Thank you for contacting the Nonimmigrant Visa Unit of the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan.  We appreciate your interest in traveling to the United States.

 

Your visa application is undergoing routine but required administrative processing, an integral part of the visa adjudication and issuance process that can be neither waived nor expedited.  Most administrative processing is resolved within 60 to 90 days of the visa interview; however it is difficult to predict the amount of time it will take.  The timing will vary based on the individual circumstances of each case. 

 

Please be assured that we are aware of your concerns and will process the application to completion as quickly as possible in accordance with U.S. law.  We recognize that this process can be frustrating for applicants and regret any inconvenience.  Once the administrative processing is complete, we will contact you.

 

For additional information, please consult our website.

 

Sincerely,

Sounds like you are likely to be issued a visa but when is another matter. Impossible to say.

That i know.. Just wanted to know officially timing for holding passport, as per their last email told me that 60-90 day's process. Spouse after 90 day's they will respond to m Or not?

I am not sure this actually true but they were referring to MOST applications.

 

They will keep your passport until AP is finished or you ask for it back.
