Thank you this is my first change since the interview exactly six weeks ago, I m just happy that it finally changed on its own without me doing anything. the only two changes after the interview were because of the congressman and senator letter. 

Hi, hows the status of your husband 

Any changes. My husbands still the same since his 2nd interview on feb 7

Hi Alexandra,

Quick question. When you wrote your senator/congressman, did you have to state which "agency is involved?" My congresswomen's form requires I list the agency involved and I am not sure whether it is USCIS, the US Consulate in San Salvador, or something else?

It's the State Department.

His undergoing administrative processing and was last updated the 29th of January. i don't understand why the only thing i can think is he has 5 tattoos 3 are the names of our children another is praying hands and another Virgin Mary. Does anyone know why it would be taking so long???

****A summary of my experience with AP due to Tattoos***

 

Based on this thread and all the similarities Tattoos are under investigation for the applicants in the U.S. Embassy specially for those of us in Honduras.  I speak of Honduras because that is where our case was processed.  My husband was under AP for Tattoos for 3 1/2 months.  The reason we were able to confirm that hus AP was for tattoos is because after 60 days I wrote to my Senator asking for help, the U.S. Embassy in Honduras replied to my senator stating that the reason was because of his tattoos. 

The embassy called my husband for a second interview and they focused on his tattoos, all of the questions were about the meaning of his tattoos, the thought behind his tattoos, any sentimental values and the places where he did them.  They made him go to a room and re-took picture of his tattoos (the doctor during the physical took pictures and the Embassy Agent that interviewed him also took pictures during his 1st interview) 

After the second interview they told my husband that in two weeks they were going to be calling him.  Just like, that in two weeks his case was updated on the CEA website and it took one week for him to collect his passport.  

I know that the uncertainty can drive us crazy, our emotions at an all time high.  If you have an explanation of your tattoos and the tattoos are not gang affiliated there's nothing to worry about.  

 

Best of luck to everyone may you all achieve the American Dream!

 

Best, 

 

Alexandra

was he told the tatto was the reason why he was gonna be under ap?

No, initially he was given a white paper with no notification or request of additional documents.  We found out it was due to tattoos after my senator at my request after 60 days of AP made an inquiry to our case and the Embassy responded that it was for tattoos.
