Hello Ahmad! 

Thank you I am doing well, no there is no update on our case yet. I heard there won’t be any update till 9 months, so We are waiting 9 months after interview . 

I hope you get an update sooner and be with your love one. 

Thank you

Hi ahmad9,

No, there is no update. We gave up we don’t even check anymore. Just looking for job in Dubai till I find something.

Hi Ali, thank you, and hope she gets her visa very soon and my wife as well.

zara, 

I would recommend you wait for the interview letter, that letter will tell you what you need bring for your interview and what document you need before the interview, and as far as I know for Afghan applicants police certificate is not needed.

My wife had her interview in Kabul on December 3, 2017. Her case has been under administrative since then. We have had several updates since the interview that weren't due to our correspondence - the latest update being on December 5, 2018. There is really nothing you can do to expedite or waive the administrative process. Not even your state senator or congressman/woman can help you. The only option you have is to be patient and wait until the AP is complete. It is hard and frustrating to wait a long time to be reunited to your loved one, but in the eyes of the government, national security is more important than feeling of the visa applicants. Based on my correspondence with my state senator's office, I have received the following explanation as to why the administrative processing takes a long time:

Once the visa applicant is interviewed at the Consulate, the Consulate sends the case to the Department of State for further review. The State Department then sends the case to several other federal agencies to investigate. The Consulate overseas cannot adjudicate the visa until the State Department turns the case back over to them. And the State Department cannot turn the case over to the Consulate until all other federal agencies complete their investigations.

 

Hi Ali, any update on your wife’s visa? Thank you!

Sorry haha I’m so concentrated on him getting his visa. I meant passport. That’s giving me some hope but it’s honestly so depressing having to wait without any updates of any sort. 

Well, It certainly is depressing and hopefully it ends very soon. I just sent an email to my congresswoman and see if she can help me.

Well, it depends on case to cases and the person who interview them, I know it’s frustrating, because I am waiting for my wife’s visa too and it’s been 6 months after the interview,  21 months since we filled and we still don’t know how long more we have to wait. We just need to wait and be hopeful and that’s all we can do for now I think.

You said they have his visa, do you mean his passport or visa?

Hi Tariq! I’ve been emailing them for a month now and they haven’t been responding. My husband’s been waiting in AP since September and they have his visa but still no updates or anything. It’s frustrating because someone else who had an interview the same time as him and got AP is on their way but he’s still waiting.

Hi , my wife visa is under AP, since July 2018 ,But they always reply to my emails. Check their website and see if you have the right email address, it’s kabuliv@state.gov I think.

I heard most cases get updates after 9 months, so wait another month and hopefully you will hear from them this coming month. 

Hi MZR, any update your case ?

Hi Zara, you don’t need a police clearance certificate. It is waived for afghan citizens. 

Travel.State.Gov > U.S. Visas > U.S. Visa: Reciprocity and Civil Documents by Country > Afghanistan

i recommend you ask a lawyer to fill the forms for you , because one missing document can cause more than a year delay .  

Hi Mursal,

Yeah they ask to bring all the original document at the time of your interview including a copy of the tax document. lets hope your husband gets his visa very soon. my wife's case is under AP and there was not any update date since July 29th, all other updates that we have is replying to our emails. once I get any update I will write it here.

Zara,

I am glad you got your approval from USCIS, and unfortunately no I don't know how long does it take. NVC gave us our KBL exactly after two months, so I could say NVS stage is on average 2 months. hope it helps:)

Hi Klewis27,

any update regarding your husbands visa? my wife she had her interview on July 24, and its still on AP. I don't know how long more we have to wait.

Mzr,  I hope you get a positive response very soon, because this waiting is the worse. My wife’s case is over 60 days now, and I don’t know how long more we should wait, hopefully not very long. Did you have any missing document?

@Tariq784 my husband had an interview in Kabul on March 2018 still the case is in AP. Another girl who had an interview same day as my husband got approved 60 days after interview. 

Hi Nilsananil,

Yes, My wife she had her interview on July 24th and we are still waiting. CR1 Visa.

I just wanted to know if there is any afghan applied for CR1 visa and their visa is under administrative processing?  My wife had her interview and its been more than a month we are waiting and there is no time frame for that. would be great if you share your experience regarding the administrative processing. 

I have been waiting for my Case # since Feb 6th.  as i read the comments and message everyone receives there case # within 4 weeks. 

My Case was received by NVC on February 6th. I still haven't heard anything from them, and when you call they say there is no Case # assigned for it. I think it took more than usual time, is there anyone else have this issue? or just mine.
