First of all congratulations! And happy birthday. What a great birthday gift!

And don't worry it change to AP. It does for everyone, including ours. Give it a day or two and it should change to issued. My husband's passport was ready for pick up after 2 days from the interview.

He's from Islamabad so AEG was close and opted for passport pick up instead of them mailing it.

Hi there!

I had my interview yesterday at American embassy at Islamabad for K-1 fiancé visa !

When I was asked for my fingerprints at the counter ,During that process I have seen my file , and on top of that it was stamped "APPROVED" , I was happy as I already know I am gonna approved.

Than I was called to another counter for payment of visa fee and I have seen my file again with " APPROVED" page on top of it .

Than finally I was called upon for my interview and seen my file again stating "APPROVED" . I was happy as I knew it's approved .

But than begins the interview ,I greeted the CO ,there were two white men ,CO & his colleague ,he asked me following questions?

He took my left hand finger prints again

Q:U spend some time in UK?

I replied ....studies & work .

Q: than was asked for any of my family member outside Pak

I replied ..no

Q:He asked me about my wedding plans ?

I told him ...

Q:he asked me what my family think about that marriage ?

I replied...

I don't know what was that but he was pointing on computer screen and talking to his colleague ( something he don't seem to be agreed / or happy ..God knows what ?)

Than he told me we are putting you in Adminstratibe processing AP, and than told me contact them after 1 month (if I don't hear from them call/ email them )

The whole time of my interview I was confident and peaceful ,just for a little while when he said about AP, but I greeted them and wish them a gud day ( DONT know it was a good sign to say as I was confident when he said they putting me in AP, and I said OK).

My quarry is ,was it my hardluck or something ?

As they didn't ask me anything about my FIANCÉ ,and didn't ask about any of the document neither mine / nor my fiancé .they didn't give me any clue what I'm missing or why I'm being held in AP

ANY ONE PLS COMMENT AS I AM REALLY FEELING LOW, we already make plans of our marriage etc...

Is this normal that u see yourself APPROVED & than CO PUT U IN AP????

Just wanted to say sorry this happened to you. Maybe they saw something that they wanted to check again hence the AP. This will give them extra time to do additional background checks etc. sometimes if you were abroad in a foreign country they give AP so they can check that. My husband studied and worked in the UK for 7 years and they asked a question about it at his interview, but didn't put him in AP.

I'm wondering why they didn't ask you any questions about your fiancée or ask for the evidence you brought.

Hi Frinds,

I have my interview on 8th October but the problem is that my wife had HCV positive and treated in 2010. few days back in a blood test its again positive.

I just picked the medical reports today and I asked the lady on counter that is there any problem or medical is fine. The lady told all is good but I am confused as in one day I have interview and I don't know what to do or I face denial.

Note: I declared HCV at the time of medical test and they did extra test too after that.

Any comments what should I do.

Hi every one I have a question if anyone can answer please ,I applied for fiancé K-1 visa .

My NOA -2 is expiring on, 3 December 2015 & I have my interview on 5th. And at interview CO put me on AP( administrative processing)

At interview CO didn't ask for any of the further document from me or from my fiancé ,as I have pile of documents with me ,but they kept my passport

My question is as I know AP, gonna take from days,weeks& upto year as well ,so what if I am still on AP and my NOA-2 petition expired in December first week.What gonna happen then ??

Also if some one on any visa category like marriage or visit or family etc( if they are on AP, do they get reply from consulate before there petition expired) OR is it like infinity time frame regardless your petition expired ?

First Of All thanks to all mighty Allah. I have best birthday gift ever. They approved me. Easiest interview ever.

They didnt ask anything , I am sharing my experience.

I woke up at 4am and got ready and then pray.

I hired a private car for droping as well as pickup for 1000 rs.

First every one who's applying for foreign will reach at DSS(Diplomatic Shuttle Service) first. I reached there approx 450am there were already 3 peoples waiting. Gate opens sharp 6 am. So before 6 am line became lenghty. When Gate opened Icrossed checked post and entered in a hall where u can.see many counters for different countries. USA for male is on.right side and for females is on.left side u can see USA On top.

They start giving you ticket when embassy called them. So staff come normaly at 6 am. Dont be panic if you have your intetview at 7 am. This time is for coming into Shuttle service not for your actual interview.

Anyways I got ticket and deposit my mobile phone at left corner's counter. Then u go for waiting area to enter into bus. Before waiting a security guard will check you and allow you to enter in waiting area. Bus came and a person shout to enter into bus for countries except USA. So people entered. Second bus came and all usa applicants entered. Bus reached at embasy in 7 to 8 mins.

Where we crossed a security guard. U must keep your passport interview letter and nic with you all.the time before entering in embassy. Security guard will check.IL and passport and will ask you abkut medical. Say yes if you have. Then you wil enter into main area. Then again security will check you. They asked you to take out medical reports, all documents watch , wallet belt, then they give you back after crossing the machine. U can wear belt again when u leave that door , now you will enter into main hall again where u cam see reception, where they will check yoir passport and interview letter and guve you ticket number. And told you to sit in immigratio area.

So stay calm and keep your documens with u.

Your no will be shout and he will tell you to come with just 2 pictures and nothing else. You can put our docs on your seat. When ylu go for a particular counter they ask you to put for left fingers then right four fingers then both thumbs. He asked just one question.

Who is calling you

I answered my wife.

Then gave a information paper where you can read your rights in usa.

He will tell you to sit back.

Then wait for ykur main interview. I was very nervous my hearts was beating so fast. After 15 mins thy called no. It was a counter 14 where an white american presennt , I said hello he said gud morning to me.

Then he started to review my file. On top of the file approved written but I didnt relax at that time because o doesnt mean ylu have approved too in your interview. He was reviewing my docs for 6 to 7 mins and writing in computer. So just asked me question

Have you ever been in Us?

I said no

Then he said okay and started to review again

And after some time he asked is your wife is in us right now?

I said yes

He said okay

And then he wrote and signed

And told me I am approving your visa you can get in a week by our courier service.

I was smiling at that time and said thank you sir and he smiled too. I dnt have words at that time. He didnt ask for any single documents. No evidence.

Other thing two person sittin next with me applicant of Cr1 and their CO asked alot of questions but mine was smooth. I had best birthday gift ever

Congratulations ! #

And happy birthday!

I have a question !How long is AP STATUS being updated on CEAC website ??

By saying that I mean I know it has to be in AP for several weeks ,months etc. but if the date changes often on CEAC website under AP STATUS ,is it a good sign & if some one know Or have experience to share that normally after how many date changing ..they finally see their status changed from AP to either APPROVED /DENIED ??
