she was in AP for a few weeks. the interview was in Jan and they asked for this years tax return (IRS was not accepting tax returns then so I don't know why they asked for it) and they emailed the additional information questionnaire a few hours after the interview. If I remember correctly the case was updated 5 or 6 times and it went into issued. (updates even happened during the weekend). it was mentioned on ceac website that she will get it 2 days after it is approved and she got it on the 2nd day (contacted by the courier). Even after picking it up the status is still issued.

wow that was very fast process. my parents have been stuck for almost 8 months and so other people are stuck for 9 months and more but still under AP. you were lucky..

Does sending an email to "nvcinquiry@state" update the case (under AP) last updated date or does it happen only if you email the embassy?

I think each time you send an email

Hi, my husband applied for me in last June. He's a LPR. I want to know just because I'm pakistani can it take more than two years? Cuz of being from pakistan. Or can this normally take more than two years for F2A? & why. Please assist me. 

Hi, its normal takes 2 years. being Pakistani that's doesn't effect anything. once visa is available then they will let you know which will take up to 2 years. then its on you how speedy you process your documents and all.. good luck

Alright guys, i feel you all!

I read whole thread and i see zaib have longer ap than others.

Quickly i will suggest you few things. First of all Stop sending emails to embassy, its useless as you gonna get the same reply everytime with different words.

Dragging congressman or senetor in your case is useless cause ap cannot be waived or expidite.

Your best bet is  to wait and be busy in your routine life and meantime keep eye on yr email or postbox or sometime nvc status check tool. If there is something eventually you gonna get it.

Just for your information, my brother family interviewd at islamabad embassy in March 2016 and as of today they are in AP. I tried everything but no luck! But still i wish you guys good luck!

 

I agree with you.. i stop doing that now.. one of my friend husband case got updated from AP to ready today and his interview was done on June 14 so i think thats a good sign

Does the case date have to change for them to call?

 

or may be send inquiry to Consulate and ask for current update

hmm that i don't know could be not because officer could have tell his translater to call or someone that know Urdu well to deliver the message to the person. i am thinking but i could be wrong may be once they reach the person and talk to them then they could have update the case...

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for writing to our office. Your immigrant visa case has been refused under INA Section 221(g) for administrative processing, an integral part of the visa adjudication and issuance process that can neither be expedited nor waived. Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict the amount of time the processing will take and timing varies based on the individual circumstances of each case. The visa application will be reconsidered when administrative processing is complete.

 Please be assured that we are aware of your concerns and will process the application to completion as quickly as possible, in accordance with U.S. laws. We recognize that this process can be frustrating for applicants and regret any inconvenience. 

 Sincerely,

 Immigrant Visa Unit

Consular Section

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your email. Our record indicates that below visa case is under admin process. Administrative processing is mandatory for all sorts of visas to the United States.  There are no waivers available.  Only after this processing has concluded do we review a case for possible issuance of a visa.  The time this processing may take varies from applicant to applicant.  The wait time can be lengthy.  We understand that this wait can be frustrating for our applicants.  Please rest assured we are making our best effort to finish this processing as soon as possible.  Thank you for your kind understanding.

Sincerely,

Immigrant Visa Unit

Yes which is far better than November so there is no change in visa policy and scrutiny since trump came as a president because they are issuing visa same s they were issuing in 2016 and previous years  before trump presidency

Aslam o Alikum 

Dear All, 

Alhamdulillah and thanks to Allah, yesterday my visa has issued after 9.5 months of administrative processing. InshAllah everybody will get his/her visa soon, Ameen. I have learnt a lot from this website from USCIS to NVC stage and then at interview stage. Me and my wife had filled all forms by using this website.

Consular Officer conducted my interview for 10mins only and at the end of interview, I asked him "is it approved" CO replied "I can't tell you anything" and he issued me administrative processing highlighted page. 

Thanks all. May Allah bless you all, Ammen. 

W salaam.. many many Congrat my friend.. i am so happy for you. and hope and pray for everyone else to hear the same news for them..Have safe journey.
