Waitingpatiently

thank you! I'm trying to stay as positive as I can... eventually it's going to get out of NVC sooner or later, and sent to the embassy.

I had a question, should I keep calling everyday? or should i give it time intervals in between my call like every 3 days? And also are they open on July 3 or July 4?

guesss what everyone... i took your advice calling NVC and i asked the guy has my case been forwarded to the consulate and he said no it hasn't been forwarded yet but it seems to be you are under some additional processing and i said how long will it take he said try calling back next week... thank you alll for giving me advice in calling! and as i am seeing 3 people got their petition forwarded on june 24 or june 25... i hope AP goes by fast for all of us!

boy oh boy, i hope everyone has a speedy process with AP! it can get frustrating, i thought that VSC had lost my case because it was 3.5 weeks after my approval and NVC still had not received my case. I called the USCIS director and they told me that it was still at VSC, I was relieved at the fact that it was not lost. I hope all goes well for alll of us!

I doubt it would take 3 months, most recent cases that are on AP were done in a matter of 10 days, 20 days or 30 days... but 3 months wouldn't seem fair considering the time frame of the approval.

I got my approval notice June 4, but my case was still in VSC nearly a month after the notice date. I read in another post that AP is done on those cases that get checked and reviewed quickly at the service centers and the NVC picks up the work they didn't finish. I don't know if VSC was still doing background checks on my case even after the approval because my case was there for 3.5 weeks after the notice date.

how did you all find out you were on AP? I called june 23 and to my surprise they received my case... I was happily in shock and didn't want to ask too many questions because I hear when one inquires too much or calls too much makes them suspect something. So I said thanks have a good day and the lady said wait, my heart dropped I thought she was going to say you are in AP, but she said let me give you your case number. The next day I got the letter! which was dated june 22... and when I tracked the cases sent from NVC in DHL, I saw only one case that was sent to the embassy listed the next day, but who knows it could be someone else. Is it true that usually when you receive the letter, they send the case the same day they send the letter?

OMG I JOST GOT MY APPROVAL E-MAILED TO ME. APPROVED ON JUNE 25 2009. I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY. WORDS ESCAPE ME RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

omgggg yayyy congrads!! i'm so happy for you!

ADMINSTRATIVE PROCESSING

He gave us a green paper n wrote it will take on average 1-3 months.They didnt keep his passport.I will post the details when I in a better moood.

omg im soo soorrry to hear! i hope the AP goes by fast, insha'Allah everything will be ok just keep praying ok? Don't lose hope, and like someone said AP is better than a denial, your fiance will be out of AP ultimately with a visa stamp on his passport right? So why worry, everything will be ok just be patient

yeah it's just the standard time frame of 4 months approval, but from what I know, before October 6, the beneficiary gets an interview date and usually the visa is stamped on the passport at the time of the interview or the passport gets sent to the beneficiary within 2 weeks.

no no, you don't have to apply again THE only way you would have to apply again is if it is revoked, but that won't happen. He should be in the United States before October 6 if you are saying the interview is in September, but if the embassy needs to do some more processing, they will extend the visa time frame. Don't worry girl, once the interview is successfully completed, he will be here before October 6

he should be there before October 6, but if he gets selected for AP then the consular officer extends that day so the visa is still valid

lee your fiancee is beautiful! and thank you for your sincere support

ok i think my petition was sent yesterday because I tracked it on DHL and see one that matches the consulate they wrote down..

call now and see if they received it .. mine was received on June 22, yours will be in by now hopefully

FORTUNATELY they received the case june 22 and sent it out today to the listed embassy.. don't lose hope, I think it does take 20 days now with all the new procedures

here are the numbers... i called the director... i hope all goes well for those petitions who haven't been sent out to NVC yet

yaa lee, i called NVC everyday after my approval and they haven't received my case but today they have... I called the USCIS director last week so they must have done something that got the VSC to send my case out to NVC

D n M i didn't ask that question... the case was received today and said that my petition will be forwarded in a week or 2 to the listed consulate. I'll call in 2 weeks and see if my case is sent, I'm just relieved that my case was received NVC, i got scared that my case was lost in the mail or something... but thank you i will keep that question in mind and thank you lee b... I hope the same for alllllllllllllllllllll of our vj members and those who are in the same situation
