DV-2012 Under Adiminstrative Processing

Alhamdu Lillah. I have finally got the good news and picked my visa today. I was interviewed on 4th June and picked the visa today on 4th September. I was Interviewed at Islamabad Embassy as an Afghan national.

Note: I have got to tell you something that the embassy will not send you email or phone call if your visa is approved. Instead call Department of state and check your case status there. They give frequent answers and have updated case information. That is what I did.

Thanks for the support of all of you.

A heartfelt congratulations to you, my friend!
And, I think it is time now for you to do something about your forum signature. It is very outdated.

Best of luck in your future endevours.

Thank you all for your best wishes. Dawood jan, I can not update the signature hahahhahaha.

And I was asked nothing special in my interview. Just where I studied? where I worked? where is my family. Nothing special and there was only one interview really did not understand about the 2nd one. I was interviewed once only.
 
Thanks Dv2012AFTAZ :) good luck with the Re-entry permit, I will do mine in this week

Thanking Allah that you have safe trip to USA, wish you the best in your upcoming life.

Tomorrow I'm going to celebrate of my AP, it's 90 days old, WOW it's growing up hahaha.:eek:

Does one have to get in the states 2weeks before expiry of visa and what happens when you get there a few days to the expiry.

hi everyone, i did my interview today and it was successful but i was given a white paper 221(g) but no additional documents were requested and i was told they need some time to verify and process the documents from Nigeria as I am applying from Thailand, so on the form it says under administrative processing and the CO told they will get back to me so and reconfirmed my email address and phone number. I will share my interview experience and update my signature soon, I need a deep breath first. Any ideas please, im worried as i have 25 days left before the end of the fiscal year. I left my passport and original documents with them in order to facilitate quicker processing.

that's why they put an expiration date to the visa so you have enter the states before that date comes.

if you let it expire that means you abandoned your green card activation process

Interview experience

Hello friends,

I had been called for interview on 23rd Aug at Dhaka USA embassy. I am a DV 2012 applicant from Bangladesh and my DS-230, 122 form and pgotograph was received by KCC on 24th July 2012. 9th August I received 2NL and my interview was 23rd Aug.

My interview was so far good. I was able to submit all papers/documents that they have asked. After the interview Consular Officer said "you will get visa. your interview is successful. but we need time to complete our official work. This is Normal."

Then the Consular Officer gave me a greenish sheet in which he tick mark on Section 221(g) and written the comments "After completion of additional processing, immediately we will contact with you". No additional papers were asked. we (me and my wife) are realy passing sleepless night and worried regarding the result of interview.

Friends, we are afraid because we don't have enough time only one month left. I am confused about the comments of Consular Officer. Do you think that interview was good? would you please share your experience? Thank you all in advance.

Please, can you share with us you interview experience? What questions did the consular ask you?

I have a question, i have been placed on AP but i checked my status online and it hasn't been updated, why could that be ?
 
On sep 5th, i arrived at the embassy 06.30am for my interview, but waited till 11am before being interviewed as the cashier was not at her desk for me to make my visa payment.

Good morning
good morning sir i replied
do you swear that everything you have written in the forms and you will say this morning is true? I answered yes
what is your name? I answered
you are .... Years old right? ..... Yes
why did you apply for dv lottery in the first place.......... I answered
where were you when you applied.... I answered
where do you study... I answered him
what is your major...... I answered him
how long have you been living here... I answered
and you're in your fourth year right.... Yes sir
how did you come across the school and why the city......i answered
are there other nigerians studying in your school... I said yes
any other african ? I said yes but he graduated and now works...... He asked how the guy came about the school then i explained to me..
What is your date of birth,... I told him.. And he showed me the form where an error occured which i explained to him
he asked when i am graduating from university and i told him and he said now that you are in your final year, how would you go about this because you if you are issued a visa you must travel within 6months. I told him i really look forward to finishing with school and then moving to the usa to further my education, live and work there
he later asked if i had made any errors ever via my date of birth while filing an official form and i told him about the error i discovered after filing the ds forms to kcc, the computer where i went for printing changed all years, such as my date of birth was changed to 1466......
He started typing on his computer and said he will give me a letter which shows that my case has been put under processing and he went inside and came out with a white paper 221(g) paper but no other documents required, the "other" box was ticked on the form and below it says case under processing and to wait for them to contact me.
I asked him how long this would take, he told me he can't say due to the fact that it is a bit difficult to verify documents from some countries and meanwhile i am applying from a foreign country that they need some time, he wanted to return my original copies and my passport but i told him to holds on to it as he told me having the originals with them will facilitate quicker processing and verification and also they have to check if visas aren't used up yet cos at times they are being used up before the end of fiscal year and vice versa..... He then asked if i am okay leaving my passport with them, i said i have a copy of it and i have my school id cards so i will be fine. He confirmed my phone number and email and asked if calling was the best way to reach me and i said yes.......
He told me they will do their best to make sure verification process is done asap and they will get back to me.

Fingers crossed now and am hoping they contact me soon with a good news......... I can't wait........
