Welcome to the Islamabad, Pakistan - IR1/CR1 Visa Interview Thread

Dear all,

NVC finally scheduled interviews for September 2015 and we couldn't be more happier as our interview is scheduled for 30th September. This is the interview thread for all the interview inquiries, reviews, experiences, questions and answers for Islamabad Embassy. I didn't find any specific thread related to Islamabad embassy so thought it will be a great idea to open up a thread where we can all go and get a valuable information from each other.

Please share your interview dates on this thread, post any question, share your interview experience, medical experience, and any other inquiries related to your interview. Lets help each other out through this hectic process.

Good luck everyone
