Hi....It is almost the same even if u apply from USA or Pakistan due to this fast track system. Now this is your convinience that where you want submit your application for further procedure. It will take 6-8 months to finalise the case.

Yes, it depends on who the main applicant is. If you are the main applicant, then Islamabad is your only choice. If your wife is the main applicant, then either buffalo or islamabad.

Yes, i am main Applicant for this, but my Wife will go back to USA after we applying from Islamabad.
Her Permenant Residence of USA (Green Card) can decrease our processsing time .

no, it shouldn't. it may increase it due to one extra security check but this is minimal.

I am guessing. 80% of applicants will get completed within a year. But it can vary from country to country on how much faster than a year.
