Maybe someone can advise us something

Had an interview at US Embassy in Bangkok on 21st January 2011. Everything went completely fine and the officer was really nice. However, I am an Uzbek national and I live and work in Thailand. All the documents about me never being married, certificate of having sole custody of my son, my and my son's birth certificates and police certificate back at home are obviously from Uzbekistan. I did everything by the book, and since all the docs were in Russian, they were translated into English, notarized and then legalized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan. So, since Embassy doesn't know how exactly these docs have to look from Uzbekistan, they told me that they will send them to US Embassy in Uzbekistan, which is completely reasonable. Officer asked me if I can leave my passport with her, but since I work here, I have to notify Thai Immigration of my address status every three months and on 1st Feb is when I had to go, otherwise I will be fined. So she said, no problem, just make sure you will have two pages free for visas. No any slips, or anything has been given to me. Embassy still has all my original birth certificates and documents. We contacted Embassy and they barely responded, but when they finally did, they said that our case is under "administrative processing". So this is pre prehistory.

My fiancee is in the Army. Right now he is deployed in Afghanistan. His R&R was scheduled for March, since we thought by then visas will be granted. When we realized it's not gonna happen, he was lucky to switch with one of his buddies to April. It's already almost middle of March and still nothing. He tried to switch his R&R again, but he wasn't allowed. Now he needs to notify Army where he will be going on leave. The thing is his deployment will be over hopefully by Dec 2011/ Jan 2012. April 2011 is the only R&R he is going to have thus the only time frame we will be able to get married. Army will not allow him to take any extra days to come to US and marry me. We wrote to Embassy multiple times requesting to speed things up a little bit, my fiancee called there as well and nothing. Unfortunately, they didn't even acknowledge receipt of our messages or calls.

So question is:

Is there any other way we will be able to get married with me being on US soil and him in Afghanistan? OR Is it possible to somehow extend fiancee visa? OR Will it help if my fiancee will call to US Embassy in Uzbekistan? OR we are open to any suggestions.

Needless to say, we are both stressed out and I think if Embassy has just at least told us that don't wait up, it's gonna take even more months, but no.... Otherwise, we just sit and wait for God knows what.

The visa cannot be issued without the Consulate having your passport. If you need the visa issued later, just ask the Consular services at the Bangkok embassy to delay issuing the visa.
