hi zubi2lute! Hopefully you get a good response after submitting the updated items. Our case was updated on ceac website. just another date change 29 September, but still same administrative processing. no email reply yet. :-/

Hello All,

Hopefully your husband gets his visa soon. The process of AP is such a difficult time. Our case has also been in AP since our interview. its been almost 13 months in AP. No RFEs. Everything from our side was complete no missing documents, but still we have been in AP.

Hello all,

Yes it seems as though the embassy in kuwait is taking very long. It has been almost 13 months since my husband's visa case has been in AP. We submitted the passport in July and have not received any reply to our emails since then. the only update we got was a change of date on the CEAC website. AP 23, Aug. 2013... we r still waiting. Hopefully the embassy gets to work and completes our cases!

I hope so too! It has been well over 2 months since we submitted the passport to the embassy. The embassy has not replied back to our emails since 2 months. Only update was AP on CEAC on 23 August 2013 ... still waiting...

Yes. Still in AP. Have not heard any news from the embassy. I asked them for a status update and its been over 2 weeks and no reply. :-(

AP definately sucks! My case has been clear all the way with no missing documents, but still have been placed in AP for over 11 months. We contacted our senator and congresswoman, but all they can do is ask for the status on our behalf. Unfortunately, during AP they cannot do anything to expedite the process. Wish you best of luck!

Hello All

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
