You have the correct advice already, but a withdrawal letter is not actually required.

Thank You Man! 

Indeed...I'm just trying to get my certificate from the ministry of interior and then send it to them so hopefully Allah will bless me on this matter and my best wishes for you as well.

That's awesome brother! I hope everything goes well for you. If they keep your passport, that is definitely a positive sign. 

Thank you bro☺️
Health issues with all the evidence helped me to get expedite within few days and they are very kind trust me.
If you want to get any further details so inbox your number I will guide you if you wants.

Yeah I will let you know about the interview inshALLAH.

That's Great man. Let us know how the interview went. Best of luck again. 

MashAllah! Did you make an Expedite Request or is it with the normal processing time? 
Best of luck! You will do great. 

It was 26th of October 2020.
Best of luck for your interview.😊

What really matters is the embassy/consulate backlog for scheduling interviews.  NVC does not send the file until there is an interview opening and many are ahead of you in line so some have waited a lot more than 90 days because of COVID and the closing of many embassies and consulates which are slowly starting to schedule interviews again.  Check with your country's forum or search for country-specific threads on wait times after NVC finishes checking documents.  Good luck!

I would expect the latter DQ date

So i did speak to them and they told me i got the second notification because of the joint sponsor documents which i had submitted after being documentarily qualified the first time. I submitted the Joint Sponsor documents after about 20 days of being DQ the first time. They said its gonna remain submitted and the Embassy will check the documents on the interview day. 

Islamabad is very backed up for scheduling interviews because of the pandemic, not much you can do about that if your expedite is not approved.  Then after the interview, be prepared for a long period of administrative processing which is normal for Pakistan because of the extensive background checks they have to do.  Visit the Pakistan forum for specific stories and experiences of others in your same situation.  Hopefully your spouse can visit you in Pakistan during the wait, especially before your interview, as time spent together helps support your claim that the marriage is bona fide.  Good luck!

Be prepared for it to be declined, despite your belief that you have a strong and valid case. Maybe your wife’s issues are very serious and I am not suggesting that they are not. But from the perspective of the authorities, she lives in one of the most advanced countries in the world. If her issues are related to health, we have excellent doctors. If her issues are related to finances due to losing a job or something, we have unemployment insurance and welfare for that. If her issues are to do with her mental health, we have therapists for that.
 
What I am saying is, they will expect you to demonstrate what YOU can provide to alleviate her issues that cannot be provided by any organization or professional person in the United States. Usually the only thing that a spouse can provide that no one else can is love and emotional support and that doesn’t qualify for an expedite. I understand you want to be there for your wife. My husband lost both his father and his stepmother during our IR-1 process and I wanted to be there for him. If you are at the interview stage now the majority of the waiting is over. The end is in sight.

Zahid Khan, welcome to the forum.

Hey that's harsh lol. Be nice. Well it was about my wife going through some personal issues in the states which should be a valid reason for Embassy to accept the expedite request, at least now that we have provided further documents that states the facts. 

That's your opinion.  Communicate with the Consular IV Unit about it.  Maybe you're right.  If you want the opinion of the senior members here, you'll need to explain in more detail.

It means you have been DQ since October 17, 2020.  This is unrelated to your request for an expedite.  

FYI, there is really nothing to expedite.  You are waiting for an open interview slot.  

It means you are in the queue.
 
1. Case is DQ'd by NVC.
2. Case the enters NVC queue for your consulate and waits at NVC.
3. Consulate informs NVC of available interview date for upcoming month.
4. NVC schedules interview when case reaches the front of the queue for that consulate.
5. NVC notifies person of interview date.
6. NVC then sends case to consulate.
After the interview is scheduled, it can take several days to several weeks for the consulate to receive the case.
