Wife had the interview. They said she will get her passport back next week with the visa.

I'm still a little nervous...can something still go wrong?

good luck to SQTB, or is it SBQT. He has interview on friday for k3. GOOD LUCK to you. I will pray for you.

Congratulations !! Inshallah your wife will get her passport with visa on it.

Could you please ask your wife to just provide us her interview experience it would be great help.

By the way I forgot to tell: I am from Hyderabad, but still my shoni would have to use doctors in Karachi for medical. Are there many in karachi????????? I know only one in clifton.

Goto Aga Khan University Hospital, one of the best hospitals you'll ever goto.

Agha Khan hospital one of the best hospital is this a joke? Or you belong to that community :D

Lari your husband will be fine once he will get the job. I think it is human nature that he/she needs some time in order to adjust in a new place. America for him is totally different land besides at this point of time he is jobless as well, which is also one of main reason of getting depress. Anyway hope for the best.

if finding a job is bringing him down- he could go to someplace for happy hour and hob nob.

surly he could make some good contacts and get a good job someplace.

Actually, i'm not Pakistani therefore I do not live in Karachi. I'm an American who visited Pakistan and went to AKU Hospital when I had an emergency. It was constructed by the Imam of the time, but i'm a shia ismaeli so it's obviously what we believe in and not you guys. And btw, i'm a bit biased but even then I went to 2-3 hospitals and they all had long ### lines and bad service (closer to home) bueore I went to AKU Hospital. Anyways my dad got his stuff done there promptly.
