Karachi_Guy

I remember you in my duas stay strong bhai

Jazak Allah brother and you and all brothers and sisters of AP are in my prays!!!!

no update....., last update 13th July 2015, 4 years in plain AP...........

some one please wake up US Embassy Islamabad CO's......

I want to tell you to not feel discouraged. Islamabad embassy makes so many couples wait years. You and your wife are not alone. Our case had many , many updates. during the years of waiting my husband had 3 interviews and 2 field investigations. We would get our hopes up after sending in documents or interviews or field investigations but still we had to wait. I don't know to this day why we had to wait so long but we had faith that someday we would get the visa.

Even when they ask for documents and medical it may not mean anything and the new medical expires. Maybe it is better not to spend that money for no reason. Your last update was July 13th. I pray they will work on your case some more and finish it.

thanks for your kind words and courage, you are such a brave lady and you always been very supportive for all AP members , thanks for your pray, that is what i need always.

my good wishes always with you and your husband!

I will have interview on 22 sep please guys pray for me..

This is my another case under f4 category....

good luck for your interview! inshaa Allah you will get your visa!!!

I am sorry that you and your wife have spent so many years in AP. We also spent many years waiting. Have they been updating your case at all and when was the last update?

Thank you so much Carolyn for your great sympathy!!!!!

Well this year they used to update my case status after one or two months, once or twice and then stop

last 3 years they used to update caste status after 6 to 8 months and in 2013 November December they updated my case 14 times

and after they went on sleep for many months.

this year my last update is 13th July.

Please remember me in your prayers!!!, Thanks.

KARACHI GUY CANU TELL WHAT IS YOUR STORY... ANY MEDICAL ASKD AND ANY SECOND INTRVEIW????????????????????

Dear Brother

My story is very simple, arranged marriage, I had one and only interview and medical in September 2011, interview was good and

CO last comment is " every things seems ok and you will get your visa one to six months he did not ask for any further documents etc.

since that day its been four years they did not ask for any thing and in first 2 years they used to official reply my emails but for last one and half year

we did not receive any reply from US embassy Islamabad, although we only send inquiry after 4 to six months.

very tired, very disappointing, very much stress and very hopeless feelings these days.........

Assalam-o-Alaikkum

First of all congrats to all brothers and sisters who got their visa in last few months as I am online after few months.....

my good wishes and prayers with all of you who are suffering in this painful period of AP.

my case last update was 13th July 2015 and i am in Admin Process since September 2011. my interview was good and CO said every thing seems ok and

you will get your visa one to six months.........and now its almost 4 years in AP....my wife is us citizen and case is IR-CR1.

I request you guys please pray for me as its just going to complete 4 years of my Admin process, in this whole period US embassy Islamabad

did not ask for any thing and for last one year they did not reply any of our email, my wife contacted to senator office but useless.

I request all of you brother and sisters please remember me in your prayers!!!!!!!! thanks alot.

Hey Everyone!

I am happy beyond words because by the grace of Allah my husband's AP has finally come to an end!! He was in AP for 2 YEARS AND 5 MONTHS!! Status turned into issued on May 22 right after he went for his fingerprints and oath on May 21! Me and including many others here know exactly how frustrating it is for everyone to be in this process especially when you are not being provided with answers. We were very patient and prayed, prayed and prayed. We have been married for 5 years and have a 3 year old son, so especially for people here with kids I pray that Allah ends this rough journey because I knew how hard it was to raise the child alone. I don't have a timeline but if anyone has any questions that I can help with I would be more then happy to answer them. I would like to say a special thanks to carolynnstuff for being really supportive with all my inquiries. Thank you visa journey, you have helped me a lot especially when I had to vent and once again I would like to make a special dua for all you that have been stuck in this process and that you all get issued a visa soon inshAllah!

congratulations!!!!!!!! wish you all the best for your future as well!!!! ameen!!!.

Few months back we sent 3 emails to US embassy Islamabad but they did not reply, not even update case status,

This year I have only 2 updates 6 and 9 feb 2015 only.

Since mid of feb 2015 we have sent fax and emails to US senator and my wife used to call every week ,

but dept secretary reply they did not received reply from US Embassy Islamabad....., more than 3 months now.

every effort useless......

3 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS IN Administrative Processing ......interview was good, every thing was ok. no objection, never asked for any additional document,,,plain AP.

bring your spouse to Pakistan this is good idea while waiting in this nightmare ones you start living with your wife it does make your feel much better and will give you more engorgement! I hope your Ap finished and get your visa very soon insha allha i praying for your success

Thanks and having same good wishes for you!!!!!

i also submitt just one medical at the time of my interview in mar2012 so lets make the three years ap club on my side i have no more willing to go to the usa i have plan to bring back my wife in pakistan

hmm....I wish you get your visa before completing 3 years of AP, ameen,

yea its better you bring you wife in pakistan, for last one and half year my wife and daughter is also living with me here in karachi.

Have you ever got a senator or congressman involved to inquire on your behalf?

I did, almost one and half year ago and they just got same AP reply from embassy......nothing else. and few days back I have contacted again to senator .......lets see..

Its not fair I hope soon they complete your case praying for you all insha allha stay strong how many times have you submitted medicals? And when please share

My first and last medical was submitted at the time of interview 22nd sep. 2011 and after that embassy did not ask for any thing as yet....

first year of AP they reply my mails and for last 2 years embassy did not even contacted me not even bother to reply any of my inquiry.

3 years 4 months and 17 days in AP.........

i don't know how much time they need to investigate about me........

just google you will found many people/agencies offer 5 years multiple visa services/h1b visa services with guarantee just you have to pay few hundred of

thousands.........there arey many illegal ways to enter to US but harder way is that if you are a gentleman and you have chosen the right way to go US .....

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 update......this year only 2 updates 6th and 9th feb........after that again they are sleeping....

3 years 4 months and 17 days in AP.........

Visa issued alhamdolilah

congratulations

I called NVC and I talked to the representative and told him my details I think in last week of January 2015. I was a bit annoyed that US Embassy is not issuing me a visa and my married life is being screwed. I asked him to return my passport as that was expired since June 2014 and tell me what do you guys have found in my investigations by FBI, DHS and other federal agencies. My life is crystal clear and I am confused that you guys are doing my background checks and havent finished in 4 years.

I told him that I want US Embassy to return my passport. I told him that calling US Embassy is wild goose chase as the operator connects me to the other authorities and they never pick up the phone and I hear a rhetoric voice message. Fax of US Embassy is always busy as I tried since ages from my office and email gets a monotonous reply that your visa is undergoing neccesary AP. So return my passport as expired passport is useless.

That rep was very nice and helping and I dont know whether he forwarded my message to the US Embassy or it was some kinda recording that authorities heard. No doubt it was Allah's help that soon US Embassy updated my cases consecutively and returned my passport.

I just came to know that US Embassy staff came to my place during those days and asked my neighbours about my marriage. Me and my sister were at our workplaces. My many neighbours are invited on the wedding and after getting information Embassy staff went back. Few of my neighbours told me that they got intimidated that they might be Taxation authorities or some agency guys and we were reluctant to talk as if they might cause problems for them or for myself. Nevertheless there were people who have had met my wife and they told them that they have seen my wife when she came to Pakistan etc.

Now I am working on my kidney transplant and also at the same time I am going to renew my passport and get the required documents in sha Allah and would go to US Embassy. I hope you all guys would get updates soon as US Embassy is working on everyone's case. In sha Allah my duas are with you guys. Be happy, have patience and always think positive. There are days when I lost hope but you all were my hope and as long as I wont get a visa I would get inspirations from all of you brothers and sisters in sha Allah.

i am just speechless.........who is responsible of this guy health issues??????

I appreciate you bro!!! you are such a brave man, Allah will give you blessing of all the sacrifices, soon very soon inshaAllah!

my prayers with you and insha Allah soon you will enjoy your healthy and happy life with your family!!!!!!!!

why in AP???? no idea....

you can read my last comments about my AP history........every thing seems ok,,,, but not ok

in last 3 years 4 months and 18 days........embassy did not contact for any additional document, no objection,

arranged marriage, Alhamdulillah no criminal history, no fraud

interview was ok and as per CO every thing ok u will get your visa in one to 6 months.

thats it.

Congratulations mueed and all who got their visa, wish you all the best for your future!!!!

after 6th february, I got another update on 9th February 2015, this is second update in 2015....

This is so depressing I pray u get out of this nightmare soon. 3 years in AP

Heartbreaking for the couple

yes bro it is very depressing..........and thanks for your best wishes and prayers i have same for you and rest of all.

Senators cant force US Embassy or any Federal Agency. They can merely enquire and US Embassy would simply give them the same reply which they give to us. Involving senators too often can irritate the US Embassy staff so if you have invovled senator or congressman once then dont repeat that. You would likely get the same result and it wont impact your case positively.

agree bro........as i tried all possible efforts like contacting senator, lawyer etc. ........but all things useless.......and after all that i am fed up i am the man who always follow the rules i dont even send regular emails to embassy......i followed each and every thing but last year exact after an year gap i sent an email to

embassy but they did not even bother to reply, after few weeks my wife also sent an email but no reply not even case updated.

Thank you for your prayers, I hope you also get it soon as well as all my brothers and sisters in VJ

That is just plain cruelty, senators sometimes cant do anything much but u should have them inquire every few weeks so the embassy knows that they are being monitored.

Can you please fill out your timeline so we can get an idea of your journey

have u ever inquired through senator for such a long AP?

can anyone please tell me if they know, whenever I call NVC like I just did today, the lady told me the last date she sees update is november 26, I have had two updates after that date, does NVC not have the current information in their system? or does it update in NVC's system when the embassy updates from their side?

My interview was ok, there was no objection, no additional requirement, this is an arranged marriage, nothing bad every thing

ok as per CO you will get your visa in 1 to 6 months.

my wife contacted the senator 2 times in 2013 but also got same AP reply, no additional favour from senator beside sending an email

and getting same ordinary AP reply from embassy.

and in 2014 embassy did not reply any of our email not even updated the case on email inquiry.

Plain AP.........3 years 4 months 15 days............
