if you follow further process without wasting a single day even then you have to wait at least 20 to 24 months for your interview letter from Islamabad
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
really? have you gone through this process with the texas service center??
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
now it's not about service center !! I'm DQ since 7th June 2022 and still waiting for letter from Islamabad
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
as of now your petition is approved only way more to go now ..... I can give you roughly timeline of your further process
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
that is insane! after DQ they’re making you wait this long??? i thought after DQ process was smooth after that. that is very scary
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
still no idea when I will get my interview from Islamabad actually Islamabad is also working like Kabul that's why backlog is increasing day by day
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
Can you expediate? have you looked into that?
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
embassy/consulate only expedite life or death matters (petitioner or applicant) with the proper documentation from Dr and they also cross verify it with the Dr after that they accept expedite otherwise decline
Yen LSep 22, 2022
sorry random person and question here…..what was your rfe if you dont mind me asking 🥲 i just got one from texas service and what they are asking kinda makes me wonder if they arent paying attention to the documents uploded at the time of filing. thank you 🥲
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
i am a Dr myself lol and I have co workers who are also doctors is there any way to loop your way around it?
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
they asked me for like a marriage certificate again when I had already sent mine
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
i have many Dr's friends too but don't tried that because if they doubt they can go through that process with there own Dr and if it's prove you try to do fake expedite then you can understand very well what can happen 😝
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
you have to submit 3 types of marriage certificate maybe you missed one of them that's why they asked for it again
Yen LSep 22, 2022
i need to talk to you! you are the answer to my 24 hour agony 😭 did you just send it again or requested a certified copy from the county clerk? idk why they would ask for it again
Yen LSep 22, 2022
oh really? what are the 3 types??? i did not know this
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
@yen L I'm telling her about Pakistan don't know about other countries
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
got it well thank you so much for your help. literally going to be upset all day today about this now, thought it was just a 3 month wait with islamabad embassy
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
it was less then 3 months after DQ before COVID but now no one can predict even approx time you can't do anything except waiting
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
i can talk to you! i can give you my number honestly I’m not too familiar with this app
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
week before I also download this app randomly. One more thing don't type your number over here otherwise you will get like 1000's of msgs 🤣
Yen LSep 22, 2022
oh no dont do that! i meant as in talk through the comments! 😂 and sorry i thought you had married in the US
Altemush BhattiSep 22, 2022
Hey Fusion Gold and Farwah, I'm in the same process except still waiting for i130 approval, but we can connect for any questions if you guys want! Been waiting since ce February 4 2022 but nothing yet
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
dude !! you are way behind from us 🤦🏻♂️ your I-130 still pending
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
lol good luck waiting it’s a process
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
what service center r u at altemush?
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
he have to wait at least 3 more years
Altemush BhattiSep 22, 2022
Texas service center,
ya I know it's a long waiting game 😅
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
if you want number tell me I will send you mine
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
@altemush inshallah I wish you the best, def reach out if u need any help. it’s frustrating!
farwah aliSep 22, 2022
@fushion how will you send it? i thought u said not to put the number on here
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
that's for you because I think you can't handle 1000's of messages after sending your number in comment box but I can send you mine in comment box
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
@altemush ask your spouse to file I-129F
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
when you save my number in contacts you can see me on WhatsApp too !!
Altemush BhattiSep 22, 2022
@Farwah yes in sha Allah, thank you! Just gotta stay strong!
Altemush BhattiSep 22, 2022
@Fusion would I-129F speed up the process?
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
no ..... I-129F is something different it's non immigration visa she will file I-129F under K-3 catagory
Fusion GoldSep 22, 2022
ask her to contact immigration lawyer for I-129F and you can also search about I-129F
AR PSep 22, 2022
I'm from Pakistan too but I'm still at the USCIS stage. at Potomac center and hearing about the interview wait times is just stressing me out even more 😭
Altemush BhattiSep 22, 2022
@AR same happened with me 😥 when is your priority date?
AR PSep 22, 2022
my PD is January 31st, 2022. it hasn't been a year yet and it's already depressing waiting here for so long
Altemush BhattiSep 22, 2022
@AR my PD is February 4th, 2022, so I'm close to you. Yeah it is😥 just gotta stay strong and have faith
AR PSep 22, 2022
I've seen people from October 2021 getting approved recently so I'm hoping we'll be approved soon too in a couple of months Insha Allah and then it's just the interview that we need to be stressed out about
Altemush BhattiSep 22, 2022
oh that's good to hear, maybe our turn is soon in sha Allah! yes then it's the interview and in sha Allah we'll get to that soon as well!
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
@immi that would be much help just talking to someone in the same boat
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
makes me feel a little better
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
I’m from Mississippi
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
i was born and raised in New Jersey!
Fusion GoldSep 23, 2022
what's your catagory? Cr1-/IR-1 or F2A ?
Fusion GoldSep 23, 2022
maybe you will have 1 or 2 more babies till your visa interview because it's a long wait
Fusion GoldSep 23, 2022
from websites of US and different pages etc etc
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
I’m so sorry Rida! it is hard when did you get your DQ?
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
@immi what do I do after my case was sent to department of state? that just happened today
Fusion GoldSep 23, 2022
your asking about DQ her I-130 haven't approved yet !!
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
oh no! i applied in March 2021 and just now got approved
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
maybe inshallah soon!
Fusion GoldSep 23, 2022
your petition is IR-1/CR-1 and her is F2A she needs at least 12 to 15 months more to get approved from USCIS
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
@immi in the email is there all the instructions?
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
is islamabad even having any spouse interviews at all??
farwah aliSep 23, 2022
@immi if islamabad is operating as normal why are so many people having a problem
Fusion GoldSep 23, 2022
from last 2 years Islamabad not conducting F2A interviews so she have to wait at least 24 to 30 months after I-130 approvel for her interview
Fusion GoldSep 23, 2022
maybe they are CR-1 but it's not F2A/F21 because I check from official website of Islamabad visa issuing
rida chSep 23, 2022
r u sure ??
Fusion GoldSep 23, 2022
100%
Fusion GoldSep 23, 2022
@immi you are visiting and sharing link of related websites but I am check and telling from official websites
reehan aliSep 23, 2022

Wahaj KhanOct 29, 2023
@farwah thanks for posting, I am pretty much in the same boat. I am sitting DQ since July 2022 and my spouse has not still gotten the interview letter. Hopefully inshAllah next year it happens.
