IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresadministrative process at islamabad embassy
asarene20 - I didn't see any details of your case, so maybe if you update your timeline it would kinda help.

From what I understand is due to the situation in Pakistan AP generally means they track out all the information on the beneficiary.
Such as the home address given is a valid address, bank account info - account really exists, work place, etc etc etc.
If you live in a distant remote area than islamabad it takes a bit longer to verify the information.
If closeby then its easier for the embassy representatives to track the info.
So depending on this situation thats what AP means and signifies.

Also do bea in mind these people work at their own pace.
one day work 3 days lunch break...haha

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAfter the interview, how long it takes to have visa in hand
Actually, i disagree...
its not the same day.
It does take a few days....maybe a week or so for females as well.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedurese-mailing DS-3032 sux!
It definately does take them a while to review emails. However it is much quicker than snail mail.

We sent in our request 2 or 3 times before we realized that.

NVC is not as impatient as us, checking their inbox throughout the day.

I am sure they have a system, and if you be a little patient (which is hard) it will pay off

Patience is virtue!

American domicile is really not something you can just go out and get...its soemthing that needs to be established throughout time.
Your best would be, since elections are not coming up any time soon, nor is tax season that your wife to back to the US, get a job and open a valid bank account. Through this time your AP would be over and she can prove that she is working there and has a bank account. otherwise maybe get a house/apartment and show your ties to the US

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan I apply for a F1 visa and a IR-1 Visa at the same time?
In the bigger picture, applying for both will definately delay both the visas due to the reason stated by mikey78. Secondly, because you are married to a US citizen, they automatically assume that you have the intent to stay, so most likely you will not qualify for the F1.
Your best best would be to go the CR1 route

it could be a false RFE or they want originals for marriage and birth certificate instead of certified copies. best of luck

Hi. I just sent the DS-230 packet to NVC this morning. As I read some information here in VJ and in NVC website, I came to realize that there is a slight difference between the mailing address mentioned in the cover sheet and the mailing address mentioned in NVC website & VJ Forum.

The barcoded cover sheet says:
Please attach this cover sheet to the front of
the documents for this case and mail to:

National Visa Center
Attn. CMR
32 Rochester Avenue
Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909

while the NVC website & VJ guide says:

National Visa Center
ATTN: CMR
31 Rochester Ave. Suite 100
Portsmouth, NH 03801-2914

By the way, I sent the mail to the address mentioned in the cover sheet. Do you have idea why there is a difference in the mailing address given?


send it to mention address which they give u the 1st one 2909
