Soo ... guys i need help i am a bit confused... so me and my fiance are just frustrated as im sure everyone else is. he had his interview at the islamabad embassy on the 19th of feb its been a month. nothing was asked from us but we were put to AP, the CO said we have to wait its part of their job to put everyone for background checks specially mens. so now i am thinking to visit my fiance who is living in pakistan. i am the petitioner i want to knw if it will be alright if i go there and come back with him once he gets his visa in hands. what do you guys say i mean what is concerning me is that i would be unemployed than but than i do have a cosponser and interview already happened so i am just confused. would there be any problem if i go visit him and stay there til he gets his visa. my lawyer said he doesnt see a problem with it but i still want opinions....

i would really like a reply back .. thank you,

Yes, of course it's OK. I have a friend who went to the Philippines to attend his fiance's interview, and then stayed until she got her VISA, and is coming home in a couple of days. So, YES, it's fine. Go, have a good time, and hopefully the visa is issued while you're there, and you can come home TOGETHER.

I would highly recommend that you visit your fiance'. Moreover, since you are United States Citizen, you can even visit the embassy without appointment and solicit information on your case. This can have greater chances of approval. AP is a dark pit and people lie in it for months. But if you have the option to visit Pakistan, do go to embassy with your fiance'. I know it will have a positive impact on the case when the COs see you two together and they can't put you in AP like this. You are a USC and you have a right to know what's going on..

Just make sure other things are ok.. AND, if you have not submitted I-864 for yourself and the joint sponsor, I suggest that you prepare those documents in accordance with the instructions, as previously I-864 Affidavit of Support was optional, but now it's mandatory for every person.

I wish you good luck!

HI my fiances interview went smooth CO said ur approved even smile on him and issued him pink slip which mean ur approved and didnt asked for anything . Also she said u can come pick up ur passport/visa in few days even he went to embassy after 5 days once he reached their they said ur visa is nt ready yet and took his passport. We r on AP since feb 5 2014. since our status changed 4 times in march it was on ready for 5 days and put us back on AP again now m literally confused.

you might want to use the islamabad embassy inquiry form and tell them this whole situation.

I understand your dilemma. I would just tell you previous practice of Islamabad Embassy.

Previously, they would outright deny joint sponsors of petitioners having no jobs or low income. They were strict on this. Now they are allowing joint sponsor, as we all know. But, it is important for the petitioner to have a job on hand, because during AP, they sometimes solicit information like recent paystubs etc. I know the frustration it can cause for your fiance' to be in AP. Maybe you could take some vacation days and go visit him.. But again it would be your choice..

But at a time like this, having a job would be important. I hope you have submitted I-134 and also I-864 for yourself and the joint sponsor. Normally they don't ask for I-864 but if you provide the same, it makes your case much much stronger.

I hope you are out of AP before you actually leave for Pakistan.

Good luck!
