I understand that feeling wish i could also go today.. if i could i would...Have a safe and wonderful trip... and I don't think I have you on our tracker but if you want us to add you I can. I just need your information... CR1 or IR1? Obviously female beneficiary and date of interview

Unfortunatley my daughter had a bad set back last night with her brain tumor ..She is ok this morning but not without lots of medication and praying ..... now this process is feeling it has truly failed us. But we remain strong and faithful that in the end our family will be together!!!

All my prayers go out to you and your family. There is no words to tell but may Allah bless you and your family.

They dont' request this information unless they are finishing the case.. so it looks like you should have good news very soon!!!!

I wouldn't do it so soon after the denial.. have her gather information and documents to prove she will come back and over the course of about 6 months maybe try again. If she emails her family about the trip have her use that too... it should show how long they want her to stay and how she has to come back to her own life in pakistan...

so if her brothers contact congressman and they make some request is it possible to re consider their decision?

I doubt it since it's not a spousal visa or family visa the congressman prob wont even touch the visit visa.. just tell her to wait a few months before trying again in the meantime have her gather evidence she will be returning to her life in pakistan

All my prayers go out to you and your family. There is no words to tell but may Allah bless you and your family.

thank you... im beginning to feel this process has failed us as I watch our daughter deteriorate before my eyes.. the last two nights its been pure misery and pain for her no sleeping just crying in my arms bcos of so much head pain... I pray to Allah that the embassy have compassion and after a year of AP they finally release us from this purgatory and our family complete so if my daughter does have brain surgery he's here supporting me and being there for here where he should be

Celebrating my 1 year anniversary of AP without much hope from DOS. Still pending AP :(((

:crying: im so sorry... im looking at our 2nd anniversary in a few short months and its heartbreaking

I'm sorry Eabbas about Kate's condition. I hope you had a better night. I wish the immigration understood your situation and had a little compassion for your family. This is a torturous process and I pray you hear a good news soon. Please dont hesitate to let me know if you need anything. You are always in my prayers.

Might not be the right proper question to ask, but have we noticed some trends for immigration approvals?

I keep noticing that Male from pakistan applying for visa tend to be placed in AP more often, not that many females?

also my fiance's interview is going to be scheduled soon she is a bit worried about this also.

any trends we have noted of Females applying for Fiance visa?

Females don't usually get AP and when they do it's shorter then the males. That's what I've noticed.

good to know, is that the same for k1 and k3 ?

btw does anyone know which language is it preferred to give interview in? my fiance is leaning towards Urdu more then english, she understands very well and can speak also but shes not as fluent i think its more of a confidence hold up.

hey dear do you think language can affect the interview, do let me know too but I will go for english because they may get confused after holding degrees and being in professional life for many years and having many international trips and still cant speak in english, i am just thinking about those facts thats why english is prefered . i guess so , what do you thnk????
