w4a - congratulations....pick up the passport ASAP and get on the run...
oh btw for your previous post...if your hubby is traveling from KHI his best bet is to go Turkish Airlines. Its cheap and safe. I flew turkish from US to Pak. Only it does not fly from ISB so we are not able to take that airlines this time around.
best of luck

All pakistani's have to bring a fresh police certificate from Paki for interview. The nvc told us the same thing. The reason is that all pakistani police certificates have a 30 to 90 day validation, and usually tend to expire by the time of interview or during their further research after the interview before the visa is printed out. The embassy and the nvc require it just in case. So you will have to bring new original police certificates...whether yours are expiring or not....it is a requirement that must be fulfilled. I understand how it must be an extra pain for the two of you though seeing as neither you nor your husband are in Pakistan at this time and it most likely will take you guys some extra time to get those in the Philippines from Pakistan....but that's nvc for ya.....in fact this entire process is a huge pain in the butt, is it not?
actually I disagree. The ceritifcate is valid for a year. NVC will tell you to bring one either way...its standard. however if you call the embassy and check with them, they accept the certificate for a year. We had ours issued in February so technically ours expired in 90 days which is in may. Our interview was scheduled in June for July 16th. And we did not get another certificate issued. They accepted the one we submitted to NVC in February and by Gods grace all is fine, the visa is issued and we are waiting for the return of the passport.
The reason they say that as a standard procedure is becuase there are certain times that the interview might be scheduled a year after submitting docs to NVC. In that case, you would need a new one. However, if your interview date is within a year. You are good to go!

*** so we need to show my husband's police clearance from pakistan. i dont understand this part because we already sent an original copy of the pakistan police clearance so why does he need to bring another one? can he bring just a copy?

Thank you Mumtaz...We are trying our best to get a fresh new copy for it...talking to every person we know in peshawar. im worried that if we dont get it in time we would have to reschedule the interview date...
just call the embassy and check with them... surely you will be fine. ISL embassy is 051-281-2700 for the immigration dept and they are accepting calls from 1230 - 330

Waitingforapproval, feisal, mzj, ATK, and everybody else... Thank you soooooooooo much for all your wishes and prayers as well. I am so happy its unbelievable.
We made reservations through Gulf Air for the 19th of Sept. So hopefully once the passport is in hand we will get the tickets issued. POE will be chicago, IL our trip is kinda cool, we fly out here on the 19th and land in Bahrain at around 845 AM. The next connecting flight is like 12 hours later at 130 in the morning...(night). Gulf Air has arranged a hotel stay for that day and since My sister lives in Bahrain we will get to hang out with her as well. Then fly out to UK and then to home sweet home!
ALI - Heartiest Congratulations to you. See ya all in USA

with the new rules i believe she has to revisit the US every six months or at least inform authorities how long she will stay out of the US for and why, she might need a reentry permit when she returns

Yeah but the Pakistani embassy I spoke with here in Chicago said NADRA doesn't issue POC cards anymore, just NICOP. Anyways, as I get to Pakistan were going to the NADRA office to see what we can get, it seems like the rules/guidelines are a bit hazy...
