Hi carolineelle, the person Britsimon is referring to that also declared they were married (incorrectly) but was still successful is myself. I know this is cold comfort to you, but perhaps (as Britsimon suggested) you can use some aspects of my case to get a second opinion. Britsimon has all the...

Hi SusieQQQ Yes of course, the Americans are amazing, and this is a gift I will never forget. But what I meant about being more humane is the fact that a genuine mistake can (and does) result in one being barred future entry to the US (since it is considered lying). I have no idea how I would...

Hi All On a very happy note: My wife and I were issued our visas today :) This is amazing! I want to thank everyone on this forum, but special thanks go to @Britsimon @SusieQQQ and @Sm1smom - you guys patiently answered my questions and were very kind to me. So a quick recap: I entered the DV...

This is interesting. Do you mean that there has been nobody that is on the long track that has been cleared yet? I am sure some people have been cleared. However, does anyone know of a person that has waited say 5 months and has just been cleared? Anyone??

Hi All - sorry, I should say that I have not been granted the visa. It's just, that I am going to be travelling for three weeks at the end of the Month, and the only way I can check while I travel is through the site. So I was wondering if there other ways they are religious about regarding...

@Britsimon @SusieQQQ Are the consular staff religious about changing the state of on the visa state checker site (https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx) when the visa is finally granted. I want to know if they grant the Visa and don't bother changing the state on the site?

@DV_hopeful @bblo For me, it has been 140 days. I think this year, things are just taking very long.

@Britsimon @EURO2014 My wife and I are from South Africa and Spain respectively. Neither of use has even had a speeding fine. I have traveled through out the southern parts of Africa, and she had been to South America. And right now, it has almost been 5 months since they have put us under AP...

Really sorry to hear this @Jakelexani What was the reason (if you care to share it) that they gave for denying you? I may be wrong, but I think that maybe under very certain circumstances, there may be a way to appeal (of course, case dependent). @Britsimon @SusieQQQ You guys can correct me if...

@bblo Heard anything back yet? For me, it's been 19 weeks now.

It's my 18 week anniversary. So I want in on this party :);)

Thanks @SusieQQQ. I promise, I will let you guys know as soon as I have any information.

@bblo Today, I am on 119 days.

@harryokid Yes, they kept my passport. But I have just recently asked for it back. @Britsimon: I have no idea what they are doing. I have tried calling them multiple times. All I can do is wait: I am totally at their mercy, so I am not gonna get hung up about it as whatever will happen will...

@bblo For me, it has been 113 days. That is... 3 months and 22 days or 16 weeks and 1 day. Crazy!

@bblo Just my personal opinion: The authorities would not go to such investigative measures if they intended to refuse you. If you have nothing to hide, then I think you can chalk this up to the Americans being paranoid and you will eventually get it. Enjoy your vacation and don't think about...

@bblo Did they grant you the green card visa or just return your passport back?

Good luck @bblo. I know misery loves company, so you should know that my wife is travelling to Spain for 2.5 months starting on May 1st. They have had our passports since Dec 3rd, so now, we need them back to travel. Once AP is over, we will have to sent it to them again. US officials give the...

Yeah, this happens to me as well. Unfortunately, it is of little significance. @bblo, I have also tried calling the consulate. It does not help. Also, they flat ignore complicated emails (emails where I pose some questions to them because I can't call them in person). So unfortunately, we are...

@bblo They said the eight week thing to me as well. Right now, it's been 13 weeks since they received all my documentation, and almost 16 weeks since our interview! So if your case will be anything like mine, it may be a bit longer than 8 weeks.
