i yemenies guy came to my store he granted a visa in the first week of august his interview was march (( first week )) in djubouti

i hope this give you some hope

did he redo his medical? or did they give him visa with expired medical? 

If they’re reviewing your denied case, will it update on CEAC or will it still say refused on x-x-2018? I have a family members whose case was refused in march, and were trying to figure out if she’s eligible for a waiver. Any idea how to go about doing so? the email that’s on the case is another person who was helping them before but we haven’t been able to get in touch with him so we don’t know if she has been sent the email or not.

her US citizen spouse is sponsoring her and her 2 kids have US passports but her visa was refused still.

Ya, i have plenty of family members here who are with her. If she was good she would have gotten them out a long time ago. She is mainly about the money but it doesn't hurt to here what she's got to say.

Hey, can you tell me more about julie? I have a family member who met with her and she said it's going to cost 7,500 to help them and that she'll apply for a waiver for them and if it doesn't work, she'll go to court in the US for their case.

Does anyone know anything about the embassy asking for proof of relationship between the co-sponsor and beneficiary?

Hello, yes, co-sponsor who are filling out the I-864A have to submit evidence of how they're related. ex; if a parent is your co-sponsor, you can submit birth certificate that has your name on their name on it. 

but if the person doing the co-sponsorship isn't related to you or does not live in the same household as you, then they fill out the I-864 and i believe the don't have to submit evidence (i maybe incorrect though).

alhamdullilah he was able to make it before the ban. Inshallah he makes it safely to America and for the rest of us to follow soon.

ameen inshaAllah! best of luck everyone. 

just wanted to update you guys that my husband was able to pick up his visa. visa was actually issued on wednesday october 11 and it was available to him on thursday, but he picked it up today (sunday). also, for some reason, his visa expires in 9 days so i'd advise you all to maybe arrange booking once the visa is issued right away.

Hopefully not but when I went to pick up my daughters passprt on Sunday they rejected people who came for visas. Told them visas are only given on tuesdays. Still, doesn't hurt to try

oh ok, and what date did you pick up your daughter's visa?

They won't notify you. I was told to pickup visa on latest tuesday. So you would go to embassy on October 17 at 2 pm. May I ask when was your interview and was it your spouse?

him and another guy he met are going to the embassy tomorrow to pickup their visa's. they shouldn't have any problems, right? 

yes it's my husband and his interview was july 16.

ceac status states issued, any idea how long or when will they notify us to pickup?

My husband was issued his visa today since May 2. The date started changing around the week of the approval. May you all succeed. ان شاء الله 

Hey! My husband had his interview on Sunday and they updated his case on that day and then again today, were there many updates on the CEAC site when you were waiting for your husband's case or did they start doing updates when they were getting ready to issue his visa? Also, how long after the updates did they issue it to you? And about how many updates did they make?

Hello,

 

Sorry, I don't know why. But it's good he was approved. InshAllah Khair. They'll ask for it whenever they need it and keep contact with him. But if he is approved and you got the website and you are checking online. Everything should be fine.

 Yes, InshaAllah kheir! Thank you

The only way they issue the visa is in the passport. That tells me that they aren't gonna issue him his visa any time soon but honestly it's just a waiting game now and you're almost at the finish line. They will call you guys back to take his passport and they will stamp it. Insha'Allah it's not too long. Hang in there sis, you are literally at the last step.

Yes, I thought so too but my husband spoke with the other people who were going through the interview with him and the security guards too and they told him that for people with Somalia passport's, they don't put the visa on the passport, they put it on a document of some sort, so they'll be calling him to pick up the package with the documents plus the visa (which I assume will be a seperate document)

It makes sense because even though I went through the same process when I was younger, my mom said the same thing. They let her keep her passport and they gave her a seperate visa and package to take. (Back in 2002)

That sounds fine. They say to travel to Djibouti two weeks before the interview to take the medical exam early. It's good to arrive there just in case since it's crowded. As long as you take the medical exam before the interview and attend the interview, everything should be fine. The requirement to arrive two weeks before is just so you can complete the medical exam before the interview date.

Hello, my husband did his interview and they told him he has been approved but they didn't take his passport? Is that weird?? 

Hello everyone, my husband had his interview this morning and alhamdulillah he was approved. However, they didn't take his passport and they let him keep it. They said to check on the CEAC site for when visa is issued and that it'll take a bit of time. 

I thought they take the passport so they can put the visa on it? Is that normal for them not take the passport?

Oh, I figured since the beginning of the petition that when they update the case that they will give us news. We thought we would be approved after 45 days and then 60 days. Since May 2, the case last updated date changed to May 3 and never changed until around June 30. I thought maybe they will issue the visa if the date is updated continuously, and it turned out to be true. During the holidays Eid and 4th of July, the case wasn't updated and the date didn't change because the embassy wasn't open. 

was your case expedited and how long did it take for them to schedule your interview and give you the visa?

Our case was expedited in February and my husband did the medical exam in April but we still have not been scheduled for an interview.

OMG OMG OMG!!!! I just called the nvc and they said I have been scheduled for an appointment!!!!!!!! It was scheduled yesterday. My cc was April 25! Anyone with this date or before. Go call!!! 

Really? That's awesome!! When was the last time your case was updated on the CEAC site? Did you not get an interview email or letter sent to you? 

Belated Eid Mubarak everyone. 

So it looks like the travel ban ban has been reinstated. Any idea what that means for us?!

I just called today they said they're done scheduling for July. they also said they would start scheduling next week for August. hopefully that'll be our time

Did you call the embassy or the NVC? Also, have they notified the people who they scheduled interviews for July? Our case was updated 3 times this week on CEAC but we haven't received anything

MashaAllah! When was your case complete? And did they send you an interview letter or email it to you?

Hello everyone,

 

My spouse received an interview early May. We have been under administrative processing since. Does anyone know how long it takes or other people processing times? 

Hey, I believe it takes up to 60 days. When was your case complete? 

Did anyone get an appointment scheduled?

I have, we were gonna get her for my sister but it's so hard to get a hold of her and schedule an appointment with her. We finally scheduled an appointment with her 2 months out, and we had already fixed the issue so we cancelled the appointment with her. 

Who is she and what does she get done? 

1 minute ago, aabdulsa said:

She probably had no idea. If you provided an email, they should send you an email if they scheduled an appointment. Wait and see, sometimes they don't send it the same day. 

Yeah, I provided an email. I hope we get interviews soon!! InshaAllah.
