New Islamabad AP-Tracker, Part II

What question they ask you and your neighbours ???? And how many people come from embassy ?

They asked about our marriage and if the people were aware if we were married or not and also they enquired about how long we stayed here...2 people told them that we are loving together for long time after marriage and they can come and visit our home directly but they refused to visit our home and left...we hope they were satisfied with the enquiry but Allah knows better what to say about the AP...lets pray Almighty bring all out of this AP very soon iA...

It is very important to the embassy that your friends and neighbors know that you are married to your American wife or husband. That is very good that people were able to say you have lived with your wife for a long time.

[AaliPDX786 30]

Usually they do a field investigation when they have doubts about the relationship. A field investigation is never a good thing. What your friends and neighbors say about you can get your visa denied.

There is no telling how long it will take before they make a decision to issue the visa. Keep checking for status updates and keep praying.

during the interview, the CO looked satisfied with our marriage and I felt he is gonna issue the visa right now and now after 8 months of AP they did field investigation which was surprising for us...but 2 people came to me and told that they were satisfied thats why they left but dunno how many people they met and what other unknown people might have said...by the way its difficult to find correct information during such random field investigations in a vast populated country like Pakistan because after their investigation we found out that there were 3 other people living in our same area with my similar name, cast and age so you are right perhaps that such field investigations can result negative.

Yes carolyn...one guy told them that he saw both of us several times together shopping, dining out and moving here and he spent time with us as well and he asked them to come and meet us...that neighbor added that me and my wife are together again for last 6 months in Pakistan and it is her 2nd visit to Pakistan so far 3rd visit including Dubai and he told them that we attended many functions within the locality hence after that they got satisfied perhaps and left...

Yes there are certain things in our marriage which u can assume as "extraordinary" like we got married on Phone while she was in States and I was in Paki (Embassy accepted this marriage and they call it PROXY MARRIAGE)...after marriage I went to Dubai where i was working and applied my wife's spouse visa and she came to dubai on Husband's sponsorship visa which is endorsed on her passport...we spent 3 months together and then decided to apply for US visa...mean while I decided to move to Pakistan after applying the US immig. visa (IR1/CR1) and came to Pakistan...Then spent 3 months together here in Pakistan...in those days there were some international political issues which did not allow suitable safety for foreigners and specially for americans so we decided that she should go to USA for few months and return after these matters are resolved and now again she is with me in Pakistan for last 6 months...my financial condition is better as well alhamdillillah so I dont find out any thing suspicious in our case except that we lived in two countries and at the time of applying visa we were in dubai...last thing which I dont think is a reason and CO also told me that it is very common in USA as well is that my wife is little older than me but she looks younger than me...lol

Let's hope for the best for all bros and sis and have a nice weekened...

Pray Allah to bring all of us out of AP very soon...iA

So my thinking was right. Normally US Embassy doesnt send their staff for field investigation unless there is something special about the marriage.

I dont think wife older than husband is an issue BUT the reason I asked about your financial condition is because US Embassy always investigates whether the marriage was Bona Fide or not.

You know brother that its a crime if someone gets married for green card and such marriages are only for sake of money. So they do ask who paid for tickets and such financial transactions to establish that nothing was given by the foreign spouse to US Citizen spouse for marrying him/her.

Maybe they think same like you said but during interview they did not ask such question to know who supports whom and if this was the case then they are very well aware that well-off person doesn't need to marry just for the sack of a US Green card or US Immigration and does not need to be with wife for months and months to prove his marriage as bonafide. Seems to be something else which is quite out of understanding and perhaps its their new rule for americans marrying Pakis...

Pray for all and Almighty bless every one.

When the embassy did a field investigation of my husband they showed people a picture of him. I keep praying and waiting for more of you to get your visas. Just know that if the embassy asks you if you can fly to America right away and you say no then they can put you back in AP and make you wait months more. Make sure while you are waiting that you are putting together the money for the flight here. My husbands visa was only valid for 1 month. The embassy never called him to ask if one month was alright they just issued the visa.

Thanks carolyn for your prayers for all others and appreciate your advice for being ready to say yes if they may ask to fly within short time...plz tell about what happened when they did field investigation of your husband...did they issue the visa in short time after that or put him in waiting for months and then ISSUED...do they care about what people say or they beleive on themselves only?
