Newsha

Congratulations

I wish you and your sig other best of luck

Iranians have the same problem, I have a friend with the exact same scenario

There ain't no US embassy in Iran.

What they really emphasized on was his translated Birth Certificate and they did accept and process the case

My friend said he didn't even need a character/police certificate from his home country which is Iran

He was in AP for 8 months and now he is in the US

If they told you they couldn't verify the docs that's probably a new thing or as you put it it's an indirect NO

Uh thanks for sharing this

I've been reading stuff about POE and I was antsy as to what it's gonna be like but after reading this thread I'm feeling better

Wish you guys aaaall the best

Have fun girl

It's better you know now, if you're sure he's been unfaithful don't give him a second chance that's suicide

Don't regret about the two years you're lucky enough to figure this out now

Just cancel everything and move on

Be strong

We met after 5 years as we didn't fall in love instantly ...

I'm a dog person and my dog barfs on my pillow, under my blanket, under my bed, inside my closet and I love her to bits and pieces

I'm dying to have some freedom of expression, I think I can find it in the US and I hope I won't get disappointed

We can't find freedom in this part of the world

After all the Yahoo emails from Mr. Johnson who died and left me £900000000000000000000 back in 2002 I don't deal with these folks anymore

I have ton of stuff that I obviously cant take with me in one go, try to cargo your stuff to the US prior to your departure that's what I'm doing

I've cargoed 60kg and I'm sending another 50kg this coming week and I guess I still will be carrying two big suitcases with me

I hate to carry lotta stuff with me to the airport

on top of my baggage I have my little four legged furry friend and her cage

I thought I might throw some of my stuff out to be lighter but when I look at my them I feel I want them aaaaall

So yeah try to cargo your stuff with the airport

We applied for K1 back in 2011 and 3 days ago my status finally said Issued

There wasn't any problem with our case but it took for ever

Just consider the amount of MENA folks running down to the US for varies reasons, I never said WHY they're taking much time or why am I put in AP for 6 months, I'm a Felestini living in Pakistan happened to fall for someone in the US I expected at least a year in AP alone

They're just doing what they gotta do, it's safe to say all the waiting time is fair

Gosh, they've issued a lot lately! Congratulations to all of you who have received that wonderful word-ISSUED!

Mine was issued on February 4. I was talking on the phone with my fiance when he was putting his phone down to get something. All of a sudden, he reports, there was squealing coming through his phone! He listened to my words then immediately went to the site too. ISSUED!

My fiance told me he didn't want to get excited till he had it in his hand, but within an hour he was sending me information about flights to the US. We won't consider purchasing until we see the stamp in the passport, but it's a little exciting to know we can actually start looking at flight info.

Congrats!!!!!!!!

I remember you answered my question while our status was on Ready

Mine was issued on 5th

Mabrooooook

Congratulations!!!!!!!

Mine was issued on 5th after 6 months of AP

Still waiting for my passport with visa

Have blast girl!!!!!

traditional or non traditional with sign or without sign, registered or unregistered .... NOT a good idea when applying for K1!!!!!!!

Don't worry the same thing happened to me

After 6 months of AP CEAC went to ready then AP for a day then issued

Sometimes Ready status remains for couple of days then issued

Thanks bud

Congratulationz!!!!!

Thanks guys

Carolyn I just saw this post and I couldn't believe my eyes cuz I have been seeing you around here and I knew you're stuck since years ago

I'm really really happy to hear such a delightful news, it all worth it init? I wish you and your other half all the best with miles of smiles together

congratulations to you for being so strong, not to mention your answers were always so helpful

Have a blast girl

If you find a flight from Pakistan to South America please let me know . My fiance and I wanted to meet in South America for a short visit but we could not find any plane tickets from Pak to South America.

Qatar Airways

Thanks so much for your reply

Okay so I'm on a K1 visa, my fiancé and I decided to meet in South America, stay there for a week or two and then fly to the US together

I'm gonna be flying out from Pakistan so do you think that's gonna cause any trouble? Like do I have to fly from Pakistan straight to the US?

I don't know where to call and I'm kinda unsure US embassy will assist me over the phone

Thanks

Thanks guys

And you bet all worth it

But I'm still waiting for your visa to celebrate together

CongratzzzZ...

Hey folks

5th of Feb 2014 CEAC status is changed to Issued!

My interview was on 31st of July 2013 (Islamabad embassy)

at the end of my 5 minutes interview the CO did not tell me I was approved or anything he just said wait we need to do some stuff and gave me a 221G green sheet and retained my passport

I emailed the embassy only 3 times during this 6 months and I never tried to contact my congressman or senator, never made a phone call to NVC or USCIS

They updated my status only 3 times after each email I sent, other than that nothing

The CEAC status went from Administrative Processing to Ready on 30ed of Jan and back to AP yesterday (4th Feb) and today Issued...

So finally after 6 months in limbo I'm gonna be with my one and only

This forum is one of the bestest I have ever come across, it's EXTREMELY helpful and been like a moral support to me I'm so addicted to VJ I spend at least 3 hours here everyday so thanks guys

For those who are stuck in AP I know how this is but just hang in there and BE PATIENT, once your visa's granted it feels like AP never exited

Good luck everyone

thanks for very usfull information.my question is what is DC abrvtion?i am sure ditrct of colmbia.do u think name clearance w done there?when ever my payment comes from usa it stoped becoz of common muslim name.now i m in AP 20 months.

Faisal it's Washington, D.C.

Name check is one of them, for DC related clearance or like they call it Security Advisory Opinion, there are several agencies involved

The number of checks to be ticked off completely varies from case to case and country to country but let's say for example if there are 7 agencies and each desk takes 3 months that will be 21 months + they have some heavy backlog

You can never predict "when" "what" would happen

But the good news is you've already waited for 20 months and I have seen many males getting their visas after 2 years so you're almost there
