Here is my story!
I reached islamabad two days before just in case the PIA gets delay or other issue which are common here so I reached on monday.
On wednesday I had my interview: I booked metro cab which is safe and left for embassy at around 6:25am because my stay was at merriott which is less than 10 kms to embassy.
At 6:45am I was at embassy entered inside to buy the tickets for shuttle; there I saw a big que and thought should have come much earlier than 6am, fortunately everything for me was so quick, like ALLAH sent some angel to help me. Anyways I bought the shuttle tickets and then deposit my cell phone in a counter outside the shuttle services room, again went inside to be in a que for security check and to sit inside the shuttle, shuttle starts and took around 15 mins to reach at embassy exactly.
at 7:20 am I was called for finger printing of 8 fingers and 2 thumbs from there they asked me to go to window 7 in another room for the passport submission there I saw a pakistani guy asking for some basic details like phone number and amex address etc.
Then waiting for the interview and in the mean time I was just reciting ayate karima because I was so nervous and praying ALLAH to help me in every moment. I was called at about 8:15am for the counter no.2 and just praying not to get the black lady there but when I saw the black lady in counter 2, it reminds me of all the interview rejections here in this forum.
Interview question after oath:
who is sponsoring you? I said my hubby
How long have you been married? I said 11 months exacly after 22 days I will be having my first wedding anniversary then she smiled and asked again how many days, I said 22 days
What does your husband do? I said he work for hospital

How long have your parents know them? I said 11 years almost
What was the first gift you got? I said on valentines it was a surprise because he doesnt beleive on surprises still he sent. Then she said what gift mam, I said bear, heart pillow, some chocs and red roses
why do you love him now? I said he cares for me alot
Then she asked about me, where do I work, I said in .....company (which is a No. 1 US pharmaceuticals)
then she said congratulations mam, you will get your passport soon, I asked I wanna book my tickets, how many days would you take she said 10 days but do not book now, wait for your pasport first ..
but that lady surprised me, I got my passport returned in Karachi in just 24 hours but unfortunately I was in islamabd so will be going to amex tom to clecct it.
it was an awsum interview.
