H1B Processing Time in Pakistan
 

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the H1B processing time in Islamabad, Pakistan. My boyfriend had his interview on September 30th and at the time the woman had accepted his papers and informed him they would return his passport in about 30-35 days once they had completed the final FBI/security check, which is being run on males ages 16-45 in Pakistan. In looking at the Islamabad embassy page, they issued a press release on Sept. 25 saying the embassy has finally been able to catch up with much of the backlog and that they anticipated quicker processing times going forward. ANY information would be appreciated as there is not much out there on the Internet. Thank you much.
