Did you guys see the violence in Islamabad tonight? It was horrible. Much worse than before. The embassy surely would have been closed had it been a week day.

She has been calling the number for delivery people. They called her today and said its ready for pickup.

Interview Aug 28

Ready for pickup Sep 2.

I will find out if she has picked it up yet or not. Your wife was probably given a paper with deliver names/address and phone numbers. Try calling those.

Give it few days. Embassy should have given her a list of couriers to call close to her location. Since for my wife the location was near Islamabad she went there and picked it up. She called for 2 days straight and they finally said its here and she received it today.

Hi guys, I was hoping I could get some advice from those of you who have had your interviews in the last couple of weeks.

What route did you take to get to the shuttle service?

I have been trying to call them to ask them which roads are open etc, but can't get through on the number listed.

So if any of you could give me directions, that would be amazing.

Is Islamabad Highway - Murree Road - 3rd ave a good option?
