Babs was told to pick up his visa today at 3. When he was called, the CO told him that she was very sorry and she knows he has been patient and that they wanted to give him the visa today, but, even though our documents are fine and our relationship is fine, the case is still in admin processing (what???). She gave him back his passport and a white sheet and said she'd call.

We've already done 6 months of admin processing, before they called him back and told him he was approved. During this whole approval drama, Babs was attacked by armed robbers on his way to the embassy, had to get a new passport, and also got a new biometric birth certificate (which he gave to the embassy when he turned in the new passport for the visa two weeks ago). Why would they call him in multiple times and make him do all that running around if they were just going to take it back? What could have happened? And what can we do about it?

The white sheet says something like: "The visa has been temporarily refused according to INA section 221g as we lack certain documents or information needed to reach a final decision." They didn't ask for any documents, but circled "awaiting results of administrative processing" and then the CO wrote "We'll call" and signed it.

I'm so frustrated. After the robbery, it's really difficult waiting every time Babs goes to the embassy and worrying about what could happen. On the up side, he's buddy buddy with all the security and embassy staff by now:)

First and foremost, get transport to and from the embassy if there's a real risk of getting robbed. I hope to God he's careful so he can get himself home.

I hope your situation gets resolved soon. God Bless.

I can't wait to be home with my love.
