I have to admit that I have so much stress in my life that being in the AP black whole has not affected me. My husband is such a spiritual & emotional support from such a distance that it has been significant through my recent struggles.

Today he told me that his brother and his address had a visit from someone from the embassy. I know this is great news, because it means the embassy is working on our case.

Does anyone have an estimate as to when we might get the phone call to come back in?

I just want to use this forum to thank all my VJ friends for their notes and comments of encouragement.

What does it mean when you get a home visit? And also does everyone in AP get home visits?

The visa is usually given after they process the home visit and do a last check at the embassy level. This is around 2-6 weeks. Yes, home visits are progress! Lurking, I hope you guys get the visa soon.

Nita,

No not everyone gets a home visit. If they have any question of authenticity, or if the applicant is from a high-fraud country such as MiddleEast, N. Africa, and South Asia as well as some Latino countries, home visits are done for some applicants. It is not bad it if its done to your nor good. It's just another part of processing, but for those who get one, they can know that work is being done on their cases. Otherwise little is known about what happens to a case from AP-Visa issuance.

I hope everyone is able to reunite with their loved ones soon.

God bless,

Tam

Thanks Tammy,

That is just what I thought through what I have read. I sent the embassy an email about 1 1/2 weeks ago so hopefully I will hear back some good news soon.

The visit does feel good to know that they are working on our case.

This is the best news I have gotten since he got his interview date.

Wow Lurking, you too? My husband's family home was just visited by an embassy official as well on Monday, the exact lady that interviewed both of us in August at his original interview. His brother answered all her questions and then went to his mother, but his mother didn't realize who she was because she wouldn't identify herself, but just asked her to answer her questions, so my mother in law told her no since she would not identify herself. The lady just turned around and left. My husband's brother then told my MIL that this was a lady from the embassy, so she ran after her and said that she didn't know who she was, but she can state the fact that her son is happily married, but the lady ignored her and left in her car. My MIL now is concerned that this will negatively affect our case, but maybe not since my husband's brother answered all her questions. I, too, emailed the embassy to inquire about our case, but havent' received an answer yet.

I am so happy for you that this is going to be over soon. Maybe our husbands will be called back together, who knows?

Good luck. I will keep you in my prayers!

Deb

Hello Kelly,

Do not worry. Your mom-in-law not answering questions should not be held against you. I have read some of your post where they think it is fraud, but without any proof you will get your visa. It might take a little longer because of their intention on proving they are right.

They did not accuse my husband of being a fraud, but through his interview details i can tell they never intended on giving him that visa no matter what he said in the interview or brought to the table. I am glad to hear that they are doing their research on our case.

He has a verifiable backround of service to a church, work, and school. So that helps in our case too. Plus our ages do not bring question because he is 9 years my senior.

Stay strong! Thank you for your note. Keep me posted if you hear anything. Feel free to send me a note.
