Thank you so much. The new embassy is a much nicer facility compared to the last building they used. The interview went well and we were approved. I will post a full review when I am back in the states.

Yeah Chezzzz.... You did it.. Have a safe flight

K1 Visa Approval Experience from Islamabad Embassy.

Reached Shuttle Service: 5:45 (It was a rainy day)

Shuttle ticket office opened: 7:00

Boarded bus to Embassy: 7:15

There are 2 checkpoints before you enter the main embassy building.

In the embassy:

First the will give you a token number. First your number will be called for fingerprints then for Medical submission. In my case I was called third time for k1 visa fees submission. They call numbers randomly for interview. I was the first one to enter embassy that morning but was called for interview quite late. While giving fingerprints and submitting medical I saw my case folder through the window. My folder had AP written on top of it. I was sure that the interview will be just a formality and that they have already decided to put me on AP.

I was called for the interview in a while.

The officer took the oath from me and asked me to put my fingers on the reader. They couldnt verify my finger prints so he called his colleague. He sorted it out.

Officer greeted me morning with a smile and asked the following questions,

Who is calling you?

How do you know each other?

I saw some pics from UK, what where you doing there?

How long have you been in UK?

How you guys you used to communicate?

Take your original documents, I am approving your visa and the courier service will contact with you in 2 weeks.

Thats it!! He didnt asked me to show a single document. I had alot of evidences, photographs and chat logs with me to show them but they didnt ask for anything. I was on the interview window for less than 2 minutes.

The officer was a gentleman. He was smiling and friendly with me all time.

Dont get confused if you see AP written on your case, it may be mean approval as in my case.

my interview was more likely same ,the only difference was on my file Approved was written on top ,in my case CO never smiled during the whole interview rather he was kinda angry look,dont know why

but he gave me AP at the end

anyways pray for me to get my visa soon inshallah

only those people who are put on AP,knows how frustrating stressful and hard it is ..

Can anyone here tell me if we are given an option at the interview to pickup visa from embassy or get it mailed to the mailing address?

The Visa/Passport is always sent to the American Express and you have to go collect from them.
