EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THEIR WIFE'S INTERVIEW, GOT A COUPLE QUESTIONS?

Did you attend the interview with your wife? If so, did you try to beg them to issue a visa right away instead of mailing it?

How do you know about this AP/AR nonsense? Is there a way of finding out if my wife is expected to be on it ahead of time?

Do you think chances are lower of AR/AP and mailing out the visa if I am there with her for the interview?

Should I plan ahead and book a flight to the US for her so they may give her the visa right away? (one of the forms asked if she has any travel plans)

I suggest for you to be present at the interview.
There is no way of knowing ahead of time who will be put on AP/AR.
Do NOT book the flight now.

I'm assuming you didn't go to the interview with your wife.

I did attend the interview with my wife and it did made it better for her case and herself.
I didnt had to ask them to issue the visa the same day since they were issuing them the same day at that time
Dont know about other airlines but PIA wont book a flight for a Pakistani National without the visa (or atleast what they told me)
