I had my interview in the past 5th of August in the US embassy in Cairo , was kind of stressful and ended up by that the CO gave me paper of G221 requesting the visa entries in my wife's passport and thats all what he asked for so I sent that the next day to him in coloured two perfect copies one of them is USA notarised , the last words he told me in the interview was , your papers are fine but I need the copies of entry visa's in your wife's passport to believe your story , You can send these by Aramex no need to come back and we will contact you , we need those papers for your visa to be processed otherwise if we did not get those papers it will not be processing ........... they are in his hands and he reviewed them and they need no more papers from me according to what the senator representative told us in her inquiry to the embassy about me but they said one query word mentioned in their reply to the senator representative that they are doing more check on me !!!!!!!! that is kind of against what he told me that all what he needs from me are those papers I sent him by Aramex , so anybody has a clue how long the administrative processing (as my status online say) will take in my case , and what other check he needs after he made sure that absolutely every word I told him in the interview is true and proven by papers !!!!!!!! and anybody have a clue if the mandamus lawsuit will be beneficial in my case if the senator representative applied it to my case through her office !!!!!!

Thanks

A (writ of) mandamus is an order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the government official to properly fulfill their official duties or correct an abuse of discretion

not sure how this could help you / it is usually an order by a higher court ot overturn the decision of a lower court or offical to do their job

it takes time for any court in the US to get a case to trial and make a desision

Senator can only ask homeland security to look into your matter

AP can take a month or a year

They can tell you what they want to get you out of their office......good business practice? No. They aren't a business though and are used to people pestering them to no end on whether something is approved or not, so they say what people want to hear just to get them out.

Some people are in AP for years.....

If thats all what he wanted to do by telling me that only to make me get out of his office peacefully !!!!! so why he took my passport and all my civil documents that I should be having in case of any desire to travel somewhere else !! If that administrative process may take months or year as you say how can anybody manage without his civil documents that long !!!! It does not make sense to me what he did in the time he could simply tell me I am completely rejected and your papers will be back to the DOS !!!! I really do not have a clue what they are doing and under what protocols they run that process of visa issuance !!!!! and I hope the senator can help in such matter because it is seriously dragging now in a silly way :(
