Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[kim-786 0]

I am happy to announce that by the grace of Allah, my wifes K3 was approved on Sept 11th.

She should be receiving her passport by courier in 7-10 days. Sorry for the late posting, could not get to a computer as I was present with my wife at the interview. There must have been about 10 K3 girls present, of which I am personally aware that 5 were approved on that day. We were there at 7:45am

and got out by 2:00pm. The questions were basic, who petiotioned, whats his name, yada, yada. I'll write a more detailed review as I have time. My Thanks to all VJ folks here, its been a journey. Wishing all folks the best and patience.

waiting Congratulations!! can you tell us if your wife got the visa the same day that she had an interview?? or were you put on AP? Best of luck in teh AOS process in the US. Regards, kim

What kinda things can I go ahead and prepare here on my end that she will need?

Thanks a lot for your help Kim!!!

Things like your pictures with her, proof of phone bills that you were calling her, greeting cards, emails, log of online chat, etc etc

The pictures with her -- I sent these in with the original application! All pictures that I have with her from our engagement ceremony, to the few days I was there afterwards.

Proof of Phone Bills -- I sent in what I had upto my submission time with my originigal application. I have been keeping all records since then as well, I have our history logs from Skype convo's to our E-mails in GMAIL also. I sent what i had with at the time with the original application as well!!

does anyone know if you can get anything official or somewhat official or anything on Skype history?? I have been doing screen shots of the history and just printing those out! not very professional, but only thing I could think of. Can you easily print the history from Skype??

Thanks Kim! your tons of help!!!!

Good news Jaxguy!! Best of luck to you!! Can you tell us how did she receive the Packet (I mean through courier or regular mail). I hate this waiting time too. I wish we could do something to make this process faster. Six months is outrageous.

Through Courier, TCS. They deliver it to your home address and someone has to sign for it.

Tell me about wait buddy......... I have been away from my family for 4 1/2 years. Not to mention the financial burden, 2 / 3 trips a years to Pakistan can put you in. ISB embassy got to be the worst in the whole world. God help us all.

ASA All,

Does anyone knows which process is faster once it reach islamabad embassy from NVC. Is it K3 or Cr1?? Mine I130 approved a month ago and still no approval for I129 yet!

Appreciate any input

I wrote the embassy and my husband got an Interview for next week. They told me he has to contact and pick up the letter from courier service. What courier service is that? And also what does he need to bring with him there to the interview? He has submitted all documents through Packet 3.5 and I submitted all documents when it was in the NVC stages. Does he just have to bring medical report and proof of our relation? Also what time should he be in Islamabad? Where do you actually go in order to get into the embassy? Someone please advise on their experience.
