since when you are in Administrative processing and how did you submitted the evidences through ceac or mail. they have asked me to upload them ceac. i got some photo graph, A family tree from nadra that shows my parents and brothers and Sister (petitioner) and petitioner Secondary School certificate. Will they enough for F4(Sibling) visa category?

After my interview, I submitted the requested document through CEAC. It’ll be enough if that’s what they asked for.

Dear All

After inquiry, i received an email  that says

"We have recently reviewed your immigrant visa case.  The proof of relationship between the applicant and the petitioner submitted to our office is insufficient.  Please provide credible documentary evidence of a bona-fide relationship between the applicant and the petitioner.

Please upload the documents at https://ceac.state.gov/iv/."

 

Can any one help what should i upload.

 

What did you say in your inquiry??

Anyone here in AP since oct 2019 ? 
my case is in AP since 23 oct 2019 . Since then ive got 4 updates. 3 of them were because i sent them inquiry. So is it a positive sign or not ??

Yeah, since oct 17 2019 with first option checked off for an additional document that has been submitted on CEAC. Only one update and didn’t hear back after sending inquiries. I wonder how long more will this be. Hope that it ends soon.

This is just something I wanted to know for my knowledge, thanks.

Another question I have in mind is that the CO asked me to upload it online which I did. I don’t have to send the requested document through courier correct? And just what was requested?

Priority date is irrelevant on CR or IR visa cases.  Same answer.  They are not staffed to answer emails at your whim.  You have a website to check.  Don't expect much.  You wait.  Whether you do so patiently or not is your choice.  If there was a "solution" somebody here would be telling you what it is.  Get it?

This is just something I wanted to know for my knowledge, thanks.

There is not a time limit.  Things ARE "fair" but fair and equal are not synonyms.  Usually longer times to complete the security checks have to do with very common names.  These security checks for people in that region were implemented at the end of the visa moratorium, that followed September 11, 2001.

 

Definitely would not be "fair" to Americans to stop them prematurely.

My priority date is Nov 2018 and also the CO kept the wedding photographs along with the passport. I’ve sent an inquiry twice since interview and have not received any response from them. Why’s that?

Doesn't seem much of a deal. I hope you get the visa soon. Hang in there.

They asked for which document??

Entry/exit stamp during the time of the wedding.. he was satisfied with rest of the things.

Thousands of others in your shoes are also trying to contact the embassy for the same reason.  They probably can’t cope with the volume.  May seem unfair, but like I said, it is entirely due to infrastructure in Pakistan.   If they improved their criminal record-keeping, the US embassy wouldn’t have to jump through hoops to properly vet visa applicants.

Totally agreed, hope this resolves for people that are waiting.

Very common for Pakistan.   There are entire threads devoted to APs of >one year for Pakistan.  Unfortunately, police records there are not considered to be up to US standards, so the security checks take much, much longer.

So unfair to people that have nothing against them and some people went through the same stage and were issued a visa after 48 days, 3-4 months. I hope this comes to an end very soon. It’s very frustrating when there immigrant visa unit doesn’t answer calls or respond to queries. I’ve sent one on Wednesday and still have not heard back.

Different situation but can also be long AP.

What could be the cause of long AP? It has been 3 months already, I hope to receive it soon.

If the visa applicant is male, expect AP of six to eighteen months coming from Pakistan.

The visa applicant is a female. 

We had an interview on October 17 2019 at ISL embassy and was given a 221g form to submit an additional document which was submitted on CEAC portal on 20th October. Had one update in the month of November after submitting an inquiry don’t know if it’s because of that or just an update from their end, and until now there has been no any other updates or change of case status. The form was marked on the 1st option in the paper. The passport was kept. What can I do at this time? Why is it taking so long to review one document? Please respond with what you guys think.
