after interview it can take a month or half but not that too long like you are mentioning except some rare cases 

thanks

From what I've seen around here it takes a few months for a lot of the cases, not just rare ones.

That’s a good sign it means they are working on ur case as well because mine was last updated on March 18th let me know once it’s updated again. 

I hope so.  Also praying that the Islamabad embassy doesn't end up closing because of the virus.  That will only delay the process.  Will let you know if there's an update.  You do the same please.  Thanks.

I m so worried because yesterday they updated 3 times my status but it’s still under administrative process. 

Our date was last updated March 19th, before that it was Feb 26.

Yes they will ask her the case number if she will request for the status of visa because they have to send an email to immigration department to let your wife know on email her status. Most important thing they will ask her is passport number. 

Okay, good.  They kept my wife's passport after the interview but I'm sure she as a copy of the main page which has the passport number.

+92-51111234111

Thanks a lot for this. Pretty sure I came across the number on the website but never considered using it based on what I had read.

Where u able to get hold of them

I will ask my wife in Pak to try on Monday.  I hope she will be able to get a hold of someone.  Did they ask for the case number?  Anything else?

I just called their help line the guy who answered my call told me case will be still processed so I guess they should do it soon. 

Hi, I was under the impression that the embassy did not accept phone calls regarding this.  what number did you use?  Thanks.

It has to be through American Express.

In the email I mentioned, the consulate said "preferably American Express," so it's safe to say that they accept others as well.  I'm not sure however what those are.

Hello, 

Nearly 3 weeks after my wife's interview at the Islamabad embassy, during which she was asked to reupload at CEAC her Birth Certificate that includes "Place of Birth", we got an email from the embassy stating that the original paper copy of that Birth Certificate now also needs to be sent to them via a courier, preferably American Express.  My wife lives in a small town where that courier isn't available.  I would like to know whether it is okay to use another courier such as TCS?  Also, do we need to send anything else along with the requested document?  She will obviously write the case number on the envelope.  Thanks in advance for any help.

In your situation, I don't think they will make a recommendation either.  I've only see them do that when the LAST tax return doesn't qualify.  Even then, it's a "you might want to..." kind of recommendation.  It matters a lot how far over the requirement your income is and what kind of job you have.  It's a judgment call, considering the totality of circumstances.  

Thanks for your thoughts, pushbrk.  Much appreciated.

So NVC won't force me but rather make a recommendation that I do...

The consulate has the final say, but NVC will suggest a joint sponsor if you don't meet the requirements 

Thanks, payxibka.  So it's necessary to meet the requirements for all 4 years?

Hello everyone,

A few quick questions regarding I-864EZ and its income requirements.  I'm the lone petitioner/sponsor for my spouse in Pakistan.  While I meet the income requirements for the current year (2019) and the past year (2018), I am short for the years 2017 and 2016.  What should I do? Will I be okay?  If I do it alone, will the NVC let me know regarding a co-sponsor before the case is sent to the embassy in Pakistan?  

Thanks for any help.
