Consulate Review: Islamabad, Pakistan Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 8, 2016 Embassy Review : ALH my wife's visa is approved. Now i am waiting for the phone call for passport pick up. At this point, I would like to Thank VJ platform for making it easy for people like me going through the immigration process. Interview Time was 7:00 A.M Below is the timeline of the interview day. 1. Arrived at US Consulate at 5:20A.M. 2. Gate did not open till 6:15 A.M. 3. Went inside waited in line for shuttle ticket. Note: you have to check your phone(electronics) at the window to far left. DO NOT bring any bags/case. 4. 6:40ish got the shuttle ticket and went through another metal detector. 5. Arrived at US embassy after 15-20 mins of shuttle ride. 6. As soon you enter the building you will get the token and wait till for your turn. 7. We were called to the window three time. First, finger prints. Second, documents collection. Third, Interview. 8. We were out of the embassy little before 10:00 A.M. Everything went well at the embassy. I would suggest everyone to eat before you go because there is not much options for food. Be patient! Please do not try to cut the person front of you. I was with my wife through out the process at the embassy. When she was called for the interview. I was allowed to stand next to her during the interview but, was told not to answer any questions for my wife. This gentleman asked my wife the following questions. Who is calling you? Where is he right now? What does he do for living? How did you guys meet? How long have your husband been living in USA? What is your profession in Pakistan? What is your School name? After asking these question her visa was approved. We were told that we will receive the passport in two weeks. Make sure to ask questions if you're unsure. After the interview i ask him to verify the number they will call once the passport is ready for pick up. Double check the location they will send the passport to. (They will give you the list of location to choose from at the window). Interview went smooth. Be patient! Make eye contact! Be confident! Rating : Very Good
