Interviews in San'a, Yemen

[Faithalba 1]

Hey for anybody who has sent in additional forms to the Sanaa Embassy such as a new AOS through DHL can you tell me how long it took the Sanaa Embassy to review them before giving a call or an email to you? Thank you for any and all help!

So i refreshed my email a few mins ago and i see an email from Sanaaiv. it was sent to me at 11:34 lol so they r starting to respond to ppls emails.this is wat it says

Thank you for your inquiry. This case is still undergoing administrative processing to ensure it meets all qualifications for an immigrant visa.

We realize these extended time periods cause frustration for many individuals, and we are sensitive to the fact that the purpose of the immigrant visa program is to re-unite families. We cannot predict when the processing of the visas will be completed, but be assured that we are aware of your concerns and will do everything we can to adjudicate the visas as soon as all necessary processes are complete.

Best,

I had my kids in Yemen cause I thought I could get them passports but it wasn't as easy as I thought. They were denied passports because I couldn't prove my residency. I left newyork when I was 16 that was in 1992 I have 5 children 2 from previous marriage and 3 from my current marriage my last child I had in Michigan didn't want to make the same mistake again and have him in Yemen. I applied for my 4 children and husband all at the same time but my older children were denied because I had gotten their birth certificates when they were older so USCIS asked for more evidence the only way I can prove they are my kids is by DNA and at that time the embassy wasn't testing anyone because of the shipping embargo and their wasn't any other way I can prove they're my kids I sent affidavits but that wasn't enough so they got denied but I appealed and the appeal worked and I got another chance to present evidence so we went with DNA. We sent the test kits to the embassy but they wouldn't test us because they have to go by the order they receive the cases even though my kids had a deadline to present the evidence the embassy didnt care. Now I'm waiting for what USCIS is going to respond to our evidence we sent the receipts of the DNA kits and DHL shippment info now I just have to pray. Can everyone please pray for my family I've been through so much only Allah knows. Thanks

sorry to tell u this but I got the exact email three months ago.

Hi all.. great news today! My fiancé FINALLY received his visa today! We are so very excited! Looks like "my visa journey" with this embassy at least, is complete!

I wish everyone here luck and that your process goes quickly. Hopefully they will work on the horribly long wait times.

For those of you that are in the U.S. - please contact your congressman with your situation and explain the wait times/poor service that you are or have experienced. Maybe they will eventually get a clue as to what actually happens there. From my experience, it does help to contact your Congressman, as every time that I did it seemed that things started to move with our case.

[Faithalba 1]

Yeah we have a number and it says the package was delivered and the embassy signed for it.

I just don't want to wait a few more months and then them replying to me that the papers we sent in aren't enough. Ugh, this is so frustrating I swear.

Hey H93 have they gotten back to you about the package you sent in theough DHL?

[H93 55]

So has your husband gotten an interview i wanna who has had a sponsor out of state and has got approved for a visa? And ive been Yemen exactly 6 months from today and it took five months from case complete to get an interview appointment and i dont even think theyll let the sponsore in it doesnt really do anything in my opinion ive never heard of that.

My sponser is living in CT and I live in MI and they accepted our AOS, no problems.

I don't think it matters as long as you know your sponser well, even better if you're related.

[H93 55]

Hey H93 have they gotten back to you about the package you sent in theough DHL?

No they haven't. I don't expect them to for at least 3 months from now. When my husband sent our papers through DHL the guy working there told my husbabd that the embassy just started sending replies back for those people who sent documents to the embassy in September.

So I let my sister contact a MI senator on my behalf. She found my story very touching and said to wait 10 days and if the embassy doesn't reply she will call an expedite on our case. 10 days is up tomorrow so she will contact them and tell them they haven't replied to us and hopefully she requests the expedite like she said she would.
