WOW ITS AMAZING & CONGRA FOR EVYONE HERE, THANKS ALOT TO WIFE OF MAHMOUD

Thank you so much WOM

What's the difference between AP and AR?

Hello everyone,

It's been a while that I have posted... Well... Now you can add us to this list too... FINALLY, after 3 years and 3 months Visa was issued in Frankfurt, Germany on 6/6/08 ( My birthday ) and he is here in the US... Just one word "unbelievable"

When I called the Department of State, she told me we were in Administrative Review. Apparently Administrative Review means they are ready to make a decision on the case, at least that is what the assistant on the phone at DOS told me. Administrative Processing means they are still processing your paperwork and information.

I can say, after being in Administrative Review, we are now put back into Administrative Processing. So, although AR sounds more hopeful, it really doesn't mean a thing.

Hope I answered your question.

Sue

hi,


Thank for the good job. you can add me too, i got visa in hand in same day of the interview 4/17/05.


Thanks .


rabie

OMG congratulations !!!!! I hadn't seen you on the board for such a long time, and had often wondered if they'd ever issued the visa. Thank you so much for updating us !! I want to make sure I get the details correctly -- when was your interview date ? From what I remember, you were stuck in a long AR before the interview. Was there another AR afterwards ?

Congratulations again on success at last -- what a wonderful birthday present !!!



And a belated congratulations to you !!!!! Thank you very much for the update -- every single person's info will be helpful to someone else. I will add you to the 2005 thread (linked below.)

Hope I didn't miss anything -- as always, if you have updates or corrections, please post 'em here or PM me. I couldn't do this without all your help !

Thank you WOM... we were on AP twice... once before the case went to the consulate (when it was in NVC) and the second time before an interview date was issued... our interview date was 6/4, visa was issued in 6/6 and US entry was in 6/12 AND we had our legal ceremony today 6/25

Anyone calculated an average AP time for a MENA SO?

From what I have seen, there is no "average time" for MENA SO's. It seems to differ depending on each individual case. You can add it all up and come up with a number, but what I think you are looking for is a time frame cases are processed through the embassy. From what I have seen, there is a wide range of variances.

Sue

We got the visa July 3rd!

'Bout time we had an update -- a mega MENA congrats to claaudba, LynnandAhmed, honeybeary, Hesham&Tanya, and booboo 2.... all with VISAS IN HAND !!!

Arrived in the US on 11/28/2008
