I have sent all the documents to my wife via DHL (just in case if emabssy re-schedule our interview), they said it will take 3 to 4 business days before documents will get there.

I am praying the documents gets there safely since there are not only docs in the envelope but the efforts of 7 months and hope for future and happiness for us and relaxation from HANGING in there..... :dance:

Data Sheet

The embassy replied to my request for an earlier date, by saying something to the effect, that they are understaffed and busy. At least I tried. HANGING in there.... though.

I sent my wife all documents via DHL also, its pretty safe and fast also. I think it took documents 2-3 days to reach lahore. Also, just a side note, Dr. Romana is not a very friendly doctor. I have read people filing complaints against her to the US embassy. So dont expect her to be a friendly, caring, polite doctor - thats what I heard from people. My wife went there too, and after the medical she had a question about something, and she couldn't get to her, her assistant answered all questions. And guess what was the answer. YEH AAP KAY AUR MAIRAY SAMAJHNAY KEE BAAT NAHIN HAI, DOCTOR SAHIBA KO SAB PATA HAI, JO UNHOUN NAY KIYA HAI, THEEK KIYA HAI....... HAHAHAHA

Yes, I am aware of the fact about this Dr. that is why I called my Sister (She is Gynachologist gratuated from Fatima Jinnah) and have her talk to Dr. Romana. My sister called her during her normal practice hours and she gave next tuesday for medical exam, One hour later my sister called again and told her to schedule it early so she changed it to this coming Saturday. Let's see how it goes.

Hi datasheet, did you ask the embassy for an earlier date on the interview or are you letting it ride?

Yes, I asked embassy for earlier date but did not get co-operative response. I called them twice and talk to the same person, I think she is Pakistani-American and does not have control over anything, she told me that some officer has to look into my case and decide, when to decide, she does not know and told to call back after one week.

Data Sheet

I just sent them an email request for an earlier date, lets see what happens. I'll keep you posted.

Good Luck. Once US embassy assigns the interview date, they usually don't change the interview dates. But you can def try. You may have to call them and request over the phone.

There is no such thing as LUCK.

Thats all there it is, these days getting through immigration process= being lucky.

Always look down on those who have been denied or are not able to go through this process. There is something call "luck" and denying it could be a leading to Kufar.

Don't hate the player, Hate the game

How could denying "luck" lead to kufar? Are you thinking of "fate" i.e. kismat?

There are some who think that everything positive in life is a direct result of hard work/intelligence/etc. I may not agree with it, but it's hard to rule that out as well.

HEllo people. I have a question. Once the security clearance is done, what are the next steps? Does AP constitute of only security clearance or is there something else that goes on? Does anyone know the time approximates of how long it takes after security clearnace is done? I just wanna get some time estimates in my head. It has been exactly 3 months since my fiance's interview :(

As I saw in ALI1978's case that they took a week to issue the Visa once his wife AP was cleared.

AP is Security/Background check

Thanks for the info! Seems like once security clearance is done, things should moved pretty fast. Hopefully we will all see some results really soon!
