i just got a phone call from the ISL embassy asking to submit the passport at AMEX cuz my husband's visa is ready....Alhamdollilah!!!!!!! i still can't believe that its done n over with!! luckily it took us about a month and 15 days!!!!!!!

Fesial - wats the status on urs?

i have been calling DOS every other day and last night i spoke to Sarah and she said that as of today my husband's case is under final review and by next week i should be hearing from them regarding the visa and if not then i need to call them (DOS) about it.... his interview was the same day as feisal's on aug 21st...Does anyone has any idea if they will actually get done in a week!!!?

Congratulations Ali!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its great to know that ur done with the whole AP process.... Good Luck!

I called DOS couple of days ago - the lady was really nice... she told me that none of the documents get to come back to washington...the consular officer is the one who is incharge of ur case and if he will need any info from the agencies in USA, it will be provided to him. Also, she said it will take WEEKS n i kept on asking abt how many months n she kept on saying it will be WEEKS lol!

Im goin to give 'em a call in a week or so again n we'll see wat they say on it.... neways for now i've got myself a ticket to karachi today for EID!!!!

Congratulations ALI and L179!!!! Very happy for u guys

WOW Congratulations waiting4approval and haquetalha!!!!! im very happy for u guys...

ALI555 - can u add my husband in ur AP list ...thanks

Feisal - Yeah thats him! i showed him this discussion form n he was like yeah he was there with me!

Feisal - I am in Houston at the moment n my husband is in karachi...so i couldn't have seen u there but my husband was there very early too ..he was at the bus stop at around 6 something...so u might've been there i'll ask him! I have told him abt u that i think ur from karachi and u would be there...neways i m just prayin that he n everyone gets out of this mess! Also, i think they 101% put those ppl on AP who travels alot...for example my husband was livin in london before, u travel to uae alot, etc. and

Oh yeah the CO told my husband that on average it takes 3 MONTHS for AP to sort out!

L179 - My husband was told to call embassy for further inquiries...so do we call DOS or embassy? n we should def meet up once u r here in Texas...

u, feisal, haquetalha, and may be waiting4 approval...

P.S Ramadan Mubarak to u all!!!

waiting for approval - his letter says that AP min 6 weeks - no time limit.

the consular officer told him that ON AVERAGE it takes 3 months.... my friend's husband got the same letter n they put him on same AP as well with 6 weeks - no time limit and he got his visa in 6 weeks!!!!! she said she started calling the embassy after 3 weeks and on the 5th week when she called the lady on the phone said that your visa has not arrived yet but go ahead and send in your passport. Despite of disagreement from everyone in the family, she submit the passport n guess wat with in 5 days they got the visa! btw it was a K3 visa..

L179- Sure thing!!!! we'll def meet up :0) I am in Houston where in TX r u plannin to move?

Meanwhile, we'll pray for each other to get done with this whole immigration process!

Feisal- They asked my husband the exact same questions! The officer didn't even looked at the photos or anything that my husband took with him. While on AP, how long should i wait before i start callin them up?

Feisal - wat time limit did they gave u? they gave my husband green form with the AP time minimum 3 weeks to no time limit!!!

Also, is it a bad sign if the CO doesn't say congratulations welcome to america n blah blah blah?????

My husband said the CO (Carl) was nice n asked him where in houston do i live n under wat COUNTY do i live in???? apparently the officer even knew abt the county n when my husband answered him Harris County the officer laughed and said u know ur geography!!!!!

Anyways AP has become a procedure now for all the applicants!!!!!! And yet again the new waiting period begins!

Good Luck to all the ppl who r goin thru AP!

My husband had an interivew today in ISL and they have gave him a green form n put him on AP with 3 months to no time limit!!!!!!!!

I have been reading this forum for quite a while now n i had made up my mind for this news but still im devasted

Does anyone know who and where to call to keep track of this whole AP drama???

@ ALI - can u please add my husband in ur list... he got his appointment letter on July 10th and his interview was today August 21st.

My husband just got his interview appointment letter yesterday. On the form it says that he needs to acquire and bring with him at the invertiew the pakistan police certificate. He has already submitted the original polic certificate signed by DIG karachi with Form DS 230. Does anyone have an idea if wats going on with that..because its not easy to get police certificates in pakistan?????????????

FEISAL- my husband has the interview on the same day u r having it... AUG 21, 2009 at 8am

im just hoping that he wouldnt have to go through the AP!!!!
