[moneeb Iqbal 13]

it's been 10 months and still no approval we submit 3 inquiries we called them 4 time I just don't understand people from Europe they got approvals in 2 months and people from Muslim countries they are waiting since many months and years why ?

What country of chargeability?  Is the petitioner a natural born USC or naturalized?

[Scandi 3,970]

The country could be a factor as to why it's taking longer since some countries don't keep very great records of their people, making the background checks so much more difficult and time consuming. If both the petitioner and beneficiary are from any of those more difficult countries then it can take a long time for USCIS to receive all necessary information.

Unfortunately, some countries require additional time for document checks, etc.

I don't think it is about country of specific religion, it all depends on various factors like the USCIS agent reviewing the case documents, US consulate where the case is sent, human error, discrepancy in the submitted documents etc.

Without knowing your country .. it’s not due to the Muslim religion... it’s due to the fact that many Muslim countries are very lax in their documents (easily to obtain fraudulent docs), many Muslims have the same names (making background checks difficult) and history of using said fraudulent documents to commit terrorist acts...

So partly your governments fault and partly your fellow countryman fault..

That explains it. Anything Pakistan takes ten times longer than most other cases. You haven't experienced anything yet, wait until you get to the embassy step and end up in Administriative Processing for the longest time.

And Pakistan is a country with poor records and document control.  It has a weak passport and very few countries offer Pakistani passport holders entry without a visa or even allow visa on arrival.  Only 3 countries are "worse"

Doesn't matter if Pakistan is a Muslim country, a Jewish country, a Christian country and so on. It's the poor record keeping that is the issue, not the religion.
