Ok I've done everything I can. Called my senator, wrote my senator, called the US embassy, called delbros.. NO ONE seems to know anything.

It has now been 25 days since my fiance has been approved and still nothing.

What are my next steps aside from going insane?

Sorry but I'm really losing my patience here. I know she'll be here eventually but I can't stand the fact that someone is dropping the ball here somewhere taking advantage of people like me. It's almost like we're being treated like we're on AR? When in fact we were approved at the interview.

Anyone know how long I should wait? Whats the longest anyone has waited that wasn't on AR? :help:

Email the embassy and ask for an update and mention that you are concerned since your SO was approved and should of received her visa by now? Hopefully, they will send you an email back and tell you the status.

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

There is no email address. Furthermore I've already called.. just keeps saying its still processing. Why the heck does it take so long?

No suggestions?

hi!

Although my visa is different from your fiance, I think we have the same case. I got interviewed last Oct 13 and up until now my visa hasn't been released by the embassy.

I applied for an L2 visa and I was assured by the embassy that I got approved since the consul took my passport. The same as you I emailed, faxed and called the embassy.

They said that they had some technical difficulties at that time and I "think" they were trying to fix the records of the applicants. So those approved visas which were unfortunately *hit* by their system glitch were all in backlog. :angry:

I don't know if AR situation is same as ours. We were approved on oct 5th.. somehow the embassy hasn't even released the visa yet. I called the senators office and she gives me some bs excuse like I-130 applications are backed up without any explaination. Then I tell her mam there are people who passed the interview 2 weeks after us and they already have their K1 Visa. She can't even tell me when she'll reply me.. she just said wait 1 or more weeks.. wow.. just wow.

hi sixstringjunkie.

yes, she is a k1 visa also. she's not an AR case. she got approved after interview. she had her interview same as mine on july 28. she got her visa oct 7. unfortunately, i am on AR right now. i was asked to submit my previous adjustment of status but don't have a copy so i just submitted a letter of explaination. i don't even know if i will get a visa or not.

Something doesn't add up here.. if you say she had her interview on july 28th and got her visa in oct 7 then that is more than 6 weeks. thats more like 8 weeks.. are you sure you got the numbers right?

Also did they ever tell her why it took so long to get her visa even if she's approved? Don't most everyone get it within two weeks if they are approved?

opps. sorry she got her visa 3rd week of sept and flew oct 7. exactly 6 weeks. visa approval depends on the consul working on it.

Does anyone here know exactly what the consul "works on?" that takes this long? I thought the interview is the last thing? If you're approve they just print the visa no?
