New Islamabad AP Tracker

Faisal khan · June 9, 2012

Congrats. I will most likely have to do the same thing. I have already wasted 3.5 years on a K1 for them to use the excuse it Expired. That is bureaucracy at it's finest and it was unjust and grossly unfair. I have contacted a Lawyer who has submitted a request via Legalnet.com for them to investigate. Additionally I am seeking the help of the Senator. I have little faith that either will be successful at persuading the ISL Consulate to reconsider. This means starting over with a K1 or getting married and hope they approve that. I believe I have seen some examples on here where even though they married they were still denied. I wanted to get married in the US so my family and friends could attend but I guess that is out of the question now. And I just want to say that what they are making the EAbbas family go through is criminal and I am sorry for that and I pray for you every day.

Ohhhhh no you have been waiting 3.5 years for k1, who suggested you to wait for that long for K1 !!! wise decision would be go for marry asap.

Want to share with you all.

For Islamabad, believe me involving senators or congressman does not help at all, and having lawyer involved in admin process is waste of money, every lawyer promise to help you out in admin process but these are just efforts to make some money.

having AP from Islamabad is matter of national security and U.S is not like Pakistan that is why no work around in U.S in terms of AP at-least.

Beauty of Democracy in U.S is I wrote an email to president Obama and he replied to my concerns after 3-4 months, may be cuz of bulk of emails.

I know that Pakistanis have been caught a lot of fraudulent immigration cases that's why it is Islamabad U.S embassy responsibility to filter those fraud cases.

Since last few years we have been found bad guys in U.S found involved in illegal, even Pakistani govt does not take care right of their own people then why other country will take care of us.

Sorry guys but we are providing reasons to U.S embassy to treat all Pakistani people as fraud people that's why they want to wash us thoroughly before letting us enter into their country.

Specially cases of DESI and GORA Shadi where unmarried guys getting marry with divorced ladies having kids and they are not taking care of their religion/appearance/children/age/education. Even purpose of these kind of marriages can be identified by us !!!

I am sure that if U.S allow to marry with U.S donkey to offer nationality, Pakistani guys will be interested for that just for the sake of getting entered into U.S,

I believe U.S embassy making decision on fair bases but off course they are taking long time because of number of cases filed in U.S embassy.

Pakistanis are very intelligent nation but our direction is wrong, from Govt sector to public sector every one do corruption and want short cuts.

It is heart breaking to have new story every day here in this thread, but I am sure there are many black sheep s with us here who are crying with white sheep s as well and they are responsible for that not U.S embassy.

SchipM8 I totally agree with Faisal Khan... k1 do expire unless on AP as they will extend the expiration date for AP so yes, go and marry but you need to be sure you know why they sent the case back in the first place so that the reason they did won't follow you thru the CR1 process.

And while its totally heartbreaking for us there are so many real relationships being put thru this heartache for those that went before us for the wrong intentions just as Faisal Khan has said...

One rotten apple can ruin the entire basket

haha you are funny man. Whatever you have said is sad but true. The most unfortunate part is that people just want to leave Pakistan and never come back at any cost, whether is US or any other country it doesn't really matter B-)

LOL!!!! I saw that toooo nice to laugh once in a while

and just a quick update on our daughter.. they gave her medication to reduce the swelling in her brain so that hopefully we can take a slow methodical approach to any surgery they decide to do so that it lessens her chances of bleeding to death during the operation. I know Allah has plans for us and I have to remain faithful that there is a reason to such delay for us.

I celebrate with all of you who have gotten finished quickly with AP and visa's issued but I do grieve for not having our family reunited right now. Wishing all of you luck this week and remember that you are not alone in any of this!

worth_the_wait · June 11, 2012
