Everyone going through Administrative Processing in ISLAMABAD

[Hopeful786 0]

Once it is 60 days, that is when you should call to follow up. I checked on the NVC website that it is preferred if the applicant waits 60 days, if they don't hear anything after 60 days they should call

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!

Our record indicates that the case is still pending under administrative process and we will contact the applicant(s) upon completion of this process. Also, time duration for the process is always approximated therefore maximum cannot be predicted.

I hope this information will be helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you required any further inquiry.

AP is like an energizer bunny

Omar, did ISL email you this information?

i met someone in emirates office we went there to book a flight for my cousin and we met a person who was recently approve and he told me that his ap was for only 17 days but his visa printing process took more then a month.

I guess its true...... I didnt hear back yet to collect the passport.Members here said it takes 2-3 weeks.Probably visa printing process is taking a bit longer now as they are clearing more cases from AP,which is even better.So as long as I know,its coming,I dont mind waiting.My hubby has already put his resignation but he still has to work till the 31st so no rush anyways.

Well atk passport was submitted on the 7th of Aug right? which was friday don't count sat & sun.So its been 5 business days only if u count, since this week obviously we have holidays so in my opinion you should get your passport probably next week or so IA.

P.S They usually say passports can be picked up from AMEX in 2 weeks.So you good to go atk.

Hi! It looks like my husband ran into this same guy when he bought his ticket. Interesting!

Ok, it appears ISL and DOS give everyone the same general messages and it does not change until you go into Final Review.

I am praying for all you still in this dreaded AP. Don't give up and be strong!

Pray for me, my dh is coming home in two days please pray he does not get lost in the JFK airport because he must shuttle to La guardia! OMG I am so scared!

Good luck!

Don't worry Laguardia is only 15 mins drive from JFK.If he misses the super shuttle tell him to just take a yellow cab most yellow cabbies r desi so nothing to worry about.

I had a question, did anyone have to make an appointment to have a medical exam done at the medical center in Islamabad or you just walked in on any working day?

I emailed the medical center and said for the applicant to come in on any working day, the medical exam is done in a day and the results will be given after 48 hours... are we talking about the Aziz Medical Center?

Well they call it an appiontment but actually it is like a walk-in.I called myself from here to get the appointment for my hubby like around june 1st,the lady was like when is his interview,I told her june 24th,She goes ok "app 17th ki morning ko aa jaiy " as the results only takes two days.I asked her can he come early she said yes.She didnt even get his name or any thing so I figured its a walkin and my hubby had his medical done on the 9th.
