I was put on AR last April 17 becuase of my BC but the good thing was they let me pay the deblos although they did not inform me that I was approve or not. My fiance always called to check our case and they always gave us a response that we must wait for 4-6 weeks and it is almost in a 4th week of waiting so my fiance called the embassy this morning again to checked our case AGAIN. The woman he spoke to said that they did receive the paper work back on May the 4th, but that now the consular who gave the interview must review the paper work. She said that can be 2 weeks to 2 months, depending on how much work the consular officer has to do. BUT, she said that there are four boxes ahead of our and it is possible for a consular to finish one box a day. So technically it could be 4 or 5 days before it is reviewed.

I would like to know who had been in this situations.

Hello Chue,

It's a good sign that the Embassy received the doc they needed. Maybe end of this week they will release your visa. Good Luck! Pray more.

Hi, BgnElf

Stay positive and by all means call the Department of State in Washington DC.

Everything that happens at the embassy level is updated to the DOS computer data base.

I call them every day first thing in the morning. 202-663-1541 Press 0 to talk to a Visa specialist.

From my point of view... NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS...meaning if they have not called you and ask for more info ect... let them do their job, but call DOS instead of the embassy. Ask the DOS what date your petition was last updated...that way you will know that they are actively working on your case.
