Still no visa

[Pam&Mbaye 0]

Still no Visa and I am tired of this whole process. I guess I still haven't been able to make sense of how the Embassy can keep my husband's passport and tell him his visa should be ready in two weeks and now we are going on the eighth week and still no visa and the embassy says it is still going through administrative processing with no 221g issued, and to make matters worse US state department has him listed as a "no show" for his interview with no notes listed in the database by the embassy in Saudi. Absolutely amazing how this is acceptable treatment.

Just me venting I suppose.

I can understand how frustrated you must be.

I would definitely call and find out what's happening, being as they have your husband's passport and they've had it for 8 weeks.

Good luck.

I've called and my husband has called the embassy and they have told us both that they will contact us when they are ready to issue the visa, until then they said they don't know how long it will take. This is so frustrating to me because they still have his passport and he is a foreign national in SA...and get this...because he has not returned his passport to his employer they have frozen his salary and will continueto do so until he returns the passport. Should he return his passport to his employer they will not give it back to him, and also keep in mind that if he goes to the embassy to get his visa they will want it back as soon as possible. One other thing I forgot to mention, the embassy is fully aware that his salary has been frozen. So as you can see this is a HUGE mess. He can't continue to do without a salary indefinitely and should they not call him in shortly to pick up his visa he will have no other choice but to ask for his visa and then everything will stop prematurely. I've contacted my congressman and he is looking into the matter but I don't know if that will help or not.

Sorry to hear that. I know, it is frustrating. But Embassy never gives one a timeline for AP completion. So you both need to be patient. They will call your husband as soon as the AP is complete to pick up his visa.

They shouldn't be able to do that. I hope your congressman can do something about it. This process is VERY frustrating and I've only just started.
