section 221g long delays

[fop 0]

I wish good times for everybody

I, Hicham Mohamed Ezzaroualy am Moroccan of nationality of 25 years where I was born in Casablanca in 1982, I Just had my degree in Linguistic from the University of Misturata Faculty Literature English Department, Misurata, Libya where I am living with my family there more than 17 years ago.

Lois Ann Rosenquist Brum has been my wife since 27 January 2006. she is a U.S. citizen where she was born in Fort Bragg, NC. Her father served in the U.S. Army for 22 years, she is a Bookkeeper for Colorado Outdoor Power Equipment.

Lu and I met on the Internet in May of 2003 and began to exchange email, chat on line, and just discuss the crisis of the world today. my first initial conversations was to inform her that not all Arabs or Muslims were terrorist. Lu and I developed a friendship through our conversations. We talked about a number of things that interested us both and we fall in love.

On 25 October 2003, I proposed marriage, which was quite a shocking surprise and requested several weeks for her to think about this wonderful proposal. At the end of the allotted time, she gave me her answer and said YES.

Lu and I discussed many things: We talk about building a life together and as time passed the love continued to grow. We corresponded through emails, instant messages, and photographs, handwritten letters.

Towards the end of 2004, we started talking about plans for our marriage. She filed I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé (e). On page 2: Question 18: Has you Fiancé (e) met or seen you? She had written a description of circumstances of why we had not met, which were the following:

1. Hicham Ezzaroualy was a student in Misurata, Libya and a Moroccan National.

2. For an American access for entry was by invitation of a Libya national only. Hicham nationality is Moroccan.

3. The relations with Libya and the USA were undesirable and my safety was of great concern to Hicham.

The information of the denial and returned I-129F Petition consisted to no physical meeting of each other.

In 2005, we preceded the process to meet and marry in Morocco. She arrived in Mohamed V Airport on 6 January 2006, we followed all the proper procedures of papers that she need for us to marry. she had copies of the two divorces, her background check, birth certificate, and I had all papers translate into Arabic as required my Law. It took a good couple of weeks to follow all the proper steps for the paper work to be completed. Then we were married on 27 January 2006.

When my wife returned to U.S.A on 1 February 2006, She started with filling the I-130, filed April 4, 2006 as the PRIORITY DATE and the RECEIPT DATE: April 12, 2006. The I-130 NOTICE TYPE: APPROVAL NOTICE SECTION: HUSBAND OR WIFE OF U.S. CITIZEN, 201 (B) INA. Once she received this notice of the Received date of April 4, 2006, she filed the I-129F RECEIVED DATE: MAY 12, 2006 and the NOTICE DATE: MAY 17, 2006. NOTICE TYPE: APPROVAL NOTICE VALID FROM 08/02/2006 TI 11/30/2006 CONSULATE: CASABLANCA

I arrived for my appointment for the interview on October 5, 2006. it was more of an interrogation instead of an interview for a visa. Out of all those for interview for visas I was the only one interrogated for five and a half (5.5 hours). I was asking the CO time to time to have some rest because I was too much stressed and under great pressure due to the silly questions that CO was asking me and repeat the same questions all the times and for me I had to repeat the answers every time. I am stating to the best of my knowledge.

The information CO told me that my visa was illegible due to section 221(g) and they were returning the packet to the United States.

we contacted the Embassy in Morocco on November 15, 2006 by E-mail inquiring about this Section 221 (g); but they informed us that our inquiry should be directed to the USCIS Since then, My wife have made numerous phone calls to the USCIS but we only been beating death horse. And all we heard from CSC is to call after 45 days or 90 days.

God !! It is now more than 10 months and we are still waiting for the reason of section 221g and waiting for the document or evidence that they may need but we hear nothing from USCIS.

Guys I need your help to know something, these long time process really makes me and my wife in great sorrow! I have only 35 days more to reach 11 months of waiting, and for section 221g you have only 11 months to present what they asked you for otherwise your petitions will be expired and you need to re-apply again. I wonder if there is ability to extend our petitions since we heard nothing back from the USCIS .

Guys we are really appreciate for your help and notes, and let me tell you that my wife had an accident in her car and she may went into a surgery of her right knee replacement.

Please once again I am trusting of Visa journey society to offer us some ideas.

Respectfully,

Hicham

Hi – My husband and I are coming up to the 10 month mark on our Administrative Processing. I didn’t think that there was a timeframe that they have to do this in, but in your post you mention something about 11 months. I just called the DOS to verify and there is no specific timeframes for anything regarding the 221(g). There’s no timeline as to when it needs to be done by and no expiration dates to us.

Hope this helps.

Our case was denied in HCMC and returned to USCIS. I got an email from CSC telling me that my case had expired and I may file a new one. Si I started over.

Im sorry that I cant offer any help in your case but Im sure the wonderful VJ members in the MENA setion of this forum will be able to help you in some way. I hope you get some answers soon.

My K1 was denied on August 28, 2006. Still no word. GUZ still has the petition. I have no idea why they are holding it there so long.
