Wife was denied

[Khalil48134 0]

Hi..

My wife went for her interview and was denied visa.. I'm attaching the document they gave her.

Please help me understand what is going on.. THEY ALSO KEPT HER PASSPORT. (not sure if that's a good sign.)

1. How long it will take after i sent the requested documents?

2. Does this mean she is in AP?

3. If not in AP, does it mean she still has a chance of going to AP?

You need to provide what they are asking for. Not sure how long it will take. It seems that she is not in administrative processing yet, as you have been denied. If they accept your documents, perhaps then you will go into AP.

1. I don't think anyone can answer that, but other cases from Pakistan could give you a rough idea.

2. No, you're not in AP. You were denied and need to get a joint sponsor.

3. Yes, you still have a chance of going to AP. Probably a really good chance, since Pakistan is a tough consulate.

what is this??

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached.

I guess the case is in AP.. it says several weeks.. any one know a rough time??

This is just an objection. you need to find a co-sponsor (s/he can be anyone) and the rest of the documents that the counselor has requested. You are not under AP; once the documents are submitted, they will give you a new date to appear for another interview.

Please submit the said documents strictly in accordance with the instructions. Don't leave any loophole there.

And I would further add that you are in AP until you complete the formalities because the passport was NOT returned. They are just awaiting the documents and want to see the financial stability.

And i hope you will not have to undergo AP after that. The sooner you start, the sooner you submit documents. But please follow instructions strictly.

Good Luck

My then fiancé`, who is now my husband, back in 2010, was denied his fiancé` visa, was given a blue sheet, and was told it was my income, I had a co-sponsor, my son, but I was told Consulate didn't look at his income.

My husband was given a hard time due to our age diff, far apart in age.....

When this happened I felt like poop!!....I thought having co-sponsor would help us, and we also had a lawyer, who looked over all our paperwork, put her stamp of

approval that everything looked very good, even with co-sponsor, things should go well!!......oops !!!....

This made us down, but it didn't break us,

We have been together 4 years, and this April 2nd will be married 1 year!!!

Our I-130 is in process right now!! and I pray everyday that we get approved!!!!

I'm wishing you and yours the best for everything!!!..

My Kind Regards To you!

I don't think you are in AP. Remember they kept her passport. That's always a good sign in my opinion.

You don't make enough money to support an additional person. Your visa has been denied.

If you can find someone who will be willing to take on the responsibilities of being a joint sponsor, you need to submit everything that is asked for on the 221g.

Then and only then will they re-evaluate your petition. There is probably a limited time frame that you need to submit the additional information by but I don't know what it is off the top of my head.

You are not in AP. Your visa is not moving forward and is currently denied. You need to do what it say on the letter, exactly.

Remember they kept her passport. That's always a good sign in my opinion.

Nope.

"Administrative processing" is a catch-all term that can mean anything. The AP you're asking about is actually additional extensive background checks. She's not in that kind of AP, yet. The AP she's in just means they are waiting to evaluate the response from you, if any. Make sure you read their letter carefully and completely and comply with all details.
