Administrative Processing Depression

[Easha2272 3]

Hi,

Reading all the replies has made me more nervous than ever. Okay, my husbands visa interview was initially scheduled for August 2nd 2015 but they said due to technical difficulties they sent him home. Later he was scheduled for 28th of September. After the interview the consulate stated "all his docs are good" and that he should recieve his visa within a few weeks. Later i found the ceac website and checked his visa status which stated administrative processing. Its going to be 60 days soon and i have emailed them already asking why he wasnt notified and how long itd take. I get the same message every time "be patiece ..its under going additional administrative processing" i am so stressed out at this point. Its been already 2yrs+ of our marriage and as a newly wed its hard to remain stable when your spouse is on the other side of the world. Another point is, we are from Bangladesh. Recently there has been a n alert for all US Citizens traveling to Bangladesh. Its been advised not to and the alert is active from 28 of Sept to Feb 2. Could this be another factor playing in his AP? Im currently in bangladesh because i was hoping to go back together but would it be more wise to go back instead of sitting here waiting? Please shed some light! Thank you

Unfortunately there is no timeframe for AP; it simply takes as long as it takes.

Hi there:

I understand perfectly how are you feeling and I'm so sorry you are on this black hole of administrative processing. My husband had his interview at Montreal May 21/ 2015 and our case has been on AP since then! 6 Months!! He's a Canadian Citizen but was born in Cuba. the consular officer said "Everything looks fine just wait 2 or 3 weeks" they never requested an additional document or anything else. Everytime i write to the consulate i get the same reply, (still under AP, you need to wait) My congressman have sent them 2 inquiries and get same answer " We need to wait"....

So after 6 months of waiting and struggles with all kind of situations... I understand your depression because i'm feeling the same way! However you need to stay positive and strong, try to talk to your husband as much as you can using Skype or Facetime or any other application so you can see each other at least and stay in touch. (better than just voice calls) it's not a solution but is a great help.

all the best!! :-)

Im so sorry to hear about your situation. Its so unjust what they do, they just shive our files to the end of some list and get to it whenever they like. They dont get these are lives put on hold. So frustrating. Pra, its all we can do now.
