salaama alay kum everyone,

for the past week i have been trying to book a hotel in islamabad for our interview but they are all booked or too expensive. does anyone have any suggestions on what other hotel i can stay at?

thanks

rmash... all you have to do to save money is what I did, which is book a stay at a guest house , there just like the hotels but a much cheaper rate, we paid 200 dollars or slightly more for 10 days , plus they cook your food and bring it to your room and clean your room daily, thay have servants as well that do anything for you , i can give you an name of one if you like, the one I stayed in which was very nice was ....................Islamabad executive house, house no.54 no# 5, f8/3 Islamabad pakistan, tel phone number is 5128563313or cell phone 03335124651. hope this helps you out alot and find that its much cheaper then the hotels are, I havd a lovely time both times I went, we stayed in guest houses both times we went and loved it......inshaAllah you will find its good.

I reserved a room at the envoy continental for 4000 rupees a night, I think this is a perfect hotel i read the reviews and it seemed nice, and its not too far from the embassy.

For a K-3 visa, what type of questions will they be asking my wife?

Will they allow me to be in the room as they interview her?

thanks for the help

Alhumdulillah, wife got visa today. Details are below:

Timings:

5:40 Arrived at parking lot (there were only 10 people in line)

6:50 Ticktet sales for bus to the embassy started and ticket was purchased

7:00 Bus left to the embassy

8:50 A Paki lady interviewed

2:15 An American laday interviewed

Questions asked:

When did you first meet your husband?

Was this an arranged marriage?

Who arranged the marriage?

What does your husband do for living?

Where does he work (company)?

Do you have any other relatives in the US?

Who else live with your husband?

How many times has your husband visited you in in PK?

Do you have wedding pictures?

Who is this (pointed out to a few people in the pictures)?

After the pictures she said, congratulations, welcome to the US

My wife took emails and a few phone bills but nothing else was asked by the Paki or by American lady other than pictures. Both ladies were pretty nice and even joked around and laughed which was enough to relief wife's stress.

They kept the passport and said American Express will call to pick up the passport. No brown bag was given either.

For those, who want to use the Shortcuts, there is nothing wrong using those as you are providing them the same information as they request, but you have to be careful and read the instructions several times before using it. If you are still have questions after reading, then don't use them as there are chances that you would make mistake. I used shortcuts and I am glad that I did and made my process faster. For telephone bill and emails, I have noticed from a few previous interviews that they don't ask for the telephone bill or emails anymore as they know more and more people are chatting and using calling cards so if you don't have them, don't worry.

Thanks to those who helped and good luck to rest of the people here waiting.
