When I'm bored at my store, I day dream of selling my business, my house and assets and moving to my bride's country and start our new life there. The equity I have in my house would be enough to live well there. I'm originally Libyan (US Naturalized in 1992), and it's bad enough my family can't get visitor visas just to visit. But now it's been 16 months since I originally petitioned for my fiancee's K1 and still we wait with no answer.. So that's my life for now.

Pretty much similar story for most of us

I got another standard reply from my Senator's office today.

I hope you are doing well and having a good week so far. I have received an update from the Department of State and the U.S. Embassy in Casablanca, regarding your pending visa application, filed on behalf of YOUR SUPER AWESOME FINACEE.

 

The details, as provided to us by the agency, are included in the email to our office, below. The administrative processing is an extensive congressionally mandated process that cannot be waived and is a requirement.

 

It is a stage that takes time. It requires the case to pass through several different agency checks. It does not remain with the Department of State for duration of the review, but goes to other federal agencies so that they may complete their screening process as well. For that reason, administrative processing can take a while to see itself through. I know this has been incredibly frustrating. But, it is hard to say how much time this could take.

 

I do regret that this response was not more substantive, but trust that the information was helpful.

 

Please do feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. I will do my best to assist you.

 

Have a good rest of your day,

 

  

Northwestern Regional Director

Immigration Casework Coordinator

Office of U. S. Senator Tim Kaine

I have heard not to contact the senator/congressman as it can further delay the process. Today marks 3 months since my interview, completely cluesless and helpless.

Hey Guys,

 

I've submitted my interview on 4 April for a training purpose on 16 June.

They told me to send an email to the embassy and request the DS 5535 form so I did and send it back on 10 April.

I didn't hear back from the embassy, so I sent an email on 7 May for and update and they replied that the process may take 60 days or less and maybe more.

The question is that the training starts on 16 June and really don't need to miss it.

Do I email the embassy one more time or wait for their call or email?

 

Thanks all and appreciate your help.

What embassy and what kind of visa you interviewed from? 

[tiyyo 68]

With sadness I have to report that we had to email the embassy and ask for them to send my husband's passport back to him. We are now close to 4 months of AP and still no end in sight. 

My husband needs his passport to travel for his work and this delay has been a real hardship on the both of us financially. I just hope and pray they will hurry up and issue the visa so we can get on with our lives instead of living on 2 separate continents

I've heard the opposite. Our immigration lawyer even recommended it.

Oh ok. My husband is the petitioner and his lawyer said not to contact the senator and just wait. Even we are getting very much frustrated at this time. Every day i wish to hear any good news.
