hi all

i am here to share with u my case detail and get some assistance at this stage as its too hard to wait any more now....

STORY: i was interviewed last year n the month of February(06 Feb:2007) at the US Embassy Islamabad for the k3 spousal visa and was told that it would take 45 days for the embassy to complete the additional administrative process and respond to me.....more i was handed over a blue sheet 221g asking me to provide a cosponsor....so with n 2 weeks after my interview i provided them the cosponsor docs and they confirmed the receipt/acceptance of it when i emailed them....in June 2007 some persons from embassy visited my village and inquired about my family and my relationship and got clear report from there...after that each time i emailed the embassy they used to tell me that its Pending for admin processing .....i had been calling/emailing embassy and DOS continuously and got the same wording again and again....the embassy is no more replying to emails....after some 16 months in pending when i called Department of state in July 2008 i was told that the case is out of pending and that its now under process....i am calling DOS every week (some times twice a week )and now listening to this different sentence that its now under process....when i called DOS this week (22 august 2008)......i was told that its still under process....when i asked that why my case took so much time....the lady(DOS) told me that the embassy had sent a follow up with ur case ....she did not explain it..and did not tell me that how much time more it can take.....so now i am confused that

then she needs to get them on the phone and ask for the immigration liason sorry spelling prolly wrong but she needs to be aggressive in contacting any congressman any senator sooner or later someone is gonna step up in our case it didnt help any cuz of where we are in the process but ur case is different and it has been way to long islamabad is mmm well they are not one of the better embassies as far as im concerned we have had to deal with them in the past will put u in our prayers and dua
