Calling Islamabad Embassy v 3

[transformer 0]

Yes, i don't think this is true transformer, My whole family has been coming through JFK forever, and doesn't matter which airport you come through you will interrogation. And also my husband doesn't have a beard, and is only 21 years of age, so i don't think he will have many problems. But it is all in ALLAH hands, but i thank you for trying to help. Thanks, also if anyone knows, from which airline should he come through? From karachi or Kandahar?? Which airline will give him the least problems???? PLEASE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP>>>>>

well i shared my family's experience.it depend on the circumstances and on the appearance.my aunt hates my uncle having beard because they go thourgh strict security checks and always gets delays and interrogations at airpots.but best of luck to you

my husband has a beard he is in his 20s ... he didn't have any problem @ JFK ... in fact he said the immi officers were v friendly.

Now my bro-in law almost always get stuck even though he has been a USC since 4ever... cuz he has a common name he has traveled through all the airlines and to many islands and countries he almost always get stuck in security check at every airport.

if u have a common terrorist name you will b stuck at any airport. the system red flags you and u must go through the checks, having a beard or airline doesn't have much impact on security checks.

Qatar airways is a pleasant ride.

your others r clean even if interrogated they will be let go, there is nothing to hide.

good lucks,

you are right some people get more security checks than others for a lot of reasons.

trust me having beard a huge problem.the way people look at you and you are always in their eyes.a man with beard is always taken as or suspected as a terrorist.

having a beard is a problem.

thats pr

I am going to stop w/this back n forth dicussion.

I would rather have my significant other b interrograted and then proven innocent than blame the sunnah (Beard) for it. if not beard, then your name, if not your name then your orgins... America has taught me to be what I am and freely practice what i want...

Again, if you have a common terrorist name, you will b stopped at any airport bearded or not!

I am done w/ISL n @ AOS i m sure others will serve here.

Good lucks 2 every1.

Farah, they dont reply to your emails because they can only reply back to the applicant who is your husband.

They do reply to petitioners! they replied to mine when were in AP only if your case is done. They r not obligated to respond to AP inquires. it use to be that one must wait 10mons .. i dunno whats the deal now!

Pregnancy or any other reason will not excuse an applicant from security clearance. 4 mons is nothing try waiting for 16/17 mons w/out a clue =) but u know there will b day when ISL will call for visa. Fortunately ISL has been processing AP at a much faster speed now days.

I traveled via etihaad it was cheap but such an uncomfortable ride.. plus i lost my luggage too.. my fiance said Qatar was pleasant. PIA is not bad!

Well, they said we are in Final Review. What does this mean?

[waiting4approval 2]

good that at least they said so.. everytime I call DOS asking for status, all they say is PENDING.. I have tried asking if it was in the beginning or final review and I was told we don't give out this information- apparently they do!

good luck, your wait is almost over :-)

Oh I got this email from the embassy too:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please wait and applicant will receive passport(s)/visa packet(s) soon

via courier.

OMG! Is this good news or what? How long does FR take? I guess it depends who you talk to on DOS. I had a really sweet lady. She put me on hold 10 minutes so I knew it was good news. Wow am I elated!

[waiting4myheart 2]

OMG congrats sweethearts!!!! That is more than good news!!!! I told you guys they are going to issue visas to people who have been in AP for at least 3 months. I am sooo happy for you!! Doesnt it feel great!!! Good Luck.......and be happy.....

Many many congrats sweethearts

Yup,it seems like ISL is clearing April interviews these days as most of the cases which got out of AP past week were April interviews.So if they go down the line, I m hoping to get my share of congrats in October inshallah.

You have a good point there, I didn't think of that. Many male applicants that had their interview during April are being cleared now from AP...I guess next month will be May...This is reallly goood news to hear that the time is decreasing Alhamdulilah

I'm glad!!! I hope it continues insha'Allah.... I'm praying for all of you
