I agree.

Oppsssi. Lolz 😂 She is originally from Pakistan..

Did she get visa finally?

Thanks brother man. Any idea what kind of checks they may be doing? Security check, name checks? Any idea?

Thanks. is it normal to take one year for AP? If WOM is filed before one year, what happens? Does it get dismissed by the court?

Still nothing from London Embassy. The last email they sent was about they are doing some checks and that’s all. We have been waiting for almost for 4 months now. Is there anything you recommend us doing that you guys did to help expedite your case? Senators and congressman of no help at all. They get a candid reply as well from embassies. Had you consider filing a mandamus lawsuit?

Congratulations. All the best. Please make sure to take all the proof of relationship there.. 1- pictures together 2- conversation screen shots 3- proof of any financial transactions ever happened between you guys 4- petitioner traveling history to visit spouse or vice versa..

Woww - It’s impressive you still remember all these dates. Thanks for explaining all that. I guess we will patiently wait till we hear back from them. Most of my friends are kicking me for requesting the passport back from them but I knew your case so I wanted my wife to have her passport in case she needs it to travel or for any other reasons. Also she may need it for her medical as well in case she has to redo. That’s the only ID they accept or valid UK driving license which she does not have…

Thanks for a quick response. It’s very frustrating for sure. One last question. How quickly did they issue the visa right after his second medical exam? Ours will expire in Nov and we are nervous about it? Also, did they ever ask for his continued legal status in UK?

It has been almost 3 months since her interview and no news from the embassy for my wife. Today I finally requested them to send us back my wife passport to which they said they will send it back and will require it back when all the necessary checks are completed. Do you think it was a good idea to get the passport back? I hope they don’t delay it because now they don’t have the passport?

No I meant if he is originally from UK.

Yes, you can always extend your interview date even if you get the interview in Sept or Oct. But for sure, November is most likely on the cards.. Many congrats. Is your husband UK citizen?

It takes 2 to 4 months to get to your interview…

It depends if you are told that your visa is approved. If after the interview, your case is pending review, there is no timeframe….

It appears they just look for an excuse to make people wait forever…

Please keep checking your status here https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx and it’s not a bad idea to contact NVC and asked them why is your delayed when others are issued IL…

@appleblossom @Moda25 we were handed white sheet. Does different color sheet means different?

My wife is not a UK citizen. She is there on a visitor visa. The consular officer didn’t ask her why we didn’t get married in UK since she wasn’t in UK before we got married. They have her passport and wedding album. Did they ever say, your husband is in administrative processing? I heard if you are in AP, it takes about 60 days. I am now worried that my wife will be stuck in UK for next few months..

Since my wife already had her interview in June and our case is pending review, I thought I'd share our wild adventure so you folks with August interviews know what to expect. Strap in, it's a rollercoaster! Her interview was on June 10th, 2024. She had everything meticulously uploaded to the portal and made copies to bring along, because, you know, who doesn’t love a good backup plan? I tried to tag along to the embassy, but they said, "Nope, you can’t join her." Apparently, I'm about as welcome as a skunk at a garden party. So, I cut myself loose, flew back to the USA, and she went in solo for her CR1 interview. When she reached the embassy, there was a line longer than a Black Friday sale. But my wife, being the hero she is, waltzed straight to the counter and declared her mission. She was admitted right away, and within 30 minutes, she was at the interview window, ready for interrogation. They asked her all kinds of questions, covering the basics and then some: How did you both meet? (Spoiler: Not on a reality TV show.) Describe your wedding ceremony. (She managed to leave out the part where Uncle Bob danced on the table.) What does your husband do for work? (Besides driving her crazy.) When did you last meet your husband? (Hopefully not "just now" at the embassy gate.) How does he send you money? If he does, do you have any proof? (Yes, we do... and no, not in a briefcase of unmarked bills.) They leafed through our wedding album, asking about every photo like it was a game of ‘Guess Who?’: “Who’s this?”, “Who’s that?”, “Where’s your family?”, “Where’s his family?” It was like playing 20 questions with a wedding photographer. They also wanted proof of our conversations, like WhatsApp or phone call logs. As if the emojis and GIFs we send aren't proof of true love. Anyway, at the end, they handed her a 221(g) denial letter and asked for proof of our WhatsApp chat history, financial transactions, my travel history (yes, those glamorous airline tickets), and more photos together. We submitted everything the next day via email. They confirmed they received it all and will review it when they can. No specific timeframe, so we’re in the waiting room of life. They currently have my wife’s passport and our wedding album, which I hope they enjoy as much as we did. Here’s my pro tip: learn from our saga. Upload all documents to the portal and don’t go to the interview missing anything. Upload snapshots of your communication, financial transactions, more photos together, and travel history. If we had done this, we might have gotten our visa the same day. But now, we’re left with nothing but crickets and sky-high anxiety. Wishing you all the best and see you on the other side soon! Keep your sanity in check and your documents in order!

Ohhh wowww, it took almost 6 months for them to respond? My wife had her interview on June 10th. They requested for her to submit additional documents such as more photos, chat history, travelling history and financials together.. We submitted those the very next day. We are still waiting to hear from them. So for nothing.. They have her passport and our wedding album. Did they ever say that why did they take forever to issue a visa to your husband? Is your husband UK national?

You should have had your IL by now. What’s your visa category? When you check the status of your case online, what does it say? Sometimes, emails from the NVC go to spam. They usually send them out once a month. This last time, they have given a two-month gap..

Many congrats. Looks like bunch of IL were issued yesterday. 4th of July gift 🎁

Congratulation. Nope, not yet. She was interviewed on June 10th. Since then, there are only crickets. 🦗 😅. When were you DQ’ed?

I hope you get your IL soon. Please keep us all posted..

What’s your category?
