No one can say with any certainty when your visa will be issued. Administrative processing is at its most frustrating when it goes on for several months. Typically this is caused by a consular post waiting for a response on some form of advisory opinion.  We have seen some who have experienced very long delays sometimes beyond a year. But those are rare. I hate to sing the same tune but patience is what is needed.

 

So using CEAC this is what you will see just after the interview:

 

When the Embassy is ready to issue a visa, it will change to "Nonimmigrant Visa Application"; at that time, you will know that you are a few days away from getting the visa. It will go from "Immigrant Visa Application" to "Nonimmigrant Visa Application" status and then your visa changes to "Ready" ==> "Administrative Processing" ==>> "Issued" status as well. These steps sometimes transpire over a day or even a few days. Some smaller Embassy's it happens within hours.

 

Sometimes, it might skip "Administrative Processing" and go from "Ready" to "Issued".

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Thanks for your help. 

it seems like average time is 2-3 months after interview

Yes it sucks. It is out of our control and our petition is going to expire this month too, according to approval letter and we have no clue about what to do in the future.

I emailed but they don't reply

Does anyone have experience anything like this before ? what is the process when embassy cancel an interview appointments due to emergency ? 

Our appointment got cancelled due to protest in Islamabad on November 1st 2019 and we can't reschedule our appointment because we are not seeing any option to reschedule an interview appointment on the website.

We called an embassy couple of time and person on the phone said embassy will contact us but we have not been contacted by embassy at all neither embassy send us a cancellation of appointment notification.

Any advice, guidance or experience will be appreciated about where and who should we contact ?

Well, if you are applying for k1 visa then you can go ahead and pay the visa fee, do your medical exam and schedule an appointment. Also, they do not send you packet 3 or 4, they will just send you an email stating that nvc forwarded your case. They will also mail you that letter which reaches after a month or so. Do not wait for that letter, you can just print it from your email. When you schedule your appoinment, they will send you confirmation page with things that you need to provide. I have just been through the whole process of k1 visa so I am aware of recent process. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck.

i got following email in  first week of September and  should i just wait for packet 3 and packet 4 . Can you please guide me through complete process you went through.

The National Visa Center (NVC) received your fiancé (e)’s/spouse’s approved I-129F petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). NVC will now forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Islamabad, Pakistan. Please note that the transfer process can take several weeks. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate will contact your fiancé (e)/spouse when they are ready to process his or her petition.
