I have my interview in first week of February

I had my interview on 9th dec 2013 at islamabad embassy and this is my personal experince. The security checking is not a problem, first you have to deposite your cell phone at mobile deposite counter,which is the first counter from the left side they will give you a recipt of it. Then you have to buy tickets for shuttle service, the name of embassy will be written on the top of the ticket counter. The ticket cost rs:200 per head. Then there is security checkpoint the officer will tell you to take all the things out of your pocket

wallet, keys etc, he will do a physical search, then you have to wait for the bus. Bus will take you to the embassy and then at the entrance you have to put of all the things of your pockets and any kind of metal, belt keys etc, go through a scanner and take the things back and go in, thats all. Wear whatever you want becuase it will be very cold in the morning.They never say to put off the shoes or socks at any point,so dont worry about checking you will not be alone, there will be a lot of people going with you.
