Error on Consuls Computer--- VISA APPROVED

[NicciNono 1]

Has this happened to anyone. He called it a Administrative Error and that they will send instructions to send the passport to the embassy in Ciudad Juarez in a few days and it should be 2 weeks before we get it.

Is this normal?

Did them tell him he is approved? And if the computer was not broken he would have gotten a visa today? I never heard of it but I am still new to this site. And computer crash all the time.

What did the CO tell him?

Did they say approved or AP?

Very interesting... We got a similar answer when we went to Juarez in 2005 and after having been on these forums for a long time, I think this is something they say to a lot of people. Why? I really don't know. It seems to be like code for 'we're thinking about it' or something.

What happened to my wife when she went in for her K1 interview, was that she had her interview and things seemingly went well but they told her that 'se ha caido el sistema de las computadoras, y tendra que esperar hasta el lunes para la respuesta' (I think the interview was on a Thursday). We had no idea if she had been approved or not and we had return tickets to Jalisco the next day on Friday and she didn't want to stay. In those days you had to wait in Juarez to pick up the visa; the DHL thing didn't exist. I called the consulate after we had gotten back the next Monday and they told me that she had been approved.

So I don't know why they do this, but I have noticed that they have told a lot of people a similar story to what they told your husband today. I mean, there's no way their computers are crashing every other day especailly after 6 years. No way. I think it's just a weird way of them saying that you need to wait a few days... In any case, congratulations !

From what I understand he just said we will send instructions to you so you can send your passport and get it stamped. They gave it back because he didnt want to wait the 2 weeks in Juarez, but they said we could mail it in. I think it was because my case was never sent to the NVC for some reason..... But it sounded like a yes, i let everyone know whats up in a bit when we get a better chance to talk.

Ok, maybe that's a little different then. That does sound like a yes to me too and good call on not waiting it out in Juarez. Didn't he previously select the DHL location to where they would send his visa later after having been approved? That sounds strange that they asked him to send his passport back to Juarez. I don't think I've heard of that.

yeah, hopefully the mexican call center can help us out, they suck at answering questions, many VJers are more quilified. HONESTLY! Ill peep in later and give the details.

UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING thats what the 221g says, it is not checked on the denials, the consul said he does want to give the visa, everything was perfect but his comuter wouldnt let him accept or deny it.

This means there is something about the details of the case that must be further checked into. The problem with A P is no one will be able to tell you how long it will take. You can call anyone you want but you will get no answer as to whats going on. This is why people dread A P. Luckly you are with he & your kids during the period.

A good guess would be the fact that the USC wife doesnt reside in the USA. They may want to establish where you will live & look over the support factor because you dont work in the USA. They may need to verify how your father will fully support a new family of 4.

This sounds pretty likely to me... I just don't understand why they tell everyone that their computers don't work instead of just coming right out and saying that they need to look into the case more. It's kind of lame.

So what does it means? approved or not? Because she thinks her hubby more likely has been approved.

[Done--Really 331]

Not approved yet. There is something that needs additional attention first.

It means he was neither approved nor denied. She said the officer told her husband everything looked good so they thought that meant approved.

I guess this is also why they gave him back his passport, which I also thought was weird. He shouldn't need it to travel within Mexico, so I was kind of suprised that they just gave it back to him and implied that he would later send it back to the counsulate so that they could stamp it with the visa and then send it back to him again. That's some craziness. But I guess if the decision hasn't been made yet then I kind of understand. Kind of.

I think these things can be seen in different ways. Giving the passport back is weird in some ways. I think they do it because they know it can take an unknown amount of time to get a decision. It may mean that the decision isnt going to be made at the embassy. I dont think the officer that did the interview knew what would happen or when so the passport was returned. This is why there is no explanation given I think.

Well, to be certain about the status of his casefile -

YOU call into the DoS Hotline, get a Human, and inquire about casefile status.
