Help!

My fiancé, who is a Yemeni national had his interview on the 20th of March in Cairo Egypt. We were told that he has to wait the 6-10 months for administrative processing. We given the supplemental questions form and sent it back to the embassy. Because my fiancé was told that we have to wait and additional 6-10 months before his visa can get mailed the interviewer did not take his passport at the time of the interview. But a few days ago my fiancé got a call from the embassy. The lady said that his process is moving along and asked him to mail his passport to the embassy. She did not give him a timeline of when the visa will be mailed. We mailed it that same day. Has anyone experienced that before? Since the embassy requested that we mail in his passport does that mean that we are no longer under administrative processing? And when can we roughly expect the visa to be mailed? Thanks so much in advance!

Can't say for sure but it looks to me as your case is nearing it's conclusion with the recent request for the passport.  It maybe another week or two but that's a guess. Check your status at ceac.state.gov use immigrant with case number. If you get unable to find the record try using non-immigrant.  Good luck.

Hi Greenbaum,

Thank you so much for your quick reply! So, I just logged in to check the status of our case and it still says administrative prossesing. I guess since the embassy didn’t hold on to his passport at the time of the interview I was under the assumption that they wouldn’t request it be mailed until the A/P was over and we were cleared for him be mailed the visa. Now I’m more confused 😖 would you think it’s a good idea for me to call the embassy and ask them what the situation is as far as timeline? Thank you again!

The Visa can go in and out of AP numerous times without you knowing.  Do yourself a favor and sit back and let the process work.  The fact they asked for the passport is huge! Relax. Your over reacting. JMHO
