IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresAdministrative Processing- different color tokens
The actual scenario is when u qualify for visa they nothing give to just CO said that "Congratulates to u u got visa" nothing else but the purple color token is pasted on everyone passport back side, this token is pasted for receiving the passport from Amex nothing else and the other types of token means that u got AP and there's different conditions of AP, so it depend on ur case requirements nothing else

if CO said u got visa it's fine else if u receive any token/paper given by CO its mean u got AP.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAffidavit of support
Hello Everyone,

Someone told me about this forum helpful for all the individuals who are giong to file petition for spouse to bring him/her to US. Im very happy after joining this greatful forum.

My fiance is US citizen she is about to start filing petition in TX. She is not doing any job as she is of 22 now but yes she is doing business from last year but her income was not as much as required by the Authorities to file a petition. Co-sponsor is the option but i heard that with case with co-sponsor gets weak is this right ?

My second question is that my fiance visited pakistan couple of months ago. we got engaged but we didnt get pictures together on enagagement ceremony as this is not in our culture. but we have the video and pics of the ceremony with the families. Afterwards, she and me got pictures with our families in room together. My question is when this proof of photos are needed ?

Any suggestion and recommendations as we are going to start this process .


THANKS ALOT .

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresshe does business but last year she was in Loss last year
hi im from pakistan. My fiance is doing business from last year but last year her revenue was $130,000 but her profit was zero (loss)she is not doing job she is 23 now. She is going to petition for k1 visa will she be accepted as far as income is concerned or she will need a co-sponsor ?

My second question is we engaged on 1st may 2011 as per our culture we didnt meet on engagement ceremony but yes later on we met each other with her and my mom.
we took pictures at that time. Will that be accepted as a engagement proof as our family pictures are taken on engagement ceremony.

In fact my fiance regsitered a business with her name but we are giving services for her business from pakistan to her clients. Will that be supporting for us because someone told me that she might get problem in visa approval as they might be in doubt that this is business relation not fiance.

Please give me appropriate answer. Thanks

Dont worry they will send your documents to NVC along with your file and then they will all be forwarded to Embassy, and at the day of your interview they will return your original documents. I went through the same process not to worry..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIR-1 / CR-1 Islamabad....No Administrative Processing (AP)

hey...I've been reading the posts on this website for a long time. The posts made me worried that the administrative processing was mandatory for young Pakistani male. Just had an interview at Islamabad embassy and my case was approved without the CO giving me any slip...she just congratulated and told me that i would get my visa stamped passport in 7 to 10 days.....so i recommend to whoever is worried getting AP not to lose hope and pray for the good

 

I'm 28, Male from Islamabad....interview duration was a little over 1 hour....actual interview with CO was just for 5 mins i think....at 9.30 i was driving back home...

Asia: SouthChange of First Name

I am kind of new to this topic poll. My question is, how important is it to change your first name? When going through my wedding my name wasn't a Muslim name so the decided to change my name to a Muslim name rather than the name I was born with. Should I change my first name? Or can I keep it the same? How important is your first name, name change when it comes to paperwork?


If your name isn't overly Christian-sounding (like the name Christian, Christina) or it doesn't mean something haram/negative, then I wouldn't worry about officially changing your name. You can just tell your Muslim friends your Islamic name and anyone else you want to call you by that name and they will call you by that name only. There is no need to officially change it and make paperwork more complicated. Why not keep official things straightforward and simple and use your Islamic name in your personal life.

I personally made this decision and I am living in Pakistan right now. Everyone calls me by my Islamic name and many don't even know the name I have for passport and documents. It's just not a big deal. I don't have any regrets for not changing it officially, and I don't plan to do in the future. Its completely up to you.

SmilesAbroadFemalePakistan8/25/2012 12:04
Asia: SouthInterview questions and documents!!!
One way to prepare for questions would be to read the Islamabad Consulate review page. Many people there have posted the questions they were asked at the interview. Make sure you and your partner are able to easily answer these questions in a clear, concise manner. Ask each other questions in general about each other, events in your lives, relatives, favorite things/habits, etc. Read the questions posted in those reviews and try to guess what the CO may focus on in your case. Think about possible red flags in the relationship and how to answer questions aimed at those areas in order to demonstrate a bonafide marriage. Don't count on having a long time to explain issues, so prepare quick, understandable answers for possible questions. Also, if you get a bad CO and interview doesn't go well, don't waste time arguing (never works) or asking them to look at something. They want you to leave and if you argue they will mention calling security. Instead, be cooperative and try to get specifics on your denial, or about their request for missing items. If it goes bad make sure you can leave fully understanding what happened and what the CO was thinking so you aren't left confused. Arguing just wastes the little time they may give you after they make a decision. You may not even notice they have a problem with something in your case until they say at the end that you are denied or missing something so try to hold back your surprise, frustration, anger, etc and stay calm.

As far as documents, they should have sent you a packet saying what exactly THEY want you to bring, but you should also bring proofs that may help against red flags/issues in your specific case. They may not look at any of those things, but with a good CO he/she will take time to look at those items and discuss them with you. So be prepared. Good luck, I really hope you get a good, fair CO!! Please don't forget to come back and tell us all what happened, update your timeline, and make a review of your interview/questions because it really helps everyone else on this site! Especially since everyone on the Pakistan Portal are desperate to hear about good interviews! Don't forget us if it goes well ;) :) (And we will help you if it goes bad) Again good luck!
