Good morning Everyone!!!

 

I hope this is good news for my husband's case.  So on last week I noticed an update on his visa but it never changed from Ready.  This morning I logged in and there was an update made from yesterday.  I am assuming it is a response to my email I sent on yesterday asking what was the updates made on my husband's visa.  It currently says "Administrative Processing."   The body of the status on CEAC says

"Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days."

 

My take away is that the bolded part applies to me and that my husband should be getting his visa in two business days.  What are your thoughts?  @dwheels76 I think you are the most knowledgeable of this. 

 

Thanks,

Solitaire

Well for you this is not normal AP since your interview was over 1 month ago. They might have gotten and update, new information name search and they have to check deeper .

 

Everyone after interview goes into AP but it's never more then 2 to 5 days for normal processing. Since you said you were approved this seems odd. I have know of a few cases they were told at interview they were approved and then things changed and AP and well not good.

 

Praying for the best in your case.

No no don;t worry. It's good didn't mean to scare you. I am sure it was like you said "Dang we need get off our butts". Especially on an approved case were they saving it for a souvenir goodness.

 

I promise good news is forthcoming.

Thanks so much!!!!  You know I am a bit emotional, I was about to cry.  I just started binge eating a whole bunch of ginger chews trying to not think about it.  Girl you know at almost six weeks I don't want/need any stress.  I still got 34 weeks give or take to go.

I was just meaning all the different investigations that can take place. name search as in checking the data case for bad people if your name hits as someone who's in the data base it has to be researched further to make sure you aren't that bad person.

 

Yes approved can mean a visa but CO's have changed their minds. A supervisor has overruled them, some information comes in that nullifies your visa.

 

You aren't approved until  really you land in US and processed and stamp. There have been people with Visa's turned away and sent back because of things found after interview

oh wow that is interesting!!! Now that you said that, I think I may be the reason why my husband's case is taking a little longer.  I work for the Government and I require a high level security clearance.  Although he is already on the clearance information, they probably had to do their further research!!

No for Petitioner background checks are done at USCIS. They just slow slow there. It's Jamaica laid back. But they taking this to a whole new level. LOL

Girl, girl!! I cry at a dog movie, so anything can make me cry at this point.  Don't remind me girl, this is a first for the both of us and I don't know how I am going to make it through the summer if I can barely manage in the cold now.

I definitely believe that!! I spoke to the receptionist yesterday and she was pretty much saying, why are you calling me.  I wanted to jump through that phone because I am like you are useless, even if you cannot/will not answer me, you can still pretend by saying something more pleasant.

Does anyone know if they finished scheduling for Senegal?  Senegal consulate advised they still have spots open and just waiting for NVC to schedule.
