@annoyedwaiting Congratulation brother , kindly can you tell me when you submitted the missing documents to Embassy? and how many updates in your case? Thanks

Honestly, I am not sure. The case would get updated whenever we sent an inquiry. After a while we did not bother.

Guys,

Happy to announce we got our visa last week of September. We were stuck with a document review after interview in end of June. This has been a long and frustrating journey. I wish everyone good luck and please keep this forum updated since many people have their eyes on this.

PD March 2017 F2A

Issued Sept 2019

Any recent updates from ISB embassy. We have been under AP since June 28 with no updates. Uploaded documents long back.

Hi,

This topic might be redundant but has anyone from July 2019 interviewed in Pakistan been issued visa yet. We have been placed under administrative processing for a missing document.  The case updated a few times and they confirmed that they have received the documents. We only got case refused on documentation incomplete box checked.

My PD is June 12 2017, and I received the Approval Letter from USCIS on March 29 2019. It's been almost 2 months now and I'm still waiting to hear from the NVC.

 

Their phone lines are always busy with a pre-recorded message to try again. Any ideas on what I can do next?

Hey you can contact the online via email. Be advised that they do no have ANY information about your interview schedule. This year has been worse for scheduling interviews. I waited for about 2 months 10 days after my case was documentary qualified.

When I originally went to our first interview we registered there before the interview.  Using the above link is new I only heard people recently using it and they have had lots of questions.  It's rather confusing as this log in is typically used for making an appointment.  Perhaps someone who has had an interview recently can chime in.  

Thanks man, I registered using the same website. Its finicky but it gave me the confirmation & location where I can pick up my documents.

How do I pick a location? At the embassy? Or they automatically choose nearest location from address mentioned on the interview letter 

I think I have to register http://www.ustraveldocs.com/ and then choose IV Address Registration Correct ?

You don't pay it for it but you need to pick the center you want it delivered to.   They do not send them to your home you pick a location close to your home.

Guys,

Where do you pay the courier fee? Or do you pay the fee at all? We have interview schedule but are not sure how will we get our documents and passport back? Do they send it to your home address.

Quick Question Guys,

How did you pay fee or register with postal service to get your passport back after your immigrant visa approval in Islamabad.

Do you have to pay the courier fee online? Or you have to pay that at the embassy. How did you get your packet and passport back.

Fellow F2A members,

This is going to be a long comment so hang in there with me . Based on my experience thus far , firstly the NVC call center does not have any idea when your interview will be scheduled. They are government contractors and have as much as information as you have when you login NVC website. Secondly, this may sound ironic but do not trust half the comments people post here about their prediction and opinions.  Everyone's case is different and there is no such thing as a "set time" like end of the month, start of the month schedules etc. All I would say is be patient and get your case documentarily qualified as soon as possible to get in the queue. Once you are in the queue it's just a waiting game. I know it's not easy as it sounds but you will get there. One last thing, please post your comments on this forums for other members ease of mind and our silent spectators who visit the forums and dont comment.
