i hope only a year ...well thank you so much for answers and guide 

Remember that is at the soonest. It could be way longer depending on many factors. Pakistani applicants are heavily scrutinized so be prepared. Just have patience

insane ...!! in 2017 you applied for the husband and still waiting its really frustration i hope you will get the response soon 

Yes Priority date is February 21st 2017.  Pakistan Consulate is extremely tough on relationships with red flags.   

 

Why did you not marry in Pakistan?  Is your wife Desi?  Has she met your family?

 

In our case we married on the first visit and are both divorced.   I was not muslim when we met in 2016 but had been studying the Quran since 2014 (I was taking Theology classes and sparked interest in other faiths) and converted in 2018.  The question of my faith was not an issue at either interview (wasn't even asked at 2nd) but some are scrutinized for having different faiths.  The divorces and meeting on online were both issues they had that we had to address.

 

We do not have a large age gap and have visited  6 times so far (planning our 7th).  

 

Every case is different and you could be lucky but be prepared for the worst.  I wish I did....I was totally unprepared for this process to take this long.  It's agonizing...and I wouldn't wish on anyone.
