Ahmed went to pick up his passport and visa and the embassy told him we are now in Adminstrative Processing. I called and I was told they are probably reviewing the visa papers he submitted. They said there are a lot of cases and they didn't have time to review before his interview. Well he turned in the forms at 9:30, and his interview last Thursday was moved form 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, so I wonder what they were doing in that time. Ahmed did say that there was a lot of people at the embassy that day. This whole week we were thinking he was offically approved and they did not call or email either one of us to tell us other wise. He was told at the interview he was approved and left his passport last week. I was told it could be between 4-8 weeks for the review. They did give him a website he can check with his passport number, so we will do that everyday. Just frustrated and I really miss him so much and want him here.

well that sucks its quite possible that AP is common for Tunisian men but i really do hope that it is a quick process for you and you are soon together.

good luck

What a load of !

Sorry to hear about this.

Someone with more knowledge might correct me here, but I think it's common enough for AP to be done in North African & Middle Eastern countries.

They should have told you this at his interview! Shame on them!

Hope you get it resolved quickly!

Keep us updated and good luck!

Finally got our interview date. May 8, 2012. Glad to have a date, but SERIOUSLY?! Why does it seem that nothing with our case is done within the timeframe that most people experience. They were scheduling interviews 3-4 weeks out and all of a sudden it's 7 weeks for us. Sorry, had to vent.

Happy for all of you coming to the US soon! Welcome and congratulations!!

So I starting to look into the AOS phase for when my fiance gets up here and came across an interesting issue....

I never actually received a hard copy of my NOA2 in the mail from the USCIS but it was never an issue for getting the K-1 visa.

Anyway, looking into the AOS steps I see we need to include a copy of the NOA2 in our application. I called up the USCIS to ask for another copy (that they lost the first time!) and they said I would need to send in a I-824 Application for Duplicate Notice. Oh...and it costs $405!!

Just wondering if anyone else had this happen? There is no way I'm paying $400 for something that isn't my fault.

Maybe time to go to my congressman?

Well since no one knew the answer to my question I went to figure it out myself (I'm self sufficient like that )!

Just had an Infopass Meeting with an immigration officer and although Visa Journey states it should be included, the NOA2 is NOT necessary for the AOS filing process.

I brought in a copy of my NOA1 to the appointment and he showed me that he can simply scan the barcode on that letter and up pops our case showing that the application was approved!

Just thought I would pass this on in case someone never received/lost their NOA2 hardcopy, it will save you the $409 replacement letter fee!!

Jon is boarding his plane to the U.S. tonight!! Good day all in all!
