Is US embassy in Islamabad closed because of the Red Mosque issue?
Can someone tell me why COs are putting female's on AP?
Is it because of local investigation or are they running their name and fingerprints against FBI and CIA name/fingerprint check list?
Are they putting every female on AP? or just those who were either born or went abroad (middle east/Other parts of Asia) for visit/study?

I know not all females are put on AP but my wife was and she have never been outside Pakistan in her life

Is US embassy in Islamabad closed because of the Red Mosque issue? I have not heard about them closing and know an applicant from Afghanistan CR1 male that has been on AP for some time was contacted and asked to submit his passport now. This was a few days ago.
Can someone tell me why COs are putting female's on AP? Dood ladies were not getting put into AP until mainly from last fall. They are checking fingerprints, name checks and a new security check called "Material Support" read about it on Amensity International and a few other places on the web. Indian ladies are also getting AP now. Material Support in a nutshell from my reading is that they check out the family as well as the applicant to make sure that they are not giving funds to support Al Qaida (sp) and this new checks is what I am thinking is catching the ladies now.
Is it because of local investigation or are they running their name and fingerprints against FBI and CIA name/fingerprint check list? Most Desi ladies are not getting the field investigations it is when a Pakistani male is marrying non Desi that I am seeing the field investigations from what I have found from chatting with others that have endured one.

Khurram is right, check A and attach the NOA2 of your I-130 from December.
You will check "a" as your I-130 is approved and that is why you are applying for AOS
But I had proceede with my I-129F.

I really think all this is because they got a new Ambassador in March. It seemed like before then, things were moving at a snail's pace or not at all.I have some good news too. Looks things are really moving!!! We got this from the Embassy today. We knew that we still had these things pending. We are just excited that they are asking him to bring the passport.
"Dear Applicant,

Thanks everyone for your thoughtfullness, Greatly appreciated. 
Hey everyone, my wife had her interview this morning and sounds like everything went smooth. After a few general questions about me, what I do, where I live, hobbies, favorites, etc. The forms were collected and she was given a pink slip to hand over when she picks up her passport. They told her congratulations, she's approved. They did not mention any AR/AP, but did take all of her fingerprints. They also told her that she should recieve her passport within a week or two. I'm verrrry happy yet a little confused, cause based on what I read, everyone got the pink slip and fingerprints even the AR/AP ones????? Well, I hope she will get her passport & visa soon.
Again, I'd like to thank everyone on this board for their support, feedback, and continuious updates.
If anyone who has went through this, and can answer the whole pink slip question, while stating that she will recieve her passport in a week or two...., I'd appreciate it.

Actually my fiance had an enormously stressful time making it to his interview from Afghanistan. He was hitting all kinds of police blocks, etc so he missed his medical exam and lost his police certificates en route. At the interview they just told him he would have to provide these things before the visa is issued. That's the story KS.

Actually my fiance had an enormously stressful time making it to his interview from Afghanistan. He was hitting all kinds of police blocks, etc so he missed his medical exam and lost his police certificates en route. At the interview they just told him he would have to provide these things before the visa is issued. That's the story KS.
Oh Ok, Thanks for the reply
Hello People! I guess today IS a day for celebration!! I called DOS this morning and they said that our security clearance has completed!! since the 27th of June! So, according to that its already been a lil more than a week since the clearance was done. How long should be wait before calling Isl embassy? Andddd ... when should we expect our passport to arrive? We are soooo excited and scared at the same time, hoping keh we DO get our visa soon!
BTW ... Congrats to Zaki, KJO, and Zayed!!! Inshallah all of us will get our visas in hand soon!!

Personally, I would email the embassy for an update and see what they will tell you on your case. Wishing you all the best on getting a visa in hand soon.
Congratulations to Zaki, KJO, Zyead and Desperado. Also, lot of prayers for HP81 and Khurram.

Desparado,
If you want to try and call them do so but I know when I was in the processing calling the embassy was a joke. I was put on hold transferred to endless ringing and no one answering the phones. When I emailed them I had a reply the next day or the second day at the latest. Good luck.

I really agree with Mary on this one. Any communication with the embassy should really be by email. I have also found that calling DOS is helpful and gives some indication of what may be going on at the Embassy, mostly just clues, but it is better than being totally in the dark. It seems they update an interagency database fairly regularly. And they can tell you limited information in advance of what you may hear from the embassy.
Hope this is helpful.

hmmm... I agree with you guys about calling. I have been calling the embassy ... some days are better than others. My fiance emailed them like 3times and 2/3 time he never got any reply. But I will try emailing tonight and if no response by Thursday then I will try calling them. Thanks alot you guys for your input!!
KJO ... since our cases are VERY VERY similar .. I was wondering if you contacted the embassy and what did they say about sending the visa... and about how long it would take ...
