Hey fellow VJer's...maybe someone can help me out because i am kind of worried.

My Fiance had his interview last Monday (jan 23, 2012) and thankfully her was approved for the Fiance Visa.

Currently, we are waiting for his visa to be shipped to the DHL office in Mobay, but when i tracked the shipment online,

it states that the SHIPMENT IS ON HOLD !!!! and has been since Jan 24th, 2012...

Since then i have emailed the embassy in Jamaica, but have not received a response from them and I called DOS who informed me that

everything is going through administrative processing before the actual visa is issued, printed and shipped...Should i be worried?

can his visa be denied even after being approved? and how long does the administrative processing take?

I know that i have not been waiting for a long time, but this whole process is very nerve racking and to add to that My Fiance's friend who had his interview only 3 days before us has already received his visa...so what does this all mean...

Thank you in advance for your help and expertise in this matter

Usually it takes 7-15 days for them to ship it depends how far she is from the embassy, dont worry she have hers maybe in 7 days.

Thanks...I am trying not to stress too much, but from reading other threads i see that for some people it took them as long as 5 months to complete Administrative processing.

Is there any other Vjer's who had an interview in Jamaica earlier this month who were in AP and for how long? just curious...

thanks again guys :wacko:

The Administrative Processing you are experiencing is not the same AP you are reading about here on VJ.

The longest I have heard it take in Kingston is a month to issue the visa, and that is NOT common!

Every shipment says "on hold" in the DHL system until it is shipped.

No worries, you are approved! Congrats! The Visa soon come! :thumbs:

Thanks soooo much for the support...I hope we dont have to wait much longer either, because wedding preparations are underway and venue is paid for...God is good and He has brought us this far, I suppose i have to just be patient.

As of right now, we are still waiting...I have emailed the embassy twice, but they have not responded yet...

Please keep us in your prayer

wow, looks like I misspoke! The last poster in this thread said it took 4 months in AP through Jamaica :(

I hope you don't have to wait that long, it is not common (F)

I believe the person referred on here got a blue sheet that's why it took her 4 months?
