I have been a silent reader for several months and have now decided to join VJ. Hopefully, I can get some helpful input from this community. Does anybody know How Long Will It Take To Issue The Visa After The Embassy Has My Passport?
Here is our story:
My wife is a US born citizen. I am a Pakistani, but residing/working in Kuwait for the past 6 years. We are family friends and met in Kuwait, December 2008 and fell in love at first sight =) ... We got engaged February 2011 and got married in Pakistan on January 1, 2012! As soon as my wife returned to USA she applied the IR 1 visa in California. I had my interview here in Kuwait in September 2012 and unfortunately was placed into Administrative Processing. Our documents/medical was complete and at my interview the consular officer stated they needed to do Background/Name checking. My wife and I could not tolerate living separate, so she joined me in Kuwait. She only has a temporary Kuwait visit visa because we hope that one day we both can start our new lives in USA. Recently, the embassy requested an updated police certificate/medical/passport. On July 16, 2013, we submitted the updated documents along with my passport and received a reply/email from the embassy that our visa case is documentarily complete; however requires additional administrative processing. Now, we are still in administrative processing...
This has been a tough struggle, but my wife and I are with each other so we are happy. Hopefully one day the sun will rise with good news for us and all of those in this difficult situation! Good luck & Best Wishes :)
