Consulate Review: Islamabad, Pakistan Review Topic: Event Description Review Date : July 4, 2015 Embassy Review : My advice in a nutshell: Be prepared for multiple lines (at shuttle station then for shuttle then outside then inside embassy. Be patient, the whole process takes a couple of hours. Bring something to read. That helped me remain calm. Interview is usually straightforward and interview officers are respectful . Be confident. Be honest. Prepare to be asked questions like why you chose this particular person to marry, how you met and what contact you have been in since. That's mostly what they want to know for women. If there are language issues pick the language you can understand the best. Don't pick English if you are not comfortable in it. Also don't be put off if interview officer looks at his screen more than at you. If they don't tell you result of your interview you can ask but always be polite. Good luck to all Rating : Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
