[waiting4s 0]

I have a good news from my side today. I sent email to US embassy yesterday and receive reply

"Please contact with American Express after three days for collection of your passport and visa packets."

At last the process is going to end. Thanks for all of your help especially Marry.

Zaki

Zaki Congrats!!!! I really think all this is because they got a new Ambassador in March. It seemed like before then, things were moving at a snail's pace or not at all.

I have some good news too. Looks things are really moving!!! We got this from the Embassy today. We knew that we still had these things pending. We are just excited that they are asking him to bring the passport.

"Dear Applicant,

Please be informed that we are ready to continue processing your case. However, as we go ahead with this, we would like you to submit a new Police Clearance certificate from Peshawar, a new medical report and your passport.

You can come to our office any working Monday, between 08:00 to 10:00 am with these items and a copy of this message and submit them. We look forward to seeing you come to our office with these documents.

Yours truly,

Immigrant Visa Unit"

Congrats

Hey everyone, my wife had her interview this morning and sounds like everything went smooth. After a few general questions about me, what I do, where I live, hobbies, favorites, etc. The forms were collected and she was given a pink slip to hand over when she picks up her passport. They told her congratulations, she's approved. They did not mention any AR/AP, but did take all of her fingerprints. They also told her that she should recieve her passport within a week or two. I'm verrrry happy yet a little confused, cause based on what I read, everyone got the pink slip and fingerprints even the AR/AP ones????? Well, I hope she will get her passport & visa soon.

Again, I'd like to thank everyone on this board for their support, feedback, and continuious updates.

If anyone who has went through this, and can answer the whole pink slip question, while stating that she will recieve her passport in a week or two...., I'd appreciate it.

Zeyad,

My wife had the exact same experience during her interview and received her visa through AMEX 1 week later. The pink slip is just a token and it appears she'll be getting her visa soon. Congrats. My wife is set to arrive in the US in two weeks.

Good luck to all.

I am curios when was your interview that they are asking for these two things again?

Actually my fiance had an enormously stressful time making it to his interview from Afghanistan. He was hitting all kinds of police blocks, etc so he missed his medical exam and lost his police certificates en route. At the interview they just told him he would have to provide these things before the visa is issued. That's the story KS.

Hello People! I guess today IS a day for celebration!! I called DOS this morning and they said that our security clearance has completed!! since the 27th of June! So, according to that its already been a lil more than a week since the clearance was done. How long should be wait before calling Isl embassy? Andddd ... when should we expect our passport to arrive? We are soooo excited and scared at the same time, hoping keh we DO get our visa soon!

BTW ... Congrats to Zaki, KJO, and Zayed!!! Inshallah all of us will get our visas in hand soon!!

Personally, I would email the embassy for an update and see what they will tell you on your case. Wishing you all the best on getting a visa in hand soon.
