AP time for the wives CR1 visa

[myunus1 0]

Hi all,

My wife was denied due to the absence of the original birth certificate on Feb 17. We submitted original certificate on Feb 23. Embassy acknowledged that they got the certificate and it is according to their expectation. However case is pending due to Ap.

I looked at most of the cases who were not approved on the first interview. I found only one female (Sunny & moon) who are going through such AP for females.

I am wondering if any female case was decided by the embassy in the last one year after AP. If so, how much time it took. It will be nice to know reason for the AP than we can warn other members so that they can take proper actions.

AP stand for what?. I forgot but sounds like very familiar to me. Well I got my visa after 6 month of my interview for I-130.

But one of my friend got here in June 2010, she just showed her copy of her BC because she doesn't have original. Shes got the visa right after 2 day of her interview.

Its kinda painful but do not worry she will get it soon. Good luck. Inshallah Allah will help you guys.

Bushra AP stands for Administrative Process. FBI checks, Travel History checks etc. All these checks made by the State Department and USCIS and are in some cases mandatory before they issue a visa. That 6 months period you spent after the interview was because of AP.

myunus1 - I'm a female and I had my interview back in October 2008. I was placed on AP and they had returned my passport with me. I received my visa in late December 2008. At the time of the interview, the Consular Officer told me it wouldn't take longer than 2 months given my case but cases vary. It depends on several factors. I'd suggest if you don't hear any news in the next 2 months or so, you as the US citizen can call the state department and inquire about your case. You can also call USCIS for more information. This is normal so don't panic.

Thanks for your kind words. It is nice to know that some one got Visa after AP process. Embassy has not returned the passport. They told her that if she shows the original birth certificate in a couple of days, Visa will be issued.

She tried to show them in two days they told her to send it by courier. She sent by courier. They acknowledge to me by email that they got the document. Document is OK. However her case is pending AP. I do not know why they change their mind. I checked with DOS (department of State). They told me same story that her case is in AP. It usually takes two months. I hope we see the Visa and call from consulate soon.
