The CEAC date will only change when someone from the embassy works on the case.

That is actually a hopefull sign. If they are planning on issuing the visa you should get a call from the embassy in a few weeks from the date of receipt of your paperwork for oath and fingerprints.

Our case several times updated when we called to NVC and this update was not from Embassy…

Besides my case was being updated on this CEAC website before my interview while Embassy had not called me for interview that time…and that time these dates were being changed by authorities from USA (US Deptts.) not from US Embassy Islamabad…correct me if I am wrong but I think this update is not only by US Embassy but several departments involved.

many people got updates on 11 March...seems to be they started working on old cases again

whenever they work case is updated no matter carried out from USA authorities or locally from US Emb Islamabad...

But few updates in a month are a good sign presenting the case is under process...

It expired on 26 feb 2015 n now they r asking for new medical

Is it possible that the visa is coming soon or just that the embassy need to keep my file up to date ??

sabirh...most probably u r gonna get visa issued...

ayeshashehzad,Aalipdx786 absolutely saying is right Saturday and the Sunday updates does means alot I have also seen positive activities In vj

history whoever had weekend updates I hope your visa coming very soon. insha allha I also pray for that please keep praying for all of us as well

Any updates guys ?

No brother...this month no update

status date updated today Saturday, I thought these people don't work on weekends. Strange...

Yes they work on saturdays and even on sundays some times and u r so lucky to get an update on saturday...VJ history shows that people who got updates on weekends specially on sundays received their visas very soon so I pray and hope inshAllah you will get your visa very soon...Plz remember us all in your prayers as well

I had a question, for people who had to submit a second medical, is the beneficiary contacted by phone or email or both?

u can expect both email and the phone call...mostly phone calls are being carried out through embassy in near past bcoz of work load on them...but they send email as well specially when we request them on phone for appointment reasons etc...

Visa issued alhamdolilah

Congratulations !!!

Yeah go ahead and do that

Did your DS 260 expire?

Yes my medical and DS260 expired already one year before...

Today we completed 18 months in AP...

Interview was 1st Aug 2013.

February 25 last update

I checked today and found update 26 Feb as well...any one else got update plzzz ?

Any one got updated ?

Any update guys?

No update...

Sometimes i think i made mistake and should have applied for fiancee visa instead and marry and do adjustment of status in america. Its easier to prove relationship here then abroad.

Yes...I agree with you here that K1 is better choice than IR1/CR1 Spouse category...

Few days before me and my wife were also discussing the same and we have 2 examples here on VJ who got visa under K1 category...One is Ahmad Jutt visa issued after 11 Months AP while other name is not in my mind who got visa after 4 months in AP...at least they got visas in short time than us...

At time of my interview also I noticed one boy looking from a village back ground near Multan city and was unable to speak Urdu well was on Fiance's visa...his interview took less than 5 minutes and CO retained his passport and said your interview is good and you will receive your passport within 2 working days...his fiance was his cousin as well from his father side...he was so happy and that's all...

I elaborated my experience and dunno if I am right or wrong but seems true that K1 is very flexible and convenient category than IR1/CR1(K3)

Do u know at what point did these men from

The embassy come to to talk to the neighbors? Thats such a true point, people even when they know information, they still dont want to talk because they get scared.

Our neighbors did great last year and they all told the embassy staff that they know we are married and living together and my wife was in Pakistan as well...

But they did not visit our home and left and still after that visit,One year has passed and we are still in AP...

Nothing can satisfy Embassy staffs perhaps...

No update...Last was 6 Feb...

looks like 300Despeate is gonna get ISSUED ...iA

Heartily congrats to Abdullahmemi on his visa

Dear yarm ! Ali any updates mine was stuck again !! Last Update was 7 nov 2014

No brother no update for me...iA your updates will start and get your visa very soon

Are they asking for renewal of his passport? Will he submit it back?

He is so confused and upset now bcoz his father recently passed away and he could not pay attention to this matter...but AMEX people told him to submit passport after renewal bcoz his case is under process with Embassy and he will have to pay Rs. 850/- bcoz he is sending renewed passport...thats all he knows...he is so desperate and doesn't write to Embassy

Thats what scares me now, that this case will linger on for a year or more, they will stop working on this case for a while now

I know one guy on VJ here...he is in AP for last 5 years... his wife is also native american and they visited his home 2 years after putting him in AP and then never came back or responded about what happened...recently Embassy returned his expired passport without any intimation or email and he just got a call from AMEX to collect his passport...

But in several other cases has been noticed that visa is issued so fast after field investigation...it depends on satisfaction of Embassy's staff after field investigation team's visit...

Be hopeful you will get visa iA...they are working on your case at least...

I dont think those scenarios match my case anymore, as they have started home visits

I need prayers badly now.

Now your scenario matches me bcoz we had afield investigation visit as well last year...My wife spent 10 months with me in her recent visit but Embassy's field investigation team went to wrong place and those neighbors there made them satisfied about our relation and marital information to be true and neighbors asked them to visit us where we are living and gave them our exact location...but they never came...they left satisfied and after their visit 8, more months passed...my wife sent them lot of emails to call both of us for a joint interview if they want but they never replied and she had to leave for USA 3 months before...now she is coming back to Pakistan again but we are still in AP...Total 18 Months in AP...

Be hopeful sister...we all are praying for you and you will get visa very soon iA

My husband got a call from the embassy just now, their trying to send a letter to him but cannot find his house which is weird, because hes registered with the american express office, i dont know why he cannot pick up his letter there, rhe man on the phone didnt say what the letter is about, but we are assuming he needs a fresh medical as it is going to expire in 2 weeks or so, has anyone had this experience where the embassy sends a letter to the applicant? I dont know what else it could be besides asking for a new medical. He has only been in AP six months almost since interview. Im worried

Be hopeful...iA everything will go well with you guyz...I had congratulated you in advance and today you guyz got a call...right...

on basis of my personal experience on VJ in 2 years several cases match the same scenario you are dealing with...most probably it wud be few more additional documents to fill up your file with...don't worry and pray...Almighty will help you

Also pray for AnF , Yarm, kaleem & Analyst who are really suffering in this trial of patience...

All bros & sis will come out of AP one day sooner or later iA

FOLKS DONT HAVE HIGH HOPES...UNTILL OR UNLESS YOU HAVE THE VISA IN HAND...

SINCE ALL ARE GETTING AUTO UPDATES BUT IT DOESNT MEANS THEY WILL BE ISSUING YOU VISA..

IT COULD BE JUST CASE REFRESHERS TO HAVE THE FILE UPDATED WITH FRESH MEDS N DOCS...

SO STAY PUT AND HAVE FAITH..

Analyst special prayers for u brother...
