My fiancé and I went to interview on March, 2013 for I-129f. After the successful interview we received a letter stating our case is in AP. The interview lady told us that there is no doubt for the relationship but they can't issue the visa at this moment. They collected my fiancé passport too and still at the embassy.


Contacted the congressman twice with no help only status date update.


This process is very frustrating. I know I cannot do anything other than wait. But this long waiting is killing us.


I have been watching most recent AP's are being cleared within 4-6 weeks in New Delhi. But ours have gone past 4 months.sad.png

I m sorry to hear that. AP can last as long as they want it to, so you can do nothing else but wait. Hopefully you will clear AP soon.

AP is a given for Pakistan.

Can not say I have seen one for a week. There is a guy on the other thread who says he has been in AP for 7 years, which I find very hard to believe.

Yea I know but some are as short as a week while some are as long as 2 years :/

There are very few cases who are approved with no AP from Islamabad. Most cases have to go through AP. We are under AP too :(

USCIS I-130 Petition for Spouse

September 2012: Filed from abroad to Chicago Lockbox

4 days later: NOA1, Routed to California Service Center

7 days later: Transferred because of new jurisdiction

5 days later: Case Status changed to: Under processing at USCIS office

NOA2 arrived 78 days after NOA1 :)

*I-130 Approval Notice hardcopy finally received in Pakistan, the only notice that arrived.

I can't imagine how you must feel having never met your son. I pray for you, I pray for everyone. My husband was in AP last year and I know the agony first hand.

It was touched, somebody looked at the file.
