I have a good news from my side today. I sent email to US embassy yesterday and receive reply

"Please contact with American Express after three days for collection of your passport and visa packets."

At last the process is going to end. Thanks for all of your help especially Marry.

Zaki

Zaki Congrats!!!! :thumbs: I really think all this is because they got a new Ambassador in March. It seemed like before then, things were moving at a snail's pace or not at all.

I have some good news too. Looks things are really moving!!! We got this from the Embassy today. We knew that we still had these things pending. We are just excited that they are asking him to bring the passport. :dance:

"Dear Applicant,

Please be informed that we are ready to continue processing your case. However, as we go ahead with this, we would like you to submit a new Police Clearance certificate from Peshawar, a new medical report and your passport.

You can come to our office any working Monday, between 08:00 to 10:00 am with these items and a copy of this message and submit them. We look forward to seeing you come to our office with these documents.

Yours truly,

Immigrant Visa Unit"

I am curios when was your interview that they are asking for these three things again?

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

Hey everyone, my wife had her interview this morning and sounds like everything went smooth. After a few general questions about me, what I do, where I live, hobbies, favorites, etc. The forms were collected and she was given a pink slip to hand over when she picks up her passport. They told her congratulations, she's approved. They did not mention any AR/AP, but did take all of her fingerprints. They also told her that she should recieve her passport within a week or two. I'm verrrry happy yet a little confused, cause based on what I read, everyone got the pink slip and fingerprints even the AR/AP ones????? Well, I hope she will get her passport & visa soon.

Again, I'd like to thank everyone on this board for their support, feedback, and continuious updates.

If anyone who has went through this, and can answer the whole pink slip question, while stating that she will recieve her passport in a week or two...., I'd appreciate it.

Congrats. If they did not give her any paper specifically stating AP/AR, then I think you are good.
