Islamabad, Pakistan - IR1/CR1 Interview Thread November 2014

[Sohailkhan 11]

Yeah I know it's not because of medical.. It's because I posted both at same time so it sounded like that...Anyways..it's just twelve days for interview and they started working on it....was it the same in your wife's case.

That's great to hear, your medical is out of way.

Yes, I saw an update on my wife's case as well. Actually its not being updated after your medical. But Consular Officers look at your case before the interview so they are prepared to ask questions.

My wife case was updated today as well 10-Dec-2014 and her interview is on December 16th (Tuesday). Hoping for things to go really well for her and very minimum questions Insha Allah.

I think they probably had a slow day for interviews or something so they started looking at cases that have interviews in December. Just guessing that's why your case was reviewed 12 days in advance.

Salaam,

My husband's interview is coming up this Tuesday and I was going over all the paper work he need to take with him. On the interview letter they really didn't request anything.

Here is what I have:

1. Interview Letter

2. Medical Report

3. Passport size photo's

4. Police Certificate

5. Affidavit of Support & Tax Forms

6. Receipt of Payments (AOS & IV)

7. Confirmation page of DS261

8. Completed Application & Confirmation Page of DS-260

9. Nika Nama (In English and Urdu)

10. Birth Certificate

11. Marriage Certificate

12. Wedding photos

13. Call logs

14. My Itinerary & photos from trips

15. Copies of civil documents

I think that's everything. Does this look right? Am I missing anything?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to the Islamabad, Pakistan - IR1/CR1 Visa Interview Thread

Hello all,

This is the interview thread I am opening for all the interview inquiries, reviews, experiences, questions and answers for Islamabad Pakistan embassy. I didn't find any specific thread related to Islamabad embassy so thought it will be a great idea to open up a thread where we can all go and get a valuable information from each other.

Hi, I thank you for this thread, that is a continuous work for " khair " Allah will give u the reward for this help for all for peace and love for all.

Please share your interview dates on this thread, post any question, share your interview experience, medical experience, and any other inquiries related to your interview. Lets help each other out through this hectic process.

[meandmine 8]

Thank you so much meandmine for the prayers and wishing the well being for me and my family

I know, I was having a hard time finding one platform where all Pakistani visa applicants could come to and get answers to their questions through experiences others have already went through.

Please share the information of this thread with other Pakistani visa applicants and encourage them to post their questions, interview experiences, timelines and any other inquiries here as it will help many fellow Pakistani visa applicants.

We will certainly share the experience of the interview , when the time will come. Inshallah .

Thank you and good luck with everything.

Insha Allah everything will be fine and Tuesday will turn out to be a day for celebration for both of us, your husband gets approved and my wife gets approved Insha Allah

[zeeaiz 2]

How could I have missed that.

Good luck to your wife as well. Insh allah everything will go smoothly for both of them.

Is there any benefit in doing the interview in English vs Urdu?

I haven't seen anyone saying if their is any benefit in English vs Urdu. My wife feel it's easier for her to do it in Urdu. She is very proficient in English but on a safer side she said she will go with Urdu.

Thank you. Anxiously waiting for December 16th

I picked English and got an extremely nice CO. I think I tend to talk too much in Urdu and didn't want to give them unnecessary information

[Husband Wife 12]

One female applicant had an interview today in Islamabad embassy. She was approved. Here are the questions asked from her and embassy staff wanted her to do interview in English.

Who is calling you
2. What does he do
3. Is he citizen or on any other visa
4. Was marriage love or arrange
5. How many family members he have and if they live with him
6. Will you live with them too
7. How marriage was arranged anyone knew him from family?
Oh and one more thing she wanted interview in urdu but they said if u speak english then why not in English so she had it in English.
