hi,

can we estimate, how long it takes to get the actcual visa in hand after the interview at Islamabad embassy. I am more concern about females coming from Pakistan and I know that most of the males are on put on AP.

If approved and all paperwork is in order i.e. no further processing is required visa is issued to most of the females.

Now when does one gets visa in hand depends on several factors. At times ppl who live near ISL get their passport back w/in 1-3 days! ppl who live further away get their visa in hand w/in 2-3 weeks (avg)

Additionally, it also depends on ISL workload.

Recently it has been taking ISL about 3-5 weeks to return passport w/visa.

Lastly I would recommend not to book any tickets prior to having your visa in hand! ! !

Good lucks,
