Dear M. Saleh:

Caller indicated they are:

Applicant or Petitioner

Case type:

I130

Filing date:

02/07/2011

Receipt #:

eac-11-901-xxxxx

Referral ID:

T1B2021101xxxxxxxxxx

Beneficiary (if you filed for someone else):

Ahlam

Type of service requested:

Outside Normal Processing Times

The status of this service request is:

Due to instability in Yemen, U.S. Department of State consular officials have temporarily suspended the processing of visa applications within Yemen. The instability within Yemen has also made it difficult for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) officers to authenticate documents submitted to support claimed family relationships, or to process DNA test results for those petitioners who have opted to provide them as supporting evidence of their non-spousal family relationships. Consequently, relevant components within USCIS are working together to formulate alternative means to resolve family relationship questions that involve petitioners or beneficiaries who reside in Yemen or have submitted documents purportedly issued in Yemen. Once alternative methods are finalized, USCIS will issue written guidance to its service centers and field offices concerning alternate methods of authenticating family relationships for this population under the current circumstances.

Hi there, I got married in Morocco and filed for I-130 back in November 2010. My case is currently a under background check. I contacted my congresswoman and she told me that since I previuosly married to a Yemeni woman and divorced her and my divorce documents are issued in Yemen, USCIS, do not recognize any document issued in Yemen. As a result, all visa applications from a person who is originally from Yemen or whose original docuemnts are issued in Yemen will be suspended till further notice.
