Calling Islamabad Embassy v 3

[dknoon3 0]

Salam all,

Please except my apologies for not being able to reply to your posts earlier. I ran a marathon over the weekend and I was sleeping for hours after that, therefore I couldn’t check the posts.

Yes, It is true. We received our passport in 3 days. I was surprised to see it too because I have read that at times it take up to three weeks for people in Karachi to receive their passports.

but I think the reason may have been because I live 5 miles away from the embassy and they simply hand deliver the passport to our local AmEx facility in Islamabad.

My advice would be to simply (take no tension). The passport will somehow make it to our homes.

Shan.

My fiancee got her passport and visa back today. She interviewed March 27 and picked it up today in Karachi. What a relief that this is over...it will make my trip to Karachi this weekend less stressful knowing that she will be coming home with me when i return to the states.

You must be done by now. How did the interview go?

~Hello! So, sorry for the late response we have been so busy! The interview went smoothly and everything is fine according to the officer! Just waiting on the visa as per his request. They told him he has to pick up his passport with the visa on it when he is called from Amex. Is this meaning no AP or short AP? Need tips here! We will post the review soon, we are somewhat busy this week with family!~

congratulations!!

I think he was not put on AP. The same thing happend to one of my closed relatives last year. He had an IR1 case. They took his passport and gave him the pink slip and told him that American express will call him. He recived call after three weeks and he got the visa.. I think not all males are put on AP. Best of luck to both of you!!!

Congrats to all getting Visa's.

Question.. Has anyone had issues with TCS delivery? Our packet 3.5 was sent from ISL on March 20th and never made it to the wife, Has been resent on March 31st and haven't received it yet either so just wondering. Called TCS and they need a tracking number and ISL won't tell us the tracking number.

Oh quick question. My brother in law's wife was given a green sheet saying her case was pending adminstrative processing for documents but they kept her passport. What does this mean? Her interview was March 27th. Does anyone know what the green sheet stands for?

AP sheets r white, blue, and green. it means her case requires further admin processing.

good lucks,

Hi Mahitab. I think he still has AP because he did not hear an exact approved did he? Karim had his interview several weeks back and they did not keep his passport but issued two sheets of paper. One white and one green. What is the deal with colors and keeping and not keeping of pasports. Anyone got any idea? What is the longest time for AP and does color of forms matter? Karim was told he is undergoing documentation administrative processing. How time consuming is this process? Please reply soon.

Hi Everyone

I called DOS yesterday and wrote to the embassy asking the status of our case. The embassy wrote back and said the usual response "AP". DOS... did not give me the usual response. The lady told me that "Waheed WILL be getting his visa VERY SOON".... OMG. So I asked her what was the last update from the embassy. She told me "you wrote to the embassy and they responded What did they write to you?" Then before I could answer she said "Did they tell you AP?" I told her yes. Then she said "Listen to me, Waheed WILL be getting his visa VERY SOON". She would not give me anymore info than that.

I dont know what is happening here. I am too afraid to get excited about this, only to be let down again.

peace
