My husband had his interview on Dec 4th, 2012 andwas put in Admin. processing and was told 4 to 8 weeks. Its now 8 weeks later and nothing of course they been closed for the past few days. When we check the us embassy in Cairos website our case is still not found, (with or without the cro # ) but in the us dept of state (Ceac) website it is there and it say still under Admin processing. We have had no status date updates till recently . Why,I have contacted my local senators office for help here in the USA . In the space where its has the date where is says status updates has now changed six times . Does anyone know what that means? Are they working on the case or is it just cause the senators office contacted them and every time they do and reply to them they update the date. nothing changes but the date , still says Admin processing. also is there a difference between admin processing and administrative review. they told us 4 to 8 weeks and we are 8 weeks now I am getting impatient. specailly with the embassy closing. Has anyones case been approved within that 8 weeks or is that just a lie they tell you and drag it out?
Update 10 months in AP and finally its issued , grrrrrrr so much for them saying 8 weeks . so happy this nightmare wait is over. hubby is coming home next week . inshallah
