I don't know if they rushed it, they called Friday and told us to pick up his visa and Packet Monday. He picked it up and is leaving next Tuesday!! Unfortunately, I have to stay in S. Korea for 3 more weeks to finish my contract. What a relief!! I don't know how people handle the long term AP. I would have lost my mind! Prayers and fingers crossed for all of you going through AP.

Thank you for your help......Amazingly....we just got a phone call from the embassy Granting us our CR-1 visa!!!! Just in time!!! Miracles can happen!! My husband can be with me for the birth of our child!!!!!!

more questions:

1. USCIS officer on holiday leave? Yes or no? If Yes, was casefile assigned to other human there? If yes, as of what date?

2. Exactly what additional things are you currently waiting on with FBI and DoS ?

3. It's been some holiday time here, do you think there's a pile of unprocessed consular packets back from the FBI, and the paper verification of the electronic notification from the FBI namecheck might actually be in that pile? I'm happy to wait around your office for half-a-day whilst you check for it.

1. They won't let me talk to the USCIS officer or anyone that knows anything about my case. I've only been able to reach them through a general email for information. So I don't know. The signature on my refusal worksheet is illegible so I don't know the name of the officer who interviewed us.

2. They originally told us that they needed to speak with Korean immigration and would call them ASAP and then give us a phone call/answer that same afternoon, but we never heard back from her again, so we are assuming it is extra security checks because he is from Iran and his father used to work for the government.

3. We applied through the Seoul Embassy as a DCF so they won't let us in the embassy/USCIS without an appt and from what I understand you can only get an appointment for applying for the visa.

Thank you for the list of questions to ask. I'm going to try and find another number to call or email to write to.

We're trying to work the Korean immigration side to give us more time, but it looks like for now I'm going to end up a single mother for a while.

Reading this forum makes me want to cry. The USCIS is going to make me a single mother, I'm due in May and I doubt my job will allow me to stay here in Korea because of it. My husband is from Iran and Korea wants him out and won't extend his stay, and we only just began our Administrative processing in October. We filed DCF from Seoul. Uggh. It's ridiculous.

Why can they not answer any other questions about what happens if we have to leave Korea? And he has had other Iranian friends in Korea get approved in less than a week.

Hi All.

My husband and I filed a DCF immigrant application in October in Seoul, Korea. We have been in administrative for 2.5 months. He is from Iran. Unfortunately the Korean government has given him a deadline to obtain his visa and are promising to deport him after January 10th, 2015. The US embassy has his passport and the Iranian embassy supposedly cannot issue papers unless my husband signs for permission. My contract is finished soon and I'm pregnant so I doubt I will have my work contract extended as they usually fire pregnant women. I have been trying to speak with the people at the USCIS embassy in Korea about what happens with our application if we both have to leave the country, and they apparently can't read and won't answer any questions except to say they will inform us when the process is finished. I have also tried to ask them whether or not they will give Korean immigration his passport if they request it to deport him. My lawyer has been less than helpful and a senator and congresswoman have not been able to illicit any other response. Anyone have any experience or information regarding this situation. Thank you...

Hi!

I did a DCF in Seoul, Korea. Our interview was October 10th and we were put under administrative processing. It's been about 53 days and were told most cases were resolved within 60 days. Has anyone experienced a wait time longer than 60 days? We're concerned because Korea is trying to deport my husband to Iran if we do not receive an answer by January 10th. I've also been extending my visa in Korea so I don't leave without him. I'm pregnant with our first child so this is all a bit stressful and appreciate anyone who's had any experience with this. TIA!
