Pakistan: Embassy hasn't received petition after 2 months?!

[Nazish&Waqar 0]

Hello, everyone,

My fiance is from Pakistan. I filed the I-129F visa application in December. On March 26, I was informed by the USCIS that our petition was approved. On April 4th, the NVC mailed out our petition to the American Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan. It's now been two months, exactly, and the Embassy has failed to contact us. We have called numerous times. Most of the time, someone appears to pick up and literally hangs up without answering. Othertimes, there's a deadend after selecting all these numbers to reach a representative. We have also emailed the embassy numerous times and have not received a single respond.

On the Notice that I received from the NVC, there was a four-month expiration date written. It said on July 26th (4 months after the USCIS approved us), our application would expire. That date is quickly becoming a nightmare and real--the Embassy hasn't even informed us whether they've received our file!

Any ideas, suggestions, advice from any of you will be amazingly helpful. This is super stressful. Thank you, in advance.

Firstly, the I-129F is not a visa application form, it's a petition form. Visa application forms begin with the letters DS.

Secondly, you submitted a petition, not an application. The beneficiary will submit an application.

Finally, if an interview has not taken place prior to the expiration date of the petition, the Embassy has the ability to revalidate the petition.

Jisha, first of all congratulations on your approval (noa2 ) and let's try contacting other members who received the approval and have had the interview find out the wait time. I just received my notification of noa2 approval maybe less then an hour ago so I'm right behind you in the process. However I do have to say there is something not right with your case. The beneficiary should have received something in the mail by now I have heard 3 weeks. Look at other posts from Pakistan members.
