Salaam All,
Today I received a response from the U.S. Embassy in Frankfurt...
The Immigrant Visa (IV) Unit had asked Mr. Rashid to complete some extra forms, which he has recently completed and have just now arrived at our office. Our next step is to review the documentation Mr. Rashid has submitted and consult with our Department of Homeland Security colleagues as to the basis of the refusal at the port-of-entry in Atlanta. Under current U.S. law and regulations, this additional administrative processing is required before a new visa can be issued.
The amount of time required to carry out this additional administrative processing varies. It can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to several months or longer. We sympathize with his situation and will work to bring the case to conclusion as speedily as possible.
Eventhough this process has exhausted our funds, I think it is time to hire another attorney. Please keep us in your prayers.
