Hey guys.. My fiancé received a call from the embassy today around 3pm. But he was asleep and missed the call as he work for an American company so his schedule runs on American hours.. 

But he also received an email asking for a second “fresh”(that’s what it says in the email lol) medical and 2 visa sized photographs. 
But no other information. It doesn’t say how to submit them. Where to submit them etc. just asks for you these 2 things to proceed forward. We have been in AP since October of 2019. 
He is super nervous and is mad at himself because he wasn’t awake to answer the call 😬 he called back when he did wake up and they told him that he would probably receive another call and also to call back tomorrow morning and that they would find the CO who called him.. 

 

If any of you guys have submitted a second medical and/or photographs, how have you submitted them? 
I’m hoping that tomorrow he is able to receive more information. 😰

Just print out the email send them through courier AEG travel

Hi Ehsan, nobody really knows how long AP will last. My husband was given a ds5535 and was in AP for 7.5 months. His visa got issued on its own, they asked for new medical. I was on the verge of suing the embassy but ended up not doing it because the visa got issued on its own. My advice would be to wait like 2 months then think about suing the embassy with a writ of mandamus. Good luck.

Suing to embassy is not a good option now. I see in 2019 more than 17 persons sued them but some cases are solved after sued most of cases pending from 6 months so I think the perception embassy give the decision within 60 days is getting wrong. I am talking about Islamabad embassy.

Is this the lawyer? 

I will. 

 

You have to file lawsuit. My interview was also 23 January 2018. And my visa issued after 15 month when filed a lawsuit.

My husband received his visa approved passport from the US Embassy in Pakistan and he was supposed to travel to the United States for the first time, However designated airline refused to check him in on the day of the flight, because they received a notification from the CBP which prohibits any airline to board him. He was told to contact the nearest embassy. His visa was issued on November 19,2018 but when I checked the status on December 14,2018 it went from ‘issued’ to ‘ready’. Next day I got an email from the embassy with the attached document DS-5535. It says that under section 221(g) his visa application has been refused and they need additional information. I also got another email in which they asked him to return visa packet and passoprt for further processing. I also checked the ustraveldocs and it says that his case is under ‘expedited cases’ now. I filled that document and sent them back the other day. Till then they updated his case 4 or 5 times. It has been 8 months now. Last time they updated his case on May 3,2019.

I emailed the embassy but never got any response from them. Then I decided to visit congressman office. They sent an email to the embassy and they got answer within a week. In that email the embassy said that they’re working on this case but they didn’t say anything about how long they will take or why they took visa and passport from him after issuing visa. The congressman office said that they can’t do anything other than just following up with them through email. 

Has anyone came across of anything like this? How long did they take? 

If anyone know anything please let me know. I’m frustrating.

If you afford then you can go for lawsuit 

Only thing that can work

Jennifer Nimer has filed many lawsuits at embassy level. She has even fought lawsuits in AP from banned countries

I think in lawsuit the responsibility of lawyer in lawsuit is just file a case that's all they work on case. After filling lawyer didn't do anything with case. Lawsuit just make embassy responsible to give a decision on certain case within limit time. Issuance or denial of visa it's depends on your case how strong your paper work in front of consular officer. Embassy doesn't denia your case because security checks are not completed.

What time of the day does the visa generally change to issued? I am also asking this question from others who have received their visas? Is it early morning or in the late hours?

A friend I met on here filed one and her husbands case was returned for not enough evidence of bonafide relationship that coupled with the rate that attorneys are charging for it makes me not ready to file one myself.  I need to see enough positive turn around to decide if its worth the 3500-6000 I have been seeing attorneys quote.

Mubarak ho!!  Please keep us in your prayers!

 

 

WOM is not a bad think when. In WOM embassy need a strong reason to deny your case. With out a embassy can't deny your case

Hi everyone, 

Is it required by the ISL embassy to have the spouse’s birth certificate and our marriage certificate be attested by foreign affairs ? We have our English nikah nama that is notorized. However, my husband was at foreign affairs to get his degree attested and saw people getting their marriage and birth certificates also attested..so we’re kind of confused as to if our other documents should also be done? Haven’t read anything of that sort but just wanted to make sure? 

 

Thank you in advance!!

It is not necessary.

Hey! How did you request for his passport back? My husband has to travel for work and he hasn’t been able to because the consulate had his passport. We were thinking about requesting for it but we’re afraid they will delay our process even more 😭

You can request for passport it's not effect on visa process  (administrative processing ).when administrative processing complete they ask you to submit again

Okays thanks a lot. I thought may be they will issue me visa irrespective of the fact that who is the principal applicant.

Even you receive a visa before principal applicant you can't travel before principal applicant.
