IV Processing Fee - US $400.00 or Pakistani Rupee equivalent ($355 application processing + $45 worldwide security surcharge)

I have already paid my 400$ immigrant visa fee at NVC. And for finger print fee i emailed to US embassy islamabad and they replied me this,

Dear Sir/Madam,

ok so my case at nvcwill be completed in a week or two since we have sent the entire package at once.

can anyone gimme an idea on how i can get the interview date? over the phone? and will i be able to get the interview date for dec?

it will be done by 15th of nov for sure

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!!

yo!!1 found out last time that my case got completed at nvc on the 4th of nov already:)

Yes, our interview is set for Dec 30th - my husbands. I dont know if that means it is full or not. But by your recent post i saw that you didnt get a december date, i guess that meant it is now full. I am soo sorry but i know exactly how that feels. Our case was complete on Oct 16th and they were still scheduling for November but we didnt get it b/c it was full. But dont worry, you will get a January date for sure. It just sucks because you will have to wait till first/second week of December to find out when it is in January.

Good Luck!

should ideally take 2 weeks but culd be a bit longer...

i assume you r askin' about how long does ISL takes to stamp the visa after the benfeciary submits his/her passport.

Yesterday is history, Tomorrow's a mystery. Today is a gift; that'swhy they call it "the present".

I believe Revived answered your question but could you please fill out your timeline? Usually people are able to answer better if they know the timeline and history behind the case. If you dont mind but i think it would be realy helpful to all ofus if you share a little about your case. Like if you were put on AP? Or did you they keep your passport at the interview? Lots of people lately have been put on AP lately and there are alot that have interview coming up, so your experience would be helpful to all of us. good luck on getting your passport back soon!

thanks!!!

Hey guys, thanks for the replies!! Well am not really a virtual person so don't know how to do the timeline or where to go but i'll give you a brief summary right here :)

First thing first, I'm waiting on my sis-in law not husband, thank God LOL.

*So around oct 11, 2007 we filed for 3 members of our family a marrige visa. (so three diff applications)

*March, 2008 is when they notified us and said all three were approved

*I don't know about the process in between, but yada yada all three were granted their interviews in sept 2008.

*Two members got their visas the day of the interview (the passport was kept and a week later mailed to them)

*one sad member :( was put on AP and according to DOS office she was granted her visa on the Oct 14th.

*On oct 28th bro in law dropped off her passport at the ISL office and was told that it would be mailed back w/in a week.

*it's been a week and no response, now i'm wondering if dropping off the passport rather than waiting for the phone call would affect the time? He spoke to the people and they seemed fine with taking it. But I'm worried I hope they don't lose it.

I hope that helps many of you. And good luck to all those waiting on Ap and interviews. My prayers are with you :)

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