Consulate Review: Islamabad, Pakistan
Review Topic: K1 Visa

| Embassy Review : |
It is a lengthy procedure getting to the shuttle, to embassy and going through the initial counters for submission of original documents like i134, birth certificate etc, then to pay the visa fee. After that I was called in for oath and bio-metrics and then the interview started. CO asked me around 5 or 6 questions as follows:
Q) How long have you known you fiance?
A) Since 2001, we were online friends
Q) When did you meet him in person?
A) I met him in 2014
Q) When was the last time you met him?
A) That's the only time I met him in person, first and last for 2 weeks in UK.
Q) What's the longest you have ever stayed in UK?
A) Around 4 months
Q) What does your fiance do for a living?
A) I answered that.
Q) Why do you want to marry in the US and not in PK?
A) Frankly because I am very concerned for his security here since he is a Caucasian American. We were leaning a bit toward him coming here but then terrorism started happening in Rawalpindi as well. Some 15 terrorists were captured from the housing society that I am living in. Nowadays you can't even be sure about your neighbours so we have been very reluctant about it.
He said fair enough. Then he said I am approving your visa. You will get it in 2 weeks through American Express.
I said, REALLY? I GOT IT? He said Yes. I said OMG I wish THIS (the glass screen) wasn't in between us, I so would have hugged you. He just laughed and said It was lovely meeting you.
This whole process took about 3 1/2 hours. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
