Waiting Forever AP

[SaedyWife 1]

Hello guys..

I am new here but kind of lurking for months. I have been in Administrative Processing for just over 120 days. My husband is Egyptian living in Saudi. How long has it taken others for this process from Egypt or from the Saudi Consulate for spousal visa?? I am super P.O'd about this whole process....

My husband was on AP for exactly 8 months ....The time for it is not predicable Just pray and keep busy. AP has no time can be weeks, days or months sometimes longer than that.

My husband's AP is also still going on and no end in sight. Its been 1 year and 10 months so 20 months so far. When posters mention feeling lost and frustrated, we are the first to relate i hope this is over soon enough for all of our sakes.

Oh my god .. for 20 months now .. had you emailed the embasdy ? Had you contacted your congressman or the senator ? Where is your husband from ?

20 months is outrageous, what have you done so far? call the congressman...

one year + 10 months= 22 months

one year + 10 months= 22 months

Whoops, momolicious, right on-I meant 20 months-so 1 year and 8 months from March 2012 interview

Yes outrageous doesnt even begin to describe it- we have done everything allowed in our power to do- I have contacted my senator and congressman-back then we resided in PA- I described the process and delay in detail to senator's legal team along with my signed permission for info release-resulted in no difference as far as I noticed. They were informed by the Embassy the same info we've been fed all along-that my husband's petition is still in AP and the Embassy cannot estimate when AP will be over. My congressman never responded. Im in contact with the Embassy here in Cotonou every 2-3 weeks just to remind them we still live here away from the comforts of the US and that we're still waiting on news of progress on his visa. They continue to tell me that everything is so far in line for his visa pending the end of AP and they still don't know when that will be. All that they will tell me is that they have requested some type of information from the US and still haven't received what they need. I also call the state dept number every couple of weeks to say if they have the same info as the Embassy and if they can see any updates-they say the same as the Embassy of course. My husband is originally Lebanese and left Lebanon when he was about 17 and came to work in Cotonou, Benin and has been here for about 13 years. He has come and gone on a business visa to the US many times before we met in the states and got married 3 years ago. Although his travels might take time for the Embassy to line up and investigate along with other records, I think 20 months and counting is absolutely nuts. So far there's no end in sight.
