do you know the reason you got DS-5535?

 

 

whats your status now with your case?

You never know what triggers your case to get ds-5535, but mostly when you get it, probably means they will give you the visa.

What was your case cateogry. We got ds5535 as well. Its been more than a month since in AP. 

Hi, Sorry I was busy doing some stuff, My category was K1, I started my Process back in Dec 2018 and it took me almost 1.5 years to get my visa including my DS-5535, I don't mean to dishearten anyone, but my advice will be to hope because sometimes it could take longer then you expect.

Hello Every one!

Does any have travelled from ISLAMABAF AIRPORT holding K1 visa, i would like to know that how they treat people, plus what kind of question they ask upon leaving the country.

I would really appereciate sharing your reviews, and how to answer them.

Hello All asking as k1 applicant.
Is there an average number of updates on CEAC during administrative process AP that someone receives before visa is issued ?

Yes most are approved.  I have seen 2 at Islamabad who's cases were returned after being asked to submit a second medical one was waiting 10 in AP with ds5535 the other was over a year.  I have seen Pakistanis get their visas anywhere between a few weeks and some still waiting after 2 years.   No-one can tell you how long or give any guarantees.  

Thanks for your reply, i see many people on this platform talking about their ds-5535, but after a while they get disappear, so i just wondering what happened to them, that are they approved or dis-approved.

in any case i will really appreciate if people share their experience so other people can get benefit from it.

Has anyone received 221g for DS-5535 and got Approved ?

If so, how long did it take ?

Any idea how much time it takes on average for the issuance of visa once the visa is in nonimmigrant visa category AP?

As far as i know, Experts say that once status turns into Non-Immigrant, it means they are working on processing your visa, so it should not take longer then a month now. 

would you like to share for how long you have been in AP ?

Our case updated on its own last month then nothing since.   Our interview was October 23rd 2018 we were given ds5535 a few days later.  

OMG that is scary, you are still in AP, i though you would have been approved.

I would like to know any of my paki fellows recently got their k1 visa? Please share some details of your interview and AP time? Thankyou ♥️

Hi, k1 have pretty slim chances in Pakistan embassy Islamabad, however if you have extremely logical reason that why not married and why K1 then it may be approved, AP is called a black hole no one knows how much time it's going take post interview.

social media is the easiest to check

 

so,  it will add time to only those applications that leave off info

 

for example:   in last 5 years someone says i have a facebook and 2 email ID"s

a CO first googles the immigrants name/ you would all be surprised what comes up

then he/she  does a facial recognition to check for dating sites and other facebook ID's  much like catfish TV show

now you go to one of the email ID's and say "forgot my password"  the other given email ID (or cell phone on application ) should show up for backup reset of email password/  if anything else shows that has not been stated,  the person has lied on the form

all emails are checked in this matter

The object here is to see if the immigrant is not honest

 

protected apps are whatsapp (encrypted)

 

One woman i talked to found out (from DHS thru the embassy) that her bf had several dating sites and at least 2 facebook/ he had to do the ds5535 and the security checks showed he "loved " women from several countries / it was not hard for DHS to feret out the fraud 

 

so, an hour on a computer can expose a lot and any honest immigrants will slide 

but others will face a hurdle

Can you tell me if they request social media handles do they also want the passwords to accompany them? Thanks

Were you asked to provide any additional documents?

Administrative Processing is normal, but there is no set timeline so it’s just another wait..

Pakistan Embassy Birth Certificate  Or Pakistani Nadra Birth Certificate Issuance from Pakistan is being required these days for visa assurance purpose. normally you need to have your cnic nicop and your parents. as being overseas myself in USA it is hard for me get it by myself in pakistan. although it can requested by the officials and presently a recommended service by a friend which can be checked here  . they really got me genuine one from the officials and even got it Apostle from ministry of foreign affairs in pakistan. it was the moment where i felt happier as it was also accepted by the embassy for visa purpose. you may also need your marriage certificate and parents birth certificate as the type of visa you apply for here

Dear, i am k1 applicant and my interview is in next two weeks, do i need to attest any thing from the foreign office ? more over i already have my NDRA birth certificate from my Union Council do i need to translate it ? as it is already both in English and Urdu.
