i am in a very bad situation, i had my interview on 20th april 2006, my i -130 interview, my wife is a USC.

at the end of the interview i was told i ll have to wait for some clearnace, just 2 fingerprints were taken off me , of both index fingers.

they asked me to wait for 45 days but its been more than 100 days now , i have not heard anything from embassy, each time i call them they say its under process. i called up DOS in washington on the 50 th day and inquired they said the clearnace was done but they ve found some info on my case and it again went for a re review.

the next day my wife called them to inquire and they told her tht the case is not with them call up islamabad. the following day i called up DOS again and inquired i was told the case is under review, i dont know why DOS have two different stories for wife and husband?

now just a week back my wife called up USCIS to inquire and was told the case is in not with them and he cannot tell anything on the phone and she will recieve a letter from USCIS in 30-40 days , but then my wife called up DOS and inquired they had the same story tht case is not with them.

could you please tell me wat to do and whom shall i contact ? plz..

I responded to you on your ISL pakistan thread.

let me tell you AR/AP can last

17 days- 2 years.

at this pint you been on it less than 90days. nothing you can do anyways. just wait it out.

the average wait time is 6 months.

I don't know if this will work or not but you might want to ask your wife to try contacting congress(wo)men and or senators? I mean, it can't hurt right? I have heard that it works -- at least you will get the real scoop on your case?

Hang in there buddy...

I dont think you should involve congressman until you have waited at least 3 months or longer.

then they will get annoyed. if your gonna bump up your interview date thats diffrent..

when you call DOS ask the status of the case. listion carefully they say things that dont make

sence. The talk in Batman Riddles. if you dont understand the agent- hang up and try again.

vj membas from pakiland plz hit me up i want to share experiences with yall and each others

and wen eva i email embassy they come up with this same std reply as if they copy n paste it to all replies:

Dear Sir,

Your case is undergoing an administrative processing. It is difficult for us to predict the time, however, we will contact you as soon as it has been done.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards,

Immigrant Visa Unit

yea but the last email rep was kinda strange it was like this:

Our record indicates that this case is still undergoing additional necessary administrative processing as part of the security clearance procedure. Visa applicants affected by additional screening should expect delays before the case is concluded. It is difficult to predict the amount of time that the clearance process will take. As soon as it is complete, we will contact you for continued processing of the visa application.

Sincerely,

IV Unit

US Embassy, Islamabad.

been on AP/AR for over 4 MONTHS NOW!!!

129 days toal so far since we've been on AP/AR.

i call DOS 4 times a week, every week, and get the same response

'your husband is still undergoing security checks, there is no more background information we can give at this time'

#######!!

i ask them the following questions every time:

- what is the status of case?

- has the cable been sent to embassy?

- what/how many security checks are pending?

- which checks has he passed?

- i am his wife, why can't you look at you other screens and look for useful info to give me?

i've spoken to all the different operators, barbara, rose, etc and they all give me the same info:

i don't know...... i can't give you that information........we don't have that information now....

are there any other questions i can ask? have you all been getting the same responses from DOS when you call up and ask about your cases? can DOS tell me what check my husband is on (ie check #1 2 3 or 4)???

please help molly!! lol
