Hi all members.



I wanna share with you something that made me surprise. I got two e-mails in ten days. It is as followings:



First e-mail: 21 October. 2015



Dear Sir/Madam,



Our record indicates that this case is in its final processing/review. Please feel free to check back with our office after 4 weeks.



==============================================================================================================




Second E-mail: 30 October, 2015



Dear Sir/Madam,



Our records indicate that the visa application for this immigrant visa case is still pending under administrative processing. Unfortunately, it is not possible for us to predict how long this processing may take. The wait could possibly be quite lengthy. However, please rest assured that as soon as this processing is finished, we will contact the applicant using the contact information he/she has provided on his/her application. Thank you for your kind understanding.



If the applicant has not heard from our office after six months, please contact our office again using the web-based email form available on the website of the American Embassy.



=================================================================================================================





What do you think about these e-mails? I really shocked. It seems that they are playing games with the people. :(

First please fill in your timeline. It's very helpful when you have questions and will help get more detailed and correct responses.

Sounds like your in Administrative Processing (AP). Very common especially for Pakistan. Please check the Pakistan forum many others are in the same situation.
