K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCOVERING LETTER

You DO NOT need to send the email that they send you with the packet 3.5 use the cover letter in the post above. Some times those american express people do not know what they are doing and confuse people instead.

Well its not that he has to send it, but they do ask for a copy of this at lease Speedex does.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCOVERING LETTER

Yes that 3.5 packet email but i have not received or mistakenly i have deleted. my i-29f petition is going to expire on 23 jan 2013. how would i know whether they had sent me an email or not. because if it is deleted mistakenly i have to request them to resend.


If your are like me that delete items but does not empty the entire folder of deleted items maybe its still there.

hello everyone....

i was gone to submit the docs (packet 3.5 form) (k1 visa) for further process at american express but guy there told me that i have not got covering letter having number ISL number. But ISL number printed on I-134 instead of having covering letter. please advice where can i get this covering letter from though have not receive email with packet 3.5 but downloaded through web.

PLZ NOTE... I M FROM KARACHI PAKISTAN
[/quote

I believe the cover letter he is talking about is once you receive the 3.5 e-mail packet you need to print that e-mail and take it to American Express. Thats the cover letter that will have your case number. In order to submit documents you need to wait for that 3.5 packet e-mail.

The color of the sheet doesn't matter, it just matters what is written on the sheet. Unfortunately no one knows the real reason why someone is put in AP, or exactly what they are looking for. My husband was put in AP and it lasted 10 weeks. The one thing I wish some of the consulates would stop doing is giving people a time frame for AP, because when that time frame comes and goes and the visa isn't issued the agony of waiting longer is excruciating. When they told my husband and I that he was in mandatory AP, the CO did not give us a timeline. He merely said it has to run it's course and we cannot give specifics because it would merely be speculation, you just have to let it run it's course and you will be contacted when the visa is issued. And that is exactly what happened. I feel for people going through Islamabad because it just seems that AP is almost a certainty for most. Just sad. I wish you the best and I hope your fiance's AP is a speedy one. Posted Image

Yes, you are right bc now my mind is set for this time frame, and I just imagine the feeling if he is not contacted within the time frame. But I am trusting God, leaving ALL in his hands. I pray and hope that we all get through this process soon.
Blessings to all!

hmmm interesting, or maybe is it because of the city someone is from that they put people on Ap example like if you live in the northern part of Pakistan near to the terrorist . My fiance is sindhi from Hyderadbad and we didnt get any AP..this is just my thoughts..


I believe there have been others from other cities, that like you say are not near the "Terroists" and have also been put on AP. So, I think that the comment is out of context.

Hey! Salaam,

Sorry to hear that they gave him AP. But if they said 3-4 weeks I've read on various other topics that sometimes they just say this as a standard but they call earlier to pick up the passport. Keep your head up and pray to Allah, I understand it is hard as I'm going through the same process. Just keep praying and In sha Allah he will get his passport back soon. Did he tell you what they asked him in the interview? Could you possibly post that up as our case will be at that point soon and maybe it will help us a little.

Please and Thank you,

I'll pray for you all and I hope you will keep me in your prayers as well. Congrats on the process so far I'm sure you'll hear back soon.



Thank-you so much!! And yes I will always keep you in my prayers.

Fiancee was put into AP, but overall was a good experience. Consular was very nice and respectful. Did't ask for further documents. Fiancee had taxes, affidavit of support,employment documents, call records, consular said he didn't need those. Just saw additional pictures that was it. Questions were simple: how we met? where is she from? what does she do? where so you live? what do you do? Lastly, was given a blue sheet and kept his passport and was told that it would take 3 to 4 weeks for further processing.

Not for Islamabad... other countries it does... sorry to hear he received AP but it really isn't uncommon at this embassy and if they request any other documents during AP get them to the embassy ASAP..

Best of luck!!



Well they did't ask for anything else. He didn't ask for any of the documents he had with him which were the affidavit of support, employment documents, tax transcripts, call records, nothing.He said, they already had call records when the petition was submitted. Just saw the pictures and asked where were the pictures taken, and they also kept his passport.

My fiancee had his interview today, and he was given a blue sheet and the Immigration Officer said the further processing will take 3 to 4 weeks. Does the different color of sheets mean anything?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAge & Religion possible denials for an AP case

First of all. AP is NOT mandatory in Islamabad. I have read about it often but it is not mandatory. I just think Pakistan is a tough country. Pray to Allah that you don't go into AP. I am doing to same. I know you've been in AP for a long time. Just pray that it is over soon. I have been keeping you in my prayers and will continue to do so. I know how tough it is. If your relationship is legit you don't have anything to worry about. In sha Allah your AP will be over soon. Allah has reasons for everything. I know it seems difficult right now, trust me I am going through the same situation, but there's always a reason for it that Allah knows what's best. Allah would never put you through something that you couldn't handle. You two and your relationship will come out stronger from this. Just stick together and pray.



Thank-you so, so much for your words. I also pray that everyone who is going through this hard road that seems not to have an end also are united with their loved ones soon.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAge & Religion possible denials for an AP case

See, AP for all Pakistanian is like nacessary, but age differrence & Religion wont matter for ur relation, just wait......but in some cases if its really huge age difference then they might over think, so would u like to tell the difference....


BEST OF LUCK



Sure, why not 10 years.

Difference in religion and age difference are red flags for fraud in Pakistan if the woman is older. They can deny you if they don't feel the relationship is bona fide, How many visits have you had to visit him? A couple who are going through Islamabad were recently denied after 21 months of AP, and they are married. Islamabad is one of the toughest embassies to go through by far. My husband and I have difference in reliigon and age difference and we were approved through Amman.



This is my second visit, I am currently in Pakistan.

My fiance is currently undergoing an AP in the Embassy of Islamabad since January 18th. We have a difference in age and religion, can this be used against us, and deny his visa because of these differences?

Mr Abdul Aziz you fraud .. Because of you people Pakistani genuine cases gets AP.. I hope your wife get some sense and case on you and debot you to pakistan. Shame on you .. How can you think about another relationship while u r already married with some one.. Just because you need card ? To live there ..

I'm hoping your fiancé get denied and you also get kick out from US and than you can live happily ever after with you current affair in PAkistan..

Totally agree with you 100%!! For people like him is that we all pay the price. Stuck in an AP for nearly one year... And many others that have been in AP for years... But we are all measured the same b/c of people like him.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAdministrative Processing

Hi there! I had my interview last August 8 and was adv to wait for my visa to come. I was not given any add'l instructions by the consul nor a 221g form. he said to wait. Today, I was surprised that my status was changed to AP. this is the exACT message via CEAC:

 

Case Creation Date: 08-Aug-2013 Status Updated Date: 23-Aug-2013    

 

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved after administrative processing, your passport will be delivered by our contracted courier to the address you specified when you booked your interview.

 

I hope to get answers from here.. feeling frustrated todaycray5ol.gif

I want to travel to N.Ireland in possibly the summer of 2013 and I want to know, well obviously I need am American passport which will be my first passport.. but do I need a visa to visit Ireland? And if so, what type of visa and where do I get this visa at?

Do I just need a passport to travel to N.Ireland? I'll be flying into Belfast Intl which is classed as the UK so would I need a UK visa? Or what? :unsure:

Just a passport or some type of visa? I'm going to vacation there with friends I know that live there. Whenever I travel, I will be 17. And just to make sure, I can fly alone, right? Or does that depend on what airline I fly with?
Help is appreciated :) Please and thank you. Hope I didn't forget any information!
