I Urge all applicants from Pakistan, to give interviews in English, they don't give you option for that , but You can tell them that you dnt speak Urdu, and will give interview in English( even if your English(spoken) is 5.5 you are in a better position to fight for your case, at times the translator undermines your position by translating your answer in a way totally out of context and also skips valuable information.
Don't say your language is Punjabi or Pashto , its probable that they might provide one of them, there are too many punjabi's and pathan's living in Islamabad.
Interviews are only held in Islamabad.

I am grateful that you have given a very useful information. Could you please also let us know your answers or at least which you couldnt. Why didnt you opt English for Interview? Did you prepare for the questions like tax, comapny registerations, audited accounts etc. What was the reason of refusal and BTW what kind of business you were planning to establish?
Thanks and Best of Luck with loads of prayers
