Hi Everybody,
Here is my first post here but I was under administrative Processing for a while and I was reading your threats here to release my stress of waiting. For that I wanna write about my case which could help somebody.
My interview was 1st of March. It was pretty good and the CO told me that your documents are fine and your Visa will be approved but we need your CV and this may take two weeks of AP. I think this AP because of my chemical engineering studies. Actually, I wanted my passport because I wanna travel and CO told this fine you can take the passport and when you come back in April, you send them to us to issue your Visa. I did take my passport with me but I asked Simon and he advised me to send the passport back to them since AP takes only two weeks as CO said otherwise you may have a problem to get visa in April. So, I did the following:
1.03: interview date
one day after: CV sent by email and passports by post
on the same day: Status update, AP for me, wife and son
two days after: received email from consulate asking me the travel history of the past 10 years because I have renewed my passport
on the next day: sent the travel history by email a scanned copy of my old passport and the status updated but still AP
one week after: status update at evening (done in USA) still AP
22.03: status update at evening (done in USA) still AP
23.03: status update at morning (done in the consulate) still AP but wife and son became ready (two weeks after they received all my required documents as CO said)
24.03: status update at morning (done in the consulate) still AP and wife and son still ready
24.03: status update at afternoon (done in the consulate) all visa are ISSUED
Now, I'm the passports and I hope I can get them soon so I can arrange my holiday!
I thank Simon and wish all the best for all
