New Islamabad AP Tracker

Loving life · July 24, 2012

As I was talking to my dads friend today (we call him uncle), about my situation he told me his very good friend is fairly high up in the state department and forwarded me his contact info. I emailed him the required information. I hope(but dont have my hopes to high) that he can help. As I am planning to travel to Pakistan in august I really want to bring my wife back with me. I'm pulling out all the stops now. My uncle always jokes with me and says to go in front of the white house with a poster that says "I want my wife" in hopes that it would get national attention. I havent stooped that low yet.

The email I received from my dads friend who works with the stare dept. Although he never told us in his 30 year friendship with my dad on what he actually does there makes us wonder.

"I think the visa work of Americam Embassy has been shifted to a private contractor and there must be a long line of the cases in waiting. But when you come to Pakistan, we'll see what can be done in this connection. Take care and please do contact me in Lahore."

Congratulations Sabrina!

Congratulations to Sabrina.Asad.... Hope we all hear the same news soon...InshAllah.

Well friends, my wife (USC) emailed the congresswoman to inquire about our case from the embassy and in reply she got this...

"I checked with my contact at the Visa HQ in Washington who has access to the consular data base. He could only confirm that your husband’s case is still under review – I can only assume the documents you sent to the embassy have been joined to his file. I’m confident that a decision will be forthcoming but if you wish I will check on the status once again in a few weeks - that is - if your husband is not notified in the meantime."

Thats an articulate way to saying "we called the embassy and asked for the case status and that all they told us" .... why do i get the feeling that contacting congressmen and senators provides no results and or assistance.

Im wondering.... if you don't mind if I'm not on often can you help me with the tracker?... im stressed beyond comprehension now between my daughter being so very sick and working and trying to have a normal life with my husband via the pc. This AP is so heartbreaking it hurts so much now my heart i feel it tearing in two pieces. All i want is my daughter well and my husband home

I will still be here but if you come online and see a status change please feel free to make the change I guess i need a little help... and i have trouble asking but this time i really need it... if its too much for you please let me know and i will keep up my pace. But it would be helpful to know there is someone else keeping a watchful eye on the tracker... many many thanks and appreciations...

Hello. We did not get AP. We are to expect the passport within a few days I suppose. I will post the review soon.
