Hello everyone, how are you all? :)

I decided to take a break from all things visa related, including VJ - it was good to stop thinking about it!! I thought I'd come and have a look and see what's going on...I didn't know whether I'd just lurk or join in, but when the first thing I read was the male/female AP thread and what I saw as an extremely offensive post, how could I not reply :bonk:

Anyway - a quick look shows me that no one has left the black hole :( What's going on??? I've been in AP for 141 days now, so much for the 90 days figure. It looks like I'll be lucky to get done by 180 days, that's SIX months :crying: I still can't get over the 'you're good to go, you'll get your passport back in a few days'.

Is anyone making any plans to see their SOs over the summer?

I dont blame you for wanting to take a break from all things Visa. I read your post to that A$$, I mean person... that suposedly was a journalist but wants to know if anyone ever had a women :hehe: I was going to say something... but you sounded WAy more educated than I would ... hehehehehehehe

When you were counting your 90 days did you take away all holidays and weekends? Are did you just count 90 days from your interview date? I find it soooo weird that the CO told you the same thing... it haunt me and I know it does you.. I wish they would of told me at the interview I was on AP... instead they told us Congrats you are approved... handed my Husband a Welcome to America pamplet... then I asked the Lady CO if we could pick up the passport/visa instead of waiting on it to be mailed and she said yes!! uggggh I have nightmares.

Well, I just saw my husband back in May/June... So I guess you could say that I have already seen him :( I am trying to make plans if not just in my head to see him in October after it has cooled off a little bit..

Our 90th day is Aug 19th... keeping my fingers crossed

In general, they do not give any reason for AP. I believe and trust me this long AP is not based on anything rather than being from the Middle east, an Arab and Muslim. Checking my history does not need years to be cleared. Most of Palestinians, male, that I know went through a long time AP. Ironically, Last month I applied for a visa to England, and I just got a multi entry 6 months visa within 30 days, but for the USA takes ages. I believe they put our files aside waiting someone to decide to check them out. Anyway, At least me and my wife have been living in Palestine more than 3 years, but feeling unstable most of time.

My fiance has been in AP for a while now.. her interview was in Jan this year and VN is not a MENA, Arab or Muslim country so your theory is only applicable to some AP cases... The name checks for AP is only a portion of the cases in AP... AP just means they are not done doing what they want or need to do before the visa is issued... could be AP in DC or at the consulate.. in either case it wont be done until the CO is comfortable with making a decision...

I know right :angry: India is also not on the MENA list either, not to mention I have looked at all the sites that tell which countries get the red flag hits and India is never on them... I know that there are muslims in India not to mention scammers... but... hell.. uuuugh ... damn... I am sooo sick of this :bonk:

Yeah seems more people joining the thread than leaving. Maybe lots of people at the consulates taking summer vacation? I'd like to see em try enjoying the summer WITHOUT their significant others. :angry:

Hello to everyone!

I'm new here but have already one-month-experience, will be already a month since my interview day this weekend, got 221g at the time of interview, still have no idea what's going on. They send formal letter even to a congressman. It's so hard to be unknown...Talked with other woman who is in this process since June,1, same embassy, same answers, word-to-word.

Sorry to have to welcome u to the group. We got our 221(g) about a month ago also. So they return case to USCIS? I was told by my Senator that USCIS should receive our case this week....hoping so. Will be interesting to see if CSC does anything with it. This is a pretty nice place to be able to vent with ppl going through the same thing...always helps to have ppl to talk to that understand the craziness of this visa process :wacko:
