AP TRACKER

Waiting4Approval - if they kept the passport then i believe it would be a simple name check at DOS and you have a very good chance of getting done within 90days - Good Luck

We have found out today that my fiance is on AP. He was interviewed May 12, 09 in London for his K-1, he is a Pakistani citizen but resides in the UK (student). He was issued a 221(G) ONLY for his passport, which he did not have at the time of his interview. He was told once he sends in the passport, he will get the visa. He sent in the passport on June 12, 2009, and we heard nothing from the embassy or DOS regarding the status of his K-1 visa issuance until today.

I (I am the USC in USA) got a call from a CO in the US Embassy in London. She was asking me all sorts of questions, it was a phone investigation. She asked me all the questions that my fiance was asked at the time of his interview in London.

My question is, how much longer do we have to wait now? I am sure their doubts have been eliminated if they were trying to verify our relationship by this phone investigation.

Does a phone investigation usually mean the visa is printed soon after? Granted that the CO is satisfied by the phone investigation?

Can anyone else with a phone investigation share their experience?

This whole process is b*******.... I have been put on AP for more than a yr and marriewd for 2 1/2 yrs.....then finally they say my case is in the "final " stages...

Then we get a letter in the mail saying that our visa application is cancelled because we did not apply for an imigration visa ?!?! what the **** all i have been doing waiting for my immigration visa !

allday i have been contacting the embassy and my senator has been involved in all the talks... how can they deny us on the basis of 203 (e) saying that we did not apply for a imigration visa when that is what im waiting for !

anyone has any sugggestions plz help i am going on monday and i will raise noise at the embassy i want everyone to rememebr my case and face!

Wow, that whole sentence in their letter contradicts one another

Then we get a letter in the mail saying that our visa application is cancelled because we did not apply for an imigration visa

I hope you made a copy of the I-130 application that you had sent... maybe you should make a photocopy of your receipt letter, approval letter, and NVC letter or scan them and mail it to the embassy to show you did apply for an I-130 and it has successfully went through the USCIS and NVC... what makes you feel hopeless is the fact that the embassy is at such a distance to resolve this case, but there has to be a way somehow. Consult with a few lawyers here, and ask your husband to consult with a few lawyers in India to figure out how the resolve this issue.

Im so sorry I hope they get this straightened out soon I remember awhile back the embassy as noted on the tracker requested your passport do you still have that letter ?

[fouziathegr8 0]

thanx to both of ur responses.... i have all the letters they sent me saying that my case does not need any information and that its undergoing administative processing....

hopefully there is a mistake in my case... they asked for the passport a few times and so far they have kept my passpot for 2 weeks now...

i am in india and have been here since march so i will go to the embassy and with proof to see what they are talking about also i will request to speak with a supervisor there ... thanx for ur support its just so emotionally draining....

hI Joe, It would seem that you are not new to this being in AP for the past 4 months, man it really sucks. We just came out of an I-601 and walked right into a 221(g).

Whenever I end a letter to them I think I should end with "If you could read my mind love

What a tale my thoughts could tell" from the song.

I hope you pull out of the mess soon.

Sounds like Gordon Lightfoot to me- A Canadian dude, I think! I'll have to do some reading Ron- I'm not sure what an I-601 really is.... but, looking at your timeline, you have been at it for a long time.

Well Joe, be glad you don't know what a I-601 is, it's like a minimum 12 month guarenteed AP. I guess for me it was a training session leading to the real thing, this AP.

I have been reading a bit and see that people get thier APs right after thier interview all I got was a I-601 and I did get an AP but that was dropped quickly after I wrote to the Director, one thing you don't do is tell a 25 year sober alcoholic that you smell booze on his breath and put it in his file. The I-601 was for a 33 years old conviction.

P.S. my interview was in August 2007
