Hi VJ'ers,

 

Hope you all are staying safe. Here's a background of our story.  Please keep in mind we sent an inquiry every 60 days and got the same AP response from the embassy.

 

10/17- Applied for father's ir5

2/18- Interview at Islamabad Embassy in Pakistan, result AP followed by DS-5535 which was filled and sent back the following day

4/19- second interview at ISL Embassy with updated medical- updates on ceac made but no visa issuance, still AP

1/21- we requested for his passport back since he was needing it to travel and attend to business, passport received, case still in AP

3/21- Latest CEAC update on case (under AP still)

4/1/21- Today, the case on CEAC updates to EXPIRING SOON

 

We emailed the embassy today that we are awaiting for the AP to end and for the visa approval, not sure why its "expiring" due to their own delays. 

I know factors like the pandemic and changes in the US Administration are factors which can add to the delay, and Islamabad is notorious for long dreadful APs. Do you guys think its time we do a mandamus?
