Arshia

For those who have already interviewed or know any info on this, how long does it take to get medical results or for it to be sent to the Islamabad embassy? They told me 4-5 days on the phone when I made the appt for Nov 25th. Interview is Dec 2nd. Will it be okay?

FYI, the medical will be done in Lahore at the Wilcare Center.

My husband was living in Dubai but his visa expired for there in August and he came to live in Pakistan since then. He got his police certificate issued last september when we needed to upload to NVC but obviously now it’s no longer valid. My question is, his interview is on the 2nd of December so is a new police certificate for Dubai required to bring to the interview. It won’t let him apply again online since his visa expired for there and he has been in Pakistan since and has not gone back to Dubai

Just a friend of mine. I m not so close to them. We barely talk. But i asked them if it was expedite or no Just waiting on the answer now .. but He told me that April 2 and April 8 he has heard both of them get interview .. so i thought maybe @Arshia didnt have passport or something else  ! But this is getting really odd !! Why they skipping some people?

Hmm I am a U.S. citizen and I petitioned my husband. I do have a passport but that’s really weird if that’s true what your friend is saying, and unlucky :(

So today is November 1st, 2020. What month DQ’s are scheduled this month...? March or have they moved to April? 

They haven’t moved to April, that’s confirmed because my husband’s DQ was April 2nd right at the beginning of the month so if they start April DQ’s, we should know in the upcoming week.

I’m guessing they’re literally going to start sending out April DQ interviews sometime in November.

Right ! I dont know anyone who was dq early april so i could have an idea !! Do you know anyone who was dq early or mid april ?

My husband’s DQ was on April 2nd and we’re still waiting for his interview letter, hoping maybe at the end of this month fingers crossed! I’ll update here when he gets it :)

Just wondering... does the port of entry matter which airport you choose to come to the U.S. ? For example if the address of my residence where I will be staying at once I arrive in the U.S. is in Houston TX, if my flight is to chicago, can they deny my visa Or entry into U.S. because of That??

They publish in news, but some how they push it back and subject to change, keep checking the Emirates website and they may open long routine flights from May 01, 

here is a guick news updated, even you can read in it Etihad Airline is also planning to open partially flights, so keep an eye on both and you can travel.

today they have lifted the 24 hours lock-down after 3 weeks and life is getting to normal slowly with safety measures.

Fly to Dubai, i heard Dubai is going to open flights to US from 1st May 2020.  

May I ask where you heard this information? I am in U.S. also wanting to go to Dubai to visit hubby

The only thing I understood from his very vague, general tweet is that he is going to suspend immigration which could mean anything related to immigration or specific categories of visa BUT definitely not letting any further immigrants coming into the U.S. considering he mentioned the virus also, ‘foreign enemy’ . I could be so wrong but that tweet and the news makes it seem millions of things which might be nowhere close!

Hi Arshia- we’re new to NVC. Where can we find the estimated wait times by embassy?

 

Thank you. 

It’s by the country you will be interviewed at. I know there’s a spreadsheet but I don’t have the link for that. This might help you:

I’m wonder I got DQ on April 3 I’m wonder when I get appointment letter it’s been 11 days I like to know estimates time 

Embassies are closed and no interviews are being appointed at this time. Whenever embassies open, the interviews which were canceled will be resceduled first and then you will be in queue. You can look up your estimated wait times depending on the country where you will be interviewed!

I thought Pakistan had closed its airspace? Travel would be the issue. 

 

The only other issue would be meeting the I 864 requirements.

Yes ofc, but I would be going near end of May, I’m sure it would open up by then.

requirements such as... ?

So for those who know what Eid is for muslims, my husband has already gotten DQ but is awaiting interview which who knows when it will happen due to the embassies closing, and I really really want to spend the holiday with him, will it be okay if I go to Pakistan then and spend it with him even if his interview hasn’t come up yet. And if it is appointed within the month after I’m there visiting, is there any harm in me staying with him??

background: I’m in the U.S. and he lives in Dubai and is going to Pakistan in May to spend the holiday with his family. After we got married, I lived with him in Dubai for about 9 months then came back last Dec and started working, which I’m now laid off due to the virus so I would like to be with him for the holiday if that won’t work against me during his interview ?

My last submission was on Jan 29 and I received my DQ in the evening at around 5 PM today.. 

No DQ’s today?! Or maybe they have but just are not on this forum 😅. USCIS closed until May 3rd or so I heard. Really hope NVC doesn’t follow suit.

Hoping for DQ this week! And also embassies opening up sometime this month!

Yes it does take 8-9 weeks but you should hear from them this week and if not max next week if your last submission was Feb 1. Don’t lose hope!
