Everyone going through Administrative Processing in ISLAMABAD

[ZaheersShezadi 0]

OK, sorry for the double posting, but I called DOS again because it occured to me to ask them if his case is still pending. Duh. Of course it is. She told me the same thing I told her. LoL. I said "They just told me they were trying to call him but I wanted to know if he was still pending." so she came back on the phone and said "Ma'am, it says they have been trying to call your husband since last month." and I said "I know.. he changed his number and..." and she said "Do we have your new number?" and I said "You should, they updated it." and she asked for his number, so I told her and she said "Yes, that is the number we have for him, is he just not picking up?" And I said "No, he always answers his phone." and she said "Ok, well, it shows they were calling since last month and once again yesterday." and I said "Yes, I know.. I told him already, he will call them tomorrow." and she said "Ok." and I said "But i wanted to know if he is still in AP or...." and she said "As far as I can see it says he is still pending" and I said "Do you know what they have been trying to call him for?" and she said "No, it just says he is still pending and that they have been trying to call him." and I was like "Ok, well, I appreciate it." and she said "You're welcome, have a good day!" and I said "Yep you too." and that was it.

Any ideas, folks? I am not too worried, I am feeling good at least they have been trying to contact him. But why didn't they email us if they have been trying for 2 weeks? Oh well. take care all. Allah Hafiz.

And we all know how much our parents love us , I remember my last day at Pakistan how my parents were feeling at home and at the airport , definitely Yasir's parents had same feelings , and now just after one month what would be the feelings of those parents to receive the dead body of their son. OH Allah , loosing our loved ones is the worst part of the life .

Thats so sad dear today as i was going work i saw a dead body and when i reached hospital where i work i saw a dead body there and when i came back home from work i had my neighbour died at young age with heart attack and ya sad news ,

May Allah give them all rest in heaven . yes i remember Saba_Yasir he just received his visa last month or in january. and his AP was for one month.

See Tara ya remember i told u that as soon as ur husbands 4th month of AP starts he will hear something from embassy, my wife also called DOS in january and they told her that embassy have been trying to call ur husband but they never called me so we sent them an email what asking what they want and they replied my email and they mentioned that they want my brothers names . dont wait for them to call ur husband u just send them email and when they read ur email they will ask u question for brothers names or maybe for passport it can be anything they can ask .

dont wait for their call they would not call like they did not called me, i am always with my cell phone waiting for the call. send them email and tomorrow have ur husband call embassy .... i hope the best for u.

Very Sad News About Saba Yasirs husband - May ALLAH Grant her the strength to bear this big loss.

[ABENITEZ 0]

Tara, I'm guessing its either to submit the passport or they need some other document from him. Either way, the case is moving forward. He might even be with you for the birth! Just have him call ASAP and find out what's going on. Let us know!

[BellaChele68 4]

Dont tell me, i remember her.............

Oh my word, that's the saddest story....my heart is bleeding for Saba and I'll include her in my prayers. What a devastating tragedy for her and the family. My deepest sympathies.

DOS: Washington DC office contact information for cases that have been transferred to consulate

202-663-1225

for the spouse CR-1 information I had to dial, 1,4,2,3,3,0

Hopes this helps anyone looking for additional information on their case and not receiving any information from direct inquiries. In our case I was told....case is open. That's it. They reflected my inquiry a couple of weeks ago but nothing else. :-(

[ZaheersShezadi 0]

Oh Bankermai.. I am so very sorry for Saba sister! I am trying not to let the tears come in my eyes, but that is horrible. I read this SAME exact situation just a week or two ago on one of the other threads. the lady was USC and her husband from somewhere in Latin America. He finally got the call to pick up visa and before he could even get to USA he died suddenly. She didn't say how. It breaks my heart. I worry so much about Zaheer's blood pressure because he has been diagnosed with high BP. I keep telling him to eat less salt. He never eats meat. rarely even chicken. He is pretty much a vegetarian. So, I think it is hereditary since his mother also has high BP and his sister. His two brothers do not show any signs. But Oh! It is so hard to be away from the ones we love. When I was in pakistan, I was so scared for my father because he is getting older. Now he is 60 yrs old in 2 weeks. When i was overseas I prayed all the time that Allah doesn't let anything happen to him. He gets depressed so much lately due to Florida's high unemployment rate. He cannot find a job and he is always in deteriorating health.

Anyhow. I am so sorry to change subject. I am just emotional right now. I am trying not to think of what has happened to Saba sister. I wish Allah gives her strength. This is such a tragedy. Are you nearby to her, Bankermai? Like same city/state? Does she have any other relatives in USA? Cousins, aunts, Uncles? I pray the best for her. Oh I hope Allah gives her so much strength now. this is a very sad news. Please tell her that I will pray for her and not to shed too many tears, they are very precious.

We should all cherish our loved ones every single day of their lives. I know we all do our best, and then we still feel guilty after someone has been called to Allah like "We could have visited/called more often...." but, Allah knows the day of our birth, marriage, death.... before we even take our first breath in this world. Insha'Allah, Saba sister will find comfort in Almighty. My hands are shaking so much, I am afraid I cannot type much more.

I want to just say thank you, also, to all who wished me best luck toward Zaheer's case. thank you Rana bhai, also, for always thinking positive for me. We pray for you and Patricia also every day. If it is just additional info they want, i am not concerned. At least it is a contact. Please keep us in your prayers and baby Zainab too... she will be here in 2 weeks from today!! (if she doesn't try to make a break for it early).

My prayers are with you all and best wishes to you and your families.

Allah Hafiz.
