The problem is that the Pakistani embassy do not renew the Passport in advance of 6 months. Which means I can only apply for a new passport at Pakistan embassy on or after 27 September 2015.
You can request an emergency passport; they will ask you for a reason and you can state that you need it for visa applications.
The other option here is that you can travel a bit (filling your passport pages) and then ask for a renewal for traveling; fortunately for me I went with this route and it worked well. You will have to use the expedite process.
I have heard that processing outside of Pakistan is quicker than within Pakistan due to the volume of requests. I had my passport done in less than a calendar month when applied for from Kuwait.
