| Embassy Review : |
We reached at 7 Am at shuttle point as our interview time was 8 Am. Being civilian you can not enter Diplomatic Enclave with your own vehicle. Only option was buying tickets (Pkr. 300/head) from inside shuttle building. But before you go in, you must get rid from all sorts of nu-necessary baggage and even document bags (leather). There is a small hut and they collect your bags etc and give you a receipt for collection on your way back. Then you pass through security checks and you can buy bus tickets upon showing ID's (CNIC or Passport). Before you buy tickets you must handover your mobile phones on a full left corner and get a receipt and keep it safe. Before jumping on bus they do full search for security reasons and then bus journey starts (Almost 20 minutes as US Embassy is on far end in Diplomatic Enclave. Remember one thing keep your bus ticket safe as you must have it on your way back because its a return ticket. After getting off they check your visa interview letter and do search female bags and didnt let my wife carry cosmetics even. After that there is almost 50 meters walk to get in main Embassy building. You see many security guards and then by the door you see your fellow countrymen( who are extremely rude and pretend like bosses) who will check your interview letter and will issue you a token number. Here you observe that timings on your interview letter don't matter much there as you are given a random token number upon arrival and now you will follow the token sequence onward. My wife (Petitioner) was with me and we were called three times. First for Bio-metric, then for documents collection (Medical+Marriage certificate with translation+Birth Certificate) and then after almost 90 minutes for interview purpose. A white gentleman conducted our interview and we both went by the window.
We greeted him and he replied with a smile and asked if I need an interpreter which I refused with thanks. Then he asked my wife about her arrival and her return flight (which was 27th Feb) He smiled and said so you are here to collect him and she smiled and said yes, Then he told my wife gently to wait and then he asked me several questions.
How we met?
In which city marriage happened and date of marriage?
How many people were on our wedding and If I have photographs? (I was going to take out my marriage photograph albums but he said, its fine but surely he was able to see that I came with full preparation, like albums, pile of documents etc)
Asked me to show my Character Certificate of UK and how much time I have spent there and for what purpose?
How many countries I have visited and If I have visited USA before?
Where is States my wife lives and what she does for living?
Then he said you are approved and you should expect your passport within 2 weeks through American Express Courier Service Center. I Said Thanks with a big smile and said, have a good day and he said 'you too' BaBye
This whole process took less than 5 minutes and I got my passport back within 5 days with Visa. |

*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.
