Congratulations maabish.

I don't know the process for AP as my wife got the visa approved today and visa in hand today itself around 4:30 PM IST.

I do hope that you get over this process soon and be together with your beloved at the earliest.

Hi,

My Wife had her interview in Islamabad on May 7th. She received a light green paper at the end of the interview stating temporarily refused for administrative processing. Also states that it can take 2-3 months but no maximum time. They kept her passport and gave her token... give me some info since I have been calling DOS and they keep saying under administrative processing...I'm a US Citizen. We got married last year, June 10th 2009.

I wish really appreciate if someone can give their insights.

Thank you so much!!!

Please see below the paper she got after her interview on 5/7...

Hello Everyone,

My Wife had her interview on May 7th, 2010 at Islamabad, Pakistan

At the end of the interview she received a “green” color paper stating that temporarily refused for administrative processing.

I have been calling Dept. of State (DOS) almost every single day and every time I called they said, the case Is still under administrative processed.

So today I called again and they said that “AP” has been completed….WOW!!!!..When I heard that my hears could not believe this so I had the operator over the phone check with someone else and they both confirmed that “AP” is complete and they said “congratulations” and they said don’t get too excited and don’t buy the tickets yet until your wife has received the visa in her hand…

So does this mean that her “AP” is over and now she will be issued the visa??? My Wife was in “AP” since May 7th, 2010 ….I’m very happy but also a bit concerned because I want to know that once the “AP” is complete like they say it is, what happens next?...will they issue the visa now?....

I must say that I called DOS (Dept. of State) almost every single day since May 7th, 2010 and every single time I would call they would say, “It’s still under administrative processing” and when she said, “It’s completed”, OMG (OH MY GOD) I swear my ears couldn’t believe this….

I would appreciate if someone can give me her insight on what does this mean and what happens next?

Thanks again!
