Walikum Salaam Cindi,

Here is what I read online you must file before the 90 days but (If you file it too early, they will send your application back.) Someone else may know differently but this is the guide I am using.

Zaki you need the letter to obtain enterance into the embassy. Contact someone if your interview is in two days and no letter. Also, your evidence must be able to go under the window you can take the albums and send pics thru the window to them and they may ask to keep one or two of them. Good luck.

Hi ZAKI,

When u reach the convention center u had to go to cabin where they give u tickets for US embassy and that guy will ask u to show your appointment letter and then give u a USA ticket each ticket cost 30 rupees each so better take change.

Most importantly i want to tell u they dont allow u to take the bag with u i had a black bag with me with all my documents in it but i was told you are not allow to take a bag but put all things in a shopper bag so i say u to put all your documents and everything in a big nice strong shopper bag becoz i knew i got in problem and lucky me i had a good shopper with me so i had to take all the things out and put them in a shopper bag. It became a topsoturvy with me so its better u put all your things in some strong shopper bag and if your wife is going with u she is allowed to take the purse with her.

You can take a picture album with you and MARY is right u can show your picture album by opening the half album and insert in at the bottom of the window.

Morevoer make sure dont lost the ticket becoz u had to show them again n again until u dont come back from embassy back to convention center. Finally the bus conductor take the ticket from u when u going back from embassy to convention center.

Last but not the least had a pen with u as u had to fill a parents information form in which they ask your parents name their date of birth and also your height so remember this too.

WISH U BEST OF LUCK FOR A INTERVIEW AND THEN KEEP US UPDATE.

Thanks Dear for great tips. I have a problem at the moment that i did not receive appointment letter for 29th march interview date. I have only previous letter that was 26th April interview date and only 1 day left i don't know what should i do i am continuously calling US embassy and also i sent email to them but nothing happened so for.

If i did not receive letter tomorrow can i show them on interview day my previous letter and ask them to confirm in embassy as i did not receive any letter from them.

Mary is right, it is 90 days not 6 months. Also it is better to wait few extra days and file 85-90 days before.

HI ZAKI,

It would have been better the day u got a call from embassy that your interview date had been changed you better ask them please send me email also plus the appointment letter of that interview date. I have been emailing embassy but they had been replying me so try to send them email and also call them. In calls i had very tough time very hardly i got someone replying otherwise it keep ringing so try your best that u should get appointment letter of your interview date.

To tell you that first thing that when u had to take your US ticket they will ask you to show the appointment letter and i m not sure that if they see that your appointment date is in april they wont give u the ticket and if u dont get the ticket u cant sit in the bus so it is imperative that u had appointment in black and white with 20, MARCH 2007.

Zaki u should have ask that person who told u that your appointment date is changed that u need in writing becoz the security checking is very strict and they wont allow you to go to embassy if u dont have the appointment date or the email from the embassy showing that your appointment date had been changed.

Only thing that is left that u can take a chance and tell them that the embassy had changed your appointment date but they will definately ask u the proof of that which u dont have right now the best u can do that ask them to reply u in email that ur appointment date had been changed from april to march atleast u had something to show in writing.

I know it quite confusing for you but keep in touch with them so they can response u.

I wish u best of luck again.

Hello everyone! I was looking at this forum for answers to some of my questions. OK - here is my dilemma ... I applied for my fiance on September 28th ... everything went very smoothly (more smoothly that I expected) and my fiancé had his interview yesterday. In the interview, he was required to give fingerprints. After that was done, he was interviewed by a nice white guy. He asked my fiance some basic questions, like whats my name, wat do I do ... if we got married or just engaged and simple stuff like that. He was nice and even joked a lil with my fiance. At the end of the interview ... he congratulated my fiance and told him that he has been approved for a visa, but that he has to leave his passport with them and they were gonna do some administrative process which usually take anywhere between 2 - 4 months. But he said that they will try to be efficient and would probably get his processing done in a month or 2. he was given a pink slip which he is supposed to show the Amex ppl to his passport.

When he told he that yesterday ... i was very happy that all is well and done. And this morning I started to look through the internet to see if anyone else have had a similar experience and then I landed on this site and my depression grew. Is it true that it mite take a year or MORE? This is crazy. I thought that all this processing is taken care of BEFORE the interview.

Can anyone please help me? Has anyone had an experience similar to mine? if yes ... wat was the outcome? I very anxious rite now. Does it take very long for everyone? or are there ppl out there with a better experience. Thank! Waiting for a reply ...

Hi Desperado,

I want to ask you that your fiance got a white paper also in which it is written you are put under administrative process. I was also told by the consulor officer that they need to do background checking and they also give me a pink slip staple with a list of american express offices and circling around the lahore office that keep in contact and it may take month or months. Do response me that your fiance also got that letter of administrative processing

thanks

So Ghattiya, Nair1 and myself also on ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING.

ZAKI

I hope u get the appointment letter by hand keep in touch and wish u good luck again for the interview.
