Hello, 

 

I feel you; I have been somehow depressed for a year now :( we have been on AP for 10 months and counting! It is very difficult to go through the uncertainty we live in now! We live with the hope that this situation changes in the near future! I have been telling myself and my wife this story for more than a year! 

 

Stay strong and hopefully something miraculous happens!

You know, the part that sucks the most is the uncertainty. If they just said - AP will take 1.5 yrs - I'd be OK with it. I would be sad, but it would be bearable. Today, if you are a green card holder, you have to wait a bit longer than if you were a USC to get your spouse here. If you endup in Nebraska instead of Vermont for I-130, it takes longer. Just luck. Life give you lemons you make lemonade. But the problem with this lunacy is that it is a freaking blackhole. I just wish AP was allocated a well defined, reasonable, time frame like every other step in the process. I am all for National security - but it has to be fair. I wish Senator Chris Van Hollen could request the DOS to get this data out like he has with a lot of other data.

The other part that is absolutely insane is that they have banned IR's but F1s are fine. I suspect the universities have a strong lobby that stood to lose a lot of money from the F1 piggy bank and it got an exception added.  So If I were an international student on an F1, my iranian spouse would have been here in no time. But as a US citizen, I have to wait until god knows how long. Is it some how possible to easily vet F2 spouses but not USC spouses? I dont know why the lawsuits are not focusing on this aspect. If the DOS can vet spouses of F1 students without AP, why not spouses of USC's? 99% of the american public does not care. They dont even know this part. I wish media covered this angle more to expose how stupid this whole drama is. So much pain for no discernible benefit.

My application now is at the NVC . I submitted all the required documents online . How long does it take to process ?  And I know I asked about this before . But have anyone prepared the travel ban waiver by himself? How is it look like? Plz any info any advice . Thanks

If all docs you sent are correct, it should not take more than 5-6 weeks to send them to the embassy. 

 

The waiver application is somehow non-existent; You just need to proof that there is undue hardship, national interest, and that the applicant is not a threat. For example, you may mention it in a letter if you had visited the US before; any medical conditions that might help expedite the process, etc...

Some embassies are not even accepting any waiver applications ahead of time. So you might go to the interview with a letter ready in hand to be added to the file. 

 

Good luck and keep up posted

Anyone following the emami v. Neilsen case??

There was a proposed order and stipulation posted today in court records that i was unable to access. I really like to get a copy if this or understand what this means if.anyone has info

I read it. Its a proposed order, so the judge has not yet ruled. They talk about the future course of action, and its well into 2020. Court cases like this one take a long time. A really long time. I would be very surprised if anything concrete came out of this lawsuit in 2019. But I could be wrong. Anyone with access to pacer can read these btw. I think its like 6 pages so 60 cents.

My brother-in-law just had is interview on 4/16/2019 in Yerevan Armenia. He is a Iranian National under F2A (child of LPR). After his interview the consular gave him a form indicating that he is being considered for a waiver. However, as of 4/18/2019 NVC Case Status check (https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx) shows up as "REFUSED". Anyone in the same situation? I would think it should say "Administrative Processing"
