Calling Islamabad Embassy v 3

[I and S 0]

Just send in a copy of the passport every page from front to back and take the passport with you to the interview cause you will need your passport for the medical and you have to schedule the medical prior to the interview.

Thank you for all the info. I also read your later posts and it makes the picture very clear.

NO, dad is NOT signing mom is. My dad will NOT for personal reasons. So, is it ok if mom does or will we get denied? My mom is disabled and draws a pnsion. My dad is retired military but also working. they file jointly and have large combined income. Is it ok? Does she put all of his dependents since they file jointly?

FaisalShirin4eva ... you guys have just zoomed through this process.

Congratualtions

Just a little more patience .... it is coming. Isamabad is just the slowest embassy on the freaking planet. I am sure it will be issued very soon.

I just called DOS again & this guy answered the phone & he said what I didn't wanna hear. He said your fiance is on AP. I am devastated. With the way things are b/w me and her, I dont think our relationship will last if she is indeed on AP.

What paper did she recieve at interview and what did it say? Did they take her passport? Did they tell her it would take weeks to process her visa? (That would be Administative Processing) They told most of us it would takes weeks. Administrative processing could last anywhere from a few weeks to whenever. If DOS told you administrative processing then more than likely you are in administrative processing, otherwise they would have told you that your visa is being issued. I would suggest that you both settle down. Write to the embassy asking the status of your case. PakIVQuery@state.gov Put your ISL case number in the subject line and ask them your status. Call DOS once a week to inquire about your status. Hopefully, this will not last long for you and since she is female you have a better chance of it not lasting too long. Stay Strong and be Patient.

She was cleared & got pink/red slip & yes they took her passport. CO told her that she would get her passport/visa in 7-10 days. She even asked him again to make sure she was approved to which CO said yes. I wrote to embassy on the 5th or 6 & got a reply next day saying that It takes three weeks to get passport/visa back. I dont understand why DOS is saying that she is on AP?
