Humera,

I lived in ISL for over 6 years back in early 90's and never came across this hotel. Is it new?

I don't know if its new. I stayed there in 2004. Here is their address :

Marina International

109-E Jinnah Avenue

Blue Area

Islamabad

hey guys salaams,

My husband just had the interview at the Islamabad embassy and they said in four weeks they will email him wether they approve it or not for him to pick up his visa.

He had gotten in line at 5am and was out by 10:30am

my husband said that there were two other couples both from NY whose wife's received visa right there.

Questions asked:

What language you prefer: Urdu or English

Does your wife live alone in the US, date of her last visit with you in Abu Dhabi, repeatedly asked date of marriage, what he does, then again date of marriage, name of petitioner, Date of marriage, where your spouse works, saw all of the pictures,

Since my husband came from Abu Dhabi they asked why he didn't just apply from there. Because our marriage had taken place in Pakistan so he had to have his interview in Pakistan for a K-3 visa.

ok take care,

good luck to everyone

Farah, he was put on administrative review. As for those other people from NY, they probably got approval for their visas, but the passport will still be sent via courier in 1 or 2 weeks time. I wish you and your husband a speedy reunion.

Farah,

Did they say anything about AR? did they keep his passport? or gave him a pink slip?

If he lived in Abu Dhabi then name check is must for all men. What surprises me that they didn't mentioned anything about AR to farah's husband.

Hang in there!

Hi Humera,

I stayed in Crown Place when I took my wife for her interview back in March, its not very great but not too bad for the price, I paid about 1500.00 rupees for one day

Thanks

Inifit, now that's a very reasonable price. Do you know where they are located? Blue area? I would appreciate any sort of contact info u have for them. Thanks again. I appreciate it.

Humera,

not sure if I still have the address but I have look in my old papers so if I find any then I will let u know but all I know is that it was like 10 min away from embassy and area called Apara or something like that

Thanks,

No the lady just said in 4wks they will email him regarding his visa, they didnt not keep his pspt cuz my husband had to fly back to abu dhabi to attend his work the same day. So there was no way they could have kept the pspt cuz it had his UAE visa on there too. No they did not mention anything to my husband they gave him a white paper explaining to him what AP is about so i dont know what that means> Very lost just praying everything goes well.

My case was sent from NVC to Islamabad last week. I emailed the Embassy and they told me that they sent the Packet 3.5 to my husband. My question is how long does it take for him to get it? What is in the Packet 3.5 and how soon after does he get his interview? Please advise. Thanks.

Here is what I have seen in this forum, not sure how accurate it is now. Someone with recent experience please confirm.

Requirements for packet 3.5 (CR-1):

1- Ds-230 part 1 and part 2 (remember you sign part 1 but do not sign part 2, you sign it infront of the CO).

2- Orignal copy of Marriage certificate and translated copy (if marriage certificate was in Urdu).

3-Police Certificate.

4-Medical report (no X-rays reports).

5-Death or divorce certificate of previous marriage (this options only apply to Beneficiary).

6- If I-864 is not submitted at NVC, must turn it in with Packet 3.5

7- If I-864 submitted at NVC, then the beneficiary must write a 1 page letter stating that the petitioner has submitted the I-864 at the NVC.

8- 2 pictures.

9- orignal copy of Birth Certificate and translated copy (if orignal was in Urdu).
