Dear Friends
I am 38 years, married in Nov 2007 but unluckily having no kids due to medical reason, but we still living a very happy life. I am providing quantity surveying services to various construction companies at Pakistan through contract agreements and getting my service charges on work done bases. I went on vocations in Jan or Feb every year, my previous travel history is as following:
2002 - Saudia Arabia, Turkey & UAE
2004 - SriLanka, Thailand, Malaysia
2006 - India as Zaireen (Religious Tourist)
2008 - Saudi Arabia (with family for Umra)
2008 - Netherlands
2010 - Saudi Arabia (with family for Umra)
2012 - Saudi Arabia (with family for Hajj)
2016 - Netherlands & Turkey
2016 - KSA & UAE (with family)
It is pertinent to mention that my old passports had refusal from UK in 2005 & Switzerland in 2007 when it was not in schengen. My wife is traveling with me since 2008. She is not joining me during my proposed trip to USA 2017.
Today, on 15 Dec 2016 appeared for interview at USA Embassy Islamabad & my interview proceeded in Urdu as following:
