Hi! My fiancee received an email regarding te receit of our case at the US embassy in Islamabad today.

Is the embassy not supposed to send me a mail? I was thinking i will receive the packet 3.5 and mail the documents to the embassy.

I haven't received an email either. So, the email asks tosubmit the DS 160 and suit other documents. Should i wait to hear from the embassy or go ahead and provide the documents? Thank you for your response!

The embassy usually contacts the beneficiary regarding Packet 3 and the step required from this point. The embassy phase is for the beneficiary. If the embassy is asking for the DS160 to be completed then I would go ahead and do so.

It asks for the rest of the documents too. Will the embassy send me a mail later asking for documents submission? Also, what kind of mail do they usually send? Electronic?

I've seen petitioners getting the email too. In my case they sent both of us the email. You're now supposed to fill up the form and sent back the required documents. You must proceed further and should not wait for any other email. All the best.

You don't need to go to Islamabad, look for the authorized agent in your city, in my case it was American Express Travel Services in Karachi.

Embassy will schedule the interview itself for your fiancee once they received the requested documents. Fee is going to paid on the interview by your fiancee.

Good luck for your interview!

What city you live in? You can simply TCS them the documents ( I did the same ) they'll then send you an email scheduling your interview and you'll have to pay the fee which is 265 dollars at the time of interview.
