Dhaka

Embassy folks visited our place twice. First there was an inquiry department and then it was fraud prevention unit. That's the reason, I believe there is something fishy. I kind of wanted to take lawyer approach. Also, I am visiting embassy on Oct 31st. Let's see what happens first.

Hey mkaurd... did those team notify you prior their arrive at your home....

My husband and I have been in Administrative Processing or AP for short since October 2, 2012. On all the websites and every where I have searched it really doesn't give me a timeline in which this process is cleared up or why is it even being done. I called the visa office here in the U.S to see what could we do and on there recording it clearly states that most AP cases clear after only 50 days while I know too many people who have went through this and are waiting years and I feel that is ridiculous. I'm not looking for special treat of any kind and if this is normal I will wait but I know if they were looking for something or if something was wrong it has been 6 months, they would have found it by now. So Im looking for advice on who I can call to shade some light on this situation and why them so long to get this over with and give us a real answer. Since october 2012 I feel like someone has casted a shadow of darkness over us and we are trying so hard to find out what is wrong but every door or window we turn to for an answer is closed. I would really appricate any help given or even advice as to where to go. I was thinking the media but Im not famous or special so I dont think they would listen but it is time for someone to answer for this situation taking sooo long. Hope this reach someone who can help and have the courage to answer. Stay Blessed Everyone.

May ALLAH Listen ur prayer.

Maybe they are doing field investigation on your case ! If AP takes longer than 6 months, that means visa is not coming ! There's something wrong with your case. Think over red flags that your case has ! I haven't seen anyone getting visa after 15 months of AP. that's really rare. there's something else going on

hello there,

I have seen people got approved after 2 years and 5 months later.

Guys, relax.

You are not in AP because of missing docs or lawyer f-ups. If there were missing docs, they would ask for them.

The Dhaka consulate is a HIGH-FRAUD post and they know that the docs an applicant supplies could have been obtained an hour before it was submitted, with false information. Everyday they deny good number of applicants for submitting counterfeit docs that are ACTUALLY OBTAINED THROUGH LEGAL PROCESS FROM PROPER AUTHORITIES - so the documents themselves are not fake, but the info on it is. If you go to Dhaka Embassy's website, they clearly mention the most common type of frauds they encounter - age fraud, marriage fraud and what not. A 25 year old can get a birth certificate that would show an age of 19 in order to qualify under F2A, unmarried couples can get marriage certificate that shows they are married, Nieces and nephews listed as children so that they can be considered beneficiaries - you name it, anything. At Dhaka consulate, DOCS MEAN NOTHING. So, if they have the SLIGHTEST suspicion - let me rephrase it - if they are not overly confident that your case is genuine, they will VERIFY THE DOCUMENTS. That's AP for Bangladeshis (in addition to the regular FBI checks).

I read on another forum about this three Bangladeshi brothers who were petitioned under F2B (they were over 21) by their LPR mother. One of the brothers was married but they hid it in the visa application since that would disqualify him under F2B. The embassy sent investigators to their village home and spoke with relatives, friends, near-by living people and found out about it. All three were denied and forever barred from coming to US. Doing this sort of field work takes time. TRUST ME - they know ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING about our culture and what's right and what's wrong in our culture - probably better than we do - since they literally study these things. They know that when you say you are the 3rd daughter in the family but married while the older two are not - IT'S A RED FLAG!!

In short, this is really the result of the tens of thousands of attempts to defraud the US Embassy by our fellow countrymen. You are really paying for their misdeed. I FULLY support the embassy in their effort to reduce fraud cases. If your papers are genuine - then AP is just a matter of time. I know my papers and info are 100% genuine so it's just a matter of time for me.

They could ask waiver for this. Most probably, it will be granted to apply one more time to have visa for usa.

hello there, bor & bou

Thy could ask new police report about trips in london...... i think you could read other posts about making trip after being held in AP could help you if you really wanna travel abroad.

Hope this helps!!!

Hello there bor and bou
