US Immigration from Pakistan

Hello I am a U.S citizen and I applied for my wife. We DQ October 10th 2020 and my Priority date April 14th 2021. I just found out my wife is pregnant with our 1st child, what should I expect in-terms of immigration issues and when can I expect an interview date from NVC at Islamabad embassy.

Thank you !

Hi,

Interview date:03-25-2021

Status: Decision pending

Hi VJ'ers,

Hope you all are staying safe. Here's a background of our story. Please keep in mind we sent an inquiry every 60 days and got the same AP response from the embassy.

10/17- Applied for father's ir5

2/18- Interview at Islamabad Embassy in Pakistan, result AP followed by DS-5535 which was filled and sent back the following day

4/19- second interview at ISL Embassy with updated medical- updates on ceac made but no visa issuance, still AP

1/21- we requested for his passport back since he was needing it to travel and attend to business, passport received, case still in AP

3/21- Latest CEAC update on case (under AP still)

4/1/21- Today, the case on CEAC updates to EXPIRING SOON

We emailed the embassy today that we are awaiting for the AP to end and for the visa approval, not sure why its "expiring" due to their own delays.

I know factors like the pandemic and changes in the US Administration are factors which can add to the delay, and Islamabad is notorious for long dreadful APs. Do you guys think its time we do a mandamus?

I'm currently waiting on my husband's visa interview...we have had a lengthy process that included submitting a hardship waiver...thankfully that was approved in October 2020 now today our Montreal consulate asked us to submit form DS 5535. Has anyone had any experience with this...how long can it take for approval and will this be the final step before visa issuance???

Hi Everyone! My parents got their tourist visa sometime in october 2018 and I believe it was valid for 5 years (valid until 2023). They came to USA in April 2019 and stayed less then 6 months and went back to Pakistan. They wanted to travel again in 2020 but then covid started and they decided to wait.

At the end of 2020, the passports got burned in the housefire and they lost pretty much very thing they belong. They did file police report and got all the paper work related to housefire. They did get new Pakistani passport but they are having hard time to figure out how to get the visa reissued in their new passport. They dont want to apply as a new application for visa because they are not sure if there is a different process for reissuance of visa or they just need to apply again as a fresh applicant.

If anyone has gone through the similar circumstances then please advice whats the best course of action for them to take?
