Hi Everyone,

I had my interview on March 20, 2013. As one would expect from the U.S. Embassy Islamabad people, I was given a blue sheet Section 221 (g), stating two fields with *.

*Administrative processing

*Joint Sponsor

Interview was pretty much generic, easy and simple and you can find the details in the review I have posted for Islamabad Embassy.

The Consul Officer completely ignored the pay stubs of my wife from 2012 and only focused on her IRS tax return transcript from 2011 in which she had not made enough because she had just finished her diploma from college, had injury at work and was not able to work for quite a few months. But nothing I said would move that man and he said, I don't think your wife's income is enough to support you. Do you have any Joint Sponsor papers with you right now? How I wished that I had them with me and maybe then he would approve me on the spot? But I had none so I told him sorry sir, I was not asked by the NVC to bring any as I did not think it would be necessary. My wife's project annual income for 2012 is $23,515 which is more than the required income stated on poverty guidelines.

Now, I have to find a joint sponsor and I don't know if I can .... also even if I can somehow find a joint sponsor, I don't know how long they are going to take to do their administrative process.

Does anyone here has experience or knows of a case that they had to find a joint sponsor and how long it took them to get approved after submitting the requested joint sponsor documents?

Hey sorry to hear that you were put in AP :( do you mind telling me what window number your consulate was on Musashii? I think my husband had the same consulate because he didn't even wanted to see our sons birth certificate from US when my husband told him we have a baby. Seems like they are just looking for a reason to put ppl in AP :(

I was interviewed at window #4. Consul Officer was a white, male american with golden yellow hair and eyebrows.

Yes, I agree with you. Maybe they are just looking for a reason to put people in AP, just the reason is random every time.

When was your husband's interview? For how long have you been in AP? Please update your timeline or add consulate review :)

But they still approve visas without AP :o I wonder what their criteria is. Maybe it is about age too. Older you are , Longer the AP is. or if you are previously married then they have to do background to find out if this is not a scam or something. I don't know :innocent:

For Islamabad Administrative Processing, is there a difference between a blue sheet and green sheet given at the time of the interview?

Blue = glue , Green = mean... in blue with AP they ask more documents to submit and u stay safe in AP too, in green no documents required but u r in AP... good luck :) pray for us :)
