Hey Mkaurd,

Had your husband went to the New Delhi Consulate for the interview? let me know? I thought he had given interview in Mumbai Consulate!

Payal...I am going to India and going to visit Consulate next month. I hope we get visa end of this month.

New delhi embassy is closed for public after March 19th...I don't see any scheduled interview. Hopefully they going to work on AP cases. Lets see if we get our visas end of this month.

Don't be depressed Payal....there is light after tunnel....We just have to wait for that light....Is your husband coming to visit you?

Guys I made an appointment with New Delhi consulate next month, but advice how should I proceed....haven't been to embassy for 18 years.

Hi Soccer.Player,

I think so..Admin process is same in India and Pakistan...

Any news Payal about your cases? Is everything ok? Didn't see you hear in few days....

Forum, ppl

So, after waiting for 5 months I finally visited India since our case was still pending. I made an appointment with the U.S. consulate in Mumbai to find out what is causing the delay. I made the appointment under "other services." So, I went in there excepting an answer from them but all they kept saying was "visa department is out of our reach and we don't process visa application or answer visa inquires and that is handled by the visa consular department." I talked with them for 15 minutes but I got the same response its under processing. So, we drove back to our house which is 6 hrs away.

After reaching home I checked the ceac.state.gov website to check the status and to my surprise it changed to "issued" from "ready" and coincidentally the status updated date was same as my appt date. I finally picked up my wife's passport today with a VISA. Just wanted to update ppl who were following my case. I hope everybody gets their visa completed and good luck on your journey. I waited almost 6 months for an approval.

Congrats Dinank....Have fun... :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

mine is cr1 visa.yes i got help from senator

Did you guys get any answer from senator?

Hi guys, i got passport with visa. But one question its stated on visa IV ISSUE ON 12 MARCH 2013 AND IV EXPIRE ON 25 MAY 2013. Why is like that? It should be for 2 yrs period, right

Usually Visa is 6 months. However; when you will get your green card upon arrival it will be for 2 years. I wonder why your visa is for 2 and half months.

Anybody Got Ongoing Relationship Case cleared and got Visa? Please let us know and how long it takes to clear the AP for ongoing Relationship cases? Any Second Medical/ Second PCC submitted?

After Passport Submission, how long it takes to get the Passport along with VISA finally?

Please post as much information as possible those who are fortunate in these cases.

Feedback/ Responses will be appreciated!

I call my husband about 3-4 hours a days and I have all phone bills from September 2011. I kinda don't know reasons for AP.

Admin Process in India and Pakistan is same or diffrent??

AP in India means Annoying Processing. What does it means in Pakistan?

Just Joking.

So, it has been 5 months since his interview. Within 20 days, his medical report will be expired. Should we work on new PCC & medical report.

Also, I made my appointment to visit embassy next month. I will inform you if there is any outcome.

hey everybody i found out this interesting thing about my case ,,... i cannot tell you or explain you how i did but here it is , on 1st my case were updated but status was same that time , my case was waiting in que with bunch of people also received 221 g for the officer review and around a week on 7th march my case file was reviewed by the officer so after the review he already declared the decision but then he put my case again on AP cuz at that time they were waitin for vfs officer or their people get at embassy or conulate to pick up my passport so.. on same day when actually i got visa or printed my visa they updated my status finally.i also found that people who got their 2 nd 221 g they were struggling . dont ask me how and why cuz Im "G" lol jk ,... but i heard it and thats all folks

So how did you do it? In Jan, I was told that my case is pending officer's review.

we just got good news from the senator that my bhabi should get her visa by end of next week at the latest. Hopefully earlier, maybe even today.

FYI, the embassy told our senator that we were in Ap but our senator was proactive and got in touch with the Department of State. The Department of State told them that "her case was delayed due to required security background checks. The background checks have now cleared and her case will be able to move forward. She should expect to see a change in her case status in the embassy online status checks system at https://ceac.state.gov/CEAC/ or be contacted by the embassy by the end of next week. "

Whenever I called DOS they told me whatever it was it was at embassy level and the embassy told me nothing and told the senator nothing.

SO i guess, ask your senators to check with DOS also? I had asked my senator that I understand that the government has to do their job but I just want to understand what is going on and that I am will to wait as long as it takes but I just want to know why.

Congrats

We were in AP for about 40 days when I contacted the senator and asked for help. The senator contacted embassy and got the same boring response about the case being in administrative processing and to wait. Our senator was proactive and contacted the Department of State and was able to get answers. SO I guess anyone talking with a senator might ask them to check with DOS along with embassy on the case status.

What state is it? Our senator office doesn't even return calls. How should I proceed with senator?

yea you are right, God knows only when it is going to change and we will get visa??

I called DOS there system is down....This is 2nd time this month they told me same thing.

Hey Mkaurd, when our good days will come? :( at least they should ask for passport right???

God knows when.......This situation is really sad...In 3 days, it will be 5 months since interview gone by and no answer.

Our case update status didn't change at all the first month, that was really upsetting. But then it changed on the 19th of last month and then about a week later on the 28th. A week after that on the 5th of this month and today it changed again.

Is it good that it has started changing so sooner and sooner? does that mean we are close to done? we have been in ap for 50 days. And the senator also emailed them last week.

My case status changes so many times in December and now nothing unless I'll ask them for update. I have been in AP since 145 days.

Congrats..

What was the reason for AP? Was there any?

Hey mkauard, when the case has been completed then the consulate people will send a letter to the mailing address right through blue dart courier? (Because their official carrier is blue dart). It should be like this that your case has been completed and you are requested to submit your passport in the nearest OFC? I mean this kind of letter right?

Correct me if I am wrong!

I am not sure but I believe we will get e-mail from US travel that your documents ready for pick up.

All of you guys status changed to issue...congrats....Please update your status for other people like us for reference.

Payal this month it is yours'and mine turn for visas.
