The NVC will give set up your interview date, call them and ask them about it.

"looking at the situation of pak. i dont know if i will ever be able to go to us"

Why are you saying this?

I still haven't got my packet 3.5. My file reached the Embassy on the 20th and today is the 1st. Sent an email to Embassy & they replied saying they sent out the packet dated 25th. I am not panicking yet but I am starting to get worried. Do you guys know what Courier Embassy use for K1 & could u find the number or n email add so I can contact em. Thanks in advance.

They use Pakistan Post to send out the Packet 3.5. You should email them to send it out again in case it has been lost.

It is an exceptionally bad idea to book your flight, especially that soon. It usually takes at the very least a week to get the passport after the interview. Likewise, there is no guarantee of getting the visa approved at the interview without AP. I advise you book flights once the visa is in hand.

GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!! i got my interview date!!!! its on the 6th of jan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

am booking my flight on the 10th or 11th of jan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i cant believe it!!!!!!!!

am so excited

Shakira,

Nobody gets their visa on the same day anymore. They keep your passport and send it to you via AMEX within 10-15 BUSINESS DAYS. Zidane was interviewed ten days ago, I was interviewed a week ago and neither one has received the passport back yet. We have made reservations for the 20th of December inshAllah but won't buy the tickets until the visa is in our hand inshAllah. I suggest you do the same.

Good luck with everything else!
