I got a reply from the embassy today saying "Admin processing is still processing. Your submitted documents received and now pending for a review." I am a little confused now

Khurram, I think the Isb embassy has just recived your wife's file from the US(I think electronically). They will review it now and hopefully, your wife will get the visa. Good luck!

This just means that it's under Administrative processing at the embassay level, Inshallalh they will approve her visa soon after the review is completed. Good Luck!

Now we had to file for a adjustment of status so any brother like to tell me what is the procedure to file for AOS and what documents require for filing of Adjustment of Status on K-1

Well, I am happy to annouce my wife has finally made it here. She received her K-3 visa (passport and paperwork packet) on Sept 28. That is 13 working days (or 17 days) from the interview date, where they told us 7-10 days. By the grace of Allah, her POE experience was very smooth, infact we were done in 10 minutes. The border agent did not ask any questions from her, just from me as I had filled out the customs card and put my information on it. All in all a very smooth and pleasant experience. Wishing all folks, all the best and a speedy reunion with their loved ones. Thanks for all your support.

Congratulations!

thanks Mary, and all

As u know my CR1 interview in London on 9th of November 2007 , but when I checked the Islamabad forum there is a list who are stuck with AP (administrative process) after their visa approval , is that mean every one (Pakistani) have to go through the Administrative Process with all US embassies ? Or is that only in Pakistan?

[faal4anisa 0]

Hi Khurrum,

Thanks brothers for such a explicit information on Adjustment of Status and i be obliged if u tell me what the fees for Employment Authorised Document (EAD). Moreover i pray for your wife that she get visa soon and be with u, brother my name check was completed end of july and then finally i got a call end of september to collect my passport, visa and seal envelope.

My port of entry was at JFK it was nice and smooth but i had to wait a long for my turn otherwise it was nice now getting ready to get married my sweet fiancee and start our adjustment of status. Finally keep your finger cross and hopefully your wife get her visa soon and i can understand this waiting period as me too had to passed but once your journey is completer then all that waiting period becomes a sweet reminiscence

All Pakistanis seem to have some type of AR/AP and know of one in AP in Canada now but not sure how it will effect your case in the UK. Since 9/11 males have been enduring longer waits out of Islamabad than from other embassies. I always try to stay positive but not rosy and when I post a male will have AP as I try to make all persons realize that this can happen and not to make plans that can be an issue like purchasing plane tickets before they have the visa in hand. Good luck and praying all the best for your interview and no AP out of the UK or a shorter AP.

Thank you ver much and as far as the fees goes for EAD and the Travel document, they both are included in this new fees for AOS.

According to USCIS " If you filed a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, on July 30, 2007, or after, then no fee is required to file a request for employment authorization on Form I-765. You may file the I-765 concurrently with your I-485, or you may submit the I-765 at a later date. If you file Form I-765 separately, you must also submit a copy of your Form I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of the filing of an I-485."

Best of luck and feel free to ask any AOS questions as I have doing this research so I can file for my wife ASAP (Inshallah) after she gets here.

Khurram
