How many days they take to issue one...

and how much the medical cost for IV in karachi
and Which one is a good studio for IV photographs in Karachi


Your help in this regard would be highly appriciated....


Police certifcate is not hard to get, just go to the local police office near your home depend on how they are feeling that day, medical cost depends on the doctor and how many shots you need. and photos just need to be standard required size from any photo place

most importantly relax its going to be easy ride.

Salaam to everyone,

My wife's K3 interview is comming up this June.... the packet says we need to bring the DS-156/230 along with us, is this correct? or do we need to send anything to the embassy prior to interview?

Also, on one of the DS forms they ask if you intend to work in the USA; if my wife doesnt intend to work, should we answer "No"?

Thanks

Yes, She needs to bring with her two copies of DS-156, DS-230 (part I) and I-134 with all the proof.
Don't forget the Parent Info form and the other info they requested.
Yes you will answer no as my wife did the same as she is a house wife

Please pray for the the people from bay area who work for k3 visa and it was started in 2001. they were happened to be some young indians from santa clara county, california

Always remember few indian young men who spend time, money and were very dedicated and had started k3 visa in 1998. they spend almost 3 years to have k3 visa started for every one. they were few young indian men from greater bay area. please remember them in your prayers.

it is better to keep this post informative.otherwise it,s going to be only desi post of pakistanis. there is other places you can go for sher o shairee. it,s a no surprise that when desi come, every one runs away. shon is the only non-desi left on this post. if you want your spouses to get visa quickly, you have to write to congressman and senators. they r the only one can help you. always remember those young indians who created k3 visa. they were from bay area (california). i seen them collecting signatures in front of wall mart. that was back in 1999.

After 2 interviews, 2 bio metrics, 2 medicals, we got 5 e mails for AOS appoval. so far no green card no letters to wellcome to USA. it took 10 months for USCIS to approve my wife,s case. we made several info pass appointments. visited local USCIS about more than 10 times. wrote several letters to every one involved. it was hard work. good luck to every one.

Come on Shon. I used the word ?Completing? mean I am filling that form as a matter of fact I completed all the forms myself but didn?t sign it. I know I am petitioner and she is applicant/Beneficiary. I can fill the forms but not signed it. I think most of USCs done paper work on their spouse behalf.


I dont care what your planning to do thats not my business!
Just letting you know the score! - misrepresentation!!

I did not do the paper work for my husband he can read!!! My husband printed his own form and sent it to NVC and the embassy himself. so the NVC and the Embassy see it came from him and not from me. I rather do this process right the first time without having to add more drama to this hellish process.
make no problems - wont be no problems. Thats how me and my husband both think!


Thanks!!

we had our 2nd interview for AOS. it was very detailed. me and wife were intervied seperately. the lady officer was very mean. i had to stop her couple times and told her to be respectfull, she kept on saying that she is doing her job. she wanted to know if we sleep together, what side of the bed we sleep, favorite food?? how the bedroom looks like, she ask us to draw the pic. of bedroom.
at the end of interview, she gave me a write up to go to civil surgeon and have my wifes, heptitis C checked out. she said my wife was on borderline for heptitis c at islambad, medical check up time. this test is very expensive and takes 7 days to get results.

we have to go for 2nd interview for AOS. looks like if you are paki, they consider you guilty, unless proven innocent. the letter says that the interview will be video taped. i think i have to dress up really nice.we never had any problem at Islamabad.

now mike you had 2 AOS interviews?
dayum are you serious :(??? I am sorry mike. I want Javed to come here on CR1 this AOS
stuff is a big a$z hassle. K-3 is operation waste time. I could see it being a benifit perhaps
to avoid all this wait. but, since its not doing what it said it would do. I certainly, am glad to
be going CR1.

oh wait .. i rember last time they lost your paper work.
they are putting you and your wife through some He11. I am so sorry :(


how common is this??? was anyone else's interview videotaped???

Edited: I just checked out your timeline Mike and realized this 2nd interview is here in the states, right?

2nd interview with video tape is very un-common. usually done when there is a doubt. but we r really married for good.so i would'nt worry.

Hello Guys!

I have reached USA on Oct 17 with the blessings of God & ur best wishes.
I wanna share my POE experience with u guys.

My POE was JFK.
At JFK immigration officer asked abt envelope and i gave it to him.Unfortunately envelope was not in good shape as i got it from embassy.he asked did u open it? I said no.then he sent me to counter#2.there were so many ppl who were waiting for the completion of their immigration.There was another officer took my passport and see it and send me another room.Actually my name got hit in their data base,i have a common name.They took approx. 40mins and they cleared me.The whole process took approx 2 hours.

The immigration process at JFK was not up to the mark only few officers were dealing with so many ppl.I did not find it good at JFK.

I got my connecting flight for florida and i reached here safe & sound.

I called social security yesterday and the officer told me over the phone that i will have to come and apply for it.

Wish u very best of the luck guys! good.gif

my wife has her interview on july 6th. any suggestions.her english is poor. she is nervous.



I had my interview 2 weeks ago, and it really is just a straightforward interview. You are basically asked questions from the application form. If there are no changes in the application form like travel since the application filing or moving violations and speeding tickets, it's mostly NO and the last part YES of the application form. No need then to explain with more words. As for the history exam, my suggestion is that she study all the interview postings of the VJfilers during the last year, and she will notice that most of the interview questions come from a pool of 20 -30 questions. So I would put particular emphasis on these often repeated questions. As for the English written and reading, it's so simple. Same thing, have her look at all the interview postings. Again the pattern seems to be most around 10 or less of the same test questions, like writing "the President lives in the White House" and reading " Who lives in the White House?" , etc. Good luck to her!

where i can get those 20-30 questions. please let me know. thanks
