When will I get my Visa??!!

[anitacastillo 0]

How do you know when the security processing is done? Has the State Dept told you? And now the consulate is dragging their feet?

We are 2 months since a good K-1 interview and entered AP hell. Visa specialist says he is "pending security clearance".

Whole process sucks!!!

I got the same EXACT email!

and just like i thought... this was my response to my email to the Embassy

"Dear Madam,

Thank you for your email message.

The case is currently pending the necessary administrative processing. The time frame required to process and review individual cases is difficult to predict. Once the process is completed, we will process the case to conclusion.

I believe she called the Dept of State and they informed her that security checks are done. Now it's just administrative processing which who the heck knows how long that takes. I think I remember saying they meet like once or twice a month though....not sure if anyone ever found out the dates.

Wow! They are still sending that copy of a letter out eh? Gosh girls, I'm so sorry Cairo still has their thumbs up their backsides. I remember when Khallid was told he'd have his visa in 6 weeks! As much as I know you girls probably don't want to hear this....don't believe anything till you see that letter "Visa has been processed to conclusion and he should have his visa within 10 working days." Or better yet....beleive it when your husbands call and has it in their hands! We got to deal with checks being done, receiving the email saying visa would be processed to conclusion only to be put back on a different check again. I had my hopes up many, many times, only to get slammed down. I would hate anyone to have to deal with all the emotional B.S I went through. Stay strong for each other because this time is VERY trying on a relationship. Each of you all are in my prayers.

Thanks Amy! That's what we all need right now is prayer! I have never had to go through anything so emotionally draining before in my life. A/P is definetely the hardest part of this process. Everyday that goes by feels like an eternity. I do things to keep myself busy but no matter what you do the time passing is difficult to deal with!! I hope we all get through this nightmare soon.

The nightmare will eventually end. Now Khallid and I talk about the 6 months on AR/AP and those 6 months are just a memory. There is light at the end of that tunnel gals!

I know he'd be more than happy to send him an email if you like. My husband was talking to a fellow VJ'rs husband while we were waiting. This helped him out a lot. Just knowing someone that went through the same thing. Shoot me a PM if ya like and we can discuss.
