Hi! I want to know about the visa process after the embassy receives the petition. The NVC received my case for fiance(e) visa today and will be forwarding it to the US embassy in Islamabad soon.

The embassy website mentions the D 160 form as the first step. I want to know if i have to choose an agent or not. If so, how and when do i have to do it.

I also would like to know if a birth certificate both in Urdu and English is acceptable, since the one i was issued with is in both languages. Thankyou!

You don't need an agent for anything, you need to fill the form Ds-160 later after the Islamabad Embassy receives your petition. they will tell in packet 3.5 that you need to fill out that form.

If you Birth Certificate was produced in both Urdu and English languages then its acceptable and you dont need translation because it already done.
