I doubt the embassy will be open for next couple of days. The rallies have just started reaching Islamabad today and God only knows when things will settle. I would call up the embassy first to see if they're open and conducting interviews.

Embassy is opened ad trust me we took chance and lot of ppl did not came they tought it was closed .but it as opened and embassy staff was very very helpful and also they praised us for coming to embassy. They said untill there is announcment on website consider embassy as opened. Just make sure leave 5:00 am to reach there as it takes 1.5 hours to reach to embassy

Khan are you immigrant or visit?

My interview was on aug 18 and due to isl political situation embassy inform us that interview has been canceled , Does some one has any idea how long it will take to reschedule ?

Fmous if you arecin ISL then call them and ask them and rechedule it ASAP. As due to this situation there are very less people in embassy for interview..

Also keep in mind that staff arives at 8:30 am
