Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[MaryandMian 1]

You will not be able to find out much information while it is in Administrative Processing. But I did call weekly to DOS and ask them for an update or any movement on our case. It never changed from Dec 13th until earlier this month. I also suggest to call on Wednesdays or Thursdays of each week since they seem to update on these days.

Call DOS at 1-202-663-1225

Enter 1

Enter 0

You will get a live operator. They will ask for full name, date of birth, and visa applicant number. They will put you on hold and then come back and tell you any information.

I will say to be patient and it is taking some time. Omid is in AP as well and is still in the dark on her case since January.

yes you are right shonjaved...well i proved it and the good thing was Consular never question me about this..,he wasnt intresting in looking at proves i show pictures he say no its ok i belive you boths met...,but the what is still confusing me is when i asked him how long this admin review take? he said this is admin processing not a review...,but still i got no clear answer what is this some say AP is same as AR some say its different what is ur ideas about this?

thank you very much

AR

adding to what mary sayes. alot of times the terms AP/ AR is confusing.

this whole horrible security check process can last 19-2years..

take it one month at a time.

I want to let you know that the Embassy has its Visa Review meeting. The visa review meeting is for all

AR/AP cases to have a recommendation. this meeting happensaround the ENDing or beginning of the month. this is the time to start getting happy. this is the time when your case get to be ADJUDICATED. if it dont happen then.. wait for the next meeting.

Last month I think the meeting was held around April 6th. I dont know about this month

prouble around the same time. June perhaps around the same time..

8 months and 23 days - in AP

Shonnie it was the first week of May. I am looking at my files. I called DOS on May 3rd and that was the date I was told Mian had a letter sent to him to appear in person again at at the embassy. So the review meeting was the week before at DOS.

221g is a TEMP denial. because, they cant issue a visa if they have not done the security checks.

COs have to give you someting when you walk out the embassy either the visa or an excuse.

in this case you left your passport got a token < this is a good thing >.

you were given 221g letter the good news when your case is done

they will just send the passport with visa stamp to Amex Courior- thats why you have the brown token..

understand now?

AR- I supposed you could DEMAND them give you

your passport back . I dont think you want to - right?

The Consular officer has reviewed your immigrant visa application and determined that additional administrative processing required before we can complete your case.(stuff like this)

and the wiered thing is it was purple token not brown hahah

some say its brown some say its red. yours is purple. you have 221g what you think admin processing is?

Actually some people on the "blue" sheet get the 221(g) and some people get the "other" option checked.

Just like ARS they didnt check the 221G option but checked the OTHER option!

Ishteaq got this form as well as a 221g form. And it looked identical but Administrative Processing can take longer so mentally prepare for a longer wait. If you do not have to endure it then you will be blessed. And your minimum days are to be only the days the embassy is open. You cannot count the weekends or holidays they must be skipped. If you contact them early they will say the dates are for business days and your case is still pending.

so what if you cant have a baby? does that mean your husband has to leave you??????????????

not every woman can have a baby. just like not every man can create one!

I thought marriage was for companionship. thats why god took adams rib and createded a wife
