US Consulate Islamabad AP update

[dera1234 0]

Hi! After 1 year of AP (family immigration case) since last interview and 3 submissions of medicals since the beginning, we got the call from embassy to take oath tomorrow on 14th feb. The tricky part is that our medicals are expiring on 20th feb. When embassy called to schedule a time for oath, they told us we will have to fly before 20th feb. Our interview/oath is tomorrow and im worried if embassy will be able to return our passports before 20th in order for us to fly (of course in case everything goes well and they issue us visa) my question is what questions should i ask the consular tomorrow to make sure they know how pertinent it is for us to fly by 20th.  anything we should be prepared for? can embassy stamp visa and give you passports right away during the interview day? 

 my brother lives in usa on a F-1 student visa since he goes to college. He especially came to pakistan for the oath interview. We are worried that if embassy cancels his student visa to issue the new immigration visa and then they send us passports later than 20 th feb ( when our medicals expire), he will not be able to fly back.

It is F3 family sponsorship case. Last interview was in December 2018. They put us in AP after we submitted DS5535 form information.

Oh okay, it usually takes longer in cases like these. Hopefully it’ll be resolved soon.

Guys ! Im in Ap since oct 2019 they asked me to upload my husbands recent tax return which i did and at that moment it was of year 2018 but now i have my husbands new tax return of 2019. Do you guys think I should send it as well ? And if yes then how thru AEG courier service or what ?

Neemo, I think you should not submit anything more unless they ask for it.  This is my personal opinion

Yeah, you may just wait to hear back from them first. Also, another question arise for me that I accompanied my wife to the interview and we were told to upload an additional document which we did on CEAC. Haven’t got too many updates or responses. If I didn’t go back since the interview can this be the reason why it may be taking long? To prove domicile ?

You should go back thats what i would suggest. My husband was with me at the time of the interview and they asked us domicile as well . So he went back and since then we are waiting

Problem is that we had a co sponser in 2018 tax return but Now my husband has enough amount in his 2019’s tax return To sponsor Me all alone. This can be the reasom of delay thats why we want to send it as well . Wht do u suggest?

So you had interview in October when did your husband go back? After he left was there any updates on the case? Basically after 6 months they ask the petitioner to be back to prove domicile.

Ok, don't submit anything unless they ask.  That's my opinion.
