Congratulations! Can you please tell me which lawyer did you hire and how much did he charge you?

My wife's case has been stuck in Ready status since her interview (Feb 7, 2020). She was approved but was later asked to submit her old passport. Since then no updates. We sent the inquiry to embassy and their response document received but haven't been reviewed yet . I'm thinking of filing a WOM. Do you know how long you need to wait for it before you can file it?

They usually say 7 to 14 days but I think it varies.  My husband spoke to a gentleman today who had his oath and fingerprints on the 28th and received his visa today so it should be soon. 

you got visa too? Congratsss! ❤️

Thanks... It was james hacking..and he charged $4000 plus $100 consultation fee. You should at least wait a year before filing but you can consult with lawyer for further information.

Embassy finally response me today for my mother case... 😍😍....while my father case is still in AP...🙄🙄

 

Thank you for your query. Your request has been forwarded to a Consular officer for review and they will contact you with further guidance regarding your mother's visa. Note: You may still experience a delay with this admin process as our records indicate that approval is pending to process her case separately. If they are split then there is a chance that the officer will ask for further documents to complete her process. 

Please be prepared to experience significant delays in visa issuance.  As of March 17, 2020, the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad suspended routine visa services due to COVID-19 concerns and severely reduced staffing.  We will resume routine services as soon as possible but are unable to provide a specific date at this time.  If you do not hear anything from our office within 6 months of this response, please send us a follow up inquiry.

Hey guys.. My fiancé received a call from the embassy today around 3pm. But he was asleep and missed the call as he work for an American company so his schedule runs on American hours.. 

But he also received an email asking for a second “fresh”(that’s what it says in the email lol) medical and 2 visa sized photographs. 
But no other information. It doesn’t say how to submit them. Where to submit them etc. just asks for you these 2 things to proceed forward. We have been in AP since October of 2019. 
He is super nervous and is mad at himself because he wasn’t awake to answer the call 😬 he called back when he did wake up and they told him that he would probably receive another call and also to call back tomorrow morning and that they would find the CO who called him.. 

 

If any of you guys have submitted a second medical and/or photographs, how have you submitted them? 
I’m hoping that tomorrow he is able to receive more information. 😰

You submit them at the appointment.   Does the email mention an appointment?

 Send an inquiry.  They gave us a date for oath and fingerprints and asked us to provide those on that day.  Aziz medical center also had to confirm with the embassy ahead of time before scheduling the visit.
