Can I still get my visa?

[Sal11 5]

Hey, I’m from Pakistan. And I just heard that Pakistan has been added to USA blacklist for religious freedom violations. It’s been more than year and I’m waiting for my visa which has applied under f2A by my husband who’s LPR. There’s going to be any issue in getting visa from Pakistan? So worried ! Please help. And other issue is that my husband’s green card has been expired month ago. Can he come to visit me? While applying for citizenship. What’s the process? 

TYI.

If your husband green card expired then he cannot sponsor you? He needs to renew it, you know?

 

Also F2A takes about 2 years.

Hey I didn’t know about this!! Omg, what should he do Rn? Apply for citizenship or renew his green card? My case is already halfway through the process. ☹️ it’s been more than one year and his green card wasn’t expired then .

If he qualifies for citizenship he should probably file and then upgrade your petition to CR1 visa.

What is the " USA blacklist"?

 

EDIT:  I found some info, but I don't think it will affect immigrant visas.

My PD is 30th June 2017. Is it safe to apply for citizenship at this point? Cuz if he won’t get citizenship by the time I need sponsorship, what are we supposed to do? We are blank Rn ☹️ thanks for helping me out!

I could be wrong but I don't believe the blacklist affects USA visas at all as China and some other countries are also on this list.  It differs from the banned countries list.   Pakistan is on the list because of the recent events concerning the christian woman and has to do with human rights.

I don't think so Pakistan has been in blacklist under Trump Administration , If your husband has been PR from past 5 years he can apply for citizenship , I think your case has been under administrative process  which is can take a week to a month or a year depend on case level in embassy  I have been Admististrative process from 2008 to 2014 , 6 years been waiting for visa after that they issued my visa course every case is different so be patient and wait for embassy response u can send en inquire about your case to embassy once a while   only thing u can received email from embassy , I hope this information can help you tho whole process there is nobody cant tell you when your visa will be issued only embassy .

Ap is what you get after interview right? My interview is going to be happen next year. (According to sources) and he’s LPR since more than 10 years, and at this point where my interview is pending would this be okay to have a spouse with expired green card and citizenship in pending? Or should we go for a green card renewal. I’m praying they won’t put me through AP!
