My sister-in-law who works closely with the embassy said that they were scheduling interviews last week and expected that we would have an announcement by the end of last week. Well last week came and went with no news. But we had members on VJ state that the ones who had their interviews initially canceled due to Covid are being scheduled for interviews October 13th. However as far as I know these are the only interviews being scheduled and this may be the case for the next couple of weeks. These members were initially document qualified back in February 2020.
 

My assumption is that once they have worked through the backlog of canceled interviews and start resuming NEW interviews, we will see an announcement. This is a worst case scenario as other embassies announced their opening within a week or two of scheduling their own canceled interviews. So let’s see, I think we will almost certainly see an announcement in the next 3 weeks, but I have been wrong before (about last week). The Islamabad embassy is opening much slower than others.

I really hope that you are correct. 3 weeks is nothing compare to all the waiting we did. Back in July and August, I understand that they are re-opening it slowly due to Covid but now its almost end of September with no new news. So hopefully we will see an announcement really soon. Thank you for your help and keep updating us.

What are some reasons of expediting?

The ones I have seen successful here are usually due to financial plus another valid reason. Also, it does not impact the processing of your CR1 otherwise. 
 

It’s a long shot though and many more get rejected than accepted. But it’s worth a shot if you qualify.

When were you DQ’ed? Yes, the wait is pretty awful, it’s slowing down a lot of people’s lives. Is there a way you can visit your spouse? Very few countries are issuing visas to Pakistanis due to Covid, so he does not have too many options to go anywhere either way.

Would going into depression and giving out a doctor note make a difference ? I ve sent a inquiry to nvc saying about finicial but if that gets rejected i wanna try again .

Well try to get an advice from an immigration lawyer or attorney whatever it's called.they would give you the best advice,If you can expedite your case or not.i would seek advice from someone who actually knows around the immigration rules.
