In the statement of the American Embassy, it has been said that the demand for American visas from Pakistan has reached the highest level so far, the processing of thousands of applications for non-immigrant visas has been accelerated, and the appointment period of 10,000 applicants scheduled for 2024 has been reduced. Yes, applications from candidates exempted from interview are being accepted.
According to the US Embassy in Pakistan, the demand for US visas from Pakistan has reached an all-time high. The US Mission in Pakistan is trying to process more visa applications than ever before and we are working hard to reduce wait times for visa appointments. Today, the US Mission is proud to announce that we are working in three ways to accommodate applicants in response to this unprecedented increase in visa demand.
First, the processing of thousands of applications for nonimmigrant visas has been expedited. More than 10,000 Pakistani applicants are soon to be notified that their appointment at the US Consulate in Karachi has been shortened to 2023, which was originally scheduled for 2024. Some appointments can be scheduled from next week itself.
Secondly, Pakistanis wishing to travel have been given an additional concession that after canceling their appointment, they can reschedule at either the US Consulate in Karachi or the US Embassy in Islamabad, whichever is convenient for them. We hope that this relaxation will make it easier for the applicants to fix the date, time and place of interview according to their convenience. Similarly, from September 25, the US Consulate in Karachi will start accepting applications from candidates exempted from interviews who were previously issued US visas from Karachi.
Applicants can visit our website ustraveldocs.com slashpk to check their eligibility for exemption from interview and after printing the confirmation letter visit AA in Karachi without appointment. GK can submit their required details along with the application in Dropbox. It should be noted that the US Embassy in Islamabad is already accepting applications from eligible visa candidates who have already been issued visas from Islamabad.
All of these actions reflect that the United States highly values our partnership with Pakistan and that our goal is to facilitate legal travel to the United States as quickly and efficiently as possible, as we need families Recognizing the importance of staying connected, strengthening business relationships and building cultural connections.
