Emailing Consulate in Beirut about AP time: K1 visa

[amuli]

Hi guys,

My fiance had an interview July 28, 2015 in Beirut, Lebanon. Our whole process had been going so smoothly and quickly. The interview was great as well, and there was only one document missing (my mother's proof of US citizenship), which I scanned on my computer that same day and emailed it to them. They responded quickly, and the next day they called my fiance to tell him to bring his passport to the consulate that coming Monday, Aug 3. On Monday, they took his passport and gave him an orange slip that says to come back next week on Aug 10 and pick it up. We assumed it meant he would be picking up his passport that day along with the approved visa. There were no signs that anything was wrong. We have a legitimate relationship with tons of proof, I have visited recently, all of our paperwork was organized and pristine. But they gave him back his passport and told him that it was now under administrative processing, and that they would call him.

It has been 6 weeks now since the interview, and I'm trying to be patient, but I can't understand why we have to go through this, and I'm afraid of having to wait many months before they give him his visa. I want to write them an email to ask about what is going on. I feel like they give you the same general response about "we don't know how long it will take, we understand you are frustrated, just be patient" kind of thing. Has anybody else gone through this? Specifically from Lebanon? What was your experience like and what do you recommend that we do at this point?

Hey, I'm also AP in Beirut. The whole process when smooth as well, they told my fiancee they were going to check on one little thing and call her to drop off the passport. She interviewed 11/19/2015 and since we have not heard anything. When we email they, i get an automated reply "that the embassy will not answer questions regarding AP" and its very frustrating to not know when this will be resolved. I see this website doesn't have a lot of traffic, i recommend you join **** **** ***.com, I'm finding a lot of support there. Still angry, still disappointed, still frustrated, very very angry that the embassy won't reply to our emails. Have you heard anything yet?
