Visitor Visa Approved From Dubai But Got Yellow Slip Through Postal With The Passport

[promoters 0]

Hi All,

I had an interview with my wife and son at the dubai consulate on 29th December 2014 and in the interview the VO quite satisfied with us and told us that she is satisfied with us and we will get the visa within 3 business days, She also took our passport for processing and gave us a pink colour slip which stated that your visa application has been approved and you will receive the passport through emirates post within 2 to 5 business days.

Well, After two days I went to EMPost and collect all three passport but I can see visa on my wife and son passport but not on my passport. In my passport there was a yellow slip attached with the case number that they requires some administrative processing and the yellow slip where my case number is does not stated 221G its on the back side paper where 221G mentioned but on that side my case number not mentioned. I mean they didnt mention my case number on 221G page.

How is it possible that they took passport for visa stamping even VO said have a safe journey to USA but after that how it's possible that they issued visa for my dependents like my wife and 5 years old son? and hold my application.. Is there any one in Dubai has same case?

I mean you got a pink paper that stated that your visa has been approved but they put administrative processing on 1 passport only and they issued visa on other passports.. Why is that?

Please get back to me if you can help me in this case.

Thanks
Sohail

Although you applied as a family, each case is treated separately. They have more "concerns" on you hence the administrative processing which may include additional background checking.

Thanks for the answer..

It can be a picture issue? because I uploaded 1 year old picture of mine. Some guy told me that this issue can be the caused of AP.

What do you say?

Sure, it could be a picture issue.

Could be.

Might be.

Should be.

Point is you won't know the reason for the additional administrative processing. You best bet is to remain patient and positive that you'll receive the visa.

Good luck

I don't understand that when the visa officer told me that she's satisfied then how can they hold my application? Is there any chance for rejection? or should I keep good hope?

(Sincerely), and as has been pointed out, it's most likely due to additional "administrative processing".

There's always a chance for a rejection just as there is for an approval.

Yes, easier said than done, but try to be patient and keep a positive attitude. Yes, keep good hope.

Hi Sohail:

I've had also been interviewed in the US Consulate Dubai on Dec. 21, 2014 and almost had a similar issue.

Can you please update your status and if possible share your email id so that we can discuss in more detail.

Kind Regards,

She was satisfied but her boss wasn't so.

The VO is satisfied dose not always mean ticket the United States . That VO interviewing applicants are following just basic scripted laws . They add their recommendation as ''I as a VO approved'' such and such person. The next action in process is the person with higher authority who will say YES or NO!Unfortunately the applicants will never see that one ''higher authority'' angel. In some cases that one higher authority makes a decision and will say YES, grant visa (which is also called AP) this process is normally fast, happens inside the embassy. If that higher authority decided to pass it over to higher - higher authorities in Washington DC then that is call AP too and that is longer process, super lucky applicants get away within 90 days - lucky applicants get away within 180 days - unlucky applicants get away within between 180-360 days and finally AP can last up to 2 years .
