Do you think it will work ??  I twice contacted with my senator but every time i got reply which was nothing different from embassy..

No guarantees but you are way past the 30 day mark they have set after document submission. Have you been seeing your case dates updating or is it not moving at all ? If you have seen updates without inquiries after submitting documents it means they are working on the case for sure

AP (i.e background/security checks) is the period of time before the visa is issued, before a decision is made.  How did they travel without a visa?

 

 

He had a valid student visa and got a job under it and his case was being adjudicated for a different category which was in AP. His job allowed him to travel back to USA. I don’t have the specifics of the case which is why I adviced this student visa case guy to reach out to the lawyer and ask.

I mean just what I said, in response to the person who suggested asking a lawyer if AP can be completed once in the USA.  That's not how that works.

How can you be so sure? I know someone who got sponsored by a company while being in AP and travelled to USA.

News to me as I have never heard of it. How long have you been waiting since submission of second medical and pics ?

Any recent updates from ISB embassy. We have been under AP since June 28 with no updates. Uploaded documents long back.

We had second medical and pics requested. We have been waiting for almost a week now and see no update. They also state not to reach out for at least 4 weeks from the doc submission date. 

Also I have been in AP since last year August.

Has anyone ever been asked to send a DS-5535 a second time? This happened to me, and it's been a few months since the first one was sent - what's the reason for this?

are you the only applicant? Did you miss out anything in the first inquiry?

If you get an update on ceas on Saturday... What does it mean?? My son,s case updated on 31st August ..

From following this website for a while, i have learned that if you see more than one update within a week, it always points to an outcome or communication from the embassy.

they have my families passports becasue i recalled my passport when the AP begun last year so i can travel to finish my college. Yes ill be working 

Ask a lawyer if you can travel to USA and they can complete your AP process there as your employer will probably be sponsoring you till then. Again, in your circumstance, i highly suggest reaching out to a lawyer for an opinion.

Im not worried about not being able to travel. I'm wondering if i travel now, wuld that affect my AP like would it stay longer in AP because i travelled. Im in a tricky situation where If i dont travel soon my job will be gone and ill be only relying my sponsorship visa which im not sure when is gonna come in. do you think second medical means, they are ready to issue visa?

Well if they had your passport, i would think so. Are you going to be working in USA?

Just now, dera1234 said:

Appreciate your reply. They dont have my passport although they have my family's passports. I went to a college in USA and have a job lined up through work authorizaton that is granted to internstionl students. If this this takes too long and they havent called my passport yet, I might miss on the job opportunity

interesting. So your case may be different. Are you travelling to USA? IF they havent requested your passport yet, it might mean something different. 

If you are travelling to USA for a job opportunity that you have won already and have a valid visa, why wouldnt you be allowed to travel? I would consult a lawyer in your circumstance instead of relying on people on this forum for input because your travel seems to be dependent on your career and i would hate for you to trust the word of someone like me who isnt a lawyer. 

Just now, dera1234 said:

Can i travel during the wait without any repercussions?

I would wait if this was their second medical request and they have your passport in hand. You will have to request passport back for international travel.

At the end of the day, it all falls in your lap. You can ask this yourself. Would you be able to wait for up-to 45 days or rather have needs to travel due to reasons beyond the scope of this topic.

I submitted my medical this past friday the 23rd aug so def no too long ago

Average time i have seen per the threads here is that it may take the embassy anywhere from 2 weeks to 45 days but this is just a figure based on what i have observed. I wouldn't say it to be a realistic value to be dependent on as it could vary from case to case.  So relax and see what happens in the next few weeks .

You can contact aeg to confirm the delivery as they ship your docs to them. Hopefully you shipped the docs using AEG

UAN: 111 234 111

Hi guys, does anyone know after submitting second medical to American embassy in Islamabad, how long they take to issue the visa?

 

how long have you been waiting since submitting your medical if you dont mind me asking?

Another roadblock incoming that could affect people with health issues and parents/older relatives as well 

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/08/12/politics/legal-immigration-public-charge/index.html

Has anyone who resubmitted medical upon embassy request have had luck in getting a visa? Trying to understand a fair estimate of timeline.

How would approaching a representative be appropriate here?  That poster needs to find out how to do what the embassy has asked for, which is to provide photos.  Congressional representatives cannot and do not get involved in the minutiae of consular processes, including vetting and security checks.  

What are you talking about lol.. read the forum carefully before responding of what that person was told to do before I posted this 😂

Have you approached your representative? Do your parents have a lot of travel history?

Hello all, my parents have been asked to resubmit photos and medical to US embassy Islamabad. How do we get these photos over to the embassy? There was no instructions in email. 

Our case is in Pakistan
