Unoffical Update....

[moon1968 0]

wanted to give an update on my case........

Ok so we have been put on AP.....Our interview was on sep 20th....Had all papers and documents but still on AP due to fact that he had spent time in Libya......That is what the NVC office in Washington DC told me......My case was already forwarded that same day and in the DC office by friday the 21st.......They have already put it through and the investagation has already started.......My first reaction was being totally devasted......after the shock set in and I made the phone calls im beginnig to feel much better......I cant explaine to you why but for some reason this feeling of peace has come over me and I am much more relaxed.......I really belive that due to the fact that my case has already been forwarded and back here in the US insted of being kept in Lagos just sitting there waiting for some one to do something with it, that its not going to take very long.......If anyone knows that I am just fooling myself PLEASE tell me.........I do not want to sit myself up for another big disapointment......The NVC office in DC told me that the investagation is taking place here all through the computer.......How long really can that take???? they are only checking on one thing ...........But again I dont want to sit myslef up for another fall and want to keep my head in reality......Also today at work I talked with a man that used to work at an embassy in another country and he told me that we are correct......It all depends on what interviewer you get.......If you get one in a good mood then you will be ok.....if you get one in bad mood or just wants to go home then you might be out of luck........He also confirmed that since my case is here already under investagation that it should not take longer then a month.......So Wish me all the best and I will keep you posted as to any new developments..........For now Im at peace and going to bed feeling a little better....more relaxed and confident, Filled with hope......thanks to everyone that has offered their words of encourgenment ....It has really helped...... Not dancing in the streets yet but happier ....LOL

Moon, If you post in the mena forum you may get a response on how long others have waited on security checks, just keep in mind everyones

case is unique.

There is a backlog with FBI security checks and I don't know if it matters that your case came from Lagos instead of other mena countries on to

Wa.

I don't know if all security checks in Wa are put in the same pot or separated by country as far as next in line is concerned.

Glad you are feeling hopeful and at peace. This process is a roller coaster of emotions and eventually you will settle in with occasional

sad moments.

For a while I was like a deer caught in the headlights, almost paralyzed to live life.

I have joined a gym and continue to try to live my life doing things I enjoy........one day at a time.

I have accepted the fact that it takes as long as it takes. Remember Gods timing is best.

Omoba,

Thank you and everyone else that replys. It helps to read everyones words of ecourgement....Im going to call them again on Monday (tomorrow)... From what I understand our case is not waiting in line but rather the investagation has already started.......The NVC office has already sent it out for investagation.....Dont know if that makes a difference but I will try to find out more on monday.......Just to let everyone know just being able to come to the computer and read what everyones posted really helps and makes me feel like I am doing something.....Thank you Thank you.....
