Hi! I recently got my IR1 visa issued at the US embassy. I’m traveling soon to the US to be back with my husband. I overstayed my F1 visa previously by less than 180 days and I was wondering if that would impact my reentry into the US? (At customs/border patrol)

Ok. This is a good sign then.

Now the case moved to AP. I know AP in Pakistan can take a long time and no one can predict how long will AP take (AP stands for Administrative Processing).

Good luck

Status changed to “Issued” today!

what was the reason for the refusal? what did they ask for?

If they asked for a document and it was provided to them, then it makes sense

They wanted the IRS tax transcript. We submitted it in October of 2021 too. 

Hi! I had my interview in October 2021. I was given a 221g and my status was “Refused” for a few months. Today, it changed to “Administrative Processing”. What does this mean? Is it a negative or positive thing?

Nothing yet unfortunately!

I had the exact same scenario and it got approved after 4 days. However it was in Nepal Embassy, so it could be whole different processing time. 

That’s great! Could you tell me about your case status date updates and the change in status?

My wife has the Same situation, she interviewed last week on the 28th but she was missing her original birth certificate so the CO asked her to send it with her passport via Aramex and she sent it on Sunday, we still haven’t heard anything yet, fingers crossed!

Good luck to you, hope it all works out asap! Has your case date updated after the submission of documents?

There's no guaranteed timeline, unfortunately.  It could take days, weeks, or months.  There are also VJ members from Pakistan who reported being on extended administrative processing for more than a year.  Hopefully your case won't take that long.

 

Thank you for the reply! Is it a good sign that they kept my passport? The CO also gave me a Immigrant Domestic Violence voucher at the interview. 

Hello! 
I had my CR1 visa interview on the 25th of October and it went well however I received a 221G slip with missing Tax Transcript/W2. My passport was kept by the CO. My husband submitted it the same day right after the interview to the CEAC portal. My case date has updated on the 28th of October and the 1st of November. Has anyone been in a similar situation? How long does this usually take to process? Thank you!
