Hello,

My husband had his interview on November 12, 2012 at Dhaka, Bangladesh. Everything went smoothly, then at the end they handed my husband the blue paper know as the 221(g) but did not specify what he needs to do next or do they want any additional documents!! They kept all our original documents marriage certificate, his birth certificate and his police certificates from Bangladesh and London (since he was in London for 6 years). Does anyone have any idea how long does the consulate in Bangladesh take to finish administrative processing??? Please someone help!!!?

Thank you in advance

NOA1 and NOA2 is an approximate date, I dont remember the exact date.

NOA1 - dec 2011

NOA2 - may 2012

Interview - nov 2012

Now we're waiting for the administrative processing to be finished.

Did you already apply for your husband?

My husband's case is also in Ap. I have no idea what the recent wait times are, because there is no method to this madness, but I'm hoping he gets approved in no more than 12 months. My logic is if I keep my expectations low, I won't be disappointed. We'll see how this waiting game plays out.
