okay so I called back - got a SUPER nice lady named "Ola" (something like that)... she checked and stayed on the line w/ me for some time... she said that it didn't specifically say the prints were back but that she would assume it had b/c typically the cable would not have gone back to the embassy and as far as she could tell the clearance process was completed here in washington and it's now up to ISL for final adjudication... but she also said that it was not a clear cut response so ISL might need to do some follow up - I asked what a "not clear cut" response was and she said she couldn't say... she did also say that based on everything she saw on the different screens all seemed normal and nothing out of the ordinary.. and also that the ISL email came on the 30th, the cable was sent out at the end of last week and that ISL has only had it for two days now.... OMG I'm so nervous now... khaire insha'Allah :huh:

Dear brother & sisters, Salam

I am very thankful to Almighty Allah, prophet Muhammad (sww) & his family that finally my wife approved today at United States embassy Islamabad for her CR1 visa :star: as per new rules she will get the package (brown envelope) via Amex in one week (inshallah). I know it was not an easy journey for me in the beginning however after the approval I had very smooth ride. I would like to thank every individual for her/his guidance and moral support through out the process (17 months).

I will write her interview details in a later post as per her it was very simple and straightforward immigration interview.

For those who are still waiting best of luck guys everything will be all right soon. :thumbs:

I am very relieved and grateful to ALLAH for this day. :dance::dance:

Today’s interview in a glance

Just spoke with my wife and I am trying right now to summarized everything in the best way I could.

There were total two short interviews the first one conducted by desi CO @ window 5 around 9:00 a.m. in which he asked following questions.

1, what is your husband’s name?

Wife answered that question promptly (very simple question)

2, what he does for living?

My wife, he is Software consultant

3, where he lives in States?

My wife: In Houston Texas.

4, When did you guys married?

My wife: Nov 14, 2004

After this short interview which hardly last for four minutes desi dude asked my wife please sits down we will call you again on your turn.

At 1:00 p.m. (after 4 hours of waiting) American CO called my wife’s name (please come to window 6).

American CO. where you husband lives in CO?

My Wife: Houston Texas.

American CO. Do you have your wedding pictures with you?

My wife: Yes I got ‘em and hand over three albums to him. (He watched few of ‘em but didn’t ask any question)

American CO. why your family relocate almost every year between Karachi & Lahore?

My wife: because of my father’s job.

American CO. What your father does?

My wife: (Country manager of one of the largest U.S company in Pakistan)

American CO. Wow, that is great..

what is your father’s name

My wife: replied my father-in-law’s name

American CO. Congratulations, Mubarak hoo ap ko (whew gora was speaking Urdu). your case has approved for CR1 visa. You will receive your all papers with your passport via Amex in one week and then he took my wife’s fingerprints

It was hardly 10 minutes game however it took her almost seven hours. Thanks Lord due to last night rain Islamabad’s weather today was not bad at all.

Wsalam.
