WHAT HAPPENS NEXT AFTER K1 APPROVAL

[npl1aar 9]

Hello - My Fiancé had her Interview today at Islamabad embassy and she was told by the CO that her visa is approved and she will receive her passport in 10 business days. I have checked on the CEAC website .. first it had a status update on today's date .. then it became NON immigrant visa and case creation changed to today's date.. but the status shows "Ready"...What should I be looking for? Please let me know.. and I want to thank everyone here to help us through this journey...

Thanks

Congratulations!

It will change back and forth from ready to AP a couple times and then finally to issued.

There are some threads you may want to read regarding AP at the Islamabad embassy. If the IO said her visa would be ready in 10 days then hopefully you won't encounter a long AP.

I don't want to get you worked up...just to be prepared if the time between ready - AP -issued take some time.

You can look at my signature! I recently went through all this!

See, this guy called string beats (in the Islamabad AP thread) and I had same interview date (mine was reinterview though) and his case changed to Non Immigrat and creation date changed as early as 3 may.. Ours didn't until 17 May and we both were issued on 18 May..

So for him, he waited for 17 days after AP turned to Ready, while It was just one day for me.. But we both have same issue and interview and same wait period, so your case will be issued in its pre-determined period of time, but how much time each separate stage takes will vary..

• When your case goes from AP to Ready for first time it means that your case has been approved and it is READY for Issuance,
• Then It changes back from Ready to AP which means the processes of Issuance are being carried out
• It changed back to Ready which means it is ready for Dispatch
• Finally it says issued which means it has been dispatched

How much time each of these takes will vary, you might be in one of these stages for 5 days and either one might take fewer than hours. Frankly it doesn't matter cause it will hardly take more than a week now.

So believe me when I say it, You are going to be in a havoc soon - Pack your bags like right now..

And Congrats! This was an extra ordinarily smooth journey for you guys.Have a wonderful journey ahead..

Thanks so much for your comments and elaborate explanation.. I truly appreciate it, While I understand we all have to have endless patience with any immigration process .. but at times I feel we are all tested to a point you feel helpless. I am really thankful for all of your response..

Also, the comments about Kareena kapoor... Thanks - she does look like her and I love it ...:-)

May God grant us patience and strength...

Thanks

Both of your visas are in process and will be issued in next few weeks for sure!!

Thats just the way embassies operate.. wait periods are huge, but as long as you arent being rejected, stay happy n grateful !
