Middle East and North AfricaWedding celebration details in Cairo for those that want to attend!!!
QUOTE (~Flower~ @ May 12 2009, 10:26 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
May 20th Wednesday - I arrive and we go to Faisal and rest at his Sisters house going over the details.

May 21st Thursday - Meet my new friends in Cairo and go shopping with them!

May 22nd Friday - Rent the wedding dress. Meet the family (Mom, Dad, Brothers, Sisters) in Al Zaytoon and check on the details for the celebration with them.

May 23rd Saturday - Wedding celebration day! Take dress to Hair & Make-up place. Then go to wedding portrait place for pictures. Go to hall in the Al Nour Mosque (the light: http://ar.wikipedia....asjed_elnor.jpg). It is next to Waleed's old medical school at Ain Shams (the eye of the sun) University near Abbasya Square. Take pictures outside the Mosque first thing. Celebration in hall before sunset for one hour with video tape rolling.

This is where it's happening. blush.gif It's so beautiful. luv.gif



Ariel Map of location of Mosque and Waleed's old Medical School: http://wikimapia.org...

Afterwords we go check into a hotel to change and then we go back out to an old classy restaurant called the Greek Club or in arabic Alnadi Alyounani and we meet with friends there. Everyone pays for themselves.

May 24th Sunday - Return the dress and stay another night in the hotel.

May 25th Monday - Leave for Hurghada for the summer!

Cost Estimate
:

Hair Make-up for bride: $50

Dress $150

Portraits $50

Hall with Video for one hour $80

Hotel for 2 nights: TBD as we're still looking for an affordable one.

Car to take us around will be provided by his sister's husband.

All the details are tentative but this is our plan. He just needs to make the reservations for everywhere. His sister was at the Mosque earlier when she called him asking him for what day so I guess everything is going ok and we are getting the simple quiet wedding we like after all. I'll let you know for sure when he sends me the note that he made the reservation.

If you have any recommendations on dress shops or hair and make up places to go to please let us know.

Also if you are in Cairo you may call him anytime please and let him know you are coming or if you have suggestions or would like to meet up with us. He will store your number in my phone he got me as well. He asked me who is coming on my side? I said I don't know but I will ask! It would be nice to have someone there for me since my family and friends in the US can not make it.


Awhhhh sounds so wonderful !!
Wished I could be there !! My best wishes to the both of you. rose.gif

Hello Everyone, helpsmilie.gif

I have a couple of question's , I received approval notice Feb. 24,09 And that our case has been sent to NVC. The start of this month I was told to pay the affidavit of support along with processing fee. Which I have done. Question 1) Are their any more fee's, if so how much ? Question 2) What is the next step. And final question , does anyone know approximately how long before my husband's interview.

Thanks in advance to you guy's help. And my best wishes to everyone , and may you all have smooth process on your visa's !!

QUOTE (muslimlady37 @ May 17 2009, 08:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
From your timeline your case has been completed at the NVC. You should be given an interview date. The Consulate Officer (CO) can approve your husband his visa the sameday and he can pick it up the next day. Don't always assume you will go into Administration Processing (AP). Since your husband worked for a security company there at the Embassy that is easy for them to verify his employment. So INSHALLAH your husband will be approved and he will be home with you really soon.


Thanks very much for taking the time to answer my question. rose.gif

Hello Everyone !
My husband's and I case has been sent to NVC, which I assume after we are assigned a consultant. We will get an interview. Which leads me to my question. God willing if my husband's visa is approved , we are prepared that we will go into administration process. My husband worked for a year for the US Embassy in Islamabad , though the security company Wackenhut. And I was wondering being he worked there , if that would help out any with the administration process ?

Good Morning everyone !
Maybe my question is silly, but I was told I have a IR1. Which in my understanding is for people that has been married 2 yrs or more. Our anniversary date is 1-23-07 , when I filed for his visa we were shy of being married by 2 months. And when I left Pakistain we had been married for a year & 5 months. Does the IR-1 still apply to us ?

QUOTE (maghrabi @ Jul 17 2009, 07:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I was there at 6.30 am and I found about 30 or 40 ppl waiting in the front of the embassy and at 7.00 am guy come out from the embassy and asked us to form 2 lines 1 for immigration and one for other kind of visa . and then thay check us and let us enter the embassy visa section 7.30 am they start calling # and after 20 mins they called my # it was an Egyptian woman she was very rude she asked for ma medical and by the way they didn’t even ask about my x-ray . and she give me back ma original documents and took my passport and asked me to go pay for the DHl it's 67 LE and then I go back and wait again and 30 mins later thay call ma 3 again that time was for finger print . and then I set again waiting for the last thing ( interview ) I waited about 4 hours this time and then American woman called my name and she start to ask me normal question's like how and where and how long your wife stayed and where . and in the end she told me you wife don’t meet the income that we need so you need joint sponsor . and then she start to write something on the computer and then she told me now we need joint sponsor . and she gave me my passport back and yellow paper that she was writing and she said that what we need from you and you also have to wait for the AP I was like OMG and she said its normal i asked her how long it will take she said it depends sometimes 2 weeks sometimes more and she said this AP process is done from Washington not from Cairo !!!!!!! and she said we will call you and ask you to send the documents for the joint sponsor and your passport to us .

Now I have some questions

1- how long this AP normally take
2- is there's anyone here was in the same situation like me and what happened with him
3- after you read my interview story is that mean that I'm approved in the interview
4- and is the joint sponsor have to live in the same state ma wife live in

god bless you all and inshallah all u will pass the interview without this stupid AP thing


No the co-sponsor does not have to live in the same state, as far as I know, but the co-sponsor has to be a US citizen or a green card holder. And must meet the poverty guild lines and be able to show their past 3 years W2'S. As for AP, sorry to say, but their is no set time limit. Could be weeks to years. And from the sound of it your approved , as long as you get a co-sponsor that meets the requirements.
My prayers are with you, that you have a speedy AP !

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresWhen embassy ask to submit passport
Ok now I'm completely confused, when talking to my husband yesterday. He told me that the lady that did his interview told him when he sends his police clearance to them , to also submit his passport. She also told him she will process his case. I'm I getting excited for no reason ? Cuz I always assumed that the embassy doesn't ask for passport until they are ready to issue visa. But at the end of his interview he was giving a blue paper saying he needs to submit his original police clearance and he would be put on AP. Why ask for his passport if they are not ready to issue visa ?
Please does anyone know about this ?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureswhere to file I-130
[quote name='Darnell' timestamp='1285694336' post='4209178']
I smell 2 problems -

1. you probably talked with 'local worker' in Islamabad , not any USCitizen, Consular OFficial.
2. USCIS Reps are notoriously misinformed, if you talked with the first person that answered the phone.

Regardless of which country you reside in, you can ALWAYS file an I-130 to the lockbox address in Chicago.

IF Islamabad views yer 'summertime abscence' as truly a big deal, then , IMO, you should accrue 6 months of time in country before attempting to file DCF'd I-130 to the US Embassy. Verify this wish a Consular officer, not any 'local worker'.

Now - dig out a calendar, ya? Some 2010/2011 thingie.

Work up both scenarios

1. wait until 6 months duration in Islamabad, file the DCF'd I-130 versus
2. file the I-130 to the lockbox in Chicago this week.

If you study timelines and timeticks, make these calendar comparisons -
you should see

Yer in for 'about the same' amount of 'waiting time', from 'today' until interview day.

IMO, filing to Chicago is useful for 1 thing, only - you don't have to remain in Pakistan over yer child's winter school break, can get back to USA for a visit.

anyway - work up those 2 calendars, putting in timeticks on each timeline.
Is a good exercise for you - you can gain some knowledge from doing the homework.

--------------
re: I-212 - sorry, I be clueless. You did get some good answers over at http://www.visajourn...or-i-130-first/ though- did you determine IF you needed to file the I-601, or not?

Salam, My husband said to go to your SP district office, ask for application for police clearance. They will forward it to your local police station which they will check to see if you have any record. If not they will send back to SP. There is no fee and will take only a couple of days, maybe less.

I appreciate your time , but I really don't feel, me converting to Islam is a factor of his long AP. As I know of at-least one other case where the wife converted to Islam, and they did not receive AP. As I was writing this Thune's (State Senators) office called , which I asked if they felt his name was causing the long AP. Which they told me, When doing the name check every-time they have a hit on his name, they have to go back and make sure he is not the same person as the hit.

WoW ... You have me totally confused !! What do you mean " Our case category is different" ? He has a IR1, and you mentioned "change of religion category" He has not changed his religion thou I did.

Not rude, realistic.

Seriously, fiance/spousal immigration is a very complex, detail-oriented process. If you are unable or unwilling to read detailed instructions and follow them precisely, you will encounter delays if not outright failure. People here at VJ are very helpful, but there's a minimum expectation that you've read the guides and FAQs and your question is either one of clarification or something not addressed by the guides. If you require handholding through the entire process, expect to pay a lawyer for the privilege.

kba0717's advice was brusque but valuable.

Your very rude !

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresI have a K1 paperwork question, but also need advice - My fiance is giving up hope that we will ever be together :'(

You only need the police certificates for the countries you've lived in, not towns. And they are easy to obtain. The process is long, but if you believe in each other, it's certainly worth it! Good luck.


I'm sorry , but that is not correct. My husband just had his interview on the 7Th. He has lived in Swat
and is now living in Islamabad. He had to obtain police clearance from each Providence.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Visa versus K-3 Spouse Visa
Hello, and welcome to VJ. I'm sorry but I can't give any advise on K-1 visa vs K-3. But these things I do know, as I went to Pakistan to marry my husband and to make my new home. But with my step mother being diagnosed with cancer among other things, I returned back to the states after living in Pakistan for close to 2 years. So ... I will tell you things that I'm aware of ... Your visa for Pakistan will be for 90 days. ( unless it's change since I've been there) Once you have married have your Nikah attested. And also have affidavits ( which are attested) from people that attended your marriage. From his mom and dad is very good. As for how long it will take, no one can tell you including an ATTORNEY. As most cases out of Pakistan are put on AP. I also hired an Attorney, my husband interview was in January. We have now been in AP for 7 months. Sorry , but an attorney does not lessen the waiting time. In fact if you can save your money and do the filing yourself. Only reason I hired one was due to stress and working alot of hours, and did not want to make any mistakes. Mistakes = delays. As for your question regarding police clearance , my husband did not need a request letter from the embassy. I'm assuming the reason they say this, is maybe sum require a request letter. Have your husband try to get the police clearance while he's there. And if they wont give it to him , then he'll have to get a request letter. Also keep in mind that a police clearance is only good for a certain amount of time. I'm not certain how long, so you should read up on it.
I hope I was sum help to you and if you have any more questions you can pm me, I'll do my best to help.
Also ... Keep in mind I'm no professional, I'm only going by my experience Each case is different.
My best to the both of you & wishing you a smooth journey ! (F)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExpedite Request Suggestion

I agree with the suggestion of waiting a few more months...
My fiancée worked for the Department of State and currently she conducts interviews at the US embassy for the exchange students and professors coming to USA on a scholarship, as requested by the US consulate whenever they have interviews scheduled....


And my husband worked for the US embassy. He was in AP over a year !

Are you the US citizen or the non-US fiancee?
