Hi Nwanyioma,
I am so happy for you, your honey had to go there 3 times to get it finally. It is so wrong, the way these consulates treat beneficiaries. Just so non chalant. Oh well what i can i say. I am waiting for him to get here i am going to file a grievance and to request the consulates to treat people with alittle respect and dignity. Our taxes we pay in this country pay the agents at the consulates and we have the right to complain i guess. I am not upset because he wasn't able to pick it up but at least they could have called him and advised him not to show up because it wasn't ready. Wasted his all day at the consulate for nothing. Just sickening!
He will not hear from them on Monday. I will be shocked if he does here from them. We are yet to find out,. I think they will let him go on Friday finally and get it.
Enjoy you hubby when he gets here. You have been through alot.

I hope they start moving faster.

I think they have been officially open for a long time. They just finally got around to updating their website.

they reply to emails now I guess they got more staff workers.

Alhamdullah. they finally changed that stupid lie from their page.

Thanks. inshallah.
and yea im like addicted to this website its so helpful for ppl that r filing for family

Inshallah I will always be here and help you and everyone else. This website is already booked marked in my favorite on my iphone. Lol yeah he's coming next week inshallah. He's getting ready. Am praying for you inshallah you'll here good news yah rab and finish this visa journey inshallah.

Hi all.. great news today! My fiancé FINALLY received his visa today! We are so very excited! Looks like "my visa journey" with this embassy at least, is complete!
I wish everyone here luck and that your process goes quickly. Hopefully they will work on the horribly long wait times.
For those of you that are in the U.S. - please contact your congressman with your situation and explain the wait times/poor service that you are or have experienced. Maybe they will eventually get a clue as to what actually happens there. From my experience, it does help to contact your Congressman, as every time that I did it seemed that things started to move with our case.

Alhumadallah my husband got approved they gave him a slip to pick up the visa dec 22 inshallah khar ya rab they didn't ask him any questions

My husband got a visa pickup for Dec 4th.
I'm from Michigan and our sponsor was my brother in law and he lives in Connecticut.
I don't think that matters.

Alhamdulilah everything went smoothly today.
We had basically all the papers we needed, they didn't ask me for proof that I'm going back to love in the u.s.
The first guy who checks your papers, he asked my husband a few questions and he answered them all Alhamdulilah
The American lady that interviewed us then was so nice and complimented our pics and asked what my daughters name was. Then she asked for my husbands passport and she gave us the slip that says please come back on Dec. 4, 2013 for a visa pick up. And they told us congrats and we left. That was pretty much it. Any questions you guys have ill answer inshallah.

Alhamdalllah me too. My husband was approved yah Allah am so relieved. Same as rali date pick up dec 4. Alhamdallah
Inshallah we hear good news from all of you and y'all get your visa as well

RAli's husband was approved today with no AP!!!
Visa pickup date is December 4th.

Hey guys! Asaalamalakum!
So Im new to this website but ive been reading and keeping up with all your posts for months. So my husbands interview is on November 20, and after reading some of yall posts i started getting concerned about something, when it said you should have something tying you back to America the only thing i can think of is my college school records from jus last year because i didnt work and i didnt pay any bills since i lived with my parents while away from my husabnd. So plz help me on that im really nervous and also he never sent me any money so i was finiancially supported by my parents because he doesnt make a lot and he was supporting his father and brothers and sisters yall kno how it is in Yemen so i have no reciepts for like Western Union or Money Gram do u think that will affect our approval or it not really? Also im a natural born U.S. citizen and i jus came bak to Yemen to stay with my husband ive been here for five months. I will update you guys on how our interview goes soon inshallah kair! And i appreciate any and all help and ill be glad to answer any questions!

Hi just keeping you all updated my wife got approved today:)) her visa pickup date is 12/4.
I attended the interview with my spouse. (Our interviewer was the same lady as H93.) The Interviewer said we had everything ready and organized, she did not ask my spouse anything only me. It was a really short interview, they only questioned me since my English was well, all they asked from my spouse was her passport/ID.
*my thoughts to you all is have everything organized/up to date, have a bunch western union receipts, make sure you LABEL names, dates, and locations on your wedding photos and other pics, have proof that you have something connected to the states job,bills, receipts. Make sure u renew police certif. every 6months.

So any updates on HK wife. How did she do inshallah we here good news. One more day for me ahhh
I will find out tomorrow night inshallah. Bc I'm in America and my husband In yemen.

Inshallah. If I were you I would bother your sister about what happened in there lol. I would constantly annoy her lol. Just kidding. At least she can give you heads up on what to do. Good luck for all of us and inshallah we get the golden ticket

I am like anxious right now, time is going by fast and am soo scared about the interview. Ahhhhh. I thought I would be relieved but am really scared about what's going to happen. Inshallah everything goes well

If we stay with our spouses in Yemen, it sucks being away from everyone else, living in a completely different atmosphere than what we're used to, having to deal with dumb stuff like the electricity going off while you're doing laundry and so much more. And if we stay in America, how can we live comfortably when our husbands/fiancées aren't by our side?
I really hope they call your husband soon. On the bright side, you're at the end days of your AP.(insha'Allah)
Me, I'm just beginning. =(

Just checked my case status on the DOS website (I've been dreading checking since our appointment) and it says Administrative Processing, just like I had thought it would. It says case updated on October 29, which was our appointment date. Which means that the son of a gun put us on AP right after she told me they would give my husband a passport drop off date right after we send in the additional documents they needed. I'm more sad than angry. We truly have to deal with one the worst embassies n the world and there's absolutely nothing we can do about it.

They let me into the embassy with no problems. Me and my daughter actually and we all had our passports. I don't think it matters THAT much if you attend with your spouse. If you have all the required documents and pics and especially if you have kids together, I don't think it matters. And they only requested this document from me because I've been in Yemen for more than a year. If you're in America, you don't need it. But no, pay stubs and diplomas wouldn't cut it. They need something that ties you to the U.S. while you are in Yemen. For instance I'm paying bills in America while I've been here, so that's what I'm sending in. Only those who got approved visitor visas were told to pay a fee. Which I believe was like 35 bucks or so. But no, no one else was told to pay. They just took their pink slips and left.

And if you can, take all your papers to a lawyer or a translation office. They will organize your papers for you just the way the embassy likes to take them. And just to give you ladies hope, I really really don't think they give all men AP. I took about 25 pics with me of our wedding, engagement party, and random occasions. If you have other pics besides your wedding, take them. We also had a really strong AOS and yes, they did ask who gave me the AOS. I told her he's my brother in law. She said 'good.' So I guess they are looking for some type of connection there. All in all, I don't think we were wronged. They were looking for a paper and we simply did not have it. I will think we are wronged if/when we send in the documents and then they give us AP. That would be bogus as hell since she told me specifically not to worry. 'All you have to do is send in those bills and we'll give your husband a date to drop off his passport so we can print the visa.' She said nothing about AP so Im hoping for once they stick to their word.

Got to the embassy at 6:45 and our appointment was at 7:30. Went through secuirity checks and then they called us to a window. There was a Yemeni guy there who gathered all our papers. He asked me why I've been in Yemen for so long and if I have anything tying me back to America like bills. I told him no, but I had copies of all 3 of my passports and their stamps and my MI ID.He took them and told us to sit down till the council calls us. The council was a white woman and looks fairly young with blunt bangs. She was very nice and most people that went before us got approved fairly easily without any tough questions being asked. She called our name and I could tell her mind was already made. There was small talk and she mostly spoke to me although my husband is the one applying for a visa. She told me the only problem with our case is that I've been in Yemen for a year and 4 months and that the requirement for someone away from the U.S. for more than a year is that there needs to be something tying them to America. She told me the only solution is for me to go back to America and then send in the passport stamp to the embassy. I was crushed. Not so much for the visa but more so at the thought of leaving my husband. Then it occurred to me that I have some bills in my name in America that were being paid under my name while I've been here in Yemen. I told her this and she said it will do. She said we should send them to the embassy and then they will give my husband a date to drop off his passport to print his visa. We were so sad that we didn't get it because mostly everyone before us left happy. I was so sure we were gonna get the pink slip but I guess it wasn't meant for us today.
Everyone who got approved got a visa pick-up date on December 2, 2013. Which makes me think why so far away? But I think it's because they're back logged.
After the lady council interviewed about 5 people this other white guy started interviewing people. He was tough. Asking questions and somewhat rude aswell. I was glad we didn't have to deal with him. So now my dad is printing the bills and we're probably gonna send them in tomorrow. I'm so sure that if we had the paper they were looking for we would've gotten approved, with no AP. But now I think they're gonna slap us with AP even after I send in the required documents, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. My advice is for everyone to have their papers ready and organized. If they are, you're sure to be approved.

She's my sister, she went today to her appointment with her husband and daughter and they had all the papers and proof they needed but they told her they need proof that while her stay in Yemen she still currently resides in the US. :-(. But they didn't give her ap, she has utility bills in her name, they told her to send those in ASAP and after they receive that they will call her husband to drop his passport off and give him a visa date. So inshallah they're sending in the proof this week and all will go well.

Hey do you know of h93 interview went well.
