Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[ali1978 0]

As I saw in ALI1978's case that they took a week to issue the Visa once his wife AP was cleared.

AP is Security/Background check

Thanks for the info! Seems like once security clearance is done, things should moved pretty fast. Hopefully we will all see some results really soon!

Yes they do and if they have all your paperwork you just get the call from the courrier that please pick your packet up from our office. In my case it took a week becasue they didnt have original of I-134 and my wife went to embassy and submitted it. If they would have that already it could have been only 2-3 days.

Thanks! But I have seen is some instances that the embassy request another clearance. When does that happen? OR why does that happen. I hope that it doesnt happen for me :S

My wife had the interview on Tuesday, I called DOS today and the lady told that all the processing at Washington is done, and I should be hearing from Embasssy sooon. Alhamdulillah. Is this all that needs to be done here, or is there any thing else what is done here.

Thanks all for your help

DOS is in Washington, can you call them to find the status of your AP case? what is their telephone no?

I am far away from this AP thing yet but might need it one day.

I guess we will both need to worry about it if our wives get put on AP/AR.

Desparado, The embassy can request another clearance. No one knows why or when they decide to rerun the checks but in a few cases some of the checks are expired before all are completed and they must be redone and all cleared before they can issue the visa. Try not to worry about something like this now.

Inshallah, her visa will be returned in a few days since her processing of prints in Washington is complete and hopefully all checks have cleared that were ordered at the embassy level. Keep us posted and hope to have updated visa in hand soon.

Hey everyone,

My husbands IR-1 interview is coming up soon (july 25,2007)... and I AM SCARED.. I just realized something... I was reading some of the old posts and now im VERY CONFUSED..

In the I-130... we wrote or NIKAH date as the Marriage date... which was Nov. 19,2003.. My "Shadi" "ruksati" was on october 12,2004.. WILL THIS BE A PROBLEM??? or am i jus panicking for no reason.. according to Islam NIKAH=marriage but desi culture dosnt consider u married unless you have the whole ruksati thing... will this be a problem at the interiew???

ANY THOUGHTS......??????????

Thanks in advance!!!
