I was very early and got done really early so seriously i do not know.

Its very rare that females get AP - but there are cases that go into AP but usually its very short.

My interview was less then 5 minutes questions were

1) How do you know your Wife and how how did it all ended in marriage

2) How Long have u been married ? Are you Happy?

3) What does she do and where does she live in US.

4) Have you ever been to anyother country (for visit or residence)

5) Have you been to USA before


that is it - it toook less then 5 minutes - CO was really nice 40+ guy

Good Luck.

Waiting4approval, I have not heard anything yet. I was thinking to start our own list here to keep track of all Islamabad Embassy AP cases. I know there is one started by "divorced" which is very nice but we can use that as global and ours here as just for ISL. What do you guys think.



Good idea

WaitingforApproval -

Do u have children? If yes, then you have a good chance of getting a visa as i see u have been married for 4 years and you will be there for the interview - Hope your husbands name is not too comman 1 ????
Make sure your husband and your answers match as they might interview you both separetly - do not give them dates or definite answer if you are not sure about the question - just say you do not remember at the moment.

I believe u have a good chance of getting a visa without AP. Good Luck

I would suggest you be mentally ready for 6 months of AP - cauz its better be prepared for the worst cauz if it comes in early you would be happy - just a thought.

Hope ur AP ends really soon.

ALI -

under AP comes all the Misc stuff u can think of , but its not necessary that all implies to your case. Some of the things that are checked are as follows.

1) Field check Local - They verify information from Pakistani Authorities - that is included in the Background and Security Check

2) Check with Interpol - they check to see if you have declared the information about visits of 6 months or more to countries abroad - included in background and security check

3) Name check by FBI - Also known as National Name Check Program - this is where all the delay comes in if your name pops up with the database of around 15,000 known terroist - they then do manual check on you to make sure you are not the same person - included in the background and security check.


frustrating i know - Hope your AP ends soon.

from DOS Website

Administrative Processing Information


Some visa applications require further administrative processing, which takes additional time after the visa applicant’s interview by a Consular Officer. Applicants are advised of this requirement when they apply. Most administrative processing is resolved within 60 days of the visa interview. When administrative processing is required, the timing will vary based on individual circumstances of each case. Visa applicants are reminded to apply early for their visa, well in advance of the anticipated travel date.

Important Notice: Before making inquiries about status of administrative processing, applicants or their representatives will need to wait at least 90 days from the date of interview or submission of supplemental documents, whichever is later.


feisal - So basically 60 days is 45 working days smile.gif
FEISALMalePakistan2009-06-27 02:17:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsEveryone going through Administrative Processing in ISLAMABAD
L179 - That is the standard to use for the first 45 days if you need to contact DOS as i read this on a website, they have the right to refuse to give you information about ur case during that time, but usually they do not just say that its still in AP.

I have known cases where AP`s have lasted only a week or 10 days as well - so yes there is no standard smile.gif


FEISALMalePakistan2009-06-27 02:05:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsEveryone going through Administrative Processing in ISLAMABAD
WaitingforApproval - The AP wait time is a minimum of 45 working days and normally ends within 4 to 7 months.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresNOA2 within a Month of NOA1?
QUOTE (druvenile @ Feb 1 2009, 11:52 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello,

Here is my timeline thus far

I am a US Citizen.

12/28/2008 - USCIS received I-130 (Spouse)Package.
01/05/2009 - NOA1 received
01/31/2009 - Email alert from USCIS that my I-130 application is approved and the approval notice was mailed 1/30/2009

I should receive the NOA2 in mail during the first week February 2009.

How can I get my NOA2 within 1 month NOA1? I was expecting atleast 6 month wait for NOA2.

Has the process become faster? Do you know of anyone that has had a similar experience?

I don't know what to think since NOA2 notice was so unexpected.

I just talked with NVC on the phone. The lady operator said it's okay for the petitioner to pay. You can call NVC just to be sure it's okay for your case. But to be honest, I wonder why NVC would make it hard for people to pay them. biggrin.gif



Hi there,

Just want to plan out my finances - How much is the AOS and IV Bill fee?

I hear ya maplestar, I am getting jealous of these CSC approvals as well :)
I just want to put this whole process behind us and finally get rid of loads and loads of paperwork we are holding onto that may fall into the category of evidence. I swear in every drawer, closet, shelf, even under our beds there are banks statements, bills, letters, etc. I can't wait for the day to shred it all! :)))

Anyway, congratulations to all of you CSC folks who got approved!
