K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-130 put maden name or married name
We got married in November 2007 in Pakistan..and now filing I-130...on the form do I put maiden name or married name?
also, her name has not been changed on anything in the U.S. , only thing we have that has name change is the marriage papers from Pakistan.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionsite for ELAV 156 and 157 form
My interview on 20th dec 2006 when i called embassy the lady told me to fill out only DS 156 electronically on internet thats all but she said if you will not fill it electronically i will send u back no interview if not filled electronically... all other forms i just download filled and printed them.... this is what i did but may be any one eles can tell u more about it... I think when u by 3 the emassy means print and bring all 3 sheets of DS156 as when u print them they are 3 sheets.... last sheet is with ur name and Barcode number....

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview done at Riyadh Saudi Arabia

Didn't Ammar say that they gave his passport back to him and that once he collected the paperwork they were asking for then the passport and the paperwork back to them by Fed Ex? My question is why did they give Ammar back his passport instead of keeping it? :unsure:


It is probably because they do not know how long you will take to respond back with the request for additional evidence and they do not want to hang onto the passport for an unknown period of time.


Thanks here is the copy of 221g that they gave me so look at it u may have more clear pic [attachment=3026:scan1.JPG]

Middle East and North AfricaWaiting Waiting!!!!!!!!

"Administrative process" includes security checks, information validation, and other things they feel they need to do. If you do a search on this forum, you will find a lot of indepth information about it. Because each individual's history/situation is unique the embassies usually won't speculate on the time frame involved because it will vary. The unfortunate part of waiting out processing is that there is no information available to DOS or to you until it's completed. Good luck to you, be patient, it will conclude.


My Passport with embassy which i send it the 1st time i send the docments as they asked me to send passport with the docments that i send 1st time and till now with them and they did not said AP or secuirt check or any thing eles as u can read what they said in the email hope it wont take long and Riyadh embassy realy dont have many K1 cases in months 1 or 2.

Middle East and North AfricaWaiting Waiting!!!!!!!!
My intervew was done on 20.12.2006 and all was fine they asked me to send 2 docments which i send next day after that they called me and said they need 2 more docments which took time to get them and during this time we called embassy and told them that we working on the docments they requested and asked after send the requested docmnets how long it will take them to issuee visa they said 2 week so on 4.02.2007 we send the requested docments and on 17.02.2007 we emailed them to ask if they got the docments and now when they can issuee visa they answered our email as below.
Dear Ms. Deland,
Pls note that we have received the requested documents from Mr. jaffri. However the case is still going through the process and until the completion of all the procedures the visa will not be issued. We are in the process of going through the entire file of Mr. jaffri. As soon as there is an update or in case of completion of our procedures we will contact Mr. Jaffri of the result immediately. At the moment we do not know how long will it take for the procedures to be completed and visa to be issued.
Hope this helps.

Now dont know how long we have to wait so pray for us to be done quickly.

Middle East and North AfricaCase Sending Back
The problem is fiancee is in saudi arabia and paper he has to get from his home country (Pakistan) and the embassy is Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and he is now back to Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) so it will take little time as his bro will send by dhl and the he will send to embassy bu fedex so it may take 3 to 4 days hope till then they dont return the case back.

Middle East and North AfricaCase Sending Back

I know what you've been told on the phone, but you had to cover all your bases, meaning you had to get everything and anything you'd think they might want. And not believe them on the phone - they say one thing, then they say another thing. Personally, I would get all the papers right away. Try to call back and ask to keep your papers there, so you can give them what they want!!! Call them as soon as you can reach them! If the case goes back, you're screwed because it takes a lot of time just to send the papers back and nobody even cares when they get there - they have the lowest priority possible.

Just look at my case! Call them back and ask them to give you time to bring the right paper!!! That's my advice. Maybe others will disagree, but that's what I think.

Good luck!



As Visa4habibi! u said i asked my fiancee to call embassy and ask them that we sending them the right paper in 3 or 4 days so she called and talk to a lady who know all about the case she was surprised as my fiancee called her 3 time in 30 min.. so my fiancee told her that we can send u the right paper in 3 or 4 days so she said ok send it but she said she cant promise any thing but she also said to send in her name and she will see what she can do she said hurry so we sending the paper in 2 days hope to hear some good news and my fiancee also emailed her.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPolice Certificate From Kazakhstan
I contacted the Kazakhstan Embassy today again and they told me that they only issuee Police Certificates to Kazak Nationals and no to other nationals same they told me 2 weeks back when i contacted them so i told that guy what to tell to the US emabssy during my interview he said tell them that Kazakhstan Emabssy only issuee to kzak nationals (i am not kazak national i only live 16 months there) so i am now confused what to do... as from my home country and the country now i am living i got the police certificates

This is the information that the Department of State has posted on their website, and is what the US embassy, or consulate as to go on. They have a list of countries that police certificates are not available from and Kazakhstan is not one of them.

POLICE CLEARANCE INFORMATION

Available. An official document is obtainable from the Center of Justice Statistics and Information under the General Prosecutor's Office (CJSI). Kazakhstani citizens, residents (or their confidential agents) can request this document by applying directly to the Center of Justice Statistics at the following address:

Jeltoksan
Street 189,
Almaty, 480099, Kazakhstan

At the time of application they need to present identification or a residence card. Prior Kazakhstani residents, who now live in countries different from the Republic of Kazakhstan, should apply at Kazakhstani diplomatic missions abroad. Third parties (embassies, consulates, etc.) can apply by diplomatic note only.
