Hi, im silent reader of this form. When i checked my case status it says this...

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrativeprocessing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached.

For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV.

I dont understand why they are talking about diversity visa? My interview was 20 september 2011 and im on ap since then. Plz reply...

Yeah sure.. ill add you as well...

I think this is such a new system there will be glitches in it but i think i would call and be sure they have you listed as CR1 visa not diversity visa.

You can call DOS or the embassy (but its most difficult to talk to someone at the embassy) Just have them verify what you have applied for and tell them the online visa checking says something different.

Don't worry... evthing will be ok.. DOS once told me my husband was an f visa.. i had to correct them and tell them no its a cr1.

[carolynhotstuff 252]

I called DOS today to check and see if Ahmed is scheduled for a new interview after our case was sent back to the embassy. If you guys remember we had appealed the Notice of intent to Revoke(NOIR) and won our appeal. The lady at DOS says our case is back in AP. I expected Ahmed to be called for an interview and then we would have AP after that.

I am very sad to see our case back in AP. That means there is no telling how long we will have to wait.

When they do name checks do they do them on the individuals involved in the application process or is it done on the immediate family members or both? The reason why I am asking is because during my wife's second interview the CO took the names of all her sisters and brother-in-laws.

[princess18 3]

Hello everyone! I thought I should come out of hiding and say 'Hi' now. As you can imagine, being a female and our case going all smoothly all the way, Alhumdulillah, this happening now - being put in AP - was a bit of a surprise. My interview was very smooth and very brief. We had front-loaded our application so I could see the CO already flipping through all the relationship evidence and pictures before she even called me up to the window. Right when I was expecting her to say, "You're approved...", she reached for a green slip and handed it to me, telling me they needed more time on our case and that she couldn't give me any idea of how long it could take.

Hubby and I have been taken aback...he's coming to visit me in a week, after 11 months of being apart, and the plan was to take me back with him in early September, where he's starting a new job and we were to set up house together. But we do not know what Allah Knows and Plans for us... just hoping it'll be over soon.

I will put up a detailed account of my interview experience here for everyone soon, Insha'Allah.

Much love and thank you for making this thread...keeps everyone united! May we all be rejoined with our spouses... very, very soon. Ameen.

dont worry about it too much, maybe they just needed some time to review the documents you submitted and get the visa processed.
