New Islamabad AP-Tracker, Part II

[A and F 24]

FOR every VISAJOURNEY philosopher telling us that wife older than husband is a red flag, I ask you to contact CAROLYNHOTSTUFF.

Carolyn has grown up kids and not in child bearing age. Her husband is in the US. I know a woman who got married to a Palestinian and she was 18 years older than her husband. She was at that point of her age where 1 or 2 children are possible but she was diabetic with insulin dependent diabetes. So you might know about age, you dont know about other problems going inside a person.

And its not just husband and wife stuff. My boss's friend got a job in WORLDBANK but couldnt join because of this stupid AP.

One can never ever say a man getting married with an older woman is deemed as fraud because no one knows in what circumstances a person married. I am 100% sure that anyone who is getting married with someone thousands of miles away from him/her is purely because of love.

Criticism is very easy but the fact is that Visa Officers are given discretionary powers to ruin the lives of any human. US embassy's decisions CAN NOT be challenged in any US court because US embassies are out of US territories. Even if you give thousands of dollars to attorneys, they cant help you 0.0001% in your case.

the unfortunate thing about Pakistan is record keeping isn't very good. When people are put in AP it is difficult to verify things because of the poor record keeping in your country. I understand what it's like to be placed in AP, my husband had it in Amman, although his AP was only 10 weeks , it was still difficult, the not knowing, the separation. As difficult as it is try not to let it ruin your relationship, remember why you got married...because you love each other. It's hard to lose site of the big picture with all the waiting and stress involved in the process. I wish you all the best and truly hope and pray that an end to all of those in AP is near.

Dear bro MIMOLICIOUS...I would like to draw your kind attention towards a fact that Pakistan is considered to be one of the best record keeping countries as every Govt. or private department is computerized and I have been working in HR in KSA & UAE and had to deal with Passports of several different countries staffs around the globe and found out in 2001 that Pakistan was the only country amongst South Asia, Middle Eastern and several African countries who had Computerized Passport, Birth Certificates and ID Cards & Pakistan's National data base department (NADRA) is winning the First Prize of best quality amongst the Asian & East European countries for several years for having more advance and fast track features for the public benefits. Hence it has become more advanced these days and background checks are much easire for Pakistanis as compared to other countries but the reason for longer AP durations for Pakis is beyond undersanding...just pray and say Allah bless all and bring every one out of AP soonest...

Sis Janet...u will be blessed just dont lose hope...

regards

ALI & SANDRA

You are right and I tell you one thing only...The Holy Prophet is 15 years younger than his wife as well...so no one has any problem with this age factor and this should not be the issue of being in AP I guess too.

Exactly brother. If we talk about Muslim traditions in Pakistan, age difference is never a taboo.

How much US Embassy staff knows about Pakistan? There are many many families where woman is 10 plus years elder than man. My neighbour was 11 years younger than his wife and they are married for more than 3 decades. And honestly, everywhere we can see such marriages because our Prophet married a woman 15 years elder than him.

If we talk about the US, there are many marriages when woman is older than her husband. So I totally reject this presumption which Ebunoluwa has made.

I would only pray to God to make things easier for me and my wife because our intentions are pure.

Administrative Processing

Immigrant Visa Case Number: ISLXXXXXXXXXX 01 IS Case Creation Date: 13-Feb-2009 Status Updated Date: 17-Mar-2014

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached.

i dont think so they will issue visa to anybody this month considering the situation

I normally check the case numbers around mine since we have the same case creation dates. There were two cases that had been updating thru out Feb got issued yesterday. So you are wrong. They are issuing visas this month just like any other.
