AP TRACKER

[Justine+David 218]

Somebody posted something about how they do have information on the screen but they are allowed not to give it if they don't want to. It really just depends on who you talk to, unfortunately, and how much of a power-trip they are on any particular day.

My advice (having called DOS many times for a visa payment issue) is to just be very polite when you call them, maybe call them in the morning (so that they haven't been beaten down that day yet by the mean phone calls that I'm sure they must receive??)

I have been told one day that there was a note saying that they sent him some forms for the payment and then the very next day they said there are no notes in the file at all. I friggin hate how ambigious they can be, but not more than you guys, I suppose. I wish the best to all of you and hope you get out of the hell soon.

Thank you so much , I have gotten so much closer to God than ever before too. All this patience I have gotten is thanks to him.

since Jan 28 2010 im still in AP whenever my wife called to DOS they said that ur husband is in background checks...

after that they told to my wife that wait three to six months...

[♥Muslimqueen♥ 2]

I called the DOS agai today and the lady told me its still pending so i asked her the last date stamp and she said its was APRIL. she said the embassy is waitting on clearnce from an American agency.

I gusse that means Name Checks, Background Check?

[♥Muslimqueen♥ 2]

So i think its securety check/name check/ background checks. Is the file still in jerusalem right? so when the checks are done they will call my husband to send in his passport? or will it take long for them to be notified that the checks are done?

i found this site also http://www.fbi.gov/congress/congress03/garrity071003.htm

so 120 days? 4 months. so im not even half way there and thats if im lucky it will be 4 months

Hey girl ,they dont send your file back for checks they send an electronic copy to each agency they want to check you. And as soon as they get all those back they either approve or deny you.Then they call or send a email or letter saying you need to submit your passport.It depends on the embassey which one they use to contact you. Then you should be looking at a visa in say a weeks time sometimes sooner.I have been praying for you alot girl. i know how sad, depressed and angry you have been. We all do.Just know that we are praying for you.Try to hand this to god and trust he will take care of it. i know it is hard,we all have bad days. But since i have been praying about this and given it to god. I have peace. I know that God sent me Alen, and i know he will get him to me in his own time.I may not like it, somedays im impatient because i see his fear since he is back in Iraq. He has been threatened twice and doesnt leave the house anymore unless he has no other option. Soon he has to move out of where he is staying and will have no place to go. All his family is in Sweden. He is alone for the first time in his life. But he is hanging in there and god is gonna take care of everything. This i have to believe or id be crazy. I was crazy the first 3 months. I just wanted to let you know that i am praying for all of you. And i know you all pray for us. My wish for you is that on this night god fills you to the brim with peace.And sends your love to you asap.

Thanks Girly i hope its soon. i dont know why its taking so long my hubby has never done anything and got the recored thing for his interview and it was clean.

Do any of you want to tell us your story about how you met your loved one and when you knew they were the one? I'd love to hear it

Though I was very lucky in my own processing, I still check this thread every few days and feel so supst for you guys. I would go bananas if it happened to me. I pray each night that you guys get to be with your loved ones soon and I continue to tell all of my family and friends (even strangers on the bus who are curious) about this horrible process and how the consulate officers don't treat people like they are human. This arrogance and power trip that they have has got to go.

Aw thanks your soo sweet.

Thanks, You know no matter how hard this journey is i know god sent me to Alen.From Pineville, Louisiana a lil backwoods country girl boarded a plane for Sweden alone never having flown that far to meet the man she had met online 6 months before. I met and started chatting with him because of a picture he had on his instant mesage box of jesus on the cross. most people put a cute picture of themselves,their kids, their pets, etc. Not many of their god. So i sent him a message asking about it. And so that was the begining of many many hours talking.Finally i took a leap of faith and bought a plane ticket. I was scared to death and soo nervous. But i got off that plane 19 hrs later in a strange country. He was waiting for 3 hours in the airport and had shook my flowers to pieces. i couldnt find him at first and thought i had been stood up. All my family thought i was nuts. And i guess it was alil crazy but i had lived all my life without ever just taking a chance. And so finally we see each other and it was like i had found my soulmate. He is the most amazing man. He is not perfect. No one is...But hes is as close as you can get.So when i say god sent him to me. I mean it. I got to stay 7 amazing months with him. And would have married him the first week but we never were able to get sweden to give us a marriage license.I know there are people whom abuse this system of immigration but for those of us here, we could never go thru all this if we did want above all else to be with the one we love. All this waiting and worrying has somehow brought me closer and closer to god, he has not helped me thru this, He has picked me up dusted me off a few times and CARRIED ME. I will spent the rest of my life thanking him for leading me on this path. I was so angry at first, now i pray for the people at the embassey.So long story short. Be thankful for this journey know matter how long because it is taking you somewhere and you are learning for every step. Each day in this life we must learn to cherish because they do go by fast. As my loves says, we only get one life.

awwww Justine you are so sweet. I could write a book on my story, but i did share alil down below.So happy for yall.Thanks for the prayers ,we need all we can get.

Thx girl just wanted you to know i am praying for you. Ya know most americans assume all muslim people are bad. Kinda like Alen. They all think because he is from Iraq he is a terrorist. He has problems killing a bug. But while i was with him he introduced me to his muslim friends and there familys. On catholic religious holidays for Alen they brought candy and would visit. On muslim holidays Alen would visit and bring them treats. They were all so kind and loving people. Just because their religion wasnt his or mine didnt mean we couldnt respect each others personal beliefs.I met so many kind people whom had fled the war and sought refuge in sweden.I will never forget my time there or the friends i made. We all, no matter what religion have bones ,teeth,skin a brain we are human beings. Just because there are a few bad apples doesnt mean the whole basket is bad. I wish more than anything for peace in all these war torn countrys.
