No not days I wish that's the case but he said 3to4 weeks,and yes a white paper saying that congratulations you have all the requirements for visa approval.

Did you check on the NVC status page? If they gave your wife that her visa is approved you should get the passport in less than a week.

It actually happened to me back in 2016. I got my visa within a week after the interview. I dont know if its a norm or I just happened to be lucky but mostly it does take between 1 to 4 weeks.

Out of the 30 people i know in real life that came to USA from pakistan it took them all 2-3 weeks but yah i guess in 2016 it was different.

You both are right but yes some people are just lucky in this painful journey of immigration I know my relative's sister just had her interview on July 5 and got her passport on 10 July  and her brother with same ir1 category waiting for his passport since 4 months so what you call it 🤔 we can just pray 🙏🏽🤞

Hi @podeena I'm having a similar situation - my husband had his interview in March and he still hasn't gotten his passport. After they interview they gave him a "congratulations" paper so we assumed we'll get the passport back in time. We still haven't 4 months later and his medical will expire at the end of August....when we inquire - the email from ISL says "your case is awaiting counselor review." Is that the same as AP??

What does your husbands case say on CEAC? it seems like its in AP, sad truth is many men end up in AP while many women dont end up in AP because embassy knows 90% of pakistans females stay at home and dont have much of a background to check while men do. My sister husband had his interview in 2022 April 27 and they gave him 221g form basically he failed and than responded to him on 2023 March and told him we are reviewing your case and than in May 2023 they told him to redo medical because it expires 6 months and he did did his medical again June 2023 and now its been 1.5 month they havent responded to him. So my sister husbands been stuck in AP since April 27, 2022. Like i said many men get to AP and many women dont get into AP.

Poodena, can you ask your wife who interviewed her? Was it a female and if yes was it a chubby female or skinny?

google NVC case status, it will open NVC page. You enter your case number and it will show if you are in AP

Folks, this legal-immigration process is dysfunctional at best and broken at worst.  The tension and frustration become unbearable, seemingly with no way to fight against it or relieve it.  Please remain unfailingly supportive of each other.  Remember that if you hold one pencil and snap it, it will break; conversely, if you hold a handful of pencils and try to snap them, they'll remain undamaged.

Remember, too, that those of us who are finished with this infernal process are hoping and praying for your progress almost as intensely as you are.  You're not alone, and you're never forgotten.  Take comfort and find renewed strength in this.
