Visa Expiration

[ALWAYS-HAPPY 0]

Hey VJ Family,

I need to know if a Visa can be expired before to get it in hand ? after the Interview went smoothly and heard from the CO that I was Approved ? until now its 2months and still didn't hear anything from them however I tried to call for twice and sent email always all they are saying is to WAIT and this can happen in anytime now to receive their call from the Consulate.I need to know from ppl who had an experience lately in Casablanca Consulate waiting all this long after a positive Interview ? thanks in advance for ur help and responses

You can call DOS and ask them if your visa has been printed, if it has not then you do not need to worry about it expiring, then you need to ask them if you are in some kind of extended processing and they should be able to tell you if you are.

You will probably get a better answer from calling DOS than calling/emailing the embassy.

Thanks a lot Inky for ur fast and logical response I appreciated so much,and it made me feel fine about this delay after my Interview then it made me look for more info and thats what I found and decided first time to wait for a complete 60days after the Interview date before the next move which will be to make an inquiry for DOS about the real status of my case.

Administrative Processing Information

• Print
• Email

Some visa applications require further administrative processing, which takes additional time after the visa applicant’s interview by a Consular Officer. Applicants are advised of this requirement when they apply. Most administrative processing is resolved within 60 days of the visa interview. When administrative processing is required, the timing will vary based on individual circumstances of each case. Visa applicants are reminded to apply early for their visa, well in advance of the anticipated travel date.

Important Notice: Before making inquiries about status of administrative processing, applicants or their representatives will need to wait at least 60 days from the date of interview or submission of supplemental documents, whichever is later.

About Visa Processing Wait Times – Nonimmigrant Visa Applicants

Information about nonimmigrant visa wait times for interviews and visa processing time frames are shown on this website, as well as on U.S. Embassy and Consulate websites worldwide. It should be noted that the “Wait Times for a Nonimmigrant Visa to be Processed” information by country does not include time required for administrative processing. Processing wait time also does not include the time required to return the passport to applicants, by either courier services or the local mail system.

Sounds to me like you're in AP (Administrative Processing). No one can tell you how long it takes- could be a few months to a year (in extreme cases). Even DOS can't tell you how long it will be. Patience is all need, you will be fine insha allah

I never heard before about an approved Interview and wait for a long year ? then maybe u are confused between AR and AP ? but for DOS in their official website said max is 60day so I can't hand it for over this limits thats what patient means when we deserve something we should go for but waiting with crossed hands Im tired of and need to get my right after I paid all fees and gave all needed docs.like we are saying by Arabic"The right is not given but taken".thanks for ur participation. wll update u once something new happened.

It warms my heart that you believe what's written on the website. Read this thread, it's pertinent to your situation: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/303387-administrative-processing I hope it's not too long for you.
