What is going on ???

It means that you are in security checks or other checks at this time. Did you get a 221(g) at the time of the interview? What does it say? Being in Administrative Review or Administrative Processing can mean name and fingerprints checks? Travel, education, job checks and verification of the marriage, etc.

why they send fake letters??

These are not fake letters and they are just approximation letters to keep you from being in the total dark. AR/AP can last for days, weeks, months and in some cases years.

why 60 days then 6 months???

Because were hoping that whatever the holdup on your case would be resolved in 60 days and then they extended the time frame to 6 months.

is that true because im arabic they are doing all of this ???

Yes, some of it is because of your being Muslim Male and you are from a high fraud/terrorist country. Since 9/11 men coming from T-countries have to endure more stricter checks.

is the security checks mean FBI name check ???

Not only is the FBI checking you out but numerous agencies are looking at your name and fingerprints. It is a very lengthy process when they start the security checks. Plus, if they are verifying your travels, job, education, job, etc different agencies are involved.

how long does it take ???

how can i be with my wife ??

No time frame for AR/AP like I said earlier it can be days, months, and in some cases years.

yes i got 221G because the CO thinks i failed to convince her of my relattionship with my wife and decided to return the file back for more review no admin review ...I hope this helps

Also we have been waiting and in check since more than 2 years from now ...

Hadi,

You need to find out if they are holding the I-130 or the I-129 for review. It is unclear of which visa you are in review for at this time. Most of the time they ask for more information from you to try and verify your relationship before sending it back. I do not know what to tell you at this time other than I am sorry about your circumstances and hopefully someone can give you some advice. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3896 is a link to returning petitions to the USA from a member by the name of Kiyah. Good luck.

That is not entirely correct. Has nothing to do with being Muslim. Has everything to do with being from a MENA country. I have seen posts from Jewish, Christians, and so on, petitioners, with delays, only common thing: MENA.

Males in paticular are looked at in more detail. I tend to think it's because of the common names used in that region for males.
