First of all, I never saw during my year and half research that anybody got rejected out of AP process. It can go for years depending on case categories.

AP is very common for pakistan now, in wich they fulfill certain requirements and do security measures. In my case my wife got exactly the same white paper and told wait 4 weeks. I was with her during the Interview. AP process you cannot really do anything beside waiting and look for the updats and same forum follow other peoples. We got total five updates and Status says ISSUE. Just keep on checking updates U will get the visa ISSUE soon InshaAllah

Hello all,

Today was my wife's interview at Islamabad embassy around 7 everything went well but in the end CO said that they require to do further processing and will get back to her within four weeks time.

She was given a White paper stating that

" Dear Visa Applicant: Thank you for interviewing at U.S Embassy, Islamabad. Your visa has been denied under the provisions of the immigration and Nationality Act.

Section 221 (g) Your case requires additional administrative processing. it is your responsibility to keep embassy updated if your address or phone number changes. We recommend you contact us every two months to check on your status of your case. If you have questions or if you need to update your contact information you should notify.... "

CO kept her passport, We were actually baffled because there is nothing we could think went wrong !

Can any of you tell me how long does it take for them to respond back and if they reject can we Appeal for an interview again?

I mean how to go about it!

Got the passport today..

never gonna forget this time.

Thanks

Will keep eyes on passport ?

Many many Congratulation...

I am so Happy for U and Her.

U will see ur passport Ready to pick up in couple days

Praying for everyone to Comeout of this Night mare..

I will suggest to read Surah-E-Yaseen end at every Mobeen and start from begning. total 7 Mobeen in Surah. Everyday

In AP, normal thing is that you get several updates after different time periods. I have read some got issue after 6 updates some after 3, it depends when they clear your file.

I send them email yesterday morning and today my file is touched, status updated as April 19.

On CEAC website status check

Just got the Interview date for April 6

Shaukar Alhamdulillah..

And not just certified copy of passport but signed W7. And also a signed Tax for. Alot of logistics.

If you are on this thread means you have case complete. Means you are almost done. Makes absolutely no sense to do all this so soon before spouses arrival.

It can take 6 months to get a ITIN unless you take all these papers in person. It's better to just wait until spouse gets here then file than amend later and all that .

Final date to file Tax is 15 April. So my Question is by the time she gets here, dead line will end to file. Can i file after that? Is their any penalty.

Your accountant is incorrect. File "Married Filing Separately". You will NOT be able to file electronically, which is why your accountant is pushing back. His tax software will not let him type "NRA" (Non-Resident Alien) in the Spouse's SSN spot. So he has to prepare a MANUAL (meaning a hard-copy paper) tax return, and physically write "NRA" in the SSN space.

I agree - trying to get a certified copy of a passport (because it has to be certified at the Embassy/Consulate) is VERY difficult in some countries.

If he is unwilling to do this, find a different accountant.

Sukie in NY

Thank you Sukie

Big Help

Looking forward to c u guys in isb ?

Just file MFS i ll do same.once my wife is here I ll amend.its lot easier and less hassle.where they ask ssn

Just put NRA

Did you file it yourself. I should try different person to file my taxes. Coz he says if you are going to file Married you have to provide that document.

dosen't matter Jointly or Separate.

Went to do my taxes, want to add my wife on that as well as i am filing Jointly. Attorney says if i am filing Married jointly TIN number needs to be generated. For that he is asking for attested copy of my wife Passport from the passport office. Then he will be able to file Married jointly.

Is there any other way, or different document i can provide, coz its hard for her to go get that copy.

Any suggestion !!! coz i have no idea what to do.
