Approved K1 Visa (merged topics)

Unfortunately, AP is open-ended. It could be days, weeks, months, or even years in rare cares. There is no way to expedite it either.

 

Extended AP due to security checks and police checks (the USG does not trust Pakistan's PCCs) with Pakistan are common. This is typically on the magnitude of several months.

Same thing happened to my case, had an interview in January CO said 2-3 weeks to get your visa and my case is still in AP for 7 months now. AP for male from Pakistan is taking a long time. Hope yours take less time.

refusal under 221g means that AP will take time now. K1 visa for male for Pakistan does take a long time. Duration of AP under 221g may vary from weeks to even a year.

Hi guys,

    So, as you guys know that my interview was on 9th july. I was approved but then I was put on AP on july 12th. After that, no update on CEAC since then. What does it mean? Why are they not updating my case at all?

I do not see a timeline for you. Perhaps, if you were to update yours, others could help you better with your question.

AP is a black hole, especially for Pakistan.  Could be days/months/years.  If they require more information from you they will notify you.  Otherwise, it is just a matter of waiting.

Does it says Immigrant visa application or nonimmigrant visa application when you check the status on CEAC website?

People in this forum say that it doesn't takes long once it changes to non-immigrant category. That is a good news at least.

Hey don’t worry AP generally takes two months in many cases. May you will get it soon.

I hope so too, but what I am concern about is that they haven't updated the case even once afted putting it into AP. It will be a month tomorrow since they updated the case.

What questions does they asked to you in the interview? Does they saw your engagement pictures?

They asked about 15 questions related to me and my fiance. Yes, CO did see our engagement pictures.

I think the average time to receive back the passport in Pakistan in 6 weeks.

If everything goes well, you'll get the good news in next 2 or 3 weeks.
