Mine is K1 visa. Hopefully it’s not rejected! 

Depends on your country and culture. If CO is convinced you might get it right away.

Would they doubt a relationship even if you were to have a whole baby with that person? It’s crazy not knowing whether the case will be rejected or not after waiting for such a long time 

CR1 or IR1 have a low rejection rate but yes AP and DS is pretty common which means longer wait times.

I am so sorry to hear this, did they give you a reason for sending it back to NVC and why your case was rejected? I feel like they should at least give someone the reason as to why a case is rejected. 

Family based immigrant visas or fiance visas are usually rejected cause they doubt the relationship it's tougher to convince especially in case of fiance visa. But GOD knows I believe someone else had a similar case with a different Visa category may Allah give us all good news and visas issued soon amen.

Respectfully disagreed. Too many K-1 visas issued all around the world. Its all depend upon the country, where an interview took place. For example getting K-1 visa in Philippine is a piece of cake while getting K-1 in Pakistan is like getting a ball from loin's mouth. Lol

 

Correct I'm a Pakistani n generally I have never heard anyone applying or getting a K1 here some ppl might have but not around me. BTW I'm still waiting to see if ur prediction regarding my case materializes 😛

I have a question for everyone that is in Administrative processing. Is it a bad sign if the CO does not take the passport at the end of the interview but gives you a 221g form to fill out a DS 5535 form? This is for a k-1 visa btw... 

Stay positive but with K1 I don't see many approvals passport kept or not doesn't matter at all K1 itself is a very unpredictable category as well at times some embassies keep passport and reject the visa at times they ask for the passport later when they want to issue the visa one can certainly travel if they want I don't think there's an issue with that but I'd recommend anyone filing to better get married n file CR1

But our PPs are with the embassy since interview after that we requested once but this time they are either not checking there online portal queries or they don't want to return the PPs. DS5535 Aug 2017

AP: 2 years 5 months 

Visa Category?

32 minutes ago, Aries09 said:

On return I asked them if we have to return our passports the reply was: Return your passports through our approved courier I took the email print and PPs were returned back to embassy 

Oh as per my understanding passports are requested by the embassy once they are ready to issue the visa I may be wrong hope u get ur pps soon Insha Allah

no we got married 2013 years ago then on 2017 we filed. i did my interview last may/2018 till now it is at administrative processing. 

Oh then I understand don't worry hang in there u r almost there like I said for genuine filers with clean records can be tough n long but Insha Allah will get it with k1 u never know so safe to file CR1 in my opinion btw u r lucky in terms of getting a PR right away rather than going for removal of conditions look at the brighter side Allah is merciful

When did u guys file n why did it take 5 years

Just now, fakeeh said:

i am on ir1 it is the same shitty process.

I'm on CR1 as well it is difficult I agree but denial rate is very low they can make it longer tougher but in the end you'll  end up getting the visa Insha Allah

We sent a request to retrieve my husband’s passport from the Embassy so we can see each other again. According to the Embassy it won’t stop the process or add more time to it. So In Shaa Allah I will be able to see my hubby soon. It’s been almost 2 years since I last saw him.

 

may Allah make this journey easy for all of us. Ameen 🤲🏻

I salute your patience the longest I have been away from my hubby was 7 months and I ended up severely depressed this is an amazing decision go meet each other have fun

Last year we had sent an email and got our passports back within a week. On return we returned our passports back. 

 

This time despite sending several emails there is no response from embassy 😩

 

That's weird where are you from? I mean no embassy in the world has a right to keep your passport when you need it. It's your property or your country's.

First thank you so much to everyone here. You are all ma sha allah amazing and supportive people. Thank you for your duas and kind words. They are definitely not wasted. 

 

My fiance and I were really upstet but we are calm and our hearts are at peace. I verified our situation through my senator. Anyone who is stuck in the process or may become stuck and read this, i just want you to know don't lose hope, this is a small hurdle that we will get over. There is a reason behind this denial maybe to save us from a bigger catastrophe down the line concerning adjustment of status etc. Plan is to go to pakistan, get married, and apply for cr1. According to them, my fiance doesn't qualify for k1 visa category, i think we might be too married for them because our relationship although very halal still very out of norms of the Pakistani culture. And they just needed a reason since the current administration has established and upheld severe scrutiny laws. I am glad for this reason because Allah will make it easier for us the rest of the journey and i will pray and continue to pray for all of you my brothers and sisters that you are soon reunited with your loved ones and don't have to face what we faced. Dont let the broken US immigration system define and rule your life. Live your life and always always hope for the best. Because i still have hope and still very determined. 

 

Remember me in your prayers. ❤❤❤

That is amazing sister I'm so glad to hear such positive words from u remember  Hazrat Ali said An optimist will see opportunities in every difficulty and a pessimist will see difficulty in every opportunity.  I'm pretty sure CR1 will be a piece of cake for you guys get married soon meet each other n leave everything to Allah. May Allah give u happiness n a blissful married life.

OMG!  I'm so very sorry...I don't understand why they ask for an updated medical to return it.  This is the second time I've seen Islamabad do this.  Praying for you!

Yeah I remember there  was someone else who's case was returned to Nvc after second medical but not sure if it was k1

After requesting a second medical and making us wait about 50 days, it updated today, it says "returned to NVC" 

 

I guess it's not meant to be. I am just really numb right now.... if you were going to reject someone don't make them wait a fuk*** 10 months after the interview 

Dearest sister I know it's  a very very difficult time for you guys and nothing would make you feel better but don't give up get married and file CR1 k1 has a relatively low approval rate that way at least you'll be sure that sooner or later you'll end up getting the visa for your partner. May Allah help you get through this soon try to visit your fiance stay positive keep praying.

It's been 21 months since my husband has been in AP. Things seem to fall apart and the excitement doesn't last about being together but you tend to hold on and talk on the phone/video call just to keep each other calm. The key is to stop thinking about it and make it an every day thing. what keeps me and my husband sane is that we both know I get to visit him for three weeks every year  .

I love your positive attitude I went nuts thinking I went be with my husband forever yet but now I have stopped obsessing over this thing Alhamdulillah. Things may not happen according to our timeline but Allah has chosen perfect timing for everything and we have to trust GOD's decision. Think of ppl who didn't get an approval what they would have gone through think of ppl who are suffering more than us. I know it's impossible to be positive I have been severely depressed myself for the past year but just now is when we need to strengthen our faith the most.

Some days are harder, 

 

Just got off facetime with my fiance, he had a melt down... 

His family is not even in Pakistan, everyone is abroad and he is by himself. It's been more than year since he moved back to Pakistan..we thought it may not take as long as it's taking... 

 

How do you say to someone you love very much that inshallah it's gonna be alright. My belief hasn't  been broken, i still have hope but how do you keep pushing..

 

Thank you for listening 

I'm so so sorry my dear was he in the US? Where is his family if they're somewhere else probably he can visit or why don't you guys plan a trip go somewhere meet can u visit him in Pak over eid?

Things will happen when they have to there's a time for everything which may vary from the timeline v create for ourselves so better leave it to Allah n enjoy

But again ppl with no travel histories have gotten it too so you can never be sure why you get it probably cause its common in your home country
