Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	New Islamabad AP Tracker	Hi everyone, My husband's visa was denied and our case was sent back to USCIS. We appealed and won so our case was sent back to the embassy. Sense then we have been in AP for 8 months. A few days ago the embassy sent my husband an email requesting a new medical, DS230, police certificate, affidavit of support and his passport. Yesterday I got an email from my lawyer saying the embassy had contacted her. They want to do a telephone interview with me and couldn't reach me. So she sent them my phone number and I guess I need to stay home for the next few days. I am hopeful that we will get the visa soon because they asked for his passport. I am praying for all of us to get our visa's soon. Thats some really good news! I hope you get a call very soon and maybe you should consider setting up call forwarding to your mobile if you dont pickup at home	sn530	Male	Pakistan	2013-03-05 11:07:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	New Islamabad AP Tracker	I didnt even think of a cover letter I'll have to ask my husband if he did that. We did send it through american express in Islamabad. it makes sense to send a cover letter but I wish they had notified us in detail about sending a cover letter as it seems crucial. I'm just afraid we'll have to get another police report and medical exam as he sent the original already You said your relative use to work for the embassy, in your or your relatives experience, when they ask to resubmit the expired documents does that mean a visa will be issued soon? The relatives I have did not work for USA embassy they worked for Australian embassy. When additional documents are required is because of an internal performance requirement. Remember the Medical Exam is only good for a year, So if the medical exam is expired then a visa can not be issued. So as a normal procedure they will request for a updated medical exam and police report to keep the records up to date and in compliance IF a visa is ever issued. However when someone does submit documentation Properly it is routed to the individual who is holding the files and they may work on it while they have the file out. If you want some help with a Cover letter send me a PM I can help you put it together. So in short Cover Letter does help it is not a requirement and when the embassy asks for records it does not Always mean that a visa will be issued soon, it is simply just to update the records and keep them in compliance to internal policies.	sn530	Male	Pakistan	2013-03-04 14:32:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)	New Islamabad AP Tracker	So My husband has been in AP since July 12, 2011. We had never heard from the embassy until this year when in January sent a letter and asked for new Medical and then week later asked for new police clearance certificate, DS 230, new passport size photos and affidavit of support. We became hopeful that we maybe getting closer. We sent everything by their courier listed on their website about a month ago and when we didnt hear anything I emailed them and they stated they have not received any documents. I'm soooo frustrated. Here is message I received today: Our record indicates that we did receive the documents. However, case is still pending under administrative process and we will contact the applicant(s) upon completion of this process. Also, time duration for the process is always approximated therefore maximum cannot be predicted. From this, I'm getting the feeling that we are still in AP and resubmitting those documents does not make much of a difference. I emailed them back and asked what we should do since they didnt receive anything. I'm afraid my husband will have to get a new medical and police clearance. This process is soooooo brutal. It would be better if they put us in a concentration camp, at least we will be together then as opposed in AP abyss. I was hopeful that maybe my husband will be here soon for the delivery of our twins but now I have lost that hope. He probably will get his visa when our girls are getting ready to get married. I give up!!! When you submitted the additional documentation did you attach a cover letter? The cover letter should have been in format of a business letter, with the following key items. Name of Beneficiary (sending items to Embassy) Address Phone Embassy Address Case Number, (ISBXXXXXXX) something like that Write 2 or 3 sentences explaining the reason of submission, Include an index of items that you are attaching and reference them. 1. Letter from Embassy requesting information (write 1 on bottom right side this is reference) 2. Police report 3. Medical Examination 4. Pictures 5. Etc. Sign and date I hope this helps someone who is not aware of this, Reason I am emphasising this is because a lot of people stick things in a letter addressed to the embassy and mail it off expecting the embassy to figure out what it is. (also make sure to submitt it from the proper channel like american express courior for the embassy) One of my relatives use to work for the embassy and this is what would happen most often, with no case referance or a referance of the letter they have no idea what is being submitted, even if the envelope says the case number. it should be attached with a cover letter so it is not lost. If you have not done it already resend the information as such.	sn530	Male	Pakistan	2013-03-04 12:50:00
