I am sooo confused...It has been about a week and a half since we got the email for Moe to send in his passport visa Aramex and that his visa was ready to be issued. I sent an email last Thursday to check on the status and received this email in return...

"The case has been submitted to the State Department for further processing and we must wait until they provide authorization before a visa can be issued. Unfortunately, until we receive the proper authorization to proceed with issuance there is nothing that either you or we here at the Embassy can do except to continue to follow up and check the status. We follow up on these cases regularly.



We will send your husband's passport back by Aramex and we will let him know when we receive authorization"



What in the world is going on here??? I am so freaking confused...is it possible that this person made a mistake when checking our case or is it actually been sent to DOS yet again....????


Please help guys...i want to cry

Sounds like a second round of security checks, maybe a name hit.......... Try posting this question in a different forum also to get more responses.

I am so sorry you had this happen. Stay positive and hopefully it will be just a short detour.

Awwwww sweetie don't cry. It's not unusual at all to have these delays for additional security checks. It's happened to several members here, and they came through successfully.

Just hang in there -- it may take a little longer than you had hoped, but insha'allah everything will be fine.

Sending you lots of prayers and MENA MOJO and good vibes !

As JJ and WOM stated, it is probably just another round of checks and a short delay. Stay optimistic !

This is what happend to my husband, they told him to send in his passport and then sent it back with nothing stamped just in pencil "back". I was freaking out and then we got papers saying he had an interivew for CR-1. Well he went to the interview and then he was issued a CR-1 visa. I am not sure what is going on but sometimes things come up and it is very frustrating when you can't get a clear answer but keep the faith and God will see you through this. You are almost done.

I hope for your sake that this second AP will only take a few weeks...

I really understand how this must be putting you and your spouse through the ringer.

Please be strong!!!!

Have to agree with the others sounds like another name check. Try and stay positive and hopefully it will be finished soon.

i am soooo sorry sweety i know how rough this process can be, as well as do many of us here on VJ but hang in there!! I think that is what my hubby is going through as well...because when I called DOS last Friday...they stated he was going through MORE security checks but inshAllah we will all make it through this...yes they make everything difficult and being separated is so rough but hand in there hun!!!! my prayers are with you and inshAllah you will have a speedy round two of AP (if I am not mistaken...I have read that the second time around *usually* does not take as long...inshAllah) take care

Sorry, but this is the first chance i have had to get on...I got the update that they have sent back the passport (no visa stamp) until the AP is over again....I just really feel so hopeless now--like how do these people tell us--YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED THE VISA...and then they take it away. I just feel so alone and helpless and i just can't stop crying...I think this is never going to end...It has been 15 months since I seen my hubby and I feel like today my heart has been broken...usually i can shake it and get over it...even all of the nerve pills, aspirin, and everything hasn't shaken it today....My heart just feel completely empty....thankyou all for your responses to me....i appreciate you all so much and wish u the best

Dear, sometimes you have to stop and take care of yourself. That numb feeling is a bad sign. Go home, lay on the couch, have a good cry and some wine, sleep long and hard. Get on the phone and make arrangements to see your hubby. 15 months is toooooooooooooooo long! to be seperate!

I pray for you to be reunited w/ur loved one soon....hugs to you...

i am sorry for the setback you are having, i dont think Jordan has a very long AP wait time though. i havent known anyone to be in AP for several months on end. i wish it goes speedy so you can be reunited with your husband!!

Oh no! i'm so sorry Jade!
That is terrible. Please keep heart and take care of yourself.
i agree with Nutty... take a long needed vacation and get yourself to your hubbie. Some togetherness and sunshine will do you good!

i really hope you hear some good news soon!

That is really hard. This is why I didn't let myself get too excited until I actually saw the visa. Perhaps they finished up and one of the security checks had expired, so they have to run it again. Silly system, but it just seems to me that if they were ready to issue the visa then this is merely a bump in the road, and will be taken care of soon.

I think it is a good idea to go visit your sweety. This will give your heart a boost and give you something to look forward too. A year after my husbands denial I went to visit because we were both missing each other so much, and so depressed because with a returned petition you have no guidelines that they follow. While I was there we checked my email and low and behold there was an email from the USCIS saying that our I-130 had been reaffirmed. Being together when we got that news was perfect. We held each other and cryed. Perhaps this can happen for you too and you can bring him home with you.

don't forget that it is ok to feel sad and heartbroken even if ur taking pills to help with nerves. This is a real situation and a person SHOULD feel sad. Go ahead and cry it out and hopefully you two will be reunited real soon.

***UPDATE***


So I got balls today and called DOS...A guy named Chris answered. He was really loud and scared me, I almost hung up in his face...but i just asked him about the case and got the usual...blah blah...So then I told him--they told us the visa was approved then they took it back, please tell me what is going on, does this happen alot. His voice totally changed and he said this is what happened..."when the embassy was processing the visa....one of the security clearances has expired b/c your case has been going on for a while so it is just they have to send it back and get an updated and unexpired clearance for the one that had expired"

I just sat there...and i finally managed a "omg...thankyou so much...i was so scared"...hehe...

Thanks CHRIS....he rocks!!!

Inshallah...soon soon...it will be done again

Thanks guys for being there for me....

well what a relief! hopefully, he will get it very soon!!!

Thank goodness...
Hopefully, it will go smoothly and quickly from here on, inchallah.

You could still take a trip though.... to see your habeeb??

Thanks you guys...

Alhayat...my hubby LOVED your post...he keeps saying...you should take her advice....the only reason I haven't planned yet is I can't go again without my little girl (she just turned 3 and number 1 that is really expensive to pay for me and her both and number 2 I don't know how a 3 year old would do on a 24 hour plane trip--well maybe don't know how MOM would do).....I want to sooooo bad though...ahhhh

HUGS.....

Haha!

Well, it is a nice thought!

Glad you are feeling better, and i hope your case starts moving again fast! The fact that you got some info out of DOS seems like a positive sign. Much luck to you both!

Have a good weekend,

That sounds like good news. It hopefully wont be long now. I wish you Godspeed.
