Asia: South	Called DOS	My fiance has been on AP for 11 months now, ourcase has been updating regularly. I called DOS today to get an update, and they told me that the embassy is requesting for a New Medical, pictures and DS260. I told her we have not gotten any e-mails or calls, she said it stated how they contacted him but didnt say the mode of contact, but that the embassy is requesting for fresh documents was really good news. To wait for the letter and then do his medical. We have not gotten any emails, or calls. Can he still go and have his physical done without waiting for this letter?   I would wait for the letter via DHL I don't know how it's sent in Pakistan.My husband was on AP almost 9 months and they did try calling him.He missed the call and I called DOS and they told me renew medical and police send back with passport.I wrote the embassy and they confirmed and said they sent out a letter via DHL.Go ahead and send an email to the CO in Pakistan and wait the letter.

Asia: South	I m a us citizen and going Pakistan but my pakistani passport is still valid .do I still need a pakistani visa and not?	If you use/show USA passport when entering pakistan - you will need a visa if you use/show Pakistan passport when entering pakistan - you will not need a visa   Please confirm this above post, it is my thinking as well that this is correct.	kabhatti	Male	Pakistan	12/26/2013 9:39
Asia: South	Who Can I Call?	What paperwork is mandatory should be in the letter you received. Additionally you can check page 3 and 5 on http://travel.state..../info_3731.html, however read them all. Would this work as holy grail? Nope and rest will be on you. Not sure if USCIS or embassy work give anything better. At the end you will realize the suggestions would help you to make the right choice for yourself. Good luck	hellraiser	Male	Bangladesh	12/16/2013 12:35
