Calling All AP survivors!

[chaingang 7]

Assalam-o-Alaikum!

I haven't written in a while so I thought i'd chime in and give a status update on my wife's CR-1 (spousal visa) case. Her interview was in Islamabad, Pakistan on July 3rd 2007. She was placed under A/P. I tend to call the Dept of State on a weekly basis with the hopes of good news. April will be 9 months and I am getting more and more depressed. Other than giving us the information that our application is pending....it's really frustrating. My wife and I keep kicking ourselves thinking maybe if we had done a different visa. Perhaps we could have changed her last name which incidentally is Khan (doesn't help ) I pray for all of us on AP that we are reunited with our spouses soon. Thank God we have technology to keep us connected and somewhat together.

I am still very much interested if there are any other CR-1 Applicants who had their interviews in July 2007 in Islamabad for the US. If you write to the Embassey in Islamabad in that automated response it states that until you have been in AP for 10 months not to bother even contacting them. Has any of us contacted the embassey post 10 months wait?? Do they actually do anything? Thanks VJ for letting me ramble. Thanks and God Bless

Hi all,

my husband has been on AP over 7months, I was emailing the ISB embassy as well i was getting the same automated response wait 10months and then email them. I emailed the ISB last wk or so and told them i was expecting and wanted to know if my husband would make to see his first child's delivery then the guy said he would put a request to DC for expediting the case. Other than that I havent contacted them via phone. Now the other thing is my husband work's and lives in Abu Dhabi, but since we got married in Pakistan he had to go there for the interview.

Other than that just keep hope that Inshallah this will all be over soon.

They are giving males minimum of 6 months of AP. All we can do is wait this out with God in mind. Everything will be all right.

March saw a lot of visas. Maybe April/May/summer are our months! I am praying and hoping and wishing for our time!
