Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[saqfin 0]

All,

My wife's K3 interview was today and I just wanted to let you know the brief things I found out already.

She was told by the lady she is approved and should get her visa in "a few weeks". The embassy kept all her documents that were on the checklist, including her passport, all the certificates, and all my tax information.

My wife was handed a white paper with some american express locations written on them, plus a pink square sheet of paper that did not state any information clearly.

My wife told me the lady who interviewed her didn't seem to be a good mood from the beginning and asked tons of questions and smiled barely once. Compared to what i've read here, it appears my wife had many more questions to answer. They asked alot about me and how we met in detail. Her interview time was at 8 in the morning and she was already back home by 10:30, so it went much quicker than I thought.

I'm going to talk to her in detail later today and post more information then. I'm glad the interview went well and hopefully this wait/AR will be over soon. The fact that they embassy kept all her info and passport I believe is a good thing.

Thank you all for your help.... and just another hundred more steps or so until the entire visajourney is over.

Congratulations dear, mostly those are on AP receive the same white paper with pink square sheet. Hope your wife's AP will go fast.

I called DOS yesterday and they guy told me it is still under security checking when it will clear we will call you are send you letter.

hey every1

whats up

hope alls going well

havent heard anything from anyone in quite a while

any male got approveD?

or heard anything?

take care and best wishes!

regards

saeedeh

hey Saeedah,

the problem over here is that when someone does get approved they don'y update others as they just stop showing up. I think they should at least do the courtesy of updating everyone so we have a little perspective on the timelines.

Anyway, my wife is on AP as well so i am in the same boat with you guyz.

Most people do report upon getting the visa. Unfortunately,very few (I'm talking about the men applicants only) on this thread have actually received the visa this year. Quite frankly, when you're waiting for years to be reunited with your family, you don't feel like talking much anyways.

Congrats Oasriz, I think you're more than half way there. Your wife's visa is obviously approved, and I think that she will be getting it in a few weeks like many others. From what I saw, It has been 2 weeks from the time of interview. What I don't understand is the "pink slip" comment. If they took everything and said that she will get her visa in a few weeks and gave her

Amex info, that probably means that she is good to go. But then again, i'm not sure if Khurram's wife got the white and pink sheet. I think he said something about 30 to 60 days or even sooner. I guess i'm up next. All these pink slips make me want to go and attend with her.

I think pink slip is a token for the collection of passport. Correct me if i am wrong.

Congrats.

I beleive they are supposed to give you an official document if they put you on AP/AR, correct me if I am wrong. You might want to have her scan the papers have them emailed to you.

I just emailed them yesterday with the case number in the subject line and inquired about the case, no reply yet. But from previous experience with them, it takes them a few days to reply. I may have jumped the gun as they also forwarded my case on the 31st.

Hi waiting4s,

That is good news and I think we might get email reply back soon from Islamabad as I have sent them email too.

Keep me posted please. I am not good at collecting documents and I have asked Khurram to assist me in this regard.

Great document Khurram. What are you having your wife do during the wait? I believe you started inquiring about additional vacctinations for later. My wife's travel agent again insists she needs a transit visa to go through the UK. I want her to speak directly to a PIA spokesperson as well, as we have all found information to the contrary.

I should get the scan of the documents they gave my wife along with the questions they asked her. Of course, I'll post them here as soon as I get them.

She received two documents. One was a white sheet of paper with the local AMEX information. The other was a small pink square sheet that has 4 digits written on it., no words I'm hoping this is just the token.

Good luck to everyone.

You guyz can track your case going to Islamabad by:

Tracking the diplomatic pouches you can see what day you think it left and track but all are just listed by country and does not specifiy the names or types of visas.

http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackByRef.asp?nav=TrackByRef

Track by reference number of I-730 and the date you think it mailed. Also, contact NVC and inquire on the status 603-334-0700 and they can tell you if and when the pouch was sent.

Sorry Got Side tracked, Congratulations on the Interview buddy!!

Hopefully she will be with you soon, I they guess they treat everyone different as My wife was asked for only a few items off the checklist. I actually was bummed by it as i spent a great deal of time making sure everything was there and was well organized

Once again Buddy CONGRATULATION!!!
