Any recommndation on AP

[KGH 0]

My Financee is placed on AP by the US Embassy, any recommendation on how to follow up on the case in the US and with the embassy?

Does any one knows how long it may take.

Were 10 people from iran on that day, all were placed on AP, except One.......

AP is just that Administrative Processing it can be for many things. If you have any missing documents get them to them and then all you can do is just wait the good thing is women usually get through AP fast I know this was a shock but take a deep breath and relax there is nothing you can do to speed up the process. You can call DOS for updates sometimes they are helpful sometimes not. Good Luck

Call your senator ASAP and get his staff involved. Try to keep the petition at the embassy.

I asked them about missing documents, they said every thing is complete and nothing is missing, just Washington has to do some Administrative processing on the case before we print the visa

Have u ever had any luck with your Senator? because last time I had immigration problem with USCIS about my mom's citizenships which was placed on Name Check, Senator and Congressman they were both useless and couldn't do any thing.

The country your husband is coming from is almost common for this AP process. I'm also in Ap process but my wife is from Colombia. Just sit back and relax it's going to be ok. Your husband will be approved soon.

May depend on what state and who your senator is.

Our senators immigration specialist helped us BIGTIME 2 different times plus 2 of my friends.

Also when my fiancee was denied the first time they found out the exact reasons why she was denied before the petition was sent back to USCIS.

Makes sense, the country is Iran.

No one can do anything regarding AP. Accept the dissapointment as just part of the process. It really is this part of the country. Sorry for your dissapointment.

Please join the AP tracker forum for support and hopefully after your quick ap you will return to give support.

What in Gods name are you talking about? There is nothing a Senator can do so early on in the AP Process. If this person would have stated that he's been in AP for a long period of time (say 2 years as an example) than yeah, I would agree. But contacting a state representative (such a s a senator or congressman) so early in the AP process is rediculous & useless.

Now, what he can do and should do is get the e-mail address to the embassy in his country and e-mail them once a week, politely asking for an update on his AP. AP can last any amount of time and it could be for any amount of reasons. Please be patient and hopefully everything will turn out well.

Good Luck.

1) Have I ever been on AP? Yes

2) How Long? 30 Days

3) Why would I say not to? If you read my post carefully, I didn't state that you shouldn't, just that he should give it some time before you do.

4) Why should he wait before calling his Senator? In my opinion, it's always prudent to have a little time pass before requesting the help of an appointed official (unless an emergency exists). This way you don't appear to be another person contacting them for every little thing.

If you are put on AP, it's something that the embassy has no control over. It might have been missing information or an additional background check that needed to be done. Again, my advise would be to at least give it 30 days before you go off the deap end. In the meanwhile, send them an e-mail once a week. And remember to always be as courtious as possible. After all, they are the gate keepers.

Not intended to scare the petitioner......

My now husband, then fiance, is from Iran, he has a very common name. He had his interview in Ankara Turkey April 2007 and placed in AP. October his name came up on the list he went back to Ankara and gave them his passport. A week later he had it returned because he was in AP again. I finally involved my congressman after it had been one year. I felt this had been a reasonable time and would not be just I'm in a hurry, or I'm trying to get pushed to the head of the line. He finally got his Visa July 2008 and we have been married almost one year now.

The AP process is different for every person and every country. Being from Iran it will naturally be expected to take longer, but not always. A lot depends on how many hits he gets on his name, where the files are to verify it is not him, whether he has ever traveled outside the country, and a multitude of other factors.

No one can speed up AP, not your senator, not the congressman, not the President, not the Head of homeland security, no one.

What you can do is make your congressman aware of your situation and if it takes a long time, say more than 6 months of AP then have them send an inquiry.

Please everyone remember when an inquiry is received from a congressman the Embassy must respond within a certain time frame. This means they stop working on the cases to deal with the inquiry. Might not sound like much but imagine them getting 50 or 100 inquiries a week, that's a lot of time.

I wish you a speedy AP, it is normal, don't get nervous unless it has been been longer than 6 months and good luck
