MENA CR1/K3/K1 visas PART2

[Y's_habibitk 2]

Well thats good Beth!

AP at NVC is its own animal. Some have even been told by DOS that they put files in "AP" when the consulate is overflowed and needs some files to be held in order to "catch up" on their non immi visa interview schedule.

While another lady who was interviewed once their file was out of AP and to the consulate, was asked about other lease holders at her hubby apt ...as they found out during AP that there was an overlap in dates of lease holders at his apt.

There arent any real facts on AP at NVC other than every case takes the same amount of time(give or take a few days based on the current trend) for example: when we were in AP there...99% got out in 50-53 days. Now its 20-22 days. Poor Beth, you were that one

You cant tell me that they are doing any "real" AP if its a consistent amount of time for 99% of people. That just doesnt make sense to me.

oh ya, and the operators at NVC have no idea wth it is for lol

Anyway, thats my spcheel on AP at NVC hell

Im glad youre getting answers and help hun!

Aww Beth how stressing! Yet, alhamdullilah the supervisor sent the K3 to the embassy!! I am glad to hear that. Although, I don't understand why the CR1 got put in AP. I thought, that only K1 and K3 get AP.

I really hope the CR1 will be at case complete soon. It really is the better visa to get, although I know you have a time crunch. What about the extention for your man's residency card? What has he done so far to do that? Keep us posted honey. Hugs.

Further update: AP for CR1 does not mean the AP hell we all know. AP for CR1 means its in final review, last desk before case complete.

Why in the hell could a operator tell me this???, this is what the supervisor basically told me as I think it all over now, and a VJer also confirmed this, she too went thru same nightmare of hearing those words AP, The AP is sooooo mis-representated, and can scare the hell out of a person. So Ive learned a lesson, the worst a person hears is not always what it means. I do thank my lucky stars I got a supervisor who had a heart, took her time with me, and actually did something, and not just look in the system and read what was in it.

Hubby is trying to take a teaching position with a school in France, teaching English, I asked him Who will teach you English, he laughed and so did I , I needed that. Actually his English is superb!!! We will figure this out, and he also wont ever let me give up. he is my rock and the super glue that holds me together. Thank you all, I know Im whiney at times, its just my nerves are shot with this whole mess.

Hugs to all, and Amanda, thank you Hon!!(((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))) Hugs!!!

No worries, that is what we are here for!

haha, I said that because I remember I was so mad he didn't get his interview when I was there between June and August and then I was so mad he didn't come the 18th but now that I look at it, everything is happening from Allah's mercy alhamdolilah. He got approved, I have had the time to get everything ready, and he gets to visit his family in Morocco before he comes. wow, now that i look at it, sobhanallah! my whole life has been guided and everything did happen for a reason

Down to the single digit ladies! 9 more days!

Hello Everyone,

I think I've progressed to this forum now. My fiancee will be interviewing at the consulate in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He has received his packet 3 and is going for his medical exam in the morning. I am busy scrambling to send him the documents for packet 3. He has got to be the most laid back person I have ever met, even when I was stressing over getting the approval, he was like its coming.. don't worry.... Now, we're hoping he can get an interview in October but it is now all in Allah's hand.

Good to see others going through the middle east region.

Thanks,

Dee

Ohhhh a PART2!

My husband received his passport with the visa in the mail today! We are so excited! Now I just wish ticket prices would come down as I want to fly to him in Canada on the 26th and come back with him to the U.S. the next day on the 27th. I am still in shock and can't believe he has it!

Hang in there everyone who is still waiting. Your day WILL come!
