islamabadembassy IR1 at ISL Waiting for IL 2022

[Raja007 67]

I have read some where in one of the Facebook groups that they are prioritizing Afghan cases over Pakistanis which is the major cause of delay for Islamabad embassy. I don't know whether its true or not. Just throwing it out there.

but still they should still be coverd the pakistanis  faster even with afghan cases. So i guss the time will now be increasing more then 20 months or something….. with how slow this is going.

True that. So normal IR 1 processing times for Pakistanis from start to finish is 48 months average nowadays.

This separation and delay caused so many issues between me and my wife.  Now unfortunately we are getting divorced and this is all the fault of US IMMIGRATION

sorry to hear about that. Even if you get re married and re file again in Pakistan it’ll still be a long wait especially just for interview. Me and my wife been waiting 9 months so far and no letter yet but we are still being patient cause we know it’ll come sometimes next year. Others have been waiting a long time for the interview letter. The delay is because Islamabad is priority afghan cases at the moment that’s why our cases are being delayed otherwise they probably would have been caught up.

I'm so sorry to hear that...It is causing so many problems in marriages because we are all waiting just to start life together. I can't even talk to people about this because no one understands and says "take this as a sign" or "enjoy living single life." I quit talking about this at all to anyone in family/friends because those were the responses I got and so many doubts develop and it's just so awful. No one understands how frustrating this whole process is except us unlucky people who got married last 1-3 years T_T. I'm sorry.. 

[AMK2021 29]

I feel so bad for the people who have kids too! Gosh it's so awful how we are all suffering and Islamabad embassy will never do anything to help it's own people and just doesn't care.

Hey guys any new IL?

[Raja007 67]

Looks like Islamabad embassy has disappeared in the workload piled up as a result of their slackness 😂 now they don't even want to acknowledge any genuine expedite requests and rejecting them without even reading a bit.
