if no no document was checked, then the namechecks are not finished.

Since the passport was taken, you should have some good news later.

Oh gosh, I am sooo sorry that happend to you ..... What A-holes... But if it is any consolation, it is a very good sign that they kept your passport and got your cell number... If they did not intend to issue the visa, they would have given you the passport back. Chin up... Keep strong and have belief that it will work out... That is all that you can do at the moment... Give them a few days to verify all the stuff and look through everything and I think you will get your visa!!!!

I am sorry that you had such a difficult interview. If they were to ask me the population of my city or state, I would not be able to answer.

I know that it is painful that they did not tell you that you are approved today, but the good news is that they kept your passport. Try to take that as a positive sign.

You are Pakistani but how did you manage to have the interview in Saudi Arabia? Was the VNC process delayed in anyway for this?

Sorry for your situation but it is a good sign that they kept your passport.

Fiaz, Yes I COMPLETELY agree with this.....so stay positive and tell Brenda "NO tears" and I pray your AP goes by smoothly and quickly Inshallah you will be with your love soon. I hate they acted so horrible but these things are challenges to test you. I truly believe everything will work out fine since they did keep your passport and took the number. You have to look at the positive things and try to not let the negative things bring you down.

Fiaz Bhai... do not worry. The fact that they kept your passport is a good sign. You shouldn't get disheartened by the AP. When Zaheer and I went for his Interview on the 2nd (same day as yours) in Islamabad, we had our minds set that we were most likely going to get AP too. They didn't ask to see any of our evidence, just asked me how long have I been in Pakistan. Zaheer told them since Aug 2008 and the guy looked shocked then i said "No, I left for USA in Dec and came back again in Jan" so.. he was like "Oh, that makes a big difference". Seems that if what Zaheer had said would be true, we would get denied because of lack of Domicile on my behalf. Anyhow, we didn't get any slip. No blue, no green, no pink, no white. Just he gave us back original documents, returned our passport with a purple sticker on the back of it and gave us a list of Approved Couriers in Pakistan and circled the one in Sialkot. He said "This is where you submit your passport when we call you, then we will return to them your visa and passport" He said there is a mandatory Administrative Processing, there is no problem or anything, just they have to do it (I think it has to do with the fingerprints). He said there is no specific time limit but that the AVERAGE time is between 2-3 months but it can be shorter or longer. So, Bhai. Keep your chin up. You can always do what we did, we were so nervous about this whole thing, why didnt we get a slip? Why did they give us back passport? So we called the embassy to ask and the guy we spoke to said It really doesn't matter whether or not they keep your passport and also he said that by reviewing our case number, it was written in our file that the case was approved. So, Insha'Allah, its just a matter or time. At least you are in Saudi Arabia. I have been here in Pakistan with Zaheer since August, originally, and then since January I haven't returned to USA. I miss my family, I miss my food.. etc. But I am sticking it out for him. Now, we are expecting a baby in March, I just worry what will happen with us. So, please bhai, pray for us and we shall pray for you and Brenda. We also were crying after the interview, but now we had time to think about it all.. and everything is fine. AP is mandatory either way, so, keep faith in Allah, bhai. It will be ok.

Believe me it is a good thing they kept your passport and mabye they ask so many questions to see how you would respond. They were trying to intimidate you, but you held firm and gave all information to support you had bonafide relationship... so keep the faith and don't lose hope, I believe you will get your approval and all this stress you are feeling now will seem like a bad memory...

I'm sorry Fiaz. However, them keeping your passport is definitely a good sign. They can't hold your passport for very long (i don't know if it is against any law but it will definitely impede your right to move around freely) so I don't think they'd want to hold it for so long.

I will keep you in my prayers.

In my personal opinion you took over whelming items to support bona fide marriage, this might irritate visa officers.

I hope you already get the comfort you need at this time from your fellow VJ'ers. Just like what I told you on the phone last night, it's a good sign they took your passport.

Be cool buddy.
