Hafiz the field investigations are from the embassy in Pakistan. They come and verify your information, talk to family, friends, neighbors, persons that attended your wedding, jobs.

Know the feeling of the heart and saw. :crying: Been long time since I saw my husband and hopefully we will be reunited before too long.

Imran

Go to www.dhl.com

Track by reference number

Use I-730 for the ref number

Put in the date you want to start tracking up to the current date. It will show all diplomatic pouches that are sent from the USA to all consulates and embassies.

Good luck,

Mary

Your welcome and to answer your question I sure wish I could travel and see Ishteaq. My oldest is having major surgery again on June 1st so I cannot. I am praying our AP is finished and he is here soon.
