Hello Everyone...

I was wondering how many people in this Forum had the opportunity to have the case put on Administrative Processing. Also, how long did it take for you to receive a letter/ phone call from the Embassy to send your passport? Were you asked to come in person or did you just have to mail your passport? If you are still on Administrative Processing, how long has it been?

Our case was put on AP in September and it has been about 2 and half months and we are still waiting patiently.

Please advise... Thanks

Hi, my case is in AP and my interview was in septemeber but due to lack of required documents they asked me to provide the evidence of relationship, Liquid asset and orignal divorce decree and also told me at the day of interview that I dont need to come in person to submit these documents if I dont want to, I can send these documents along with my passport by mail. But i went to the embassy right after 7 days along with all the required documents and passport and submitted everything by hand to the immigration officer and then they gave me a blue card "Token" to collect my passport, there is some number mentioned on it.

So this is my story, yes Its more than 2 months since appeared in the interview.

Praying to Allah to finish the procedure successfully and asap.

Good luck to you dude inshalla everything will be fine...

Hello.. So you were asked for your passport and the Embassy has it with them. However, for my husband they said they will mail a letter asking for his passport once the AP is completed on our case. Good Luck.. inshallah may all our process be completed as soon as possible and have an end to this waiting game!!!
