Hello Nakul 😊

Yeah, there probably would be hassle with the US immigration if you have a Pakistani visa in your passport. They hassle people for everything these days.

I went to Iran when I was almost at the end of my 10 year passport, so I wouldnt have to have the Iranian visa visible to all immigration and consulates for too long.

There is no problem at all... Iran relationship are not good for last 2 -3 decades .I dont think you have problem with US Immigrations for Pakistan visa as i have visited Afghanistan as a tourist and Saudi arabia to perform umrah (Pilgrimage) and when i applied to US Embassy for visa they just ask me why you visited saudi arabia that was after 9/11 i gave them simple reason they accepted it.

And remember Nakul its not the unwanted queries or Harrassment its your confidence .I get the multiple visa for india with 12 cities to visit and for one year in Pakistan without any restrictions of police reporting after mumbai attacks i was in same situation that should i visit or not believe me i crossed wagah border alone visited amritsar for one night to meet my business associate and i couldnt slept that night in the brand new suite of Ista Hotel.

After that i am going on and off to india as i get to know that people there are in same situation and now my business is healthy due to that visit i am confident that no one can harrass me anywhere.
