When you got the passport request letter from islamabad, did it not say how long they would keep your passport for?
I guess every embassy is different. My letter from the London embassy stated they would keep my passport for up to 6 weeks, they have had it for 4 weeks and 4 days now.
Good luck.

Well the processing times for Islamabad are 21 months, its been 14 months for you so far. So you are still within the normal processings times.
Perhaps you could post this question in the Islamabad thread and they would be able to tell you how long the embassy had their passports.
Good luck!

There are several other cases (Islamabad) where people are waiting for more than two months to get their passport back with the Visa.
