God News Good News !!!!!!

My hubby received a text message from consulate that his visa is processed and will be couriered to him today.

Later an email from VFS also confirmed that his passport is handed to Blue Dart courier services for delivery....

3 weeks in AP !!!!

Thanks Lord Jesus and Mother Mary....

All out there in AP.... my sincere prayers and wishes to you all.... I know how it feels to be in AP.... but Prayer is power and its been proved in my life again and again...

Probably. Did they ask for your resume or academic details? did they retain your passport.

My husband's passport was retained and they asked for his resume, research papers etc...

Well, his AP is finally over today. 3 weeks in AP..

Hang in there... everything will get sorted.

Thanks and a big congrats to you. They never asked for my resume but they did retain our ppts (mine and the children's).

Hubby called DOS twice on wednesday, and once today and was told visas had been issued but not a word from the embassy. we wrote them on wed but still no reply. So we are just being cautious. cant survive another disappointment. I guess we just have to wait and see.

Just check with the embassy , if DOS tells you that the visa was issued I think the embassy should have dispatched your passports ny now.

has anyone heard any good news?? I am growing very frustrated. Its been just over 2 months, not to mention we spent a mth in AP at NVC before our case was sent to the embassy. I know 2 months is not as long as some people wait, but I'm losing my patience, this is driving me crazy. They kept my fiance's passport and told him 4 weeks, yet still nothing. What causes someone to be in AP for a very very long time?

I emailed the embassy today and they replied that they approved our co-sponsor. That is good news for me and my husband.

It took the embassy 3 months to review our new affidavit of support and instead of issuing the visa they put us in AP. It's very easy to lose patience when you are put into AP. You've already waited many months just to get to the interview. Now you must wait weeks, months, or longer in AP.

I think the length of time you spend in AP depends on the CO and what kinds of background checks they want done. That's why some people only spend a few weeks in AP and others spend months but I could be wrong.
