Hey to Everyone!!!

Has anyone ever been denied or know anyone denied after AR/AP was completed?? If so what were the reasons?? We have been in AP since 11/30/05, and we can not get any info from the consulate, and DOS says consulate is not updating anything with them so they have no news.

Some days Im so closed to "losing it" from all the stress of not knowing. And sometimes I forget others are in the same boat as we are, some who's wait has been longer than ours. So I appreciate everyone here and pray that all have successful endings.

Thanks !

If you have aready had the interview at the consulate and are now in Administrative review. The petitioner should be able to call the Dept of State in the US to at least get a status.

Department of State Visa office: 202-647-7948

Good Luck. Marilyn and Peter.

K-1 Timeline in Profile (our story)

Church wedding Sept 18

NOA1's for AOS/EAD received Sept 20 MSC #

Biometrics completed Nov 5 2004

EAD Approval Dec 29 2004

AOS appointment letter received Feb 3 2005

AOS interview scheduled for March 9 2005

AOS interview mostly fine, just need I-693 supplement filled out by civil surgeon

Spend another $40 for I-693 form, sent to local USCIS office registered mail, arrived March 11 2005

AOS finally approved March 25th 2005

Green card arrives about 10 days later

!!Green card has incorrect middle name!! Thanks USCIS

Travel back to Denver, turn in card and I-90 to correct their mistake.

Application accepted, asked for I-551 stamp, they told me "We don't do stamps anymore"

NOA1 for I-90 received from NSC April 18 2005, fee waived

NSC appears to have stoped processing I-90's

Marilyn needs to travel back to the RP, call Senators office for help with green card or I-551 stamp

Travel back to Denver July 1, 2005 and received I-551 stamp in the passport.

Thanks guys but we have already tried that route. I called that number to DOS a week ago today and was told that they had no news for us at all because the chennai consulate had not been updating our case with them. They did say that there had been no security checks ordered so whatever was going on was within the embassy itself.

And get this..... the chennai consulate had me to get my tax transcripts ordered to be sent to the DOS directly. They mailed it out to them at the end of DEC. They (DOS) could not even tell me if they had received them and whats more they said "when we do get them it can take MONTHS to forward on to the consulate!" This is the last document that the chennai consulate asked for and it irritates me to think that this may be what is holding up our AP. Why on earth would it take months to forward the transcripts????

Oh and one more question ! What is a home field investigation?? And who is subject to those??

Thanks!

I can't give much helpful information... but know that you are not alone... the same thing is happening with my case... my fiance interviewed 1-6-06 and he's on AP but DOS doesn't even have clearances requested yet... they told me the same - still at the Islamabad embassy... (he's afghan but has to go through islamabad) ... from what I understand, the home field investigation is when someone from the consulate comes out to where your SO is and investigates the validity of the relationship - anyone can be subject to this...

good luck.
