Just wait for their notice in mail or call USCIS to inquire. They have sent you some notice of action but rest of the text in mail seems misleading.

Err. The OP says he intends to apply for a CR-1/IR-1. Either the OP really means he's adjusting status (not CR-1/IR-1) and was approved. OR. The wording in this email is all wrong. An I-130 petition for a spouse outside the us does not result in the production of any card.

OP: Are you adjusting status? If so, remove CR-1/IR-1 from your profile. If you are outside the US, take Darnell's advice.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFiling I-130 Abroad in Pakistan

Hello VJ Members,
I have a question. I am a U.S. citizen and am planning to go to Pakistan to live with my husband.I want to file my petition while I am in Pakistan and I have afew questions I need answered.

1. If I file my I-130 petition for my husband where do I send the packet to? Read the instructions it says the address for overseas filers
2. Does USCIS accept international money orders for the fees? That is Negative
3. For the address of the petitioner, should I write my address in U.S.A. or the address in Pakistani? His address in Pakistani
4. From Pakistan Courier goes via DHL is that okay? or will there be any problem delivering? DHL Express delivers in 3 days for Rs. 3800 its the best.
5. WHen I am at the NVC stage, do I have to be physically present in the U.S. during the I-864(Affidavit of Support) or can I stay In Pakistan? You can stay in Pakistan and do everything from there.
6. I will be having a joint sponser for the I-864, so can my parents fill out the applciation for me and send it to me to sign and I will forward it to NVC? Yes
7. As for the address of the sponsor(me) on the I-864, should I list my U.S. Adress? Put your Pakistani address its better.

8. Will the Embassy in Islamabad let me attend with my husband to the interview? You will have to call them and ask them but if you are there both of you will be interviewd




Please answer all my questions above as much as you know. Thanks so much!


I think I answered everything above to the best of my knowledge. Good luck with your visa journey.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPakistan marriage Certificate( nikkahnama ) or Marriage registration?
[quote name='ANC_____007' timestamp='1348879906' post='5723884']
I am not sure if anyone can answer this question without being from Pakistan, so i will ask everyone from pakistan who already sent their DS230 to please answer me.

I have a Nikkahnama ( marriage certificate) and engish translation of it. is that ok to send with my DS 230 or do i need to get the marriage registeration from union counsel? I did register my wedding with union counsel and they did give me the registeration and i have a copy of it, but the original we cant find. i am wondering if they will accept the original nikkahnama and english translation of it instead of marriage registeration issued by union counsel..

i wonder if anyone knows if i can get another copy from union counsel?


Just send in what ever you have now
Later US Embassy will ask you to bring all the original docs to the Interview
