Hi Doodlebug, Yes our case did go to DOS on May 6th and was finished on June 12th and sent back to Cairo. Then my husband received a home visit on August 7th (I believe) and didn't hear anything until he received the call from DHL saying he has a pkt to pick up. Thanks Wael your a great help :):thumbs:

Well in trying to make sense of all this AP craziness it seems that the worst fate is for your case to be stuck in Cairo beacause it will still have to be sent to DOS just months later :crying: My God I don't think this will ever end. Who all has thier case stuck in Cairo having never been sent to DOS.

I know me, doodle and aj1 are all in this boat.....

has anyone else had a delay before there case was sent to DOS?

I need strength, its almost our 4 month ap mark without an end in sight :( I would be so happy if our case were just getting name checks!

I know what you mean wateriswide. :(

I said I was not going to email the consular anymore but I just broke down and wrote another one. It's been two weeks since I got my last response from them so I guess I was more patient than usual.

I asked them if when they stated that Usama will be contacted with a date and time for his appointment, they mean that he'll be getting a second interview and if so, why? I also told them that I know of several cases that had their file sent to DOS immediately following the interview and I wondered why that is not happening in our case. Then I closed it by apologizing for being a pest and told them that we are anxiously waiting for when he can come here since we want to start having children right away.

I'm sure they'll respond by saying:

"Dear Sir,

Your case is still pending Administrative Processing. We will contact you when it is complete"

:wacko::wacko::wacko:

2 weeks ago when Jeanne contacted the DOS .. the lady there told her that some cass are not to be sent to the DOS as all the security checks would be done in Cairo .

and here is 2 simple questions ...

Q- could the security names checks be done in Cairo ?

A- methink YES , why not , the whole thing is only about one button click .

Q- do they really do it in Cairo ?

A- only GOD knows what they are doing or thinking or hiding for us .

one last funny comment ...

as we have heard before that they have a limited amount of visas to be issued every month .. so maybe tomorrow someone will come to hit us with this shocking news and tell us that ( Cairo embassy has a limited amount of cases to send to the DOS every month )

this whole process does make no sense at all

I think the consulate requests the name clearance, security clearance (what you what to call that part of AP/AR) directly with Washington DC - so the case never leaves?

:wacko::wacko::wacko:

Well the good news is this time it only took one business day for them to answer my email.

The bad news is that her is the response to my very personal request:

"Dear Madam:

Thank you for your e-mail message.

The case is pending administrative processing. We will contact you once

that has been completed.

Regards,

Consular staff

ni"

:blink::blink: Okay I am confused, but hopeful. I called DOS today and was told our case is still in Administrative processing. Just for grins I asked if any security checks have been completed through DOS and she said YES!?! That one security check has been completed and right now the processing is in Cairo. :wacko::wacko: So at least we know that security check has been completed, but still waiting for AP............... :angry:
