Is this from case creation at USCIS or from being DQ'd by NVC?

 

We been DQ'd since end of July, waiting on interview from ISL.

Hi, anyone have success with moving on from AP status quickly? 
 

Our situation is this: K-1 visa went into AP after interview due to medical exam results delayed arrival to embassy. CEAC visa status still shows refused. They have all documents now and my fiancés passport still. Friends who have done the process suggest calling daily(not sure who to call just yet). Does anyone know if this works? Has anyone done something similar?
 

Anyone have success applying to expedite while in AP? Seems so silly to try for an expedite being so close to a visa, but from what I have seen in the forums it could take forever. We were just informed via visa cgi chat today not to inquire before 180 days have past. Seems so long, no passport for 180 days… 

 

Thanks

We will need to wait another 6 months at least.

Hello,

 

Anybody have an idea about current status on US Family based visa slots availability in Islamabad. My mother i-130 was approved back in 2019 with priority date is 30-MAY-2019. Since then the case is stuck at NVC, and NVC is keep telling us that they waiting for Islamabad to give them a slot of interview. 

 

Any idea, how long does it take for Parents to get interview slot for Immigration visa at Islamabad Center? 

 

Thanks
