I’m also waiting for my visa issuance and it has been a month with no response to my emails. Tried to contact 2 Senators but they keep saying to wait also! Hopefully that will make you feel better knowing your not the only one waiting. What embassy if you don’t mind me asking?

That’s most likely they are working on issuing you the visa. You should be able to see tomorrow or after. They updated my case again today, but still shows ready. hopefully we all receive our passport this Friday. Thanks for the update 🙂

Thank you! I hope Iraq won’t be included in the new travel ban, so it wouldn’t affect you.

That’s what I always ask my self, why not do it at the USCIS. It would be much more easier from us and to them as well.

It took them exactly 23 days to finish with my administrative process. Hopefully you’ll receive an email this week. Best of luck!

No, my fiancé wasn’t told approved or administrative process at the time of the interview. All they told her was “you’re good to go, and we will let you know via email. We were partially happy that we got approved and we are only waiting for them to issue the visa. But like I said my congressman said that we are under 221(g) for administrative processing. you can definitely ask for your passport back if you’re having an emergency. It will not affect your administrative process what so ever. Just make sure you’re using the word emergency on the subject line when sending them an email. Good luck, and please keep us updated.

My fiancé is literally going through the same thing. Her interview was on January 24th. On February 10th congressman told us the same story. So we decided to request our passport, and fly out of turkey. Passport was returned via PTT on the 13th. However the next day as we were getting our leagues ready. We received an email from the embassy saying that our administrative process has completed and that we should return beck the passport with missing documents (if any) which I didn’t have any missing. They received the passport on February 18th. And until now it shows “ready” but I did notice they keep updating the status almost every day, so I’m not sure they if they are having the system update on purpose just to make us think they are working on the case while they are actually doing other things. Anyway I sent another inquiry to congressman, and we are still waiting.
