Hi,
My two infant sons' cases were sent from NVC to US embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan on March 08, 2007. Wondering how long will it take to get it to the embassy from NVC? Anybody has similar experience?
I am quite frustrated with this whole damn visa process.
Full Version: Timeline from NVC approved case to Islamabad Embassy
Cases are usually at the consulate/embassy within one week from the date they leave the NVC here in the states. Cases that ship out on Friday are usually in transit and sit in one country on late Saturday or Sunday and then resume their journey. Once the cases are delivered to the consulate/embassy they have to matched up to the the electronic files and then entered into the system. Once that occurs they will be able to give you information on your case status. Good luck.

Good luck for a speedy rest of the process

That no one can say!
I can only say from my own experience: Chennai, India received my case from NVC on 26 Feb and I was in the system by 28 Feb. Quite impressive, maybe (hopefully!) Islamabad is similiar!
