Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[monty001 0]

Hello everyone,

So NVC has my case now and they gave me the case number. A while back I heard that NVC was now setting interview dates for Islamabad. Is that the case now? So if NVC does set the interview dates now, then I should get a letter from them in the mail right? If that isn't the case, then the Islamabad Embassy will mail my fiancee the packet 3 and that'll have the date, right?

Thanks in advance.

For K1 visa, ISL embassy schedule the interview. After the case will be sent to ISL, they will issue your fiancee a packet 3. After your fiance is done mailing the packet 3, ISL will send the Packet 4 with the appointment date. So Packet 4 has an appointment date. Good Luck.

Your presence may support her and I recommend it but keep in mind that CO may ask you couple of questions, so be prepared. In rare instances reported at some forums , some Consular Officers have conducted separate interviews with both petitioner and beneficiary and a joint interview in order to determine the validity of relationship.

Re: Wife's Medical in Islamabad

Hello All!

I just wanted to share the news with you so if anyone is still going for medical. My wife had her medical yesterday which went very well. She was there at 9am and was given forms to fill which she handed back to them by 9:15am. She had a blood test, physical done by a lady doctor in which they asked basica questions like if you have any problem such as heart disease, etc.

She was out of there in two hours by 11:15. They were easy with the questions and very polite. good luck to all who are scheduled for the medical.

Thanks

MnM,

I would start calling the NVC office a week after your NOA2 date. Once they have the case they will assign a case number, which you can use to see if they have forwarded the case to the embassy yet. I talked to a guy at NVC and he said that the cases don't stay there very long.

Ali786,

Congrats on the medical. Was the doctor your wife went to on the list the embassy sent in packet 3? Seems like she had a good experience there. I would probably suggest the same doctor to my fiancee.

Hello Everyone!!!

I've got some good news!! We have FINALLY been cleared out of AP after 4 months!!! We mailed her passport to the Embassy yesterday, July 29! :-)

Am very very excited!!! They however told us it will take from 2 to 4wks to receive the visa.

I am now going to schedule her flight for September on PIA direct.

Does anyone know the best way to schedule the flight on PIA from Lahore to JFK? Also, is it cheaper to book the flight here in the US or in Pakistan?

Thanks in advance for your help! Goodluck to everyone on AP and for those of you waiting for interviews!!!

I need PIA because I want a direct flight from Lahore to JFK. Etihad/Emirates don't travel direct, you have to switch planes. But thanks for your help.

Hi' Gohar

I wanted to ask you if you sponsored your wife or fiancee. Plus when they did the AP was it for you as a petitioner or the beneficiary. I assume its the petitioner if they send the case to washington.

Is there a pattern who goes on AP like mostly men or both men and women and for petitioner who are citizens or green card holders sponsoring their spouse.

Hey Ali,

I think you are getting the Marriage/Fiancee Visa confused with Family Visa's.

The AP is always for the person in Pakistan (beneficiary). The Applicant is approved before the case ever makes it to the Isl. Embassy from my understandings. In my case at least, the AP was for my Fiancee in pakistan and not me.

I had to complete for I-134 (Affidavit of Support). I make enough money so i was able to "Sponsor" my fiancee.
