Hello all

I was having interview on March 4 and case went to AP on same day and asked for a document. On 25 March case changed from Refused to Issued. Yeah surprisingly it took only 20 days to change status.

 

Till now no email no call received upon mailing embassy they mentioned all courier and pickup points are closed.

 

Yesterday on TV i saw that all embassy officials left for US. So we are expecting a huge delay in AP cases and Issued cases as well. But at least there is Pakistani crew i hope they manage some part and give us our passports at least.

 

Lets see.

Any update ?

What documents were missing? And after sending them the documents did you get a email saying they received the documents? .. or did you call the embassy in Islamabad. 

 

My fiance had her interview on March 3rd and she was missing the medical report.. she mailed them the medical report on March 5th but nothing changed till today it still shows refused.

Refused doesn’t mean it’s refused, it’s just in AP. I think around Mar 11, they closed embassy. They probably give your report & just waiting to reopen

I know someone who has been on AP since February 2018 and contacting congressman and senator has not helped.  AP duration varies from person to person.

My wife had a interview on feb 2018, they needed document under 221(g), and they received it on April 2018, i emailed them to conform that they received it and they did. Now AP changed from refusal to Expired.

Her passport is with them and they never contacted me. They last updated the AP on May 11,2020.

Does anyone know or had this experience? i don't know what should i do?

I doubt hiring a lawyer will help. Perhaps involve congressman

Does anyone know or had this experience? i don't know what should i do?

What document they asked under 221(g)? was it I-864? was it updated with new income and new data (year)? This is making me super sad. Are you with your wife atm? This long distance surely sucks. 😕 My friend is in AP tooo... :(
