I don't get this... if someone had a previous AOS interview and went through the same security check, would he/she still be subject to the security check AGAIN? One of the immigration officers told us no and he knows we are in Islamabad.

YES you can have security checks while in the USA - when waiting for AOS.

ISL embassy would not really know. they are not the ones makeing the decision for AOS.

actually it depends on how long ago the security check was done. Yes. it shows up in the system that the security clearance was done BUT every security check has a certain validity date.

a friend of mine from Pakistan, he was put in security check at the NVC level and they wanted him finger printed, which took 3 months. So when the case arrived in Pakistan, he was cleared and no AR/AP for him!

I have been talking to people in DOS and I made a list of the VISA SPECIALIST. a couple of days ago, I talked to one specilist who was a witch and very rude and even hung up on me. She sounded like if she was African American, I am not sure though... Well here is a little guide to who is nice and who isnt at the Visa hotline.

NICE: Jackie, jennifer, Rochelle, barbara

JERKS: Lauren or Warren rose

MORONS ( they dont know what they are talking about): Sue, TJ

how was that racist? I am pakistani, I have a Pakistani accent! I am not stereo typing but you can tell by someone's accent if they belong to an African American accent. What is so racist about that?

Or is it, you have to make a deal out of everything?

ok people since its end of the month! So apparently the embassy will be having a visa review meeting. I guess probably on Tue-Wed ( or even Thu as Mon was a holiday).

So how do these meetings work? Anyone have any idea? Do they decide on the same day if visa will be issued or not? when is a good time to call DOS to see if any updates?

It's not racist.

Awesome, the immigration officer told us he wouldn't need to be put on AP/AR, but we aren't sure. He had his finger prints done about 10 times before he left since he was granted temporary stay. They took his fingerprints EVERY month until the day he left since he was granted temporary stay. Also, he's had full fingerprints done in late 2004.

Dear Shonjaved, I don't think that is a racist comment at all. Most of the time when you speak on the phone with someone, you can very well say if the other person is African American or Chinese American or Indian American or Philipino American or Arab American or any other for that matter simply by their accent and pitch of voice and this is only a descriptive comment , not a racist one. Please don't mind. When I speak, people think I am middle eastern and they ask me if I am and I never find this racist.

I think there is no point here to fight. No body talking here about racism at all here. We all here first Muslim then ‘black white or brown’ so take deep breathe and please remove all racism thoughts from top of your head.

Racist comment! LOL!!!

Why is it that those who are quick to yell "racist" always turn out to be the most rabid fanatics?

Muliti-culturalists and racists are both fanatics alike. Pathetic.
