Approved!!! My husband was approved this morning. He said he has too much paperwork. They didn't take our 2013 tax info and it was easier than he expected! They asked him how we met and when we go

mine did the blood work and x-ray last Friday and has an appt with the doctor tomorrow at 10am. He was hoping the file would be at the embassy so he could swing by tomorrow after the doctor appt. The drive is about 2 hours from his house. He just wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone. Friggin gas is so expensive these days. I don't have to tell you though. :protest:

My esposo has his doctor appt tomorrow at 10:50! Maybe they'll meet each other! :thumbs:

:bonk: My husband called to ask, and evidently the embassy only answers "those types of questions" (about consular stuff I guess) between 9am-11am. He called at 11:10am. They refused to look to see if the file was there.

That's freaking Costa Rica for you... <_<

yea, I kinda thought that would be the case... I read that on the embassy website... but for God's Sake... they can't just verifiy that its there? goodness !! I guess they think a question might be generated once the caller gets confirmation....

My husband shaves his entire head.. tell your husband to look for the " 5ft5in bald guy" in the waiting room !! CUZ you know that waiting is what Costa Ricans do best !! :rofl:

Hi all,

I had my interview in India embassy on 12th June, it went very well but then they put me on AP (without any 221g), just a normal letter was given that your case is under AP. They kept my passport. CO asked me to wait for a minute and then a lady at a different counter ask me to write following information on a paper and said that CO wants this information.

1. Your complete travel history for the last 10-15 years, in chronological order.

2. The full names of any siblings *not* already provided in your initial application.

3. Your residence address history for the last 10-15 years, in chronological order.

4. All prior passport numbers .

5. Current occupation.

Then i was handed over AP letter and $165 fee letter.

From 12th itself the case was having status as 'Ready', 14/15 were Sat and Sun. And today on 16th status changed to 'Administrative Processing' (Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached.)

So should i be happy or not? I have seen that this status means visa is being printed and it will change to Issued in a day or two.

Also, i read that if actual AP is going on CEAC status will be shown as 'READY', is it true?

Also, i went though other online forums and found out that getting same information is sometime common and they need to do some security check which will be cleared soon. Worth mentioning here that i have worked in 3 different countries.

I was keeping track of other cases that were interviewed on the same day in same embassy and were under AP, those case statuses are still being shown as 'READY', its me only whose status has changed to 'AP'. All those who were approved on same day, their status was 'AP' on same day evening (similar to mine :) ) and all those were 'ISSUED' the very next day.

Any thoughts???

Can you provide info around probable cause of such queries? What was so different in your case?

The only reason that I can think of is that the beneficiary has traveled/lived outside of India or the beneficiary and/or petitioner works in a profession that's on the Technology Alert List.

I have a question for anyone currently registered on the USTRAVELDOCS site. My wife is required to register on the site before her upcoming interview at the Moscow embassy, but we have been waiting for her new passport to arrive so she can enter the new passport number. Is it okay to register on the site with one passport number, and then change it to another? Also, after registering, will I be able to look at the Moscow embassy interview schedule and identify other available interview dates? Thanks!
