Good evening all ,

I am a US citizen and have applied for my fiancé back in Karachi , Pakistan last year in march 2011. After a long wait in December case was finally approved by uscis and 2 weeks later I received the emailed from Islamabad American embassy about a "3.5" package which had bunch of documents bank statements photos etc etc etc . All those were submitted completely by my finance in krachi and sent to Islamabad embassy , yesterday she gets a call to pickup her mail from American express courier service( only official couriers for US embassy)

She basically got the complete package back after 3 weeks of submitting it wnd there is absolutely nothing in that package that requires further documents or any objections , they only sent the documents back . So I am having a delimma if they made copies of it and sent it baxk or what? Originally they never sent her notice in karachi for 3.5 package they emailed saying it's a new system that all new 3.5 packages are sent via email.

Any ideas suggestions of what to do or wait ?

Just to add to this , the supervisor of this courier service told my fiancee that if there are no "yellow" paper which is objection lists, that means you will receive your interview letter in a week , so dont know how true is that ?

Also out of everything embassy kept 2 of her photos n sent 2 back ...

All replys welcome thanks a lot in advance

Like I said in the other post where you asked the same question. NO need to worry. They looked at the docs you sent them but they want them when you go for your interview. Our package was also returned and they only kept the forms and 2 pictures. You will get a letter for interview within 2-3 weeks. We got within a week.

Its strange that they returned the forms too. How long has it been since they returned the package? Btw, I just remembered that our interview letter came with the returned 3.5 package material (which was 5 days after we sent it). If it has been a week (or not), I would call them to see whats going on.

I have yet to find out about how the interview goes. need prayers. I'll keep you posted. :)

I suggest calling them and finding out what's going on. My understanding was that they would've kept the forms and returned the rest. I'm not sure why they would copy the stuff you sent instead of keeping it. When you call, may be they will tell you what you need to do, if there is anything.

we had the exact case, where all documents such as bank statements, etc etc were returned to us. I beleive they were considered irrelevant. However, these doucments were sent back with my fiance's interview letter.

So the bottom line is DONT PANIC... they only took documents which mattered to them and were relevent.. :)

^^^ thank you man!

She didnt get her appointment letter with the return package and only kept her photos , supposedly American express supervisor told her with his "experience from many many years" that she should get a interview letter by next week if there's no objection letter within this package !

So crossing my fingers inshallah hoping all works out good!

Dis you guys got the visa already or your fiancée?

As someone suggested, make a phone call to embassy and inquire. Won't hurt.
