Administrative Processing in El Salvador

[Samberb0408 1]

I forgot to add.

What legally required administrative processing means?

I'm afraid is the long term ap...it seems they are investigating with Washington about your hubby's identity. A lot of the times it has to do with common names, ages and time frames.....I don't want you to get upset but I believe that's what is about. If it would be about processing paperwork that was required they would have mentioned it. Geeesssshhhhh I agree the country needs to do background checks before not after. That way it would give us a better timeframe. Was your hubby told about ap at the interview? I will keep my fingers crossed for you guys and everyone in this chat. It can happen to anyone.

Well, let's hope this so called "long term AP" doesn't take a very long. It's not like El Salvador is a high risk country. I mean, aren't the US and ES allies? That day at the interview, my husband wasn't asked tons of questions. The only question CO gave him is if he had a common child with me. He said yes and CO asked if he brought his birth certificate. He said he didn't have it but he brought the temporary version and CO accepted it. CO said everything looks good but he wanted the 1040 tax document of the year 2012 from our joint sponsor. He said that when he sends out this paper, his visa is approved. He was never told he is going to put on administrative processing. My husband never had serious trouble. He never has been to the USA. He is not part of the gang. He is a normal man who only wishes to have a life in the US with me and our son. My husband is nothing in El Salvador. He hates the situation he lives in. This country is so poor and dangerous and well, what else can't I say? I have lived there and it's not easy to live in this country. Wish me luck and let's hope things turns out great for all of us.

Yes let's hope all gets approved for us all...I'm getting upset looking at how the system is running things. It is my country and I love it will all my heart but the u.s. has to get the ball rolling. We have all been separated for a very long time. With gods help its lla possible. We just have to be patient. God has it worked out for us.

I just had a thought... when I look up our case number- 2 searches appear

SNSXXXXXXXXXX 01 (Administrative Processing- updated August 19th)

SNSXXXXXXXXXX 02 (Ready: for interview at embassy- updated August 20th)

Since I am applying for my fiancé and his daughter- do you think one of these numbers is his visa and one is hers? Does anyone else have experience with applying for 2 people on the same visa? Could this mean that one is ready, and we are only waiting on the other? But, it's weird because they already had the interview on Aug. 14th... When I called DOS- they just say that we are in administrative processing...

BUT- the Ready status says that they are ready for to set up the interview, and they already had the interview... I think that is what's confusing me:

Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3731.html

Are there more than one status for READY? thanks guys!

I dont think they need to interview anymore they just havent changed her status to AP because she is not in AP and they cant change it to issue either until hes done with AP so they have just left it with ready

I sure hope so, because that would mean that they are not questioning his custody of her... that is encouraging

If he has prove that he has custody of her it should be fine

Mabel,

I believe your case with your fiancé and his daughter is AP, even if one says Ready.
