It sounds like you are in administrative processing/administrative review

common with people from Pakistan

Sorry, nothing you can do but wait while they do additional background checks

Good luck

hi saima your status show that your husband apply for F1 visa i think your husband is student and your husband is apply for F1 visa basically F1 visa is non immigrant visa Most Important Remember: first of all your husband case is in AP and the secound things is That F-1 visa is a "Non-Immigrant Visa"! and your husband case is in back ground check which mean they gather imformation about your husband intend to immigrate usa for perment basic or not untill they not satisfy that your husband is not intent to immigrate usa they cannot issue your husband visa This is the most important point we can make. If the USA embassy thinks for any reason that your husband plan to immigrate to the USA, they will probably deny your visa. Second, remember that your husband cannot legally work in the USA with an F-1 visa! (There are exceptions, see Can I work in the USA?) So the result is: Do not give the embassy any reason to think you will immgrate to the USA; and, do not tell them that you plan to work in the USA.

But my university has offered me job!

That is OK, and you can count the income from that job in you financial resources (section 8b on your I-20). You can work up to 20 hours a week for your school, but you can only count that income on your I-20 if the school has offered you a job, and the school must put that income on the I-20. If there is nothing listed on the I-20, you cannot count it. iam able to tell you about your case because i saw your F1 visa status in your profile and please update your time line and tell me you apply for your husband for F2 VISA OR your husband apply for his own F1 VISA for him self

Hang in there, as you know things are in an upheaval right now. It is common for a male from a Muslim/Middle Eastern country to have AP though yours seems to be going a bit long. If it has been more than 6 months try contacting your local congressman and have them make an inquiry. NOTE: They cannot speed up the processing but they can at least make sure the file isn't just sitting somewhere forgotten. And it provides some comfort to you knowing your case is being worked on.

Good luck and hoping you hear soon.
