Hello all,

I have a quick question. My husband went for his interview last Tuesday (07/22) at the US Embassy in Cairo. All of this past week it has shown "Ready". When by chance tonight I checked the ceac.state.gov website, it shows "Administrative Processing". Our case is an EXPEDITE, so please keep this in mind when replying.

Any and all opinions welcome. Thank you in advance

AP is common with men coming from Egypt. Sorry, but what is the reason for your expedite?

good luck

PS - and I'm pretty sure you cannot expedite AP - but someone will correct me if I am wrong

I don't believe you can expedite through AP.

I have read on visa journey that after it shows ready then it shows AP then finally it shows issued for all petitions but how long yours is gonna take AP to issued is what i don't know but i hope and pray for you that your visa will be issued as soon as possibl. Be positive, you are almost there.

You got to the interview faster than normal. Name checks and such take a certain amount of time and you can't be issued a visa until these are done. IF you are lucky and have no name hits then it may go quickly . If you have a strong hit then it could take considerable time.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

As consul approved your husband at interview, mostly visa will be issued soon, it's normal to see "AP" message before "ISSUED". Be patient and don't worry. If it takes long, contact the embassy.

Remember and you can do read that on internet that the data base system of the deparment of state has crashed around the world , this problem affects all the issuance of visas around the world.

They started to work on friday 25 but no in all their capacity, that mean that they are having delay in the issuance of visas.

If the deparment of state doesnt issue the visas the consulate cant print them.

All the visas around the world are issue by the deparment of state and they do a security check of each applicants. And figure the the system crashed.

In onky one country this problem has affected 50, 0000 visas.

So be patient and hope that when the start to work in all capacity they issue your visa soon

But take in count that ap can take some months somettines.
