Hi All,

We applied for K1 Visa last March 2013, Had my interview on Dec 8 and I was asked to provide co-sponsor. I went back on Dec 22 to provide the documents as required and they collected my passport and again I was scheduled to collect my passport last Jan 5,2014. But, on Jan 5 they just gave back my passport and said "It is not yet done, We will call you".

I am so disapppointed with their answer and they dont even discuss further. Upto now, I am still waiting a call from them. They just give back my passport and no more additional papers or appointment and dont know what is our exact status, if under administrative or what?

Is there any case that you know which is similar to us? We are lost.

Regards,

D

you need to do as they say and Wait. hard to hear, but it is all you will get out of them. Abu Dhabi is one of the easiest embassy's in the Middle East. if you delivered all your paperwork and it was completed to their standards, you will be fine.

they need to re process everything to get you the visa...having a co-sponsor throws in a whole other review process. Good luck!

HI Carie_Azan,

Thanks.... We complied to all the requirements, we should be fine but long wait is killing us.. sad.png so anxious....

Rgds,

D

Our situation is similar, we needed to drop off additional documents, as we did... We were told twice that the case was completed and they took passport and no visa. Still waiting as more work needs to be done on their side. We have been put on AP for 10 months now, and still waiting, and the after turning in the paperwork it's been 8 months of waiting. All we can do is set back and wait.
