:wacko: I am a U.S. Citizen and have submitted all the necessary forms for I-130 for my wife. The case was completed here in the U.S. and then forwarded on to the Embassy in Islamabad. The Embassy in Islamabad sent my wife a packet which requested certain documents. She then promptly submitted those documents through an agent (this was instructed by the Embassy). The agent forwarded the documents to the Embassy. After a week goes by, my wife decides to call the Embassy, only to find out her interview has been set for February 15, 2008, thats 6 months away. Any idea why this is? I have read other posts and timelines and its usually a month or so. We tried asking the Embassy and all they say is thats the only availability they have. Can anyone please shed some light. Thanks. Edited by Samad

Samad, it's normal for the embassy to schedule interviews after 3-5 months. K-3 applicants are generally scheduled on the lower end of the spectrum (3 months or so), IR/CR ones are scheduled on the later end of the time line (4-5 months). I haven't seen a whole lot of cases where the interview was scheduled earlier than that. My wife's interview was scheduled in early July for the for very end of November. Generally embassy will not reschedule to an earlier date (unless there is an acute emergency).
