Hi,

Is anyone waiting for their visa to be issued after the interview? 

Status shows refused which is the new 'administrative processing ' 

How long did you wait for your visa fo be issued or if you're still waiting?

Especially if you didn't receive a 221g but instead were told by the co that you are approved and given a document that states that. 

 

Thanks in advance for your comments

AP in Pakistan unfortunately can take months up to a couple years even if the IO approved on the spot and issued a paper saying so.

Hi, what is this based off of? Is there a way someone could anticipate how long the refused/ AP will take?

It's mostly because of background checks that are done after the interview. While this is completely normal for everyone the problem with Pakistan ( and some other countries) is that it's hard for the US to get all the information they need from the foreign government/ offices in a timely manner. The faster the foreign country delivers, the faster AP is done. Pakistan is not known to be fast and nobody can say how long it will take.

Has anyone who interviewed in November or December gotten their visa issued? .

Many K1 applicants have interviewed this past nov-dec and have received their visas. Can not speak for the other visa categories or myself.

 

Stuck in AP since 11/16/21.

Source?  I would find that surprising

The link here goes to similar timelines to my K1 timeline. Most of those accounts had interviews and issued visas from Nov - Dec.
