Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[jaxguy 0]

slam everyone,how are you all

W'salam. I am fine.

My wife got a call from American Express yesterday to come over and pick up a letter.

I am hoping this is packet 4, Inshallah. She is afraid it could be RFE for packet 3.5

We'll find out in next 7 to 8 hours.

Well, Good news and Bad news.

Good news is, my wife received packet 4

Bad news is, interview date is after more than 6 months, April 8, 2008

It is terrible and so cruel to make us wait this long for may be just 10 to 20 minutes long interview. Specially in my case when I have been separated from my family for 4 1/2 years. Regardless of how long you are away from your loved ones, you want to be reunited as soon as possible.

ISB got to be the worst embassy in the whole world, and no sign of it getting better any time soon.

Jaxguy, Sorry to hear that they are still issuing the dates so far out (our's was the same way). One thing you can do is give it some time and then e-mail them asking for your interview to be moved closer if they have an opening sooner. In some cases they will move the case up if they can for a female. Right now it is end of the physical year, dv lottery, and all the holidays are coming up. Hang in there an hopefully it will be moved up for you.

As for me (old timers know about son) we got more bad news and two more surgeries are to be performed end of November. We got confirmation he is totally deaf in his left ear. This will be about his 15th and 16th surgery since 2002 so please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Jaxguy, is this for wife and kids together?

I called the DOS today and they said that my wife's case was being processed at the embassy, so I asked if her security clearence was complete and they said yes. So what happens now ?

Oh I am so happy for you Khurram!! Congratulations!! I was worried about it since it has been more than four months. I believe, within one or two weeks(I wish earlier), your wife will recieve a call from American express to pick up her visa and passport.

By the way, I think it is a good time to email Islamabad embassy and tell them about the clearnce and ask them when will she get the visa.

Again congratulations! You wait is almost over!!!

Thanks QaSiM--aIsHa, hp81, kim-786 and scarlethawk

This is just for my wife. Kids cases will be completed at NVC by end of November.

I know, I have another "battle" at hand to convince ISB embassy to schedule my kids interview when my wife goes for her interview. Never a dull moment in immigrant's life ........
