  1. We have 3 applications - 2 are for step-children. From the start it showed one step-kid as 4 weeks (then when that time ran out it showed 'taking longer than expected'). The spouse showed as 3 months. And second step-kid showed at 6 months.
  2. Do we need to file separate K4's for children? Or is our collective mention under one K3 form fine?
  3. We're just a few days apart! Let's see how this fares for us experience wise.
  4. I see so many posts on here regarding expediting requests, and majority of the answers are how that's not a good enough reason.... I don't see any post here that shows you what a valid/good reason actually is to expedite. I feel like every reason that would cross my mind as a valid expedite request has been vetoed on here - so I am genuinely curious now. I'd like to know on here if anyone had their request to expedite approved, what was the reason you gave? Or if anyone knows of anyone elses experience and what the specific reason for expediting was that got approved?
  5. I know it's early days yet, but would love to start a thread here for fellow Sep23 filers so we can track progress together! Filed: Sept 22, 2023. NOA1: Sept 22, 2023. AR: Sept 29, 2023. I am contemplating the filing of an I-129F. Not sure yet.
  6. Ok. But if I do get approved to transfer the London consulate, that still means the AP starts sooner if it's going to happen regardless whether in London or Islamabad. And the sooner it starts, the sooner it's over with. So either way, London consulate will still be a quicker process regardless.
  7. Is the "Case is being actively reviewed" status update generic, I am assuming? We have progressing I-130's for myself (the beneficiary spouse) and 2 children - they all got the status update simultaneously, which makes me think after a set time frame they just update it automatically? That no one actually probably touched the application yet...
  8. From what I've read it's mostly males who get put in AP, the same males that get pulled aside at any POE in the US as their names typically are flagged in the system. But of course, always a risk in any case to be put in AP. That cannot be helped. There's potential negatives all over in this whole process. Trying to focus on a potential positive
  9. Thank you guys. If Islamabad wasn't as terrible as it is right now I would have probably just not bothered. But if there is a slither of chance even to knock 2 years off and can't harm the application then definitely worth trying! Yes, already put Pakistani address for the i-130 form. In terms of any documentation to prove address, the only thing I'd have is my UK bank account which still has a UK address. Can't think of anything else that may have it. Will try anyways and see how it fares!
  10. Thanks guys. Does it come up in the interview at all? Do they question reasons behind transferring the consulate? I don't want to appear dishonest if they question where I live. Or have them use it to try to catch me out.
  11. Ok, thank you Crazy Cat. Guess it'll be a short visit with time taken off work...
  12. Oh no Do you think there's harm in trying? Because of Islamabad this whole process is going to take like 4 years for me to be able to finally be with my husband and it's stressing me out. If I can change the consulate to London I can knock off 2 years, which is significant.
