NVC just informed me on the phone that they have sent my case to Islamabad embassy. They gave me no further information except for my new case no. Does this mean I need to submit all the financial support documents etc of my fiance to the embassy when I go for interview?

You'll get an email from the embassy with instructions on what to do next. Collect the documents now. Islamabad will ask you to send them in before the interview.

My advice, make copies of the financial documents and have them with you for the interview. My fiancé had some issues with these documents at the time of the interview. He mailed them in but the interview officer said they were not in our file so he had the copies with him and that helped that we didn't have to send in more information.

Can you also please tell me if I need to make payments for visa fee etc in advance or do I have to do it at the embassy? Also do I have to send the documents to ISB embassy through Gerry's etc?

They ask for the visa fee at the embassy when you go for the interview. You can pay is USD or rupees just as long as it is some form of cash. No check or card or anything like that.

I don't know what Gerry's is but my fiancé used American Express. I think they prefer that and the people there are used to sending documents to the embassy so they will make sure the papers get sent there properly. Also the embassy will use this company to send you the interview letter. It won't come to your home. American Express will call you to come pick it up.
