ATK, any news from AMEX for your husband's passport?

[waiting4approval 2]

I called again (more like my co workers asked me to call again because taht's how depressed I looked) and I got a very nice lady... Once I gave my case number, she said.. "didn't you call an hour ago?" I said "yeah but the other operator has left me very confused and upset so I am calling again to double check" I explained the situation to her and she said, "File STAYS in Islamabad until they decide to refuse the visa so yes your file is still in Islamabad, investigation CAN happen in Washington and not every case requires taht.. in some cases, embassy is only checking teh police certificates, etc. etc.. and your case is in Islamabad" Most of it didnt make sense to me but since she was a very polite lady, I didn't argue with her.. I asked her if she could tell me about the final review or anything like that.. she said no I don't have that information here..She also mentioned that usually the embassy clears everything before the information gets updated in our system so as soon as your husband would receive the call from them, you would know it's over!

Am I happy with the response? NO but would I just let it go today and call again tomorrow? YES

As MaryandMian mentioned, AP can certainly mean a lot of things. It is a vague investigation, vague in its location. It can be a field investigation, document verification, or just a simple name check which would be required to go through Washington, so if your case is at ISL, it's a possibility that it is just a verification of the relationship, or forms, or a field investigation.

thnx every one.

my wife called today isl emb. they said they have sent it on tuesday. she called amex but they dint recieve it yet. now tomorrow independence day or i can say tricky partition day, so evething will be closed. we hope now inshaAllah she will get visa in her hand on monday.

cant wait to hold my baby boy in my hands after long time.

waiting 4 approval.

looks like you r close to the visa call inshaAllah. ISL is back on feet now. dont worry. inshaAllah you will get a good call soon too. more we wait, more you get fruits later.

Good luck to all including myself.

keep praying. Allah (swt) is giving us all a chance to turn to him and bow down and ask his forgiveness and mercy on us all. He is the greatest he is most merciful.

sometimes we, in great anger or depression , get so much disappointed that we mgiht say some improper words (kufr)or etc. that we have to be careful.

Allah (swt) is with those who are patient. may Allah make it easy on all going through this. Aameen.

truthonlyplz and Hopeful786... I really wish this is exactly what it is.. close to ber over and done with but that would be just a false hope.. nothing is certain until my husband is here! Every step that I took in immigration has been a hurdle except the NVC part so I don't know how to stay positive and steadfast!

Thanks for the well wishes!

You are right, until your husband comes here you will always be anxious and worrying all the time.

Think of it this way, you guys are practically done with immigration, the interview was passed everything is done... all that is left is AP and that is it. Don't worry about where your case is at right now, be happy that a lot of people have been recently getting out of AP in a matter of 2 weeks to 3 months.

Your Right hope i think the same way,I mean for me everything is done and i had so many hurdles to come this far.... and IA i will be out of AP very soon....

Patience is a great virtue, and we have yet some time. We have to communicate with great care to ensure that renegades do not plot against the survival of the Zombies ...

and this is exactly what saddens me the most.. interview is supposed to be the last step for the rest of the world but just because of our "country of origin" we have to endure the pain of AP.. I have a history of 33 months of AP for myself with USCIS so it just scares the heck out of me.. I can't wait for this ordeal to be over now!

oh well, since we were told 2-3months, I shall not worry until after 3 months but I guess I have had enough of being patient :$

I will keep you all in my duas to give you all patience as well as myself and hopefully before ramadan, you and your spouses/fiances can reunite. And if you don't reunite by then, the only thing that I can think of is, at least you know what your Eid gift will be insha'Allah lol

haquetalha - best of luck....

waitingforapproval - I truly understand what you mean. Ops at DOS seems to have a very dead ended conversation. They kinda leave you with nothing to say except...ok thankyou!! LOL So much for paying taxes! I called the USEM and they said AP pending (two days ago) then i called the DOS yesterday and all she said was, there has been no change since you called the embassy two days ago. So what could I say? Ok thank you!
