It makes me think if our case is just sitting on someones desk and being approved does not mean much. Star We are in the same situation.Ap at the embassey.They told us we were approved but we had mandatory ap.This coming from the same people whom called my fiancee in for a second interview a week later, then had him picked up when he arrived at the embassey.I dont know how they got the sweden government to revolk his id card. But they did.So he returned to Iraq.Now it has been 4 months since that day and still no word.They want even transfer his case to Iraq til we are out of ap in sweden.I think they just want to give us hell because Alen is Iraqi.I can understand these people are allow to screw with your life like this.It makes me sad and feel ashamed that this place that is suppose to be a free country can treat its own citizens this way.I dont know what the answer is to fix this problem but it does need to be fixed.I hope you hear something soon about your ap.Good luck and i will continue to keep you all in my prayers.	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-04-11 17:43:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Embassy Emails	That's where congressional inquiries come in - the embassy has to respond to them. Have you contacted your congressman/woman recently? Whatznext - I feel for you. What's your next step? Well i called my senators liason 2 weeks ago. He is supose to be checking with them again on what is going on with our case.	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-06-20 12:15:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Embassy Emails	I think these people love to make us wait. I sent the sweden embassey an inquiry about our case.The first since Dec. 14th when we were interviewed and put on ap. They never responded and it has been 1 week.	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-06-19 00:01:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	How long was YOUR AP ?	almost 6 months and counting.....	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-05-21 07:15:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	PLS I NEED ANSWERS !!!!!!!!	I am sorry you are in Ap. Ar is when they are reviewing the information you gave then at the interview and checking all the documents you submitted to them at that time. Ap is when you info is faxed or mailed to washington for background checks.Not you whole file that the embassey has but they send info to diffent agencys in washington whom do background checks. I hope your ar or ap isnt long. Good luck to you. IMO, you could have gotten your citizenship 3 years later after arriving in USA, then filed for your father (immediate priority date, no waiting) But - you didn't do that. Perhaps you filed petition (with you as the Petitioner) when you were a Permanent Resident? Instead of USC ? AP is AP -is not any published timeline - they need to complete namechecks on your father. Is strange, really, as USC cannot petition for father in law. USC can petition for father, sure, but? Ya, I get it - your husband was some co-sponser on the I-864, but that doesn't matter for why your father is in AP. more info on namechecks- here - http://www.usaimmigr...tiveReview.html .You shoulda read her post twice....	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-07-10 11:39:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Doesn't Anyone Have Good News About Their AP	Mmmmmmmm I am not sure if this is good news or not, time will tell I called DOS today and was told that our case is still under AP but the good news is that the Embassy started working on the case case the day they got it back from NVC. Okay thats the news I got but I did come research and found out that if a year passes after the security checks they have to do an update which can take 4-6 weeks so that means we are at week 3 also i was explaining to the lady at DOS that I have to buy my ticket for Ukraine on thursday she said good call us before you buy it. Gosh I dont know what to do? Should I go or wait and see what happens I can go in September if I dont go now and if he doesnt make it here. She also asked me if I could delay my vacation for a few weeks mmmmmm I wonder if she can see something she isnt telling me. By the way it was Sara she is so nice. Help what should I do. Wow ,maybe she sees something she couldnt tell you.Hope it is great news for yall soon...	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-06-04 17:38:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Doesn't Anyone Have Good News About Their AP	I actually got some news..not great news but not bad news either... They returned all of our evidence and stated that they didnt need any additional evidence from us.Until now we have been "case is pending review by a co the letter says that our case is now undergoing Additional Processing. IMO the good thing is that they know they cant deny us a visa at this point else they would have already with some ficticious reason, they will likely be calling our friends and relatives and neighbors in the coming month to try one last attempt to screw us over.... after that they will issue the visa... likely in the next month or two... So from the letter we know we are only at a consular level AP and that the case has been 'touched' in the past week... and we know(from the experiences of others) to expect some phone calls... well our has been at additional processing at the embassey level in sweden for 6 months now.they told us we were approved but under ap.Form our liason at the congressmans office e no they havent done our security checks yet .I dunno wth they are doing.lol ...torturing us i think.	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-06-03 14:56:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Wow.....I think I just Got Approved!!!	Congratulations....	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-06-23 22:38:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Is it Monday yet	Good Luck on the business Put your focus on the business and I am sure you will succeed. I know its hard but I am trying to think the system will work it might take a little time Im not really sure when my husbands Ukraine visa will expire or if he will be able to renew it but I asked DOS and I am not sure it the lady knew what she was talking about but she said when my husband got to Iraq he should go to the Embassy and have his case transferred from Ukraine to Iraq did your honey try this. She told me I couldnt do it the Iraqi Embassy would have to request it from Ukraine. But I am hoping it dosent come to this. Alens had a temp residented card he was denied asylum in sweden. And since he was trying to Immigrate to the Us. They officer in sweden that was in chage of his case told us he would give Alen time to immigrate and not ship him home so he did have a valid id temp resident card at the time of his interview. The embassey check with his officer who says yes he is legal then they tell the officer it may be 6 to 9 months before he gets a visa. So they ask him to return to the embassey after interview . He goes and they call the swedish immigration police when he gets there. And even though his id is valid they take him to deportation center and hold him there. They give him the option to return or they will deport him. So he stays there in deportation jail thru Christmas then decides to return on his own. They release him and he goes home to pack and say his goodbyes then goes to deportation center 2 weeks later they fly him home. So if you guy cant get another visa he is taking a chance. Some embasseys let the person go ahead and immigrate but from all the trouble ya have had i might think about transfering it if they dont call him for an interview soon. Ours happen after the interview so they want transfer our case til our ap is finished in sweden. Then they might transfer it or just sit on it awhile. They were very nasty to us so i can see this happening. I am seriously thinking if we dont hear something soon filing a writ myself. You dont have to have a lawyer to file it. You can do it yourself.im going to wait it out til arround the end of aug. then decide one way or the other. You do have to contact the Iraq embassey first in order to transfer it they have to send for it. I emailed them and they were very nice. And responded ithin a few minutes of my email to my questions. There was a case in dec. i think where they approve a fiance visa in like 3 days for a male. That was the only one i have seen that was done at the baghdad embassey. Most Iraqis have fled so they file from other countrys. The dos info says they give you an interview date within one day of getting your file in there system and issue visas within one day but that time doesnt include ap. So if you are thinking about transfering your case. Email them first ask questions. Good luck i feel for you and i am still praying for you.	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-07-10 12:05:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Is it Monday yet	I wanna know why we cant as a group file a writ and sue all of the DOS. I wish there was a way to change this process.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	Is it Monday yet	Well here we go again another weekend with no good news. The bad news I have is that the Embassy is closed monday, another holiday. i guess the worst thing for me is that I cannot decide if I want to make plans to go visit my husband or wait and see if I hear from the Embassy my vacation starts June 9 so time is running out. I keep saying I will book my flight next week. It seems like evrything is up in the air depending on the embassy. I cant go and them turn around and go again for the interview. Oh well is it tuesday yet???? You mean he has to re-interview. Thx sucks...I hear you about the weekends. I dont know how you have stood it 2 yrs is a long time since you applyed. Cant you file a writ? Or you just trying to wait it out? This is so hard on people.I dont understand why they cant seem to make this process quicker. I think they do it on purpose hoping you will give up.It is hard one day im sad the next alen is sad.And i know it is hard on him because he is in a country with no family alone.i hear the guns and police sirens hen we talk on the phone.He bout scared to death.Im just ready for an answer one way or the other.So i will know if im going to have to fly to lebanon and get married.	bridget and alen	Female	Iraq	2010-05-21 20:27:00
