I'm so frustrated with this process. My fiancé is still in Administrative Processing. He successfully passed his interview back in November and until now he does not have his passport or visa. This is completely rediculous and unfair :protest: . I don't understand on the basis of what is he put in administrative processing ... being Arab and muslim ?! My fiancé is a simple guy that just likes football and going to the sea and has never been in any trouble... why the :ranting: are their stupid investigations taking so long!

Also without his passport he can't even travel to see me :crying: .

I'm sorry to hear this, that's very unfair :( I hope he'll get his visa soon!!

I have read before it took around 2 weeks.

Thanks for your reply :) I've read that somewhere too however I've also read it's supposed to be up "immediately". Just waiting for that info to be up on the website so we can apply for my SSN.

Yea we also need it for the marriage license in this state. And obviously it's recommended to take care of prior to applying for the AOS. So we're just waiting for this to come through so we can keep the process going :)

Congratulations!! :) My return flight was yesterday, didn't cancel it either. Weird it would put you on the list as having travelled back when it's obvious you didn't board the plane lol.

Here's the website: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/consent.html

How did you get your SSN if you didn't even know if your travel history was visible yet? :)
