i have been waiting from 2 weeks now...,

last time they told me one security check it took 44 days. - it was all clear.

this time its takeing 58 days..

I would say give it 30-90 days.

if this thing is pending 30 days get your congressman to inquire about your clearance check.

thats the best you can do for peace of mind.

one thing AR..

did the embassy send a cable to DOS? I am assuming they did..

if so the congressman should be able to give you a fairly quick response. * lets hope! but, give it 30 days.

17 days was the shortest security check I have seen from ISL.

1st. your wife has to contact the congressman in your behalf.

2nd. she can google search her congressman in the house of congress website.

3.. once there she will locate the congressman. then she fax in a privacy act statement and release form.

4.. call the congressmans office follow up with a phone call. follwing instant sendign of the fax.

in the fax include 1.. narrative of the situation 2.. documents like interview letters, 221g notice/letter.

rember add this phrase on all letters, emails and faxes....

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, you and your staff are hereby

authorized to freely discuss any and all aspects of my situation.

No problem Ars yaar! Insha Allah it will be done soon! Too bad DOS doesnt tell you what check is pending. Acha keep calling the DOS every week or so. Everything will be ok! DOS updates every week for so. The updated last on 23rd, then on 1st so on.. So check after that!

I have a list people who are nice at DOS and the not so nice ones too! Go by that. Dont even talk to the visa specialist in the not so nice list. The will not only be rude, but wont help u in any way either.

Just an FYI for anyone waiting on fingerprints - called the FBI this morning... they said their current processing times are 10-12 weeks... my fiance's were taken on April 13th so they said it should be done by mid July...
