NEED HELP PLEASE GUYS HELP ME OUT WHAT SHOULD I DO WHERE SHOULD I CONTACT I ALREADY EMAILED THE SENATORS OF MY STATE NO ONE IS HELPING WILL TEH CONGRESSMAN B ANY HELP?

There is nothin' we culd do .. but advice you to wait=( and wait and wait.. i m goin' through the same phase

may God assist us all ~Ameen

How can anyone help you when you havent filled out you timeline We dont know where you are in the process , what kind of visa you reapplied for? Have you gotten NOA2 for spouse visa? Nobody can give u any true advice unless we know where you are in the process. Forget about the K-1 visa (fiance) that is not an option anymore. The embassy probably realized you got married and thats why they didnt contact him, because a spouse cant enter the US on a fiance visa (Its the law). Your timeline starts from when you refiled for the spouse visa.

My fiancee's interview was on September 29th and she didn't get her passport until October 14th. Of course you can take out 3 days for Eid. You'll get it soon...no worries.

Hello Mrs. Saiff.

Try calling the embassy in ISL and ask them how his passport could be returned. If they can't help on the phone, it may be worth just going to the embassy. I think there is about 1 hour or 45 minutes sloted for applicants to ask question at the embassy. U.S citizens can go to the embassy for inquries as well, more time is available for them. Check out state department's website and ISL embassy page to get the timing.

Hope this helps!

I know its very difficult to get an operator at the embassy but they do have operators. When my wife was waiting for her visa in August, I spoke to them several times. Its frustrating but you have to keep trying. I don't remember their phone hours but try in the last half hour. It would be middle of the night here but thats the only time you can talk to an operator.

Why don't you have your spouse try from Pak at the same time? Hopefully one of you would get through. I would suggest that you shouldn't ask them about your new application that you just submitted but fiind out what is happenning with your spouse's passport they have been holding.

If you dont care about your old application, just say that he needs to go out of the country and needs his passport, they should just return it without the visa.

I know its expensive but it may be worth talking to a lawyer, considering you have been waiting for 3 years. Do you know if he is on A/P? When did A/P start?

Hope this helps!
