Wife's visa in administrative processing 7 months!

[Sandymuzzkinz 0]

Hey guys I finally made an account because I had to share my frustration with someone who may understand. My wife had her visa interview in Islamabad in dec 2012 and it was placed in administrative processing, even though I had visited her during that time to ensure everything goes well. I had married her in 2011 and came back to the us for school and applied for her right away. Anyways, during her interview they called me and told me it'll be 3 to 5 months and that he had no doubt she would get her visa. It's been 7 months, and nothing. My wife is getting more frustrated by the day, and I can't go live with her because I work here and have college loans to pay off. And obviously she's a wife, so she doesn't understand that. Help me guys!! Make me feel better :'(

I don't think I can make you feel better, only you can do that. There are plenty of resources available here to help you take action.

As for a wife not understanding - anyone who takes this journey has to understand that it is hard. Women are quite capable of understanding...I found that simply being transparent and honest with my wife about things works.

Good luck!

Did she get a letter when she went to the interview saying they was putting her in AP?

[NikLR 13,227]

Was there a reason for the AP or is it just general AP?

There is a thread, several actually, in the Administrative Processing forum, that could probably help or at the very least offer support.

I"m sorry you guys can't be together. I know it's very hard. I can't imagine how hard it must be with you can't do anything to fix it, nor know what's wrong. Best wishes for you both. Stay positive!

That's one long AP

I,hope you both get together soon

Don't lose hope

Do u have any reason in mind? Why she got it. ?

The only reason of being put on AP is security checks if your relationship is genuine in all ways. In your case , you don't seem to have a big age difference or some other weird thing that looks odd in pakistani/US culture.

This is the case for us too. Our case is very simple and normal in all ways. but still we are going through Administrative processing. It is all because of bad things criminals and terrorists have done in Pakistan.

what do you mean by " And obviously she's a wife, so she doesn't understand that"?

Pretty offensive if you ask me...

[Sandymuzzkinz 0]

By that I meant that wives sometimes have a "idc make it happen" kinda reaction sometimes which is natural as part of their emotions, that's what I meant by she doesn't understand. But in reality she's the most understanding person I know, I think the reason it's in AP is because we didn't consummate to marriage because they asked her if we lived together and then called me during her interview to ask the same question and we both said no so that removed a lot of doubts about dishonesty.

[Darnell 8,478]

so, the marriage wasn't consummated before the I-130 was filed?

IMO, that's the major reason it's in AP.

I got married which is the offical NIKAH but we did not consumate the marriage. but right after somtime iwent to my wife and we lived together and consumated the marriage waay before the interview. I got sick or else i would have gone to the interview with her. But they still put her in AP. they said they need to do some verification

I kinow alot of ppl have to wait a long time but I have a feeling it will end quick.
