New Islamabad AP-Tracker, Part II

[bonapart 1]

Do NOT rely on verbal info or info you get on phone. Unless it's documented, you can never take it up..

I received an 'email' from the khi consulate congratulating me for visa issuance, when infact it was only my AP that was completed and the embassy was waiting for my ds2019!

You should never rely on documented proof too. They've pre-printed pages for all refusal or AP clauses. They just pull out paper from side of window, put PP number and date and then hand them to applicant. When you have passport with visa inside, that is the ONLY confirmation.

carolyn, u must've used his PP number sumwhere in the emails to the embassy regarding updates.. but if u dnt, u can simply call the embassy with his case number and ask for the pp no.

Thanks Austin Guy,

I think it works the same for NIV too. but i'll request holding my case once i knw thru dos that my AP is complete or near completion. They've a seperate landline for exchange visitors/students and mostly give info beyond the usual 'still AP'!

I remember they used to inform that out of 4 checks, three were completed and that the fourth was in progress. so u cud have a general idea abt whether to plan travelling or not!

My husband sent his new passport to the embassy without making a copy of it. To get a new police certificate he needs his passport number. I have emailed the embassy yesterday and asked for the number. So far no response from the embassy.

AFAIK, They don't require to have Police Certificate from Pakistan anymore. Did embassy ask for the new certificate? Look at the following link.

Police Records

Not available. Pakistan has no nationwide tracking system in place for criminal activities. Police Character Certificates are available for a fee from District Coordinating Offices. However, they are not an accurate reflection of an individual's criminal record. An applicant who has committed a crime in one district may be able to obtain a clean Character Certificate from that district or another. Given the inaccuracy of these certificates, they are not required for consular processing.
