Administrative Processing

[CubaAndChill 389]

I know there's been a lot of questions and I've tried to find someone with the same situation as me, but alas... No dice.

 

Fiance had his interview Monday in Buenos Aires. He's Cuban, living in BS AS. Officer asked him and spent more time on the Cuban political climate than on our relationship and then told him that the process has to continue, gave him the white paper stating he's in AP. They kept his passport and all the original documents he gave and the officer stated they'll be returned with the passport and that it'll take 2 - 4 weeks for a decision (?). I've been checking the ceac website and the case last updated date updates every day but we're still in AP.

 

I understand they have to do some extra checks and things, but does this look promising? I know it's usually good that they kept the passport but I'm kind of iffy and worried.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds relatively straight forward AP.

 

If they didn't ask for anything else, kept passport abd stuff, all can do now is wait really. AP can take a long as they need it to so can't say how long it could take, just have to try to be patient at this point while they finish their checks.

I agree with above......they kept his passport = good sign...

Thank you! I had a feeling it was just normal AP but he's kind of freaking out because of all the Cuban political climate questions they asked him and they didn't give him a final decision right there and then. I just told him things are really touchy between the US & Cuba and not to worry but just wanted some reassurance from the VJ experts lol.

Hi,

May I ask if you have heard anything back yet? If so, how'd it go? My fiance is in Cuba as well and is also worried about current political climate.

 

Thanks!

Hi! Wondering how long after your visa was issued or your status changed from AP? We're in the same situation in Brazil 😕

They've collected and returned my fiances passport twice. We've been AP since December 30.
