I dont think the delay is anything to do with your indiscretion and subsequent caution.

More to do with them requiring extra security checks due to your place of birth being, and having lived in, pakistan. Unfortunate,but there is nothing you or your wife can do about it except wait.

Thanks for your helpful thoghts.as i know that its really hard to know the time period of AP but the thing that is stressing me alot is not the AP but its a caution,i dont know will i be ok or not cause i never been in prison but this caution comes in the category of CIMT,so that makes me stress that what will be the outcome.I appreciate your ongoing help and useful thoughts...thanks once again...

London always does AP for those born in Pakistan. Your wait seems to be over the extra security checks involved. If you have a common name, it makes it harder to determine clearance. They will not give information on what they are checking, why, or how much longer, even if you call every week. . I don't understand how you will get your passport to London when they are done with the AP if you have returned to Pakistan. Did you have your case transferred to a consulate in Pakistan. Does London know you are no longer in the UK?

Thanks for your quick response.just to clear you that i start my process from pakistan and i left UK last year i had my interview in US EMBASSY ISLAMABAD,yes its a common factor that AP in pakistan can goes upto years and i can see alot of vj members in pakistan they are in AP upto 2 years and 3 months and still going on,regarding my passport cause i had my interview here in pakistan so at the end of interview he CO kept my passport aswel.but my name is not common at all in pakistan you can only find few name that are liberal one of them is me,every time same response from embassy and DOS pending AP.online status on ceac.state.gov site changes every week some time twice a week,my only concern is not long AP but iam much worried about that caution that it might make harder for me to get visa,but on the other side i never been to prison,so i dont know wat will be the outcome...

iam really thank full to you and the MINdTHEGAP for helping me regarding this situation.....once again thankx

i hope this explaination will help you to give me some advice.normally us embassy in pakistan is common for long AP.plz share ur kind thoghts...thanks

So did you send the missing documents? If not, they may be waiting on you. Did you send a memorandum of conviction or court records detailing the incident. A caution is a plea of guilty that is handled without a full court trial. It is an admission of guilt, not just somebody saying you were naughty and don't do it again.

Your extended wait may not be because of the caution. We're you born in a country other than the Uk? Do you have family ties in the middle east or India or Pakistan? Are you Muslim?

just want to ask you that that il be ok or im in trouble coz i never been to prison nor fined please help me regarding this matter.....thanks waiting for ur kind response....

hello all uk vj members i got caution from uk police in 2009 reason is i used to work for a online company based on gumtree offered me to cash there traveler's cheque on percentage i was jobless i never knew that they are fake so when i went to american express in city center give them to the person on the counter he asked me for a wait after few miniutes police arrived they took me police station and kept there for few hours,i told them whole the story and they gave me the caution.now iam worried about that on my ACPO police certificate it says in the column of offense MAKE FALSE REPRESENTATION TO MAKE GAIN FOR SELF OR ANOTHER,,.i m much worried about that as i checked on the google it comes in the category of fraud,i had my interviw in sep 2012 and still in AP please give your opinion that i will be able to get visa or not because it comes in the category of CIMT,but on the other side i only got caution never been to court or convicted,,,your opinions will be greatly appreciated....

A caution will be fine, most only get refused with prison time of a year or more.

thank you so much for ur kind response..got some relief....

Maybe posting this in the regional MENA forum will get better answers from people going through AP in Pakistan
