Is there no possible way to get out of AP faster?

No. It cannot be expedited or waived.   Extended AP/background checks is quite routine for Pakistani applicants.

Should not be a problem. They are talking about karachi and karachi is having people gathering almost every week now. Hopefully we will hear something soon espcially for the people who had DQ early march.

F visas: 2095

J visas: 2748

M visas: 26

the message has update in US embassy Islamabad website..

seems like they have resumed visa services for spouse and children of US citizens

 

Visa Services:

The United States Embassy in Islamabad and the Consulate General in Karachi have resumed processing a limited number of student and academic exchange visitor visas but remain unable to provide routine nonimmigrant visa services at this time.  The United States Embassy in Islamabad has resumed processing a limited number of immigrant visas primarily for spouses and children of U.S. citizens.  We look forward to resuming routine visa services as soon as possible but are unable to provide a specific date.  Please click here for more information about visa services at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad and the Consulate General in Karachi.

 

did anyone of you all got a interview notice  with being in AP or canceled before??
