AP for 2 years

[S and S always 0]

Dear VJ members,

I originally made this account when I was in the process of bringing my fiancé to the US.

I just had a question about an f4 visa (brother of US citizen).

My mom’s brother had an interview in Islamabad Pakistan 2 years ago (but he lives in Kabul Afghanistan with his family). At the time my mom applied for her brother there was no embassy in Kabul, but now there is.

So currently all my mom’s brothers information is in Islamabad Pakistan.

When he had the interview 2 years ago they took his afghan passport and we check his case status on the visa website and it still says AP. However, there are two others beneath that case (same case

number but one is 01 and the other two are 02 and 03). This is how it looks like (I did not put the case number for privacy reasons):

Case number Status

ISL********** 01 ISL Administrative Processing

ISL********** 02 ISL Ready

ISL**********03 ISL Ready

The last time it was updated was on January 23, 2013. And my mom applied for her brother in 2000.

My mom’s brother also has a wife and one child. But my mom never applied for them. I was thinking the ready was maybe for them but idk.. please give me your ideas. What do you guys think?

My questions are:

1. Why does it say AP for one and ready for the other 2?

2. He has been in AP for such a long time….2 years now. What should we do? We have been checking status online and calling DOS. My mom even asked our state senator to look into the case too.

My questions are:

1. Why does it say AP for one and ready for the other 2? The first one has to be the main person on the petition. Are the other (2,3) children of the beneficiary? Because this is how mine looks as well. 2 & 3 on mine are for my fiance children although we are not taking them with us at this time they were still included in the case. Ready means that they are ready to be interviewed. Even if there is no plan for them to be which was our case. Nothing will be issued to anyone as long as the case is in AP.

2. He has been in AP for such a long time….2 years now. What should we do? We have been checking status online and calling DOS. My mom even asked our state senator to look into the case too. Has anyone contacted the Embassy? Although DOS can give case information, that is really all they can do once the case is at the Embassy.
