Well everyone here is my heart felt pain!! I found out today just hours before my husband arrived........At around 4pm that there would be an admin review on his case. They took his fingerprints electronically and told him he would have to wait 2 months!! Why how.......I can't understand!! Why?? The consule stated she made a mistake, apologized and assured him, he would be with me by the time the baby came!!! That is sooo unexceptable!! Why had lamaze classes on monday.......I'm soooo destroyed!! Can anyone tell me a lil about admin reviews.......????

I'm so sorry that happened:(

I don't know anything about any of the immigration process.

I'm here to learn as much as I can though.

Best of luck to you.

Wow that sucks...

I don't get it though.. you went to the interview, got approved & were told to come back and get the visa? Is it when you went back to get it that you were told about the A/R?

Oh my god, that is awful, and so unfair!! It doesn't seem right that they can do that after approving you! I am so sorry for you, and hope that they get it sorted out in much less than 2 months!

That is what truly upset me......I called the Visa Specialist in DC and was told the visa was issued on the 30th of Oct and something came up with mu husbands name, prints were requested on the 31st.........This seems sooo unfair!! :crying::crying:

This morning while speaking to Dept of State they told me it takes about 2 weeks........So I'm hoping it will be that long and not 2 months, maybe she made a mistake. The really ironic thing is the Interviewer actually told my husband she was sorry this was the first time she has done a K3 and she was unfamiliar with the processes.....

God willing this will all work out, I was told this is called a security check. Its like an Admin review, but nothing further is needed.....

Thank you to all , your kind words bring me confort......The babies and me just need my husband here!!
