Islamabad Embassy - No show to interview but we never received interview date or time

[ruby1989 0]

Today my Fiance received a call from the Islamabad embassy stating that his interview was today and that he missed his slot.

They asked why we missed the appointment and he told them that we never received any documentation for the interview date and time.

The man on the phone said that they sent the appointment through email and they do not send by post, he even questioned my fiance and I speak on a regular basis (which we do).

And said that we didn't communicate this with each other. We have been waiting for any sign from the embassy and have received none through mail or email.

I went back through my emails and found nothing I received. We only received a confirmation for filling out the D-160 form on 9/30/15. After which, it said we should file our paperwork and upon receipt of that paperwork will receive interview documentation.

Today on the phone call, they claimed to send us our interview date to my email (to sponsor's email address) on 9/30 same day that we filed the D-160. To me this doesn't make sense.

We sent our final packet documentation on 10/26/15 - So technically, we could not have received our interview date before then. (yes/no)

Should they not have sent the interview letter in the mail?

BTW, we also followed up on the phone with them between 10/26/15 and last week to see if there was any update on the status and they referred us to the website which said no status.

The man said to send them an email stating our side of the story and that they will reschedule. But this doesn't look the best for us that we didn't show up to interview (but we didn't receive anything!).

Any help or experience with this embassy is really appreciated.

Thanks

The man on the phone said that they sent the appointment through email and they do not send by post, he even questioned my fiance and I speak on a regular basis (which we do). Thats how we got our interview date, through e-mail. So I guess that's true for most consulates.

Should they not have sent the interview letter in the mail? Email makes more sense since mail is more unreliable and could arrive too late.

I got our interview date also on my fiancee's e-mail address (the US citizen/petitioner), so my guess is that she either didn't see it, or got caught by a spam filter or something like that. I think your only option is to send in the e-mail explaining and reschedule. I don't think it will look play against you really.

I looked and cannot find any email, no correspondence . I really didn't get an email or letter. Anyone know what the process is afterwards? My fiance has sent them an email. How long will it take to reschedule the interview?

They could have sent it to the wrong email address. I am like 100% sure I read a very similar post to yours where they actually sent the email to the wrong address. Btw they got their senator involved and got the case resolved. I would suggest you do the same.

Not too long ago I found that I have two emails in a Junk folder from USCIS. They were actually "junk" but I would assume emails from USCIS would not go to that folder. So, if you haven't why dont you check that folder maybe it's there.
