Could someone please help me here! The situation: my wife has her immigrant visa interview on the 17th of March which is Tuesday in Islamabad, Karachi. I understand due to major rally's and riots going on in Islamabad they have announced to suspend all consular services and that the embassy would be closed for the two days 16th and the freakin 17th. Visa Interviews would be rescheduled as per the Warden notice on the embassy's website. Could someone tell me how soon do they rescedule the interview next? My wife's in Islamabad, she originally resides in Karachi which is a 2 hour flight from where she's at right now. Has someone come across a situation like this before? I need to know so I can let my wife know to either stay in Islamabad or come back to Karachi. It also says on the website that the embassy will contact the immigrant visa interviewers and let them know of their appropriate rescheduled days and times, problem is the number I provided the embassy is her home phone in Karachi. I have already emailed the embassy in Islamabad and NVC in the US here to let me know of the details or the rescheduled interview as well. Is there anything else I could do? or what should I do next? HELP PHUUULeEEEeeZ.. I would really appreciate it!

first of all sorry to hear the situation going on in Pakistan at the moment. from what i heard no one is allowed to enter Islamabad as it has been sealed completely. as much as it sucks to say but its better to be safe then sorry. i think your interview will be rescheduled as soon as possible. when? noone knows but i am sure you will be put on some kind of a priority list. keep an eye out on the embassy website in islamabad and keep calling NVC to get more information. I am sure, NVC will have more up to date and all the information once Islamabad decides to reschedules. good luck and i hope things settle in Pakistan soon!

i m sure though that ur not alone.even my hubby's police certificate are taking longer cause of the carp thats going on there.but dont worry it shouldnt take longer. they will reschedule as soon as they have empty slots.If your wife doesnt work ,i think better to stay in islamabad n enjoy after the ####### settles down as there are lot of nice places there so the wait doesnt seem longer(impossible) .otherwise come back n wait n pray to go back.Best of luck

hey, thanks for the comment on my post. if your husband lives in Karachi and have applied for a police certificate and is taking long to obtain it, here is where you should ask him to go, Main University Road near Urdu Science College, Same building as Nosh Computers and Asghar Bawarchee, there is a US and UK immigration office in the same building by the name of Roshan Enterprises. they charge about Rs. 3500 to Rs. 4000 or somthing and you will have the police certificate in your hand in a week's time guaranteed!! best of luck!
