A police report is not required from the USA, even though he lived there at one point.

Yeah, we asked about the batch number and they told us that they usually only apply to non-immigrant visas. I'm liking your theory on the police check in the US. I did live there for 5 years but I assumed that would have been covered in the earlier USCIS and NVC rounds. Right?

jamieoxford

Rene, is that because they'd have done it in the earlier rounds USCIS and NVC etc...?

I lived there a little while too, 4 years.. eek. hope this isint a cause of AP I know you dont need a police report from there though. And listed it on all the forms, but was never asked for a copy of my old VISA or anything, perhaps it could be regarding the time you spent there then? who knows.

It's because USCIS and/or DOS does their own security check/investigations. You don't need to supply them with anything from the USA, they do it automatically.

jamieoxford

britishspouse

Well, 3 weeks and one day since I was "approved" for my visa and I am still nervously, anxiously, and not very patiently waiting.

britishspouse

awwh sorry have you heard anything??

gnasher12

I am curious have you had any updates? any good news?

britishspouse

yeah im curious too, Ive been thinking about you and your situation a bit, and really hope you get approved soon and out of AP

jamieoxford

Hi guys, thanks for catching up. No, no news. Five weeks today since I was told I was "approved" and no sign of the visa. I've stopped looking at forums now, all of the entries about people getting their visas (as pleased as I am for them) is just too upsetting. We have offices of Senators enquiring biweekly. Other than that, there is not much more we can do. I treat the day I get my visa as something to look forward to rather than something I'm entitled to, it makes the wait a little easier.

Cheers.

so sorry to heat this jamie Its strange they haven't told you anything or sent you a request for certain info. Guess its just a waiting game Shall keep everything crosses you hear and get it soon
