New article of shooting at Mosque. I am praying no delays for any of you that are in this process and we have a friend there now that went to get his wife and bring her back to the states.

does anyone know what the US embassy does in a stituation like this?

I emailed the embassy because now I'am also worried my husband's interview date is August 28, 2007.

Im praying that everything goes well for everyone. inshallah

In cases where unrest have been in the past the embassy/consulate will operate but at a higher level of security. If things continue to get worse around the area as in the past with Morocco and Africa before they have closed the embassy for a short time (a few days to weeks) for things to stablize and then it is reopened. I am hoping that Islamabad is able to just operate at hightened security now.

Following up on the issues in Islamabad. It's good news that the people at the mosque finally surrendered. I hope things get straightened out there.

I just got an email from the embassy today so they are working even though it sounds kind of tense in ISL.

On our case, apparently DOS just COMPLETES a security/background check but it is still the embassy that gives CLEARANCE. Here is the response we got from our inquiry about what we thought was DOS security clearance.

"Our record indicates that we have a response from the State Department and that is in review. However, it is difficult to predict that the response is a clearance. We will immediately contact the beneficiary once a clearance is received. Please check back with us after a week

Yours truly,

Immigrant Visa Unit"

Last week I was also informed from DOS that the security check has been completed; however, when speaking to ISL I was told that they will contact my wife in a few weeks or sooner; the operator refused to give any other details.

DOS does security checks as well as the embassy consulate and AR/AP can be at the embassy level as well as at any other time during your processing. There are three main checks that are done at the embassy level in the beginning Condor, Mantis, and NCIC. Depending on what the CO decides or your schooling and job can trigger a Horse, Pegsus, etc. KJO hang in there and looks like your in AR/AP at the consulate level now.

Last week I was also informed from DOS that the security check has been completed; however, when speaking to ISL I was told that they will contact my wife in a few weeks or sooner; the operator refused to give any other details.

This is normal and most times the one's answering the phone can be rude, hang up on you, tell you they will transfer to another department and your on hold for long periods of time. They do not have much information on your case and they can verify a case number but they are not privy to much information -- this falls to the CO.

I just got an email from the embassy today so they are working even though it sounds kind of tense in ISL.

This is good since there is more violence and unrest this morning as well. http://www.thenews.com.pk/ and article on MSN news.

I am also active on another forum and a gentleman from Afghanistan on CR1 just had the embassy ask for his passport back and we are hoping he has an ajudicated visa soon.

I understand your frustration but I am afraid this is the "price" you pay for being a US Citizen or LPR. If you are on a visa.....no problem.....your spouse can get visa with in a month....... US taxpayers' dollar working at best.
