Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[MaryandMian 1]

I have been living in the UK for the past 5 years and we applied for both K-3 and CR-1. The K3 is going through Islamabad embassy in Pakistan (since we got married in Pakistan) and the CR-1 is going through the London embassy. My case was sent to the London embassy on September 19, 2007 and I am waiting for an interview date from them. Today I got a packet from Islamabad which says that they have scheduled my K3 visa interview for November 20, 2007.

I want to go through with the CR-1 visa because it has more benefits and also I don't have any plans to go to Pakistan any time soon. What should I do now? Should I contact the Islamabad embassy to cancel the K3 or should I keep it as a backup? Would this have any affect on getting an interview date from the London embassy?

Also I read on some timelines that people know when the embassy received their case. How can I find out if the London embassy has received my case or not?

Welcome to the Islamabad forum and will tell you that your case is a little different since you are going thru two different embassies. I will answer your last question of finding out if they have your case their yet. If you have already gotten your NOA 2 and at least one month has passed you can email London and ask for a status update on your case. Give them the case number, type and full name on your case and they will usually repond in a day or two with an update. Good luck.

Welcome back Dude Wala lots of approvals since you were away Islamabad seems to have a fresh breath of life again.

Austinn Pawers nice to see you in the forum and good luck on this being the last of your AP. As far a a purple thing is is half size and does it have numbers on it? If so this is the token you present when you go to the courreir for retrieving your passport back from them. Look at Babybunny post from long ago if you can find it and it shows a copy of her husband's token she posted last year some time.

Faal4anisa I am so happy for you both this is wonderful news so now time to make homecoming arrangements. Good luck on getting to the states soon.

Kim-786 thanks for the warm welcome back and glad to hear that your wife's case is moving along nicely now. Look forward to an update of completed at NVC and then off to Islamabad.

MangoBaby welcome to the Islamabad forum and good luck on your K-1 being scheduled soon. I will tell you that Islamabad is very busy all the time and right now you are coming up on the end of the physical year, the DV, and then holidays too. I can only tell you to have patience and hopefully it will not take another 4 months before your fiance gets an interview. The new ambassador seems to be moving the older cases that are in AR/AP for such a long time and this is good news for all the Pakistani's that have had long waits.

Thanks for the update MaryandMian, yes the purple thing is having a number and there is also a text mentioned "COLLECT PASSPORT", do you have any idea about the cards colors, does color matter ??????? nothing just curious about the decission they are gonna make.....I am expecting a call within a 10 days of time anybody out there got that color of card ???
