Had interview 4/9/19 at Islamabad

[F&S2018 31]

Hey everyone!

so my husband had his interview at Islamabad and it went very well! He was asked a few questions and the CO was very nice. They asked him what my name was, and how we met, and asked if he had any pics of us and how often we talked. She then said ok thank you and then handed him a paper that had pick up locations and how to set up courier service and she did mention they’d email him within a couple weeks. He got no token or any slip but kept his passport just curious if anyone else went through something similar and how long it took! THANKS

The consulate kept his passport?  If so, that is a great sign!!!

Administrative Processing happens to everyone.  It could just be a few days or weeks while they print and affix the visa.   Watch for updates and status changes.   Did they actually say "approved" or just "thank you"?   Give it some time and try to relax.

They gave him our pictures back and took his passport and his passport size photos and said thank you and we’ll send you an email with instructions about your visa and gave this.

Maybe your husband should have asked them if they have approved the visa?

Yeah but he didn’t really get a chance and the only thing she said was everything looks good and handed him a paper on how to register for courier service for return of visa

Just  keep praying that  he gets no e-mail from the embassy  till Thursday night, then you will see printed on Friday. IA

 

I hope so inshAllah! we've been reading online about others who got no token and no 221 slip and they were told everything is ok and "looks good" and then a few days later their AP status changed to issued so we're just praying we dont have a long wait ahead

keep checking the status.. it'll soon change from "Immigrant Visa Application" to "Non-Immigrant Visa Application".. once you see that, it'll just be a day or few days until it'll say issued. Good luck!!!

If they have kept his passport that is a good sign. Had my interview in Islamabad embassy too.  But it was in 2016 they had put me in AP for about two weeks and then issued my visa.

Hopefully he gets his visa soon, he got no token and no 221 slip either but they did give me a sheet on registering for courier service and the lady told him we will email u for updates on ur passport/visa.

SOOOOOO 2 days after my husbands interview we received an email just like the lady had told him, it was a questionnaire for additional information. they provided us an email address that we copy and paste and send an email and submit our answers in text form. anyone else go through something similar? I just wish this wait isnt as long as the wait we had to go through to even get our case approved and sent to NVC that felt like a lifetime😢

Ugh...Unfortunately after filling out the questionnaire it's a lengthy wait.  We filed ours October 30th and are still in AP many have been waiting a year and some 20 months or more.  I was afraid of this when you mentioned getting an email in your original post but was hoping I was wrong.

 

We had many updates after submitting the form and many even in a row but they have slowed down the past few months.  Now our case only updates when we inquire through the embassy.

 

Here is a thread of many others who have had to submit the questionnaire.
