Please be prepaired for at least 6 months of AP.

Went for interview on 23rd July. As expected, put on AP. The consular officer was least interested in usual stuff like marriage photos and proof of ongoing relationship/legitimacy of marriage. Instead, she was more interested in my travel history. She said that I should expect around 3 months of AP.

Its OK for me as my wife and daughter are with me and I am not in a hurry to migrate to US.

Can you please add me to the AP tracker as well.

Thanks.

I hope things end very soon for you guys- sounds like good news coming! Several months of being in AP is sooooo hard- I just hit 3 months and it seems like the end of the world... I hope the embassies all around the world can improve the processing times for AP cases....

I sent an Email to the embassy to check my status and they sent me an Email back and they asked me to send my passport to them .

But it seems like they sent the same Email to everyone today . they even sent it to some people that they already have their passports !!!!!!!!!

I hope they really mean they want your passport. Why don't you call DOS and confirm if your AP is over and if they are just waiting on your passport?

Three weeks ago they asked me for documents, a new medical and passport because my I-601 was approved. This week they asked for another form to be filled and a noterized letter of intent, well sent it all off yesterday and asked for the passport back since I'm back in AP in case I need it urgently.

The way I see it is if they send it back it will be a long wait, and if they keep it it could mean a few weeks give or take.

The US Embassy in London has kept my fiance's passport but still he is in AP after 2 months and 2 weeks from the day of his interview...I called DOS to ask whether the embassy keeping or returning the passport means anything in terms of AP/AR wait time, and I was told, no, it doesn't mean that AP will be processed faster if the embassy keeps the passport.

This is all so frustrating...I just hope all of us waiting get the visas in hand ASAP!!!

MARM, I wish thing were better and easier to understand. Sharon's mother is not well and 98 years old, we lost Sharon's father almost a month after we were told I had to file a waiver. It took a week of calls, faxes and UPS before I got permission to attend the funeral. Right now can't afford the waste of time trying to get the passport from the consulate and deal with the border folk.

They have had it about 4 weeks another 2 weeks and I'm asking again.

Oh that is all so sad

I hope that you get your waiver approved ASAP. I don't think these agencies or whatever DOS or the US Embassy employs when doing AP/AR processes consider us human beings. As much as DOS and the embassies say that they are "sensitive" to our concerns, they really do not understand. It is a shame...I mean I understand the need for mandatory security/similar checks and processes, but it would help a GREAT DEAL and eliminate a lot of our stress if they told us what it is that they are exactly doing at each stage of the way. We are supposed to have a right to information aren't we? It is all just so frustrating...

And what bothers me even more is for example, I called DOS today and asked them the difference between AP/AR and they say there is no difference. And when I asked about how much longer and the fact that they still have my fiance's passport, I get a standard "don't you know that" answer: "EVERYONE goes through these checks ma'am". But it is not like that, not everyone endures such long and exasperating wait times for security checks...especially out of the US Embassy in London.

It would be nice if they would "throw us a bone" once in awhile, with updated information on whatever they are doing or waiting for... When I have called the DOS to check on my case, I've been told they cannot see any detailed info on the AP, because the background/security checks (or whatever they are doing) is "classified information." Any tidbit would sure help the waiting process....

computer does make mistake some time,,this happen to me but not from Embassy it happen to me with NVC

when my case was already completed with them and was already sent to IS embassy , NVC sent me a letter indicating that they have not recieved the payment to process my case and inorder to process i need to send 400$ which was already sent , so i just figured it out that it was mistake and i ignored it as the case would not reach the embassy if they did not recieve my paymnet .

About a week ago, I had a Congressional Inquiry done for my fiance's K-1. I got a reply then from DOS and US Embassy London saying that they were "reviewing the qualifications of Mr. XXXXXXXXXXX (my fiance) for this visa". Now a week after wards from that inquiry, one of my senators made a Senatorial Inquiry on my behalf for my fiance and the US Embassy in London replied:

"At this time, the case is under review by the Immigrant Visa Unit. Upon completion of this review, Mr.XXXXXXXXXXX will be contacted directly by the Immigrant Visa Unit regarding his visa."

My fiance interviewed on May 12, 09 at the US Embassy in London. They have kept his passport with them. Does this recent answer from the US Embassy in London mean that they are almost done with my fiance's case? Since they do not mention anything about security checks or processing? All it says is review.

Any opinions/advice is appreciated.
