When they call to have you send them your passport, who do they call? The spouce in the united states or the spouce in pakistan? How do we give them both numbers? DOS says the wife has been issued visa but no response from embassy, could it be the phone number thing?

Don't know how but my gender is set to male. I'm female. :)

7/3/11-married!

8/3/11-Sent I-130

8/5/11-NOA1

8/8/11-touched.

SALAM TO ALL!

I called US embassy n they told me that documents review time can 4 weeks..SO zaid wrote that they answered him 2 weeks.

Is this a joke from US embassy?

they r so slow and after the interview they will take the decision regarding our visa like they will give us visa or they put us on AP.

This all process is a big joke ....... :angry:

Hey guys, I was surfing the internet and came across this website.

http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?bc=6745

This website had this posted:

U.S. Embassy in Pakistan Indefinitely Halted Issuing Visas Effective September 24, 2008 (9/25/2008)

It wont let you read it unless you are a lawyer.

Does anybody know anything about this. Could this had been when the embassy closed down for those two days?

This was from the bombings that were happening in Islamabad back in September. Visa issuance resumed a few days later and persons are getting visa's just alot of AP.

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.
