hey fellow VJers

alrighty...so just got off the phone with DOS...and I asked the usual "Can I get an update on the status of my husband's visa"...she said sure.. took the case number and asked for our names...and then she was like hmmm...

i said hmmm what...is there something wrong? she said "no, it's just that here it says everything is completed and looks good with checks and all but the visa has not been issued and I am wondering why" i said...the last couple of weeks they said it was in AP...she said yes it says here everything is complete...i told her so should the visa be issued soon...she said it "should" but I do not know what is taking Cairo so long... :crying: i told her is there any way for you to contact them because i have contacted them and have not received a response...she said if you hear nothing by the end of this week let us know...

soooo i do not know what to think and feel like i am going crazy...what could this mean...and IF she is correct and everything has been c ompleted with AP and all then where the HECK is the visa...YARAAAAAAB YEKOON KHEIR...i really would love for the visa to get issued but i do not want to put my hopes up...maybe its a false alarm or maybe she just wanted to make me feel better because i call them twice a week lol

what do you all think? please pray for us thanks

I certainly will pray for you, dillydally. You could always e mail the Embassy and keep trying there. It sounds very hopeful !

I pray that the visa gets issued soon insha Allah. Keep emailing the embassy, they have to answer sometime. Alhamdulillah all the checks are complete!

Hugs,

Ayesha

HOpefully they won't have 'printer issues' like they did with Jean. Sounds like you are mere steps away....

I remember a whole back a member nouna said she found out that there are only a certain amount of visas that can be issued each month and that there is a stack of passports waiting their turn. I forget how many she said...maybe 300? Anyways I bet that is what is keeping it so long. Congratulations on being out of AP!!! I'd be screaming and over the moon if I were you!!!

what the fudge is going on at the clean version of hell in Cairo (USA embassy ) ??!!!!!! i dunno why that woman (consulate chief ) drives all Egyptians nuts with their visa i think they have to fire her

they are so slow there i think Egyptians people who work at the embassy taught Americans who to be slow and the Americans taught Egyptians who to be sucks

keep emailing the embassy and inshaallah you will hear good news soon

have a nice blessed day

actually maybe not...i think the person i talked to initially had no idea what she was talking about...or maybe the second one did not...i called them again to make sure...and she kind of paused...and was like well hmmm...i guess cairo is doing some additional AP...and then she said "yes yes i think so"... oh well...i knew it was a false alarm...inshAllah everything will be ok thank you all for your support

Good Lord! Why do they play with people's emotions like that?

I know it is not like we are not under enough stress with dealing with our work and family and regular stuff. Now we deal with being apart from the ONE we love and they keep swining us back and forth and that is if we get any info at all.

It sounds to me like the Consulate is now reviewing the case (all the AP clearances) before they issue the visa.

I think Tammy mentioned that AP/AR is a process of going back and forth between Stateside agencies and the Consulate.

I wish someone had some more insight into this.

Oh certainly. Have you ever seen a US Immigrant visa?

It's like this thing they attach to the passport with epoxy - takes up an entire page ... probably has some kind of radio transmitter built into it, a million security features, embossed graphics, holograms, and it's technicolor too!

It's like a little work of engineering going on there.

( Of course you know, I'm exaggerating ... but, it's a complex little beast - I don't doubt that they have limited quantity on-hand at the embassy. )

Tomorrow will be two weeks since Jack has sent his passport to the Embassy and still no word.

SandyNJack, It's like they can't resist twisting the knife a little bit more before they say good bye to your file.
