Consulate Review: Islamabad, Pakistan

| Embassy Review : |
My fiance went in for his interview in March. He went in early, just like he was instructed to. He had to wait a few hours because there were many people at the consulate office that day that had to get an interview. Finally, when it was his turn, the interviewer asked him a few simple questions like how we know each other, what his dad does, what my dad does, etc. He then gave my fiance a green paper and said that his case will go under further review, but it is nothing to worry about because everyone goes through it. Overall, my fiance said that it was very simple and casual. But little did we know, that the time it took to process the visa was very long - we ended up getting put on Administrative Processing and it took a year and nine months to get out of AP. It was a very frustrating time to have to wait for so long without them telling us anything. Finally at the end of October, he got an email saying to redo his Medical Examination and send in a few forms because they were expired. After doing that, we waited for about 4 more weeks and then finally on December 18, 2013, his visa got approved. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
