Hi,
My husband is a PhD student from Bangladesh. He has been studying here in the United States for the past 7 years. This June, he went to Bangladesh for his PhD field research. He was given a letter, by the US embassy in Dhaka, stating that his visa was conditionally approved. However, he was told to undergo the security clearance process. His visa interview took place on June 12, 2006. He went for fingerprinting and paid the fee $85 for the security clearance on June 15, 2006. Since then, he has been waiting for news about the security clearance. By the middle of August, it will be 2 months since he applied and interviewed for renewing his student visa. Would anyone please tell me how long it takes for the security clearance to be completed? It has been very frustrating for both of us to wait . I would really appreciate your replies. Thanks in advance!
