Hello everybody welcome me in the club plz, I had my interview on sep,1st and after the interview I was given a white sheet without any checked option but it reads that I should wait until I hear from them and I will be notified if any additional document is required, and during the interview the officer asked me if I'm aware that sep,30th is the end of the fiscal year my answer was yes so he told me that he will put that date in mind and will do his best to get everything together before that date and that there somethings that he can move quicker and things that he cant. It was really very disappointing cuz why would you put an end for the fiscal year if you have something called AP and you are not sure how long would that AP take?!!!! so I called the embassy a week after my interview and their answer was the case is still pending, so a couple of days ago I wrote them a very emotional letter stating everything that came up to my mind that moment their reply was like: as you are aware your case is under administrative review and we know that such delays are disappointing for the concerned individuals but the consular officer has to be reasonably satisfied that the applicant is eligible for a visa in all aspects be assured that we will notify you once the review is finished. so a few minutes ago I called the department of state and they told me the same thing: YOUR CASE IS STILL PENDING AND UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW "they are very nice and polite thou" but I am really very tired of this I even cant sleep at night, this DV lottery is something I worked very hard emotionally and financially for I even had to do some travels to get some of the required documents And there is no reason for them to deny my case I even had all my documents authenticated from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of either my origin country or the country I'm residing in or is it because my country is one of the state sponsors of terrorism well if that's it you should list my country as an ineligible state*For the program SIGH!... I hope this long journey of mine will come to a happy end soon :'(

@Kunato: thank you for your reply and yah I understand all of this but the thing with my country is we have never had a citizen harmed US or western world but it's all because of our regime they are a bunch sick and USA deep know that fact and I'm not a supporter of my regime I'm against what they are doing actually and that's one of the things I stated in my email to the embassy.
@dadadada72 and japeneschinlove: thank you so much... Plz advise me if there is anything I can do right now ...
 
Is it adviceable that I write an email to the department of state or USCIS explaining all the purposes of the travels I made and how I hate my country's government and how hard I worked for this dv lottery ????

Oh yes, now it makes sense to me why you were put on AP.. I think travel to a terrorist sponsor state would trigger it, the immigration attorneys here always ask whether you've traveled to one recently and say it's not advisable. but sounds like you had to to acquire needed documentation. I am not an expert on AP but I do know that USCIS has nothing to do with it, it's the DOS that handles AP. I would seek to consult with someone with expertise, perhaps you can try to contact an immigration attorney in the US as I realize that a lot is on the line for you.
 
Under AP and was schedule for 1.00pm today but missed the due appointment due to some circumstances. Can I be resecheduled looking at the time frame, I mean the fiscal year DV2001( Two weeks).? Any hope please?
 
I got a call from the embassy and they asked me to submit my final college year thesis, resume, and a list of people I know that they can contact and they should be from my country of birth, I was asked to come on Monday 10am, and the lady who called was very insistive that I submit those documents as soon as possible then she accidentally mentioned that I should come asap cuz my VISA will expire on sep,30th then I asked her is my visa already issued she said NO they consular has to review ur documents first, that made me confused and I thought that maybe they already issued my visa but they wouldn't tell so they make sure that I will submit the additional documents they required, anyway I'm going to them on Monday and let's see what will happen ... Plz pray for me guys and wish me good luck ...

Finally, I Got My Visa

After a wait of more than 320 days, I got my visa. Because the embassy asked for a new medical exam, the visa is valid for six months . Thank you so much for every one. Thank you for everyone post in this thread. I wish these posts and others will help people who need information about administrative processing in the future. Thank you again. Please, give me also some prayers. See you:):):).

Congrats Hod hod! we both know how terrible it is.welcome to america!
 
I am sorry for posting this late. to the glory of GOD we picked up our visas on 19th sept. We received a call from the embassy on the 7th dt the processing of our case is complete, so we decided to return on the 8th. When our name was called and we got to the co, he said welcome back!smilling, and he requested for our son's medical report and our int'l passports. then he handed our pick up slip over to us. That was how GOD resolved our case. I am grateful to him and to everyone in this thread. For everyone still on AP, i pray dt God Almighty will speed up your case and we shall all testify that we made it. Once again i thank u all. my2011, thanks. Are u now in the US?

I don't see a big deal in you missing your interview. It can always be rescheduled.

Yes, it can. However, the embassy might be full and might not be able to schedule an interview before the deadline. Just as an example, my friend received his 2nd NL late and could not make it to the consular on the scheduled date which was set for March 15th. When asked to reschedule, they said that the closest open date was April 4th. Thats roughly 3 weeks. I know that this varies from consular to consular, however, it would be wise to be on the safe side.
