VISA CLASS:    F31
YOUR CASE IS CURRENTLY AT:    NVC
FOREIGN STATE OF CHARGEABILITY:    PAKISTAN
INTERVIEW LOCATION:    ISLAMABAD
PRIORITY DATE:    2006

 

_____________________________________________________

 

I've been living with my family in Saudi Arabia as an expatriate since ~2004 and have Iqama, School Fees, Rents/Bills, etc. to prove the fact.

 

Should I request NVC to move my Interview location from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia? Is it possible? Is it worth it or would it create more issues?

 

We are currently in the process of getting DQ (Form 1099, and W-2 left).

 

I've heard the wait for Islamabad, Pakistan is around 2 years long while the wait in Saudi Arabia is 1 year long but am concerned about the No. of Visas given in Saudi Arabia vs Pakistan and all other things like if I'm even applicable for shifting the location.

 

Any advice?

If you are resident in Saudi then you can request a consular transfer. 

 

Why has it taken you so long to get DQ'ed when your PD has been current for many years?
