there is a immigrant data sheet attached to the sealed packet . The Alien number is mentioned there on the top.

Also i have verified my old immigrant visa and its the same registration number what i have on my permanent resident card which is also called green card.

you guys are all wrong. I just talked to the lady at uscis she said its not on the I-130 approval letter. its on the letter of packet that we recieece with the visa. but its a seperate sheet with the a number on it. 

 

also if we dont find that then we can wait when she arrives and they will stamp it in her passport

Yes Usman Bro ! you will find that number on the Visa , if you look on top right of the Visa you will see DOS Number , which is your case number.

and if you look down to that case number you will find registration number , that is your Alien Registration Number.

You just need to add A0 in the start of your registration number.

for example A012345678.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Is this the dreaded ISL AP?

L37 no need to worry about ! just wait for a month or two and you will get the Visa !

they are doing this to almost every one . As we had the same situation as well as few more members here . No colored Slip nothing !

Consular Congratulated and told us that you will get your passport within 7 to 10 days .

We just got our passport today exactly after 2 months.

So no need to worry about just relax and enjoy !

Most of the time people get their Visa within a month.

So just pray thats all !

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionReschedule interview or not !

Well in my case it was from the date from issuance of Visa. Because what if you submitted medical and you get into Administrative processing for 6 months .

Then what will be the case ? then how will you count your 6 months. ? So its been always after the date of issuance of Visa not from the Date of Medical.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionUs Embassy Islamabad Consular approved Visa

i think you are right MERC

Yes bro because i had to contact my friend to get the status of my wife AP status, as at the time of her interview Consular told her that you are approved and you will receive the visa within 7 to 10 days . And when i didn't heard anything from embassy i contacted senator and through senator they told me that my wife's case is in AP.

So i was like what the heck !!!!

Then i called my friend to check with his friend what does that mean and even when i contacted DOS they said we don't have any information that your case is in AP.

So then my friend contacted his friend who is FSO (Foreign Service Officer) at UAE Embassy , and told him about my case, he said not to worry about.

Once they have approved and they didn't provided you any AP Form you are good its just some Embassy Level Processing, so no need to worry about that.

which contains Visa processing , getting A Num from USCIS and Printing DOS forms which they have to put into that sealed envelope and etc.

(REMEMBER NO CHECKS)

He also told that Islamabad embassy have burden of work due to closure of Lahore embassy . So they are taking care all of those cases as well as

current cases from all categories.

So he said just hold on and wait for few more days no need to worry about ...

 

Then i was like Thank God ! : )

Finally after few days we got the news .. Visa Issued.

 

So just hold on Brother !

Inshallah you will get the good news soon.

Administrative Process (AP) is not just printing of visa and documents as many are issued the same day visa.  It's a lot more than that.  Its more like a detailed background check and in depth review of facts along with interview answers to determine if the case is genuine.  It's different for each person / situation.  That's why it takes some people more just a few weeks while other in some cases are on AP for two years.



The detailed one is from DOS amd the one I told you is for embassy level.

I have confirmed this through one of my friend's friend. As he is FSO and works in UAE embassy.
