AP TRACKER

[Bajih 4]

Whatznext- I am so very sorry. How horrible. I am completely speechless. That they let you sit and wait that long without any word is just inhumane. I am sorry about what is happening to you. I can't even begin to imagine that agony you have been going through. What a very helpless feeling. This is just plain crazy and perhaps we should start lobbying for some changes in the system. I can't believe he went that long without his passport. I brought this up because my SO is worried about being in that country without his passport. He does not want to be kicked out of the country and is trying so hard to do everything on the up and up...

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Thanks for all your kind words at this point I don't think about it much because everytime I thought it was near the end then I have been slapped in the face with something else now Im just riding the wave. I am writing one more letter today to a different Senator I am also sending a copy of every document. The other senator office has been a joke LOL they send me news that is over a year old. In your case I think when they ask for the passport the visa will be issued shortly Good Luck

It sure has been a long road for you guys- the waiting without word is just unbelievable and painful- I hope good news comes your way....

I hit 7 months of AP today and it is so discouraging to not know anything about the progress in my case.....

Joe I hope you get a great news soon have you talked to DOS lately???

Thanks- yes, I call DOS every couple of days to see if anything new. All they say is still showing that AP is in still in progress at the embassy (Bogota Colombia). They just see in the notes the couple of times my Congressman's office sent emails, and the one time my Senator's office also sent. Otherwise, nothing updated beyond that. I send emails to the embassy directly about once every 1-2 weeks, and they just respond with "AP still in process". I wish someone could at least look at my case to assure me it is still being worked on... my fear is that it is either just burried somewhere on someone's desk, or whatever.... Or, that they will end up sending it back to the U.S. at some point, after months and months of waiting and waiting, like what unfortunately happened in your case... I just wish there was more I could do....

Joe-I am in complete agreement with you. I have never felt so helpless. Someone else has my "life" in their hands. I wish there was a way to make sure things were actually being done and active; and not just being lost in a pile somewhere. That is my fear as well.

Every time I call the DOS or email the Embassy, I get the standard answer. One lady at the DOS told me that it takes a while.. and this was after 6 months. Frustrating when other people have a week of AP.

Keep hanging in there. Whatznext, my prayers are with you. Wish there was more you could do. Sounds like the places/resources you have tried have all been disappointing. You have had NO news as to what is going on? I am sorry. That must be so hard. Riding the waves is hard- all those ups and downs. I pray you reach the shoreline soon.

Peace.

I don't want to say guys .I'm trying to give you hope but in fact i don't have any even for my self .

I hit 8 months of AP last week .and it really sucks and hurts so much .

I don't know to do every time i call DOS they say the case is still pending AP . and sometimes they say its pending in Egypt and they are not doing anything about it in USA so its up to them now .and when i call the embassy in Cairo they say its pending AP.

As what Joe says before maybe they will put me under AP till i hit 10 months of AP '' i think they wait that long before they send it back to USA '' and then they will send my case back to USA .

Good news! My fiance received a phone call to pick up his visa last week. The visa was available the same day on 11/20/09. We were in AP for 25 days! The worst 25 days of our lives.

My heart goes out to all of you still waiting.

Thank you all for posting in this forum. It kept us informed and sane through this process!

Congratulations on your speedy AP even though it was fast I think the first days are the most disturbing and the most agonizing. Hopefully December will bring alot of people the news they have been waiting for.

I'm trying to hang in there but in fact it does not sound promising at all .

I called DOS and they told me that my case is pending in Cairo and they are not doing anything about it .even when i called the embassy the guy there says yeah its pending in Cairo .so what are they doing all that long ?!!

I wonder why they make it hard like that .can't they say sorry we can not give you the visa .it would be so much better than waiting for it over than 8 months and then nothing .

I hope that we both will hear good news soon .

Ive been reading this thread for a while... I hope HOTGUY and all of you who have been waiting a dreadful amount in AP to get the visa soon insha'Allah, I'm praying for you all insha'Allah!! Don't lose hope, look at the big picture: one day you will see the visa in your passport in your hand at the airport

Hot Guy: Please hang in there and have faith that it is all in God's Hands. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and everyone else waiting. I agree, that if the visa were going to be denied, that you would think that they would just tell you. Like others have said, maybe this wait is a good thing, and they are just finishing the process in Cairo, inhsaallah. I don't know what they do once it is back at the embassy and the AP is finished in Washington DC, but maybe it is just a final review of everything, and maybe they are just slow in Cairo. Do you know how long it has been back there? Please don't let go of hope.

The Amman embassy recieved my fiance's passport on November 18th (they requested it) This morning I recieved this beautiful email from them.

Dear Elizabeth:

The visa will be ready within few days and the passport will be delivered to Aramex services.

I pray that everyone waiting gets good news soon.
