The Islamabad and Karachi appointments are all the way in 2023 now. Is there any chance that appointments might get rescheduled to be sooner?

 

 

You're trying to get a tourist visa with a pending spousal visa?

F1? Tourist visa? Spousal visa?   This could be seen as visa shopping......in desperation to get inside the US.  It is not a good look.

Very unlikely. I know I scheduled a relative in Nigeria and they are in 2024. U would need to keep checking the calendar see if earlier dates show. They aren't going to reschedule you. You would have to cancel your current date and try to grab an earlier date if that ever happens.

I don't see it happening for you, sorry.  You're free to apply of course.

And in some of his posts OP sounds like he’s the sponsor trying to get his wife to join him in the US. But in the F1 post he sounds like he is the one who’s in Pakistan. 😳 Confusing

Doing it is one thing, and getting the B1B2 is completely another. Not many people have had success in this.

Don’t do that. You know full well that you’re planning on staying. Coming to the US as a tourist with the intent to stay is fraud; even if you’re not caught at the border, it will come up during your adjustment of status and it might raise some red flags that could potentially lead to a denial. Don’t try to jump through the loops, it will actually make it longer:

You’re desperate to game the system huh? Next thing you’ll be asking about is if you an apply for high school or be an au pair?
