I have observed that there are two processing unit in Islamabad for visa stamping one is "Visa processing unit (LDN) and second is "phep ldn immigrant". The processing time of second unit is very fast and people are getting back their passport in 4/5 days while the processing time of unit 1 is more than a month.

Please confirm who have recently send their passport and received back.

I waited for more than 6months before I got my interview schedule. I got PER Sept 26, 2013 and was interviewed September 28, 2014.

Unfortunately, WAITING is one the biggest challenge we have to face in the application process.

Yes, it was in Abu Dhabi. It was ok. As long as you know the details of your job (or work experience), there's nothing to worry. It's not a technical interview.

Yes, I got a positive feedback. :)

Dear AK2147,
My passports were received in ISB VO on 12th November. I am still waiting for my passports to return. My passports were delivered to VPU. How do we know if my passports are in 1st or 2nd unit? Do you have any idea how long could it take to get my passports back?
