Congratulations!!! No you don't have to inquire. AP is what they call the time between interview and issuance of visa. You will receive your visa very soon so celebrate and wait just a little bit 😁

 

How was the interview? What did you take for proof of marriage? What did you take your documents in? How long was the interview? Any tips or advice?

Thanks for the positive vibes ! 
 

interview went really well, i took every single document to proof of whatsapp chats and wedding album. 
 

my interview lasted for hardly 5 mins. Was only asked abt the marriage date, photo album, birth and marriage certificate and two photographs of me !  I wont lie i was nervous but i would share a tip to hear the question first carefully and if you feel like you didn’t understand it dont be afraid to ask again. Its better to ask again then to answer abt something else. Dont be in a rush as they are not. Be as relax as possible.

That's really great information thank you so much. What did you carry your documents in? And How big was your wedding album? I know they are strict with that you can take there.

Extended AP is common for Pakistani cases.  Unfortunately, it can last for many months.  No one should make any travel plans, etc. until the visa has been received and checked for errors.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
