3 months completed

what happened Kamran ? did you get any email or letter from embassy ?

or contacted anybody like senator or congressman ?

all of my family members and relatives choose Country Inn Aabpara Market 12 mins away from Embassy also rates are cheap and if you choose room for 2 persons and you have more family members they will give you free beddings for that.

I recommend you Country Inn. rest upto you

Hi bro. All you need to do is to follow the instructions which they have provided you in the interview letter.

Also whatever documents they have requested to bring with you, still take every single document which you have already provided to them.specially wedding pics and wedding invitation cards etc.

Also make sure your wife knows where you work, since how long you have been in Usa. Where you live. Who attended the wedding. How many times you have visited her.how was your marriage formed like it was arrange or love . If arrange how your family met each other. When was the first time you met each other means you and your wife. Also they might ask about your finances from your wife like who is supporting you and if you are supporting show some western union receipts.

I will update you if I remember something else.

i think you are right MERC

Yes bro because i had to contact my friend to get the status of my wife AP status, as at the time of her interview Consular told her that you are approved and you will receive the visa within 7 to 10 days . And when i didn't heard anything from embassy i contacted senator and through senator they told me that my wife's case is in AP.

So i was like what the heck !!!!

Then i called my friend to check with his friend what does that mean and even when i contacted DOS they said we don't have any information that your case is in AP.

So then my friend contacted his friend who is FSO (Foreign Service Officer) at UAE Embassy , and told him about my case, he said not to worry about.

Once they have approved and they didn't provided you any AP Form you are good its just some Embassy Level Processing, so no need to worry about that.

which contains Visa processing , getting A Num from USCIS and Printing DOS forms which they have to put into that sealed envelope and etc.

(REMEMBER NO CHECKS)

He also told that Islamabad embassy have burden of work due to closure of Lahore embassy . So they are taking care all of those cases as well as

current cases from all categories.

So he said just hold on and wait for few more days no need to worry about ...

Then i was like Thank God ! : )

Finally after few days we got the news .. Visa Issued.

So just hold on Brother !

Inshallah you will get the good news soon.

Administrative Process (AP) is not just printing of visa and documents as many are issued the same day visa. It's a lot more than that. Its more like a detailed background check and in depth review of facts along with interview answers to determine if the case is genuine. It's different for each person / situation. That's why it takes some people more just a few weeks while other in some cases are on AP for two years.

The detailed one is from DOS amd the one I told you is for embassy level.

I have confirmed this through one of my friend's friend. As he is FSO and works in UAE embassy.

Means just admin work processing and printing of visa and documents

Just wait few more days and you will Inshallah get the good news

Congrats Waseem !

They will take 2 business days . But second day try to call your self and ask them about your passport.

There is a sheet attached on the top of sealed envelope.

Also you can find that registration number on your visa.

well the doctor at Agha Khan said if you dont have any vaccination record then you need to get all vaccinations.

Thats great !

Yes bro its pending . Once wife will submit the sealed envelope to immigration officer then they will process the rest of the part

Did you received the sealed envelope ?

there is a immigrant data sheet attached to the sealed packet . The Alien number is mentioned there on the top.

Also i have verified my old immigrant visa and its the same registration number what i have on my permanent resident card which is also called green card.

Yes Usman bro ! Thats how I have paid my wife's immigrant fee.

you guys are all wrong. I just talked to the lady at uscis she said its not on the I-130 approval letter. its on the letter of packet that we recieece with the visa. but its a seperate sheet with the a number on it.

also if we dont find that then we can wait when she arrives and they will stamp it in her passport

Yes Usman Bro ! you will find that number on the Visa , if you look on top right of the Visa you will see DOS Number , which is your case number.

and if you look down to that case number you will find registration number , that is your Alien Registration Number.

You just need to add A0 in the start of your registration number.

for example A012345678.

Takes 2 business days from the date of status changed to issued

Thats true if they dont call you , you need to call them by yourself !

Alhamdulillah, visa ISSUED!!!

Jboss kia bola tha !

L37 no need to worry about ! just wait for a month or two and you will get the Visa !

they are doing this to almost every one . As we had the same situation as well as few more members here . No colored Slip nothing !

Consular Congratulated and told us that you will get your passport within 7 to 10 days .

We just got our passport today exactly after 2 months.

So no need to worry about just relax and enjoy !

Most of the time people get their Visa within a month.

So just pray thats all !

Congrats Usman!!!

hey JBoss now its your turn bro !!!! keep praying

Thanks Kamraan ! Inshallah your visa is on its way

Exactly after 2 months in Ap they issued Visa. But in my case the consular told my wife that she got approved and she will receive her visa within 7 to 10 days. After 10 days I contacted US embassy they told that the case is in AP.....

That was for my wife . Her status was ready since we got the interview letter and it changed from ready to AP just 1 day before they issued Visa
