Adil bhai sorry for not being able to return your call. Actually the time difference that we have has caused my call to be late. INSHA ALLAH I will be calling you tomorrow.

hey adil what you talking about approval. no approval yet for you.

No, I said inshallah it's "going to" be approved. Not yet...

But I don't need it anymore... I'm waiting for the ds230 to be reviewed...

Once that is finished, then they will forward it off.

Hello everybody, I am planning on visiting Lahore, Pakistan in February. Was wondering about getting a visa for Pakistan. Does anybody know a good agency I can trust to get my visa? Or did you send your passport directly to the embassy of Pakistan in washington? I am kind of nervous about sending my passport in the mail.

Can anybody also tell me about Lahore airport? Is it a good airport? Did you have any problems with customs? Do they speak english at the airport? I am nervous about going becouse this is only my second time out of the u.s.a and my first time going to Pakistan. I would appreciate any info that anybody might have. Thanks

Hello everybody, I am planning on visiting Lahore, Pakistan in February. Was wondering about getting a visa for Pakistan. Does anybody know a good agency I can trust to get my visa? Or did you send your passport directly to the embassy of Pakistan in washington? I am kind of nervous about sending my passport in the mail.

When I got my visa in Feb 06, I visited the Houston Counsulate asked questions, but thought since I would be in Chicago prior to leaving, I would apply there. Well, the Chicago Counsulate wouldn't accept my papers because I wasn't a resident of the states they service so I ended up overnighting with postage paid return evelopes per their instructions through the USPS ONLY everything to Houston where they processed it and returned it in a timely manner with a visa. So it depends on where you live on where you should send it. Yes, it is nerveracking having the postal system take your passport, but the tracking numbers helped me watch it's progress as well as calm my fears of it being lost.

Can anybody also tell me about Lahore airport? Is it a good airport? Did you have any problems with customs? Do they speak english at the airport? I am nervous about going becouse this is only my second time out of the u.s.a and my first time going to Pakistan. I would appreciate any info that anybody might have. Thanks

Yes, they do speak English at the airports. I've only come and gone through ISB. I wasn't bringing through a large amount of stuff- just normal luggage for a 3 month stay. Compared with others who were arriving with large bags and plenty of luggage, I wasn't looked at or stopped. I just walked out to be greeted by my sweetie at 11 pm which wasn't as bad as arriving at 4 am the previous trip.

Good Luck.
