Guys am so sad... they returned my passport with a letter saying that,

Dear .....

We are writing in reference to your application for an immigrant visa. Unfortunately, your file is still incomplete and according, you have been kept pending under section 221g of the immigration and Naturalization Act (INA).

Your case is under administrative processing. We will contact you once the administrative processing is complete.

I am helpless what should i do now, 15 months still in AP.

so sorry to hear that, ask your parents to contact senator and see what happens.

$230 that you paid at NVC is the same fee. You don't have to pay that again.

My case just got transferred at NVC, and I am bit confused. I am USC and my husband is Indian citizen living in India. I am going to assign myself as agent for DS3032 form. Who has to fill out the DS230 form and at what stage? I thought after case got transferred to US consulate in India, my husband will have to submit the DS230 form along with all the documents.

Please Help

you have to submit DS230 and all original document at NVC also DS230 form has to be signed by your husband no scanning here.

Hello VJ,

My husband has his CR1 visa interview on Jan 10th in Mumbai. While preparing for the documents to take, we noticed that there is a fee of $230.00 payable to "The American Consulate General, Mumbai" in a bank draft issued by a nationalized or foreign bank. The current exchange rate for $1 is Rs. 57.

When I submitted the IV application (Form DS230), I have paid $230.00. Is this a different fee that needs to be paid at the interview?

Please help. Thanks.

you paid all the fees at NVC level, no fees tp be paid at consulate.

Well Naina.. Atleast your case was looked into. My case was last updated on the date of my interview. That means they havent even looked into my case as yet.. And it is like 20days since i sent in my documents!!!!

ayegi jaroor chithhi hum sabke naam ki...

ha matlab wohi...understood hain....Status changing is important!

jab tak apna logo kaa visa nahi aata these people should work on weekends as well.

Ohh right, juct now checked that....God know when they they will update my status and status date.... :(

no meaning of just update status date, what matters is just STATUS.

status date is keep changing.

Don't Worry Shabs Ali, you will get visa but do let us know. As you know we all are anxious for our visa...

True..

yeh weekend kiyon aata hai, 2 days no action from consulate

You are absolutely right. Specially nowadays my relatives are after my visa. They always ask over the phone, what happened to your visa? they didn't know anything about this procedure and without understanding keep on tormenting me. I cried day before yesterday over the phone and telling my hubby all this, he said don't bother. We know that we are going through this pain so don't bother about any others comments.

My hubby also told me that in India, ppl don't understand this thing and keep on give you mental agony and pain.

they start with, arre you are still here, i thought you left long ago. Why it is taking so long? one of my friend's relative's husband did this intentionally, he was fraud etc etc... :bonk:

You know Pawan, we got married on Jan 15, 2012 and my hubby left on Feb, 2012 for New York. I told him, you don't have to come, wait for me, I will be there soon. I am very strong. But sometimes I feel like, OMG it is taking so long....I pray to God, that please this month issue for all of us.

sometime we become very emotional and weak when we think why with us? its torture and in india people so call friends and relative taunt her for this long wait. she has to leave her job because of this.

Yes right...that's why I told him not to come because huge expenses were there in the marriage as well so I told him to wait for me. But man proposes and God disposes :( :(

and later we suffers....

Last time I saw my wife in person was on mumbai airport on jan 10, 2012. It will be one year for me next week

i made 3 visits to india to meet her, financial toll as well

Do you not have family and friends in irving that can help you out??

i dont have family here, have some office colleagues who can drop me from hospital and leave but the thing is that time i will need emotional support of my wife and after care.

yes true Dinank even I feel one day is equal to 100 days for me. It is very hard to pass one day with mental depression and frustration from within.

i have visited ER two times since october as things are getting complicated.

God Please help us.

God you allow us to marry non-american spouse, so now please let us start our life its 9+ months for me.

Pawan.

That is sad man. I feel your pain and I hope they get your case resolved asap. I am in the same boat because sometimes even 5 minutes feels like a day

see funny thing is doctor wont do procedure unless somebody pick me up from hospital as this is done using full anesthesia and will not allow me to take cab or public transport alone. so what option i am left with bag consulate folks to listen but they dont.

Sorry Dinank to hear that even I am also frustrated but nothing can be done. Don't worry, you will get it.

i have postponed my surgery and medical procedures due to this. but they dont give it a damn.

it is effecting my health and my wife's too and my son is missing his school.

Payal,

I am never rude with the consulate ppl. I always ask them questions calmly and politely. I just type the way I do on this forum. I know they mark your file if you are rude to them. I am gonna wait till the 25th of this month which would be 120 days since the interview and then consult with an attorney. I am just frustrated because I could not celebrate my bday with my wife on nov. 5th and also missed my marraige anniversary on dec. 18th

they dont understand our pain, why don't they check 20 million illegals living in US first.

our family atleast provided so much information and our address to them to check further. howcomw they feel our families as threat to national security and not 20 mill illegals.

What makes you think that Pawan? What has to do with Singh Surname?

They maintain a database of names and surnames and if any names even rhymes with that they do additional back ground checks

Singh surname is also associated with sikhs and specially all muslims gets AP.

Dinank what is the last name of your wife?
