hi all!

Congratulations to everyone who just got approved!!! My wife had an CR1 inetrview today in Islamabad. She was approved and they kept her passport and told her that she will recieve her passport along with visa within four days via American Express Courier service. They asked very simple questions about my job and how we met etc. They did see our weeding pics and then approved her. My wife said that there was a pakistan guy with an American lady and they both interviwed her. She said that they both were very polite and nice with her.

Thanks for everyone who has helped me in this journey!! We are alomst done!! And best of luck to everyone who have upcoming interviews!! Regards, Rehan

Dear FFFF's,

:idea: :idea: :idea: Just wanted to share :secret: some info with you - I called USEM this morning and asked if they had an earlier date available than my scheduled date. I had originally scheduled Sept 15th and they said I could choose Aug 19th or Aug25th. As my medical was scheduled for Aug 20th, and Aug 19th is in only 3 working days, I wouldn't have the time to get ready for 19th so I rescheduled for Aug 25th. That's 22 days earlier. :clock: WOO HOO :dance::dance::dance:

So, if anyone has more than a month and a half to interview date and is sure that their file has been received to USEM in their country, go ahead and give it a shot, it is soooooo worth it :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Taj congrats on your interview date!! News for you guys on my hubby's interview. He said it was really long but the lady was very nice to him. She told him everything was ok but he was in AP. I guess the only good news that came out of it is she kept his passport. I cried like a baby and I have a splitting headache right now. I just pray this is not a long drawn out process.

They kept his passport Betsy - that's spectacular, we didn't even get that.

Congrats one and all. I'll get to updating the sheet on Monday or so. I am super busy with our county fair. I'm so happy for y'all, but also so disappointed now that we are on AP especially since Betsy's husband at least gave up his passport :cry::crying: DOS won't tell me anything, in fact they argue with me when I tell them that this isn't "standard procedure" that I know 10-20 people who in the last two months were approved at their interview - they insist no one is approved at interview. THIS TOTALLY SUCKS!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry for you and your hubby and I am very familiar with that embassy, but am curious when you say they said no one is approved? Please can you explain that? That way we are also prepared when the time comes.
