Reply from the consulate

Hello all,

This is interesting, I emailed the Kenya consulate to inform them of an address change and as always to check the status. Two weeks later, I emailed to check just the status and both times I got the same reply. I don't think they are reading the email. What do you think? below is the reply I got both times:

Embassy of the United States of America

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your email.

We have reviewed our records and learned that (name)  immigrant visa application is still undergoing administrative processing in order to verify their qualifications for the visas.  Administrative processing often lasts about 90 days, but in some instances, it can take significantly longer.

We realize that these extended time periods cause frustration to many individuals, and we are sensitive to the fact that the purpose of the immigrant visa program is to re-unite families.  Nonetheless, the Consular in Nairobi, like all U.S. embassies and consulates, must adjudicate visas in accordance with the provisions of the law, and, in some cases, this involves extensive administrative processing.

 

Sincerely,

Customer Representative 4

I would send them an email saying exactly what you just said...that you received the same reply both times. Explain to them how anxious you are getting and if they could PLEASE update you appropriately. Ugh....they can try patience

Also, I see your photo with your signature...you are a lovely and beautiful couple...and I hope you hear something soon.

Send them another email. I'd be pulling my hair out at this point, lol. Hang in there, honey. Lots of love, xo.

Hi Jill,

Emailing them doesn't appear to work to well but I will give them a call and see how that works. As always, thanks for your support..xoxo

I would call them as well. It's just so hard with the time difference and you can only call the Consular section between certain hours Nairobi time... I used to get soooooo incredibly frustrated calling there. It's just extremely aggravating. I hope all goes well and I hope you manage to get some information from them. Lots of love, xo.
