10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

You should try to submit documents as soon as possible. It’ll take 1.5 to 2 years to get an interview date. 

Ok. But aren't people getting interview dates earlier now, like this year? Because i heard that the processings are getting faster this year but don't know if that is the case with Pakistan also. Correct me if I am wrong.

That is definitely not the case with Pakistan. It is 2 years from when NVC accept the documents for Pakistan specifically. The thread I linked is specifically for those waiting for interviews for Islamabad.

Thanks for providing me the link to the thread. Sorry... I just saw the posts now.... I guess somebody just misguided me. The ISL embassy is still crawling.... the backlog still needs to get resolved for us to get interview. I really hope our interviews come sooner.

Thank you once again.
