Hello all,

My fiancé is currently scheduled for his appointment for his visa with the embassy in Sanaa, Yemen. How long have you waited to get your visa after approval at the embassy? Did you receive the visa immediately or did you have a waiting period (like 2 weeks) to pick up your passport with the visa?

The reason that I'm asking is that people that have had approvals with the embassy in Yemen are waiting 2 weeks or longer to receive their visas. However, these people that are waiting are receiving other immigrant visas such as K2 or K3 etc. (My fiancé is interviewing for K1, of course)

Any information would be appreciated... my fiancé's (rescheduled) appointment is on June 23rd...

The visa will not be issued same day as interview. If your fiancé passes the interview he will be told that during interview. He will have to leave his passport and the visa is usually available 2-3 weeks later. Check consulate review tab on this website.

Bear in mind also that an indeterminate period of "administrative processing" might occur before beneficiaries from Middle Eastern & North African countries receive their otherwise-approved visas.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Nefure,

How was your fiance's appointment? Did it go well?

Approved Visa - or AP?

God willing, my fiance will have his appointment soon as well in Sana'a. We are still waiting on the NOA2.

Just curious, because I know historically Sana'a has been a slow embassy! Thoughts, or advice to share?

Thanks!
