Hello All,

 

My husband had his interview at the Islamabad embassy in Pakistan on August 28, 2017. He was put on Administrative Process for further investigation. 3 days later we received an email that they wanted the applicants sibling names along with DOB's, social network names, email addresses he has used for the past 15 years, his address, and work history. Did anyone else have to go through this and if so how long does it take to end this process. The CO also kept his passport and handed him a paper that has states his rights in the united states . does anyone what what that means?

keeping passport is a good sign, send them all the details to whatever they ask for could take up 30 days to 60 days to review the documents, and AP could take days to weeks to months.

Assalam o Alekum and hello everyone...

 

I need help and insight from someone who had similar experience.

My timeline again..

 

* I am under category F2B

* I had my interview on April 25, 2016

* Received white slip with AP and asked for documents to prove my eligibility and that I have not overstayed in United States.

* Sent documents as I received from different authorities. Last documents (regarding case) were sent on June 24, 2016. I am sure I had made my point with evidence that I never overstayed and I am eligible for visa.

* Case status is Ready since May 2016

* There were many updates in between

* Status changed to Administrative Processing sometime in February 2017 but changed back to Ready after a few days

* Around third week of February had a field officer from FPU (Fraud Protection Unit) from US Consulate Karachi. He was inquiring if I was married. He asked my neighbors and people working at my father's house. I am sure he left satisfied. He told me that your case will definitely complete in maximum three months.

* In around April or May 2017, I was just playing with my browser and somehow accessed my application which showed ''not completed."' I just opened it, confused thinking what to do, and while reviewing just went to the last page of application and resubmitted the application. After that I emailed confirmation to the IV unit.

* I may had emailed many times after that and always received same reply that case was in Administrative Processing. Last email received was I believe May 05, 2017

* On August 1, 2017 embassy emailed and asked for updated medical and fresh photos.

* I was able to get medical on August 29, 2017 and sent it to embassy on August 30, 2017.

* There was an update on 6th and 7th of September, 2017 (I think)

* On September 12, 2017 embassy emailed for new fingerprints and oath. They scheduled an appointment at 8AM on September 21, 2017.

* I arrived at embassy on September 21, 2017. I believe I was sitting in consul area at around 730-745. We had to wait for a very long time. My number was 333 (which was 33rd in immigration visa line)

* I had a good chat with consul officer. A different officer was assigned to my case. He asked me one question about when I left US and asked for four-finger-prints and asked me if everything I mentioned was true and I said absolutely.

* I asked officer how long more it will take. I asked him because he did not tell me those magic words other consul officers were telling their clients/applicants. All applications were told that their visa was approved and they will receive in 2 weeks.

* He told me three different things. First he told me he does not know anything about my case and that he was just assigned this case. He looked at the screen and told me (may not be in this order but he meant it) we have everything and it all looks complete and good to go.. it all looks good and should be issued in a couple of days. He never said approved. I asked him about how many days?.. and he was looking at the screen and told me two days and maximum a week. I asked him if I can contact him directly and he told me to contact them if I don't hear anything in 2 weeks.'

* I had an update on September 29, 2017

* I understand that I should not had emailed at this stage but today I emailed the embassy and asked for current status.

 

Need to know if someone had similar experience. Thanks
