Home visit from Embassy

[Ahmed&Roma 6]

Hi everyone this is just all confusing. Our story on July 6,2017 my husband had his interview in Cairo, Egypt the interview went okay but they didn't keep my husband's passport. On August 22,2017 two men from the Embassy went to my husband's home and asked him the same questions that were asked at the first interview. My husband was married before. They first went to his ex wife's home and they talked to her brother. Well when they got to my husband's home they asked him questions they were recording him. They told my husband that they talked to his ex wife's brother but told my husband with a smile that they were not going to tell him what he said.Well after they talked to my husband one of the men said that the case is going as it should and said that the Embassy would call him in 2 weeks it's been 4 weeks now and no phone call. Our last update on the website to check status was on August 30th and it still says Administrative Processing. Has anyone ever been through this. Please share your story thoughts of what this all means. I thought this was all good news but still waiting for any answers from Embassy to see if my husband gets his visa.

Yes, I have read others posting about home visits.  It means they were suspicious about a bonafide relationship and wanted to verify that your husband was truly divorced from his ex-wife and not still living together.  As long as everything checked out  good, it should result in an approval.  AP can take weeks, months, even years sometimes.  If you have a way (email or phone) to contact the embassy and inquire you can do so.  But in the end you just have to wait, try to be patient, and let them finish their processing.

Hi, Thank you for replying. I have emailed the Embassy twice already. I get the same email that case is going through administrative processing and every time I send an email the date changes on the website so nothing changes but a date only. I just thought, by them going to my husband's home and they found that my husband was telling the truth it would speed up the process of his visa and he would get approved. But I guess it wasn't the case. We still have to wait.

I actually know a couple that had visits from immigration officers here in United states, They come out of  nowhere and talk to you, look if you have any pictures on walls together. Basically if you are really living together. Hopefully you guys hear something soon and good out of that. 

If they come to my house right now or in the future. I would gladly welcome them with a big smile. I have pictures of me and my husband every where in my home . We have nothing to hide from them, we just want to live a peaceful, loving life together. Yes hopefully we will hear something very soon. I can't wait, I want that exciting moment to hear he is approved. It means so much to me. Thank you for replying.😊

I'm not so sure you would be (honestly) smiling while they're there...they always come at the least expected times on purpose.

They could come over anytime, day or night. It wouldn't bother me at all.😊

We got another date updated September 19 but I wonder if it updates because I sent them an email and they read it. Does anyone know if it updated because of this? Or if the date automatically changes when they open file?

It automatically changed when they open the file.

Hello,

 

I was told by the embassy support agent that the date update ONLY when someone enter notes or doing something with the case. I even mentioned maybe when I contact them or when they respond and she said no.
