The same thing with our case still undergoing the administrative processing ..... The interview was taken on the 9th of August and the last time the case was updated is on the 5th of September and still waiting. I contacted them several times via e-mails and I receive the same email response  "We will notify you as soon as the processing is complete". It is really frustrating but we have to wait optimistically to turn out well

Thanks Faye I appreciate that for you :)

Hi guys... I see at least a couple of you have made it through the darkness that is AP.

So happy for you! 

We've just begun... only 11 days now. 

We didn't get the DS-5535. Only the 221g and a request for social media, email.

 

October 2011: Met in Spain

2012-2014: Video chat + visas + visits and vacations = we made it through!

June 2014: Moved to Spain, got engaged 

December 31, 2015: got married

April 20, 2016: sent I130 package

May 2, 2016: package received in Chicago Lockbox - - - 12 days for delivery!! Don't use TNT couriers!! 

May 2nd or 5th, 2016: email NOA1... accepted and sent to.... NEBRASKA 

And now.... breeeeeeathe..... be like water my friend....

October 26th, 2016: NOA2 [We had waited almost 6 months. Received notification from the phone app, never got an email.]

November 9th 2016: USCIS sent the petition to NVC (app notification) [waited 2 weeks after approval for this]

November 25th 2016: NVC received and created account for our petition [waited 16 days after USCIS sent it, for NVC to acknowledge receipt]

Dec 1st 2016: Chose agent online DS261 [a few days later than it could've been since the above NVC email went to SPAM!]

Dec 6th 2016: Case available for paying fees. That was fast, I think! 5 days!

Took a long time to get package out because... life... and husband's family in Morocco had to travel to get police document.

Feb 20th 2017: Scan date at NVC, received weird email.

April 28th 2017: CHECKLIST. Moroccans are required to send a Court Report regardless of Police Record status. My husband had to go back to Morocco to get it in person. Also, NVC wants a 2016 tax return now that is 2017. My bad.

September 15th 2017: 2nd Scan Date at NVC. Sent for document review October 20th.

Nov 10th 2017: Email requesting document be brought to interview. Will schedule interview.

Case complete date??: TBD :clock:.... November 8th!!

Interview date : January 18, 2018!!           Result: Administrative Processing      :mellow:

Embassy called for new medical last week of August. New Medical Sept 10.

Visa ISSUED September 14, 2018. :blink:

It was hand written on the end of the 221g form. Said something like, Please submit all social media handles and email addresses from 2013-2018. 

(and we were just to write them in an email and send them in.)

Update!

We got a call in August to redo the medical and he got the Visa in September. He will be moving to the US next month. 

So... 8 months. Moroccan passport. 

I am seeing that long, and longer, varies with the countries so it's hard to know how long, but do assume a several month wait.
