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 

Finally my visa issued after almost one year in AP with ds 5535 my interview date was 23 aug 2018 (norway) b2 visa.....

I think the honest cases being returned are generally a little complicated sometimes innocent ppl with unfortunate situations face denial only because ppl do immigration fraud the thing is if someone is committing a fraud they should know that not only they will face problems they're creating hurdles for others sad but true. Allah help us all amen

It's my pleasure 
My prayers always with you 

I'm so so happy for you Masha Allah you helped me alot in requesting my passport back

But we saw people with no travel history getting DS and visas being issued around 8 to 10 months later. Allah knows what the real picture is.

My lawyer quoted us on $3500.00 but it’s still risky... so we are waiting and praying for the visa 
 
 

Even simple cases have had very long AP.  Every case is different and there is no way of knowing how long your case will take to complete.   Last year cases were being approved in about 6months time a few months ago people were looking at a  year but lately things have been moving along again.   It's really hard to tell.
 
Our second interview was in October (when we received the questionnaire) We had several updates the first few months  but  stopped in January.  After that it only updated when an inquiry was sent.  
 
Today our case updated for the first time since January on its own.   We are hopeful that it's a good sign and Inshallah this nightmare will be over soon!

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.

Welcome to the month of june and good news 
Amen.

It really depends on the embassy.  Some embassies do not keep the passport during long AP but will request when needed.  If you interviewed in Islamabad however it would be a bad sign if they didn't keep it.    Germany I'm not sure.  I would read others stories (who have interviewed in the same embassy and have also been put in AP) to see if keeping the passport is a trend there.

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

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 🤲🏻

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. ❤❤❤

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.

Sorry to hear this. but you never know tomorrow it could say Admin Processing again then inshallah Issued. This could also be a glitch in the system. Reach out to NVC and send an Inquiry to the embassy. I don't think they will reject it or else they wouldn't have asked for another medical. Inshallah praying hard for you guys ❤️ 

Don’t give up.... your visa is on it way. Remember we plan but Allah’s plan is better. I’ll be praying for you and everyone waiting to be reunited with their loved one.

No I’m not from the Philippines. I’m American and my hubby is Afghan.... I got my info from the VJ home page where it shows the recent visa approvals in VJ. Lately they’re from Phillipines...
