18 months of AP. Could you believe guys? it's crazy.

We couldn't receive any update rather than "still pending". My wife contacted her representative office a couple of months ago, and they found out through the DOS that my case is done there and it has been in the US Consulate in Jerusalem for few months. We have been trying to contact them since but the same answer "still pending", even the representative office got the same answers.

Anyway, we are now applying for the CR-1, and forget the K-3 visa. We feel that we did a mistake by applying for the

K-3 visa 3 years ago thinking it is more faster than CR-1. In a couple of weeks I will send my documents to the NVC and wait for the interview if things goes well.

At least we are living together.

Everytime I read about people who have been in AP this long, I get so worried. This is probably the hardest part of the whole process. I dont know what to say except for hang in there, you got this far and INSHALLAH you will get the visa soon. Ya Rab!

There really needs to be something done about these ridiculous waiting times in AP. It should be an issue the president should look into. Good luck

Let my case encourage you. I'm sure the longest wait is behind you. Thats what gave me hope knowing the wait had to get shorter than when we started. I feel your journey will end soon. Good Luck
