AP - London INterview

[Maya84 1]

Hi All,

So my husband had his interview in London this morning, and after a 10 min long interview they hand him a blue form which says no document needed but they need to do an additional processing, and once it is done they will contact him so then he can send his passport in. They handed his passport back to him. We both are very sad and did not expect this at all.

Does any one have any idea how long this AP thing take in London embassy?

Thanks.

Strange for UK. Did he ask them about the possible reasons? Is he born in UK? or in different country?

It may take few months or so. Timeframe is not predicted for AP ( Based on case to case ).

Well, we both are from Bangladesh and we got married in Canada because it was easier for both of us to held the marriage ceremony there since he had Canadian visa. He has been living in the UK for last 6 years. He said, they asked him questions about our wedding and all and the documents he took with him was sufficient. So no documents needed.

If that is case, since he is from Bangaldesh, then they have to do name check, other verification process. Since everything was okay with interview, and once the AP is done, then he will get the visa. It may take around 4 months or so. Honestly it really depends up to case to case. Will suggest you to follow up the embassy for the same, and see what you can do to get the things done quickly.

Will be praying for you guys.

Thank you so much. The wait is unbearable but that is all we can do at this point.

Sorry you were not expecting this and got a huge disappointment. It happens in London all the time for non-UK born. There is NO way to speed it up or know how long. The consulate can't tell you something they don't know.

I've written about this many times, so to save time here's a link to one of the posts explaining in more detail what I know. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/338074-fiance-went-for-interview-today-case-under-review/page__p__5002917#entry5002917

Hi Maya, I'm so sorry for your outcome. We had the exact same thing happen to us in Montreal on Friday (although my husband is born/raised Canadian, so we can only speculate on the reason for AP). It is so disheartening, so frustrating, so maddening. You think you've come all this way, and boom! We must wait even longer! I just wanted to throw in my support and sympathy.

I appreciate your support. We need it. Although, you guys are making me feel a little better about this whole situation. I hope the wait goes fast.

Maya, I'm really sorry to read this! Hopefully, as the others have said, it's just a case of the embassy doing a few more checks and he will be all set to reunite with you Try not to get too down (I know that is easier said than done).

I'm sorry to hear this Maya

I know it's not what you want to hear, but it WILL pass and you WILL be reunited. In January I received devastating news that I had to come home to apply, and I remember thinking it would be a lifetime of agony. Granted, it wasn't all plain sailing but it looks like the day is almost here now, and when I think of it, 2011 flew by!

Hey! I know - it is the most longest day for me at work today. I read all the posts from people that were in AP (Additional processing) and no one knows how long it could take. Could be months after months they say. Greatly dissapointed. I don't understand why they have to call you in for an interview and then hand you a piece of paper just to say " we need addtional processing", well then do it before you play with people's lives. Gets me mad.

Oh well. I am glad you are making progress with your passport situation. Have a wonderful time and get home safe.
