Interview question

My husband went to his interview alone and I'm 8 years older than him, also married before to a different pakistani. We had no problems... it really depends on your case and the officer... no 2 cases are alike...

Islamabad Embassy Questions

Hi everyone,

I am the USC and have petitioned for my wife. We are still a long ways away from an interview, but I would like to plan a trip to visit my wife around the time of the interview, and hopefully bring her back with me. Due to work reasons, I will only have 2-3 weeks to spend. Therefore, I have the following questions:

- Assuming visa is approved and there is no AP, how long does it take to get the stamped passport in hand? Do you get it back on the spot, or do you have to wait? Does it vary by case?
- What impact, if any, does a petitioner's presence at the embassy have? Is the petitioner allowed to be present at the interview?

Thanks!

Islamabad Embassy Questions

Your passport will come through the American Express courier within 8 - 10 days, if the visa is approved. Most people get their passport back within the allotted time, but there can be delays.

For your other questions, I am unsure if you would be allowed inside, but generally it is a good idea to be present at the time of the beneficiary's interview, as it speaks for you two having a valid relationship. If you are allowed inside to be with her at the interview however, be ready to answer the CO's questions. He may very well ask you some.

Lost marriage cert

You need to contact the Nikah Registrar where your marriage took place. They will issue you a certified copy of your Nikah Nama. You may also contact any NADRA office and get a certified copy of your Marriage Registration Certificate.

Does anyone know.. what to do in this case ??

My husband's passport issued in Jan, 2008 and within 6 months of time.. in that case i only have to submit passport office PC. i am going to submit only Passport office PCC with the DS-230. In that time frame, my case is completed here and transfered to Mumbai consulate. But if the interview is scheuduled after the 6 months issued time is over, than i need to submit the local PCC.

Now, it is ok for him to submit the local PCC at the time of the interview if they ask for that.. ?? or i have to submit to NVC first??

I haven't had to deal with this issue but I would advise you to get the local PCC now and submit it to NVC even if they don't request it. Get two originals that way you can take an original with you to the interview.

You could also e-mail mumbai consulate and wait for their response. You can then take a printout of the e-mail with you to the interview.
The local PCC is much easier to get so I think it may be worth while to just get it instead of relying on someone else's information.

desiboy2k4,

Yesterday, i spoke with NVC live operator regarding this issue, they mentioned it will be ok for him to submit local PCC at the time of interview. My husband has already applied for local PCC, but you know na, Police officals in gujarat, how they work.. told it will take around 10 days before you can get.. Also, my husband has given (Rs500) to start the process.. which doesn't need any fees to start with the process.. I can wait to get the local PCC to submit with DS-230, the time constrant is too big to wait now.. i don't want to wait and i can mail the DS-230 now..since i will have all the required documents next week.. other wise have a wait another one week or so to get the local PCC.

Plus NVC will take time to enter the forms into the system.. It is just more time to wait..since you waiting so long for this now..

If that's what NVC told you then I guess you can follow their advice.

You should also create a timeline. Click on "My Timeline" right above the "My Photos" on the left of your post. Or I think you can click here. This will let us know where you are in the whole process.

Hello desiboy2k4,

i read your last post. In that you mentioned about your wife trying to get PCC in Ahmedabad. later i read your time line too and .. you submitted your DS-230 and the case is complete too.. Now can you tell me.. how was your wife able to get the PCC in ahmedabad. Also.. did your wife submit Passport office PC as well or not.. My husband is trying to get a passport PC in Ahmedabad, trust me.. they are giving him a hard time too..

Can you tell me.. what documents were given and how long did it took for her to get that..?? Please let me know..

Thank you

They told my wife the same thing that she needs a call letter.

The sample letter didn't work for me. What did work for me was the DS-230 cover letter. Even though they kept asking for interview letter, when we showed them the DS-230 cover letter they immediately said "yep that's the letter we need" go figure!

It took about 4 working days to get the passport. The passport PCC comes with two originals. One you need to send to NVC with the DS-230 and the second beneficiary keeps it for the interview.

Hello,

Thanks guys for the reply on this question.. when you said.. DS-230 cover letter.. you mean to say "the cover sheet with the barcode that you get after the IV fee bill paid.. Did you had to fill up an application for the PCC and what is the fee ??

Thank You so much

Yes, that's the letter. And yes you need to fill out an application and the cost is 300 rupees.

Anyone have any experience in contacting US Embassy in Islamabad. My in laws gave interview a about 2 month or so ago and were told that they would get something later after they have finished reviewing. Haven't heard anything and it has been a few months now.

I tried their email form on the website and that didn't yield any response. Does anyone know how to contact them via phone and if that would help.

Someone with this experience in the past can be a great help. Thanks.

We had an interview for our f2a visa on Feb 8th, they took our passports, gave us back our original paper work back and gave us tokens and yet we have been waiting for our passports since then. It has been more than 70 days, and still no news. I tried calling/emailing US embassy in Islamabad many times but no reply. I called the DOS in US and they give us the same response....YES THE AP. It's still pending. U can reach out to DOS at 202-663-1225 ( option 1 and then option 0) and find out more about your in laws case.

Hi there..we are coming up on our 6mos as well, May 8th will be our 6mos, it's interesting that you mentioned the name check process...my husband is from ethiopia and so I'm wondering if that's what they are checking on? I'm a USC and my husband is the beneficiary, I've called our local congressman and his aid explained to us that the adjudication officer has our case and its just a matter of getting to ours, she called then informed me what the officer told her, so we are waiting and hoping to get an answer soon!! good luck to you on your wait for NOA2, RBM

No, Ziatarik is asking about his visa. He already went through with all CSC, NVC, and currently his name is under FBI name check process.

In your particular case, you just need to call CSC and create a service request about your petition. If it does not work for you then you may ask your congressman or senator to look into your matter.

Yes, I am currently waiting. I hope I will get NOA2. God Willing.

You may ask your petitioner to contact senator/congressman. It will either push your case or inform you the reason of delay. I think ISL embassy takes 6 month for whole name check process but it is not restricted to 6 month. Many cases take longer time and it depends on the frequent visits to foreign country(make name check process lengthy ), so there is no solid answer of your question. Posted Image

K1-VISA (AFghanistan)

We are at the same stage as you in Kabul. Have your fiance' make a medical appointment asap. This is what the Embassy told us. We have not received our packet yet and they told us that the interviews for May are filled. I am anticipating a interview date set for either june or july. Our petition has been at the Embassy for a couple months now. So, be patient and email them if you have questions. They have been pretty good about answering me back. I am still unsure about what to expect.

The number 202-663-1225 is to the Visa Center in Washington DC and they are closed on Wednesdays afternoons. So if your wife calls that number, have her wait until tomorrow. They are usually open from 8-5. I just didn't want her to call and have them tell her the office is closed and cause her some confusion.
