New Islamabad AP-Tracker, Part III (merged thread)

[sarahch 68]

I can't believe how irresponsible are the people at the embassy! My husband called NVC... And they told him that the day of the interview the CO noted on the 221g that he gave to my husband that we must submit proof of relationship between my husband and I...are they serious?! The 221g slip says absolutely nothing! The CO didn't check anything on the slip! The only thing he checked was the box for AP and told my husband to just wait and nothing else was needed... So now the embassy thinks we haven't submitted anything these 5 months! It was the CO fault! If he would've noted it on the 221g slip we would've submitted everything that same week! These People are so wrong.

Omg your AP might have ended a while back , all this wasted time of agony, and still we dont know how long they will take to review this new evidence. When. My husband first got the 221g the CO typed out actually what we needed to give them, they were no tick marks , just what they were asking for.

Exactly my point! I really can't wait to be done with all this, I know all of us who are suffering will be finished with AP some day Inshallah.

Hi VJs...

This year is very strange and slow than previous years...Last year March was very fast and full of hustle and bustle and we were listening news of updates and visa issuance but this year is quite slow and lazy...dunno whats the reason why Embassy is not working as faster as last year or have not gotten approval from USA for huge lot of visas...

Hey

I do feel the same way that I am stuck in a dark hole of AP and seems to be never ending...we dont need updates instead we need visas to be with our loved ones...its totally a cruelty and nothing else than that...visas never take such longer time...1, 2 or 3 months are enough but years...beyond understanding...

Just pray Allah bless all and bring us all out of AP very soon

HI VJ Members, I need your help. I know that some of you are longer in AP Process but this AP thing seems to not get over. My husband is in AP since 25 months and I a a U.S. born citizen and stayed here all my life in U.S. We have a 2 year old child mashallah . I went to Pakistan twice after marriage to live with my husband. Once I lived with him for 8 months and this time I lived with him for 1 year. I sent repeatedly emails to U.S. Embassy Islamabad about our case but most of the time they don't reply and if they do they just give the standard AP response. His medical expired back in February 2014 but they are not even wanting a new medical. I came back last week to U.S.A. and it is just so hard living without him again because everyday my child is crying for his daddy and I cant bear this seperation. Do you guys know anything I can do that will make the embassy issue his visa. I contacted senators and congressmen but they are also unhelpful....please help me out.

I know the waiting hurts. I waited for over 4 years for my husband to get here. Really there is nothing you can do. If you have proof the the embassy has been making mistakes on your case that is making it take longer i might be able to help you otherwise you have to be strong and wait. You have been blessed to be able to spend so much time with your husband. Let that bring you some comfort.

My interview is scheduled on 20 April. I am already scared after seeing so many people in AP here and hearing scary stories about islamabad embassy. Any advice friends?

Take proof of your relationship with you. Original nikkah (urdu and english), letters, photos, emails, plane tickets, skype convos, etc. Try not to be nervous and answer all questions truthfully. If you are male, be prepared for the AP slip, but hopefully you will be approved.

I am so sorry you are going through this, the waiting and not knowing is horrible. I am so happy to hear though that you have had the opportunity to live with your husband for some time during this terrible process. Has the embassy requested any information from you since you have been in AP?

Thanks for your advice. i am a male and already prepared for any worst scenario. I am planning to take my spouse with me on interview. Does it make any difference?

From previous posts I have seen that it doesn't make much difference. I don't think they allow the spouse in the interview room. Is your wife a US Citizen? They may not allow her to enter the embassy if she is not. Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

[Z786 11]

But i have seen few people here taking their spouses to their interviews. I dont know it is advisable or not .. My wife and 1 year old daughter are both USCs. so i thinking to bring both of them. Atleast they wont be as doubtful about the relationship as they are in many cases. But i am still confused.
