Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[kim-786 0]

Hello all!

I will be very thankful if anyone can answer this. I just recived the AOS bill from NVC. My question is can I pay the AOS bill and IV Visa Bill(which they will mail me later) through US Postal Service's Money Order. The bill says I can pay thorugh the Money order, but it also says from the US bank(confusing). I think they are talking about the cashier's check and NOT the Money order. Thank you in advance and good luck to all!! Regards, kim

Anyone else has an interview scheduled for October 4th? Would be happy to meet u in person. LOL.

BTW, what time should I get there at the convention center? I think that is where u purchase the token for the bus ride. Am I correct?

Once you arrive at the actual Embassy and go inside...........is it on a first come first serve basis...........or do they go according to your name, appointment time, etc?

Thanks in advance.

Kim, I paid it with a money order that I got from a bank. When they say US Bank...........they mean drawn on U.S. Funds.

Zaki, that's a pretty weird situation ... I don't know if banks have access to SS database. If I were you, I would try going to another bank .... or open a joint account with your spouse.

Dear VJ Members,

I enter in USA on 29th July and now i have my GC and Social security number. Today i went to a bank to open my account but a lady there told me that your social security number not yet listed in banking system. What is the meaning of not in banking system ?? She told me to come back after 2 weeks. I am now working receive my first check from my company so from where i can cash that check ???

Thanks and looking some help.

Zaki

hi jaxguy!

I think the only control we have over this situation is at NVC level( I mean using the James shortcut). Other than that, realistically, I do not see any hope that the situation will get better in Islamabad considering the the current events in the country. Oh, Yes, there is going to be elections

The worst part is that if someone misses that interview due to family emergency, they may have to wait wait again for couple of months. I really want to know what is embassy's policy on this.

Hope they recieve your wife's petition soon!! Best of luck to you!!! and all !!!

I hope elections will be peaceful there. Anything we can do at the State Dept. level or write to US Ambassdor in Pak?

My wife's case (electronic data) got there on Tuesday. I am hoping she will get packet 3.5 next week.

Thanks for your well wishes

We can definitely write to the ambassador; however, I do not think they are going to reduce this waiting time. The problem, as you mentioned, is that they do not have enough staff and they also have to take other interviews, I mean Visit and Student visas. Let's hope and see what happens!! By the way, can you tell me how did you find out that they received your wife's case (Electronic data). Did you find out through NVC system or emailing them in Islamabad!! Good luck again. Regards, kim

I sent email to ISB embassy and they replied back that only electronic file has been received (last week). I have sent them another email yesterday, asking them to confirm receipt of paper (physical) file.

You can send money order from US Post Office, Western Union, or Cashier's Check from a US Bank.

I used money order from Western Union.

Good Luck

Our case transferred to ISB (both electronic and physical file) on 8/29/07 as per call to NVC today. ISB said today they haven't received the physical file yet. How long it takes to acknowledge receipt of physical file by ISB?

Need some help, silly question. I am filing out the paper work for AOS, and I am confused how do I know what is the visa number on the K-3 visa stamp? is it the control number? and what is I-94 number, is it the one officer writes or the departure number? Thanks.

I have another good news to share with all of you, my cousin's husband finally got visa in his hand today after being on AP for 16 months.
