Karachi_guy I understand your pain and confusion. It seems that 3 years would have been enough time for all security checks, field investigations and what ever else they needed to do to finish your case. No one understands how AP at the Islamabad embassy works. Some people get their visa right after the interview and others must wait for months or years.

It is your decision to make about what steps to take on your case. You can take legal action or continue to wait. I was just giving you the facts. May God bless what ever you decide to do.

No bhai, I got my last updatet on 22nd December. My office wanted me to go on foreign trainings but My passport is with the US Embassy. Now they have started making fun of me regarding my passport which got expired in June 2014. Many even are asking me whether my white American wife has left me or not because they think US Embassy doesnt take that much time in giving visa. More humiliation and pain I get from people due to their ridiculing. I would simply say that God would dispense justice and the pain I am getting, God willing, either that visa officer or her children would suffer such kind of pain. US Embassy screwed my life, career and family life. Its 42nd Month or precisely 3 years and 5 months since I am in AP. I honestly dont have craze to be in the US but unfortunately I am married to a lady who happens to be an American citizen. Is there anyone reading our posts on this forum? Any policy making senator or congressmen?

My husband says the same thing, he's like my excitement is going down and down over U.S. nor does he have any craze, I dont even know who to blame anymore, our kismat (destiny) the embassy the visa officer, congressman, senator or policies? This has been the hardest test of my life so far, the only reason I think they put people in long APs is to truly test their marriage, i have read a lot on security checks online, even a visa mantis check takes max 4 months, and not all types of checks apply to a person, it all depends on their nationality. The maximum to give them time is 6 months, anything after that is pure cruelty on human rights. What priority does administrative processing cases have? do our files just sit there and collect dust. I feel like writting to every congressman and senator in every state and be like take a good look at your policies and protocols,, I understand national security but why are innocent couples being subjected to this? At least give a time limit, I have read on other US embassies from other Muslim countries, who have a different way to track administrative processing, even have stated on the website to give them six months max, Islamabad embassy is doing nothing beside sitting there and drinking tea and coffee. Dont the employees there have families or spouses? who is training these people? Couples on here such as myself are waiting to start their families, start their lives together and embassy is taking their sweet time, as if they are doing us a favor, there not, its because of our applications and fees , they have a job and money to feed their own families on the expense of us.

Im so scared of the unknown, I have never felt so helpless in my life as I do now.

You're right, I really don't understand them. I think AP should never take more than 1yr max! They should just take a couple months, if they want to investigate why don't they just do it here in America? They should do a quick security check in Islamabad, give the visa to the person and continue doing an investigation when the person is here... I wouldn't mind them coming to my home every week to check on my husband and I if they want to see if we really have a true marriage! They can check on us here all they want! We have nothing to hide. Honestly their AP system sucks and it's pointless with no reason behind all this! Totally unfair...

They do it here too in America, both petitioner and beneficiary are checked but I guess since fingerprints are taken from the beneficiary, they get checked out more in detail. I agree, I am willing to give them evidence of our marriage every month, come stop by , drink tea with us lolz do whatever it is you have to but plz let us be together. If we look at CR-1 cases, which is what I have filed for, the beneficiary already gets a two year green card and then you have to remove conditions, in a lot of cases a couple is called in for a interview to submit evidence of still being together, so its like their doubting their own work, if you have made a CR-1 category, then do the rest of your work here in U.S. The only positive thing about this all is the more time they take, my husband will be eligible for a ten year green card if this goes on longer and so is everybody else who have been waiting way longer then us.

what is your husband's thoughts these days? Mine is pretty fed up lately.

Lol Yeah it's true I forgot about that they do security checks here too, I don't know then what is it that they do, it's fustrating and soooo stressful! The 10 year green card is the only good thing about this like you said because then there's no need to go through a process again to remove the conditions.

My husband and I have been arguing a lot these days due to the stress he gets so depressed because of his friends making fun of him and everyone including family keep asking him when is he leaving to America..it's so sad he has to say not yet. Even I get so angry when my family and friends ask me when is my husband coming, they probably think our marriage is a lie or something else going on. ...

Yes exactly, people have no sympathy and no empathy. Rather they make fun because generally people like to diss others. Anyway I would do sabar and what else can we do.

Yes that's right, people just don't understand our situation, nothing else we can do and make DUA for others and ourselves...and I really hope you get your visa soon since you have been waiting for a very unfair long time like many others here
