Administrative Processing? Go to your local Congress!

[tulip07 0]

You ask one question at a time

Ask... Am I in mandatory ap... If they say yes then you know it is fbi checks. If they say just administrative processing you ask is it internal. That means the co is doing the investigation, background check or reviewing documents

well i called DOS today. operator was a lady and she was soooo nice so i asked her about my husband case and she said its n AP and then i asked is it mandatory? she said yes but when i asked her again so its not in internal AP? than she said there r no differences between internal or mandatory because they all are same processes.(dont know why they r keep telling me this)

Well, you asked the first question right.

So you are in Mandatory AP

Next time ask

"Is it Mandatory or at the embassy level?" and see what they say

Ask them are they actively working on his case? (sometimes it is just sitting on a desk waiting for a next step)

Ask them when the last time it had any updates

Good luck

and remember not everyone will answer you or be nice

Hi "together4never13"

first i want to thank you so much for ur help. I really appreciate it

so i called DOS today and found out that my husband's case is still pending/processing AP and its at embassy level. so is that a bad news?? he has a common Muslim name. so do u think maybe that's why its taking long time to finish his AP?

Abdul is one of the names with the longest APs due to the 911 terrorists. One of the leaders was Abdul..One was Waleed.Ahmed..Saeed..Khaled..and MANY others--like 19. So all those names get AP and some take a loooong time.

If it is at the counselor level then it usually means they are doing document verification, possibly home visit investigation and they also can do some light background checking.

Both AP and AR can be short or long. When they say it is under counselor review, many people have said that they get the visa within 1-2 months and sometimes a couple weeks.

Also, you need to know that right now it may be in AR but when that finishes it may go to AP and then back to AR. There is no rhyme or reason.

Some names just take a long time. I hope you are close to done because you have waited so long already but I believe you will need to have alot more patience....I hope I am wrong

What country was he born in? What country are his parents from? Did he travel to many countries?

Also, please tell me you have your congressman involved. It will help your case from sitting without being touched. Everytime thecongressman inquires then they have to locate the file and give an explanation of the wait. It may be the same answer you are getting but at least they will know someone else besides you cares about your case.

Good Luck

well he is originally from Bangladesh. so far he went to Italy, Switzerland, France and on 2009 he went to Bangladesh to meet with his family. Few weeks ago i talked to our state senator office and they told me that his case is under AP now. So there is nothing much they can do but if i don't here anything from the embassy withing 90 days than i can contact with the senator office again. so i guess that wasn't a big help

really don't know what else to do now.

he submitted his passport on Jan 03, 2013 and its been already more than 2 months.

I checked his AP case status and there is no update since March 12, 2013.

what should i do? should i involve another congressmen for his case?

Involve a senator this time (or congressman-whichever you have not used)

Ask them to perform a Senatorial/Congressional Inquiry to assist you in obtaining information about your case. And to forward you the DOS or embassy response.

Give them the basic facts. They do not care about your sob story. They just want to know that you are a registered voter. He is in Administrative Processing and you are unable to obtain information and would appreciate his help.

interview on xxxxx

case number CROxxxxxxxx

your name

beneficiarys name

Give them your email and phone number

and say your help is very much appreciated

Thank you

Members of congress can do absolutely nothing about AP; contacting them about it is pointless.

[together4evr 360]

Thank you again for your help

I faxed the information today. so hopefully soon i will hear something.

one question for you

they updated his case status 2 times this week. is that a good sign??

[together4evr 360]

You will see a date changed everytime you call or they answer emails or congress inquiry. But if you see it status changing rapidly then its a great sign
