What is A-Number A000-000-000
Alien registration number.
A unique seven-, eight- or nine-digit number assigned to a noncitizen at the time his or her A-file is created. The 9-digit U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services number listed on the front of Permanent Resident Cards.

Agreed.
But still, it should not take that long (2 years) to investigate as in case of Soccer.Player and EAbbas.
If the CO see SAO (security advisory opinion) and they are some hits from any of the database, they send the case to DC for further process. They involve many agencies to do work on the case and the are various checks. As there is no common database, it takes time to do the process. Its not possible for them to predict time of completion. They will scrutinize every single information they have.
2 Years are really long. My personal advice is to challenge the government, i guess the term is called WRIT OF MANDAMUS.
I am also in AP for over 10 weeks now. According to my embassy, my case is undergoing ROUTINE
administrative process. -
Just an hour ago, I listened to the live program on radio by U.S. Embassy, Islamabad where they had 3 visa experts answering to the questions asked on Facebook and questions asked by live callers. One guy asked a question regarding the Administrative Process and all the delay to which the expert only said that it is a normal thing and there is nothing to worry about. There is usually nothing wrong with the documents provided but they just need to verify few things at their end. No details were given and never got a reply to why and what causes so much delay in this Administrative Process.
One of the experts was a female Consul Officer who has served in India and Sri Lanka before being appointed to Pakistan Embassy said that she does not usually ask for much documents because if she asks someone whether they live on the Moon and if they can provide a proof, they will provide her such a document so she would rather rely on a face to face interview with the applicant depending how they can convince her and on her instinct. This may be true for herself but not all the Consul Officers are the same.
Sigh @ lack of manpower and inter-agency conflicts.
There are different agencies working in embassies like DHS, DS, ICE and DOS. The program is call VISA SECURITY PROGRAM (VSP) . The administrative process is done by them and there are conflicts in their opinions and i am not saying that it happens every time. Everything i said was mentioned in GAO. About man power, just study The reports about VSP and then u will know.

What should i do now and what is the difference between the two offices National Visa Center and Department of State, will the DOS will give me info? and what will be the timings to call them?
You should call DOS. NVC helps embassy in collecting and verifiying the documents prior to the interview. However after interview, DOS or embassy will be the only two place from where you can know the status of your case. Call the number after 6:30 PM pakistani time.

what kind of changes? for the better or making it harder?

I was talking about visa process part, not the whole petition n nvc n embassy process. There are trying to make it easier and better. I hope it will better to every1 of us. Here in UAE they are implementing the first phase of the change. Making NON-immigrant visa process easier and cheaper. Weeks after that they said they will change the IV process as well.
The whole AP process is slow because of man power and inter agency conflicts.

Hello everybody today i called NVC to ask about my AP Case status, i got a little shocking news, my interview was held on November 1st, 2012. The NVC officer told me that we dont have your case here, its in your local embassy (US Embassy Islamabad). So you should call islamabad, so now i m curious whether they not send my case yet even after 1 month and 10 days, Or Islamabad embassy doing confirmation on their own end... please need help and expert opinion
Most of the time they do AP at embassy like verification of documents and stuff. I read some interesting stuff regarding AP in articles about DHS and DOS. There are some reports as well. I will post them later. You shouldnt call NVC. Call DOS to check the status of your case. 202-663-1225 is the number.
I also came to know that there will be many changes in the visa process very soon.

My husband had his interview. After the interview, he received the refusal sheet, no items were marked as additional evidence being needed. The interviewer told him that she believed in our relationship and that in 3-6 weeks his number would appear for him to send his passport in again. I asked him if he was given any reason for the refusal, the response he was provided was that they needed to check up on one more thing. Has this happened to anyone else? What was the outcome? Any insight from anyone as to what they might possibly be looking into since they said we provided all evidence they needed and that they believed in our marital relationship?
I got the same kind of refusal sheet with nothing mark other than administrative process. I have been in AP for 10 weeks now. As per my embassy, its routine administrative process.

F2A (Male) Interview Nov 1st, 2012 (Result AP)... Very useful AP Tracker... dear i want to call DOS, what timing should i observe in Pakistan. when i should call i m not sure about their office timings, plz help anybody
Call them after 6:30 PM.

no you are wrong k1 is consider a non immigrant visa but have immigrant intent thats why on the other hand marrige visa dont have the same meaning thats why maybe its taking longer..
Oops. I stand corrected.
-
It looks to me like k1 applicants are getting out of AP a lot faster than IR-1/CR-1 applicants.......
It doesnt make any sense as both are immigrant visas.
But yea, K1 is faster than IR1/CR1.

Hello everyone,
I have a little doubt if my police clearance still ok on the day of my interview. the validity of my police clearance is until december 25,2012 and my interview is on december 23, 2012. I want to be sure on my interview that this is still ok. I hope anyone share your experience. Thanks a lot in advance.
Get a new certificate. If you tell them your problem, they will issue a new one.

1)when we had interview we got blue refusal sheet 221(g),that states that we need to do additional administrative process,but now embassy is saying pending AP.any one know the difference between these two?
2)how do they inform us that our AP is over?by e-mail or phone call.
3)is it ok to call or contact to ISL embassy or DOS as much as we can?
if any one have idea please share with me...i will appreciate that.
thanks to all in advance...
Answers:
1. Blue refusal sheet 221G means that they need to complete administrative processing on your case. Pending AP means that your case is still in administrative process.
2. Usually they do both. Otherwise they just send the passport with issued visa if they had kept your passport at the time of interview.
3. In my personal opinion, dont call embassy. You will get the same information from DOS. Just keep checking with them once a week.
I would recommend to involve Senator or congressman.
