On march 30 my husband went for his interview in Islamabad. The officer told my husband your good and took his passport and told him he should be receiving his passport 2-3 weeks and gave him a white slip 221g. On the white slip it they marked administrative processing. I wonna know how long would it take for his visa to be issued? Please anyone let me know me and my husband are really frustraded.

It is quite common for males from your country to be put on AP for extra security checks after the interview. There is no way of knowing how long it will take; it could be a couple of weeks, months or even a year or more, though the last is rare.
