administrative processing for my fiance in Kabul

[Desertrose9 7]

Hi guys,

yesterday my lawyer burdened me with.  Most saddest and quite bizarre news so get this straight I applied in NYC for my fiancé visa in August 2016 (hes in kabul) and we finally got his petition approved Feb 27 2016

but my lawyer made a mistake and misled us that his interview was this April 27th  so I found a sponsor I got all the paper work ready and sent to DHL in kabul then the next day my lawyer calls me and tells me wait a minute hes on an administrative processing hold so he canceled my fiances medican exam whcih was shpposed to be next week. I just dont understand how i wasnt informed sooner and accurately about his pending status.i had no clue about the admin processing i had im mind that everything was going smoothly and his interview would be in 3 weeks! My lawyer said therr wasnt a name on the interview date and mixed up someone elses case? Its his job to make sure and confirm my fiances interview? I mean this is very important how could he have missed that? My fiance has The cleanest background and works for Gardaworld a very well known security base of America in Kabul, so i dont understand why he's on admin processing about how long do you think the embassy will give him an interview date?

this is all very frustarting any advice id much appreciated 

thank you

Usually Administrative Processing takes place after the interview, but considering that you are going through the embassy in Afghanistan, what I imagine is a higher fraud risk country, I wonder if interviews are temporarily on hold or something. I think that is very unlikely though. 

 

Is there any way that you or your fiancé can contact the embassy and ask for an interview date? Lawyers can be helpful, but sometimes they do make mistakes or even prolong the process.

I would email the embassy directly to see if they can explain to you what is going on.  Did you check your case status on www.uscis.gov?  Wishing you a speedy resolution!

Thank you both! Exactly what inwas thinking why he would be on administrative processing before the interview i just told my fiance to see if he can contact the embassy 🙏🏼😞hopefully

Why don't you check your case status on us is website withyour case number. All the information is there 

[Desertrose9 7]

Hey i already did and called USCIS they said my petition was already approved so my fiance has to contact the US EMBASSY in Afghanistan 

[Blondie26 43]

Do you have  your case number from NVC?  Be sure if your case been sent from NVC to the embassy in your fiance embassy then you will book your medical appointment 

[Desertrose9 7]

Yes i do and the email sent to my lawyer from nvc specifically says:

 

my lawyer already canceled the medical exam he was the one requesting it in the first place because the medical embassy assumes you already have an interview and prior to that must undergo medical examinations..

[Blondie26 43]

Do not panic. All is going to be alright. It's just administrative process by because of your fiance country. It must be a normal procedure. I wish you  Good luck with your process

Hey..

  My Fiancé got interviewed at the US Embassy in Kabul on February 2017. He is still in Administrative processing😢 I can't take it anymore! After his interview they kept his passport and documents but gave him a yellow card for medical documents and AP (221g refusal). The Consular officer emailed me to do an interview over the phone regarding my Fiancé.  She said we would hear back in 2-3 weeks. It's been over 6 weeks and heard nothing.  Just shows administrative processing.  I'm afraid he will be denied😢

AP usually comes after the Interview.

[Desertrose9 7]

Oh thank goodness you guys! I have great news im truly blessed and knew all my patience would be worth it in the end! My fiance is no longer in AP! They did a thorough background checked in less month and now his case is in transit and NVC will contact us soon.. for an interview. I kenw this would def be a positive for us becauae as ive been researching many AP occur after the interview and we are very lucky its before it because there wouldnt be a need for further investigation; hence he'd be good to go! 🙏🏼
