Appointment at US Embassy?

[Love To Teach 161]

Hi--I am leaving next week to visit my husband (for the 8th time) in Pakistan. We are in AP for the past month.

 

Is it possible to make an appointment at the US Embassy in Islamabad to talk about our case, or at least prove that we have a real relationship by being there? Or would it just make them mad for "bothering" them?

I don't believe you can just go and see anyone at the Embassy. You are of course welcome to visit him in Pakistan anytime, but probably emailing the Embassy with your request would be better. However, they already have the documents they need.

You can schedule an appointment before you get to Pakistan or after you arrive and go see them.  I know people that did that at the embassy in Malaysia.  They went there and they basically told them to continue their process with the USCIS/NVC.  I guess you are trying to proof your marriage is real to the USCIS only and I am not sure the embassy would contact the USCIS for your case, but I know the embassy or consulate I was told has lots of power.  It doesn't hurt to try and I doubt you would "upset" anyone

You've been there 8 times. You should have plenty of evidence to prove your relationship is legitimate.

I don't think there's an option to make appointment just to talk about your case. There's a US Citizen Services part of the embassy, but that has no connection to the visa-granting part of the embassy. There's no harm trying but I just don't think there's even an option to make extra 'interview' style appointments for visa applicants. But, like I said, no harm trying to reach out and see if they say anything. You calling to find out wouldn't make them 'mad' or be 'bothersome', they are public servants and should answer your questions.

You would think so, right? At his interview, my husband felt like he was accused of being a green card fraud. They made a big deal of my divorces, like that can be changed...geeze. Anyway, it's been a year since we saw each other, so I'm looking forward to going (but not that long trip). No telling how long they will keep him in AP.
