Hello everyone in Administrative Processing/ Review:

My Husband had his interview date September 2,2009. They requested more information and rescheduled an appt. on Sept 15,2009.

After the interview the American woman said he would get his vise in a couple of weeks.

Well I we waited like 2 months. I started getting nervous and called Washington DC to see what was going on. All they could tell me was that the case was in Administrative processing and that they would contact me when it was finished. They will not tell you why it is in AP or anything. After a couple of more weeks

I decided to call my congressman's office and asked for the person handling immigration issues.

The woman asked me to fill out an information release form with supporting documents and fax it to her.

Within a week she called me and told me that my husband was issued a visa and that it will be sent to him shortly..

So I would suggest to anyone in AP to call their congressman's Aide.... maybe they can help you instead of waiting and wondering what is going on. Maybe I was just lucky...(not really I waited 3 months) but I think it helped.

Hopefully my husband will be here soon.......just waiting for his passport back now.

Good Luck! (F)

Hey everyone Im new to visa journey. I just married my husband in Egypt on October 20th. I want to start the visa process. Im under the impression i need to fill out the I130 for us what else needs to be included with that?? and what other things do i need to do also?? I was told we can either wait for his visa to be accepted or denied. or i can take the reciept from filling the I130 and file the spouse visa so he can come to the us and then file the I485 to change his visa to permenant. does even sound right??

Which is the better option. having him just wait in Egypt till we have word on the I130 or filing for the spouse K3 visa, and filing for the change of status when he gets to the US?

I dont really know what is the difference, im still trying to make sense of this Please give me any advise you have

Listen people if you go online and get this lawyer from AP Visa.. Do it. I went with an Egyptian lawyer over here and he totally screwed me up. When I first filed I did not know a single thing about anything. I filed an I 130 with this lawyer and I filed it in May 2007 and am still waiting. I have a friend which went on AP Visa and she had her fiancee here in 7 months.!! It does not matter if you are married there already. This guy Alex will do it all for you. Check it out. I wish I went this way. Mention to him Marcy referred you.

i didn't call NVC yet but i will , i just wait to see what my friends here gonna advice me

but what if something happen and my case didn't come to embassy b4 my interview date ? what will be happen in that situation ? i get tired waitting

I don't think you would get an interview date if the Embassay did not receive your case.
