Oh OMid,

We went through Abu Dhabi consulate b/c my husband lives there........so there they post the case num once AR is completed...........

Thanks for telling how you found out about the number I know the Islamabad embassy does not have anything listed about the visas on it. And our cases are stuck and not in name checks so we are getting blanks when we call the DOS numbers as well. I am so very happy that your case is finally completed. When is your husband coming?

Me too. Several show the interviews in advance and then are showing the cleared visas.

Amen. I would love to know something instead of sitting in the dark. I think all of us would love just a little advice or updates on our cases that were from persons in the know. And our AP cases what is so secretive on them now? Already had field checks why can they not tell us something instead of no updates from the embassy since 12/13/05?

Double Amen Mary!! I'm so sick of hearing ".....{pause, pause, pause}...{read, read, read}.. ya, that case is still pending"

The hubby and I decided not to call DOS until March - the bad news always put me in a bad mood.

I agree Laney call them and let us know. The paper mail is so slow and it should be at NVC now. Good luck.
