Our case was put on expedite request by our congressman, due to a very extreme situation that was almost 4 months ago. We are still waiting. They still put him on AP and told us we have to wait until security checks are done.

Hi!

We have different situation.

1-My wife is very sick n first she sent the expidition request to USCIS they approved it and transfer our case to NVC.

2-Then again she requested for expidition on the behalf of NVC and they also approved it and sent our case directly to USEM islamabad.They even did not receive our DS 230 AND Affidavit of support islamabad embassy reviewed it and they gave me the interview date coz again this time i sent them request of expidition for early interview date and they accepted it.They were going to give me the date of in the end of NOV,08 but they gave me 10 NOV date.

We have life or death's matter so thats y they took it so seriously.

Now you can compare it with ur case.

Best of luck!

I had a death situation too along with great financial debt and legal issues due to this death. Which my congessman requested it and sent them all the proof. And was told the expedite was apprvd too but this was a few days before his interview and we are still waiting. I hope things are different for you. Im not trying to argue or compare im just saying dont get your hopes up cuz after the fact they still put him on AP and told us we have to wait unitl security checks are done that they cannot issue the visa until then.

Good Luck

Hey Revived, Qasim, Aisha, Mary, Mian & others Friends,

Good News is I got done finally with the AP process on 27th October which i found out on Friday by DOS, but till 3rd Monday no one called from Islamabad Embassy so i made a call myself and he told me to submit the passport which i did today. so let see when they give it back to me.

Any idea how long they are taking? Because i have to be there before 5 Dec.

Would like to thank everyone for being a part of this dark hole of mine as not everyone was in there but it felt we are together and that helped me in staying stronger and to believe what i was going through will over soon.

Thank you everyone.

Yes i m going on the CR1 route but inshaAllah will get IR1 coz we have celebrated our 2nd aninversary.No i did not take any privious vaccination or medical reports for the medical coz i had nothing,and its ok if u have nothing.

I cannot tell u exactly which vaccinations would be required but i noticed they gave the similar vaccinations to approx to all.

Congratulations this is wonderful news. In the past once they get the passport back it is usually processed within 2-3 weeks. Please come back and post when you get the visa in hand.

Once case is complete, NVC will schedule your interview date. You can call them once completed and ask them if you have been given a date yet and they will tell you when and what time it is. Even if your case is completed by Nov 15th, it is not neccessary that you will be given a december interview date. The reason for that is because Islamabad has limited capacity. They give NVC the count of how much capacity they have for that month and they schedule based off of that. So, if that gets full once they get to your case, then you have to wait for the second week of the following month to find out when your interview will be for the next month after that. The reason i know this so well is because we went through this same #######. Our case was completed Oct 16th while they were still scheduling interviews for November. But, we were not given a November date because Islambad's capacity was met. Therefore, we had to wait till now to find out our interview for December. Anyways, I hope you can get a December date because I know how much this waiting sucks. But, there is always a good reason behind why Allah does things. So, there must be a good reason why we were given a December date.

Good luck on getting a december interview!!
