Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[worldcitizen 0]

Did anybody that has traveled to pakistan get any vacinations before going? If so, what were they? I am going to swat in October and my fiance said there is not any mosquitoes around that time so dont worry about malaria. I just want to double check.

just some information if you don't want to take malaria pills----- take vitamin b complex. start taking this 2 weeks before you go and through your time until a week or so after. misquitos do not like the smell of your skin when you are taking this. i did this when i went to malaysia and never saw a misquito the whole time i was there.

Zaki

Since you have a CR1 visa you don't need EAD, you can just apply for you social security card in the bases of the stamp you received at the POE.

EAD is for the non-immigrant visas like K1 and K3

A quick update. My wife and daughter received their visas today and will be flying to US on Friday.

Sufi

My wife and daughter had their interview today. Their interview time was 8AM. The interview went pretty well. She was interviewed on two separate windows and asked several ususal questions regarding how the marriage was arranged, when we got married, where did we get married, what do i do in the US, how much I earn, when and where our daughter was born, how often I have visited her, where have we lived together since our marriage, key dates of her prior visits to US and other place etc.

In the end, she was told that she meets all requirements of immigrant visa and has been approved. The immigration officer returned all her original documents along with receipts for collecting passports from AMEX. The immigration officer told her that she will receive her visa within a week.

I will keep you posted for any further updates.

I would like to thank all of you for your help, suggestion, support and for sharing your experiences. I wish all of you good luck in your immigration process and wish you a speedy and happy reunion with your families.

Thanks,

Sufi
