Hello, please can someone tell me what i can do, we are on an F4 family immigration visa, i was placed under AP and handed ds-5535.

90 days have passed now, and i have received 6 updated but still AP. MY MOTHER, FATHER AND SISTER received their visa and will be travelling before the expiry.

which means i will be left behind, is this normal or you think they will issue me a visa?

i am only 19 years and i was asked to submit travel history for the past 15 years.

Hey any updates on your case now?

I want to know this too

Does anyone know if it’s true they stopped issuing visas because of the coronavirus?

Quick glance at US Embassy Afghanistan website reveals the answer:  All routine consular services, including visas and American Citizens Services (ACS) such as passport renewals and notaries, are suspended at Embassy Kabul as of March 15.  This suspension of routine services will continue until further notice.

I hope this pandemic ends. Stay safe everyone 🤲🏻

Hi everyone, I hope you are well. I have been following this thread since September 2018 and thought it is time for me to post here and give you some positive news. 

 

I am Not from a banned country, and been living in the UK since the age of 17. 

 

We have involved our senator and attempted to contact various organisations with no hope. Throughout the AP process there wasn't a single update unless we or the senator inquired. It was only updated twice, once 4 days after my fiancé sent and inquiry (which we didn't know if it was related as it was updated the day he inquired and then 4 days later) and then on February 4th 2020. 

 

Total waiting time: 1 year 5 months

 

Here is our timeline: 

Timeline:

November-23-2017: Application submitted

May-13-2018: Petition approval

June-6-2019: NVC notice

September-13-2018: Interview at the embassy, been given the DS-5535 

September-15-2018: Sent the completed DS-5535 via email

January-16-2020: request of passport

February-4-2020: Email requesting new documents after not a single update throughout the AP

We hope you find this helpful. Stay strong and positive.
