After second interview CO say nothing to your husband.....? I am little worry that why they put your case on admin processing after second interview. Already they take so much time after your first interview.  May be they want to take more time to decide.  i think they will issue your husband visa but they will take more time. 

Ok so shortly after first interview it said “administrative processing “ then we got ds5535 the next day then beginning of 202 it showed “refused” it will be continued to be processed and you will receive another update on the decision/adjudication once the process is complete . There is nothing to worry, if you have been issued a 221g, it will be continued to be processed. then it recently changed back to administrative processing after my husband got a call from embassy asking for his phone numbers and asking what documents were at the embassy

I am soo sorry to hear this! This makes me super sad & I 100% feel for you my heart breaks for you. Although we didn’t owe any documents to Islamabad embassy we were placed in administrative processing the next day of interview and received ds5535! After 15 months of first interview we were called for second interview with new medical and passport

Usually when status says refused it sometimes is in Administrative Processing and when it says its in AP that can mean its in process of being printed my wife had interview back in March and the officer said everything looks good and right after that status said its in AP and 3 days later it changed to Issued I feel like your visa might be just in process of printing hopefully you'll get good news this coming week inshallah 

Yes inshAllah!!! I feel like we’ve gone through the actually phase of it “processing” and just praying that it will be issued soon! 

Just now, Rose2019 said:

Yeah that’s the attitude! Don’t mind anyone that puts you down. 
How long did you wait in AP after the first interview? Have you tried emailing the embassy to get a case status update? What are they saying? 

15 months after original interview they called my husband for a second interview in July and we submitted everything in August. The embassy called him this past Thursday to verify his phone number and also asked if there were any other original documents at the embassy they then told him they are handing over his documents to the consular officer. Our case status showed “refused” and then Thursday when he got the call it changed to administrative processing

Administrative processing can take any where from few days to few months as it varies from case to case in your case since it was already on a long AP time duration so hopefully this time it won't be that long keep praying and stay positive it will be over soon inshallah 

Yeah it’s been so long in AP that we think maybe this might be the end for us know so I didn’t know if anyone heard of anything similar

Great reply ! 👏 awesome .. we are here to help each other .. no one was born with knowledge 

Yes 100% people just need to shut up and if they can’t help then no need for ur bs! Like no we don’t have a crystal ball LOL definitely don’t think I posted that in my post 😤

It’s alright, don’t mind the negative comments/people on here. There are a few that are like this on here and make you feel worse than you already do and then there are a few that make me feel happy. Just stay positive and you’ll hear some good news soon. I am currently in the same situation and no one will understand unless they have been through a really long AP. It is extremely difficult. I am getting very anxious because my fiancée had his second interview this past Thursday and now the consulate is waiting for the medical and police certificate to get to them. 

Yeah honestly #### people are so ignorant! And nobody understands because they aren’t in the same situation. Being a married couple and not being able to be together and start our lives especially being married for almost 3 years really sucks! It doesn’t get easier especially when people say stupid . And we’ve submitted everything in August and it’s like we’re so close but still don’t have a guarantee like it’s so hard 😭🤯

Not sure what your expecting then. No one on VJ has a magic crystal ball 

I don’t recall saying that? Just curious if anyone else has had anything similar.

Nobody can tell you anything. Its case by case and with Pakistan the wait can be a long time. Just gotta keep waiting

We’ve already been waiting 17 months in AP so well aware the wait is the longest at that embassy 

Hello,

so my husband had his second interview oath/fingerprints in July and was told to submit new medical along with a valid passport, which we did in august, today my husband received a call from the embassy asking to confirm that it was medical and passport that he mailed and if there’s an additional phone number for him, the guy on the phone stated he’s going to pass all my husband information to the officer for processing..on ceac our case went from refused to administrative processing and date updated. Any idea if this may FINALLLY be some good news after 17 months total of AP!!!!

Any dates that change is a good sign as someone is touching your record. When you see it go from "immigrant" to "non-immigrant" than you are almost there with the visa issuing shortly. So, keep your eyes open on ceac.

Also they did call my husband to confirm his phone numbers. Wait so what do you mean change from immigrant to non immigrant? Ours is ir1 immigrant visa
