Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[michigan 0]

So are these visa review meetings at the end of the month or the begining of the month! I am confused!

Ars bilkul sahi farmaya! Acha baat sunain! Aap nay DOS call kiya thaa? Kya bana?

Sohnnie you mean..,cases send back again to Dos after Adjudicated AR/AP cases if Approval or if they denied send back to NVC...,?..or before Adjudicated?

During the visa review meeting - cases placed on AR/AP are recommended.

if the case is clear no objections the embassy makes a recommendation.

if approval DOS, if denial NVC. all cases on AR/AP has to go to the DOS.

What happens once Embassy has decided to Recommend they send the case on AR/AP to

DOS for futher clearance. * providing its a recommendation for approval * where it gets futher

security checks. its a Cable that is sent - not the actual file, unless its a recommendation for denial.

once at DOS the case has to be cleared from all agencys. this is time consuming depending on several things name hits, type of security checks, how many etc..

once case is compleate the DOS sends a Cable response of information to the Embassy.

this could be case compleate for example. Then its up do the Embassy to decide what to do next.

they could order more security checks, depending on what the cable said. or they can issue the visa.

we have seen case compleate 2 times and still had more security checks orderd.

HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL!!!!

UPDATE:

these are the email responses i received from the embassy in the past couple of weeks. these are confusing answers to the questions i asked ragarding my husbands K3 visa(which he is on AR/AP at the moment) and CR1 case (which arrived at the embassy last month):

Dear Madam,

We have received your husband's immigration petition from NVC and we will send him the interview letter upon completion of his K3 case.

Thanks

IV Unit

Dear Madam,

Certainly he needs to appear for his IR1 interview but he will only be interviewed after we are done with the administrative process on his K3 case.

Thanks

IV Unit

Dear Madam,

We cannot predict the time duration and also as we will process his immigration case i.e. why he needs to appear for his immigration interview. No he doesn't have to wait for the security clearance on his immigration case but still the final decision is only upto the Consular Officer.

Thanks

IV Unit

is it just me or are their answers confusing? does anyone understand what they are saying in these emails??

also,my husband said that they took fingerprints of his index fingers only when he had his interview back in april. is that good or bad? i mean, don't they usually take prints of all fingers?

he also received some documents recently in the mail from the embassy. he did not send them anything but just wrote to them saying that all of his papers/info are already in islambad. should he fill out these documents?

thanks and good luck to everyone and their SO's!

Molly,

Okay here goes two index prints are good. If full set he would of had a name hit already.

They are saying that your in AP now and once it finishes on the k3 they will interview for the IR1. I personally think you can have them merge the files like Shonnie and then they will issue the IR1.

The CR1 or IR1 visa will cancel out the K3.

Good luck,

Mary
