IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMarrying in Pakistan

Hello Jiya,  

   If you are having Nikah or Marriage(Ruksati) I would suggest take as much Pics as you can, and when registering your Nikah nama, also ask for English transcript of it right away, Take 3,4 photo copies of that Nikah Nama and Attest them with Goverment officer, also ask your Husband to be to to make his passport and pics ready . and when you go to Pakistan take the forms 1-130 and G325A , he can sign them and you can bring back with you and submit your papers it will save you heck lot of a time 

 

Below is a link for more requirment for I130 form, have a look at it and gather all the requirment before coming back to US, it will help you submit your papers as early as possible

Sometimes if you fill form online, before they get your mail (or they scan your mail) they send you check list that they did not receive document, wait 1 week more, and call them ask them if they receive document, They will sure say yes ! 

 

So dont worry !

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 after interview to delivery time for Pakistan

It usualy takes about 10 days to recieve. You may want to contact the american express and see if they have it. They are the ones who are suppose to call you to tell you to come pick it up. sometimes they screw things up and can not get a hold of someone at the phone number provided and they will send it back to the embassy so call them and also ask. Also check with the embassy I think there is a phone number for the islamabad embassy but it is virtually impossible to talk to anyone there but you can always give it a try.

I called dem in courier office but dey dint have it I mailed thrice in embassy n dey told dat ur case in process nd u will hear from American courier office soon. It's all very frustrating :(

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionWhich Language to Use During Embassy Interview

Does it make a difference which language is used for the interview. The local mother language or english. My wife speaks both fluently but I wanted to know if it makes any difference in terms of chances of getting your case accepted faster.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussionplease help me with this situation regarding islamabad embassy email

I understand your situation - everyone falls under this situation and they think like you do - its natural - but unfortunately its not how the system works - my US citizen cousin was married more than 2 years ago - he didn't follow instructions and guess what his wife is still waiting over there.

 

Pakistan is not like any other country, our Administrative Processing time is hundreds of times more than what other countries are facing - part of it has to do with the security situation.

shabbera..thanks for your advice,i will do what ever they want i just wanted to ask from VJ members that have any one ever been in this situation?other wise i have no intension to do inverse against isl embassy.
wel i dont mind any opinion and suggestion.i appreciate your input..thanks for your kind reply.

 


shabberaNot TellingPakistan2013-08-27 15:39:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussionplease help me with this situation regarding islamabad embassy email

MY SINCERE ADVISE TO YOU IS - Stop using your brains and DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO DO WORD FOR WORD - if they only ask for Medical then do only that - unless you want to prolong your case necessarily - bottom line is it is not in your control - you can send them a million emails they will put your case for 10 years in the backlog, is that what you are trying to achieve?

 

Just do as they say and wait - honest hardcore advice - hope you don't mind it.

 

i have completed  my 11th month in AP on 25th of august,but i received email from my senators office on august 21 2013 that embassy needs fresh medical from applicant immediatley,so i waited for the email or letter from embassy but i got nothing from there side.so on 25th i sent email to islamabad embassy regarding the email that i received from senator and also i asked them that what other documents do you require(because normally with medical they need DS-230,fresh pics and fresh pcc),but the response i got from embassy is this iam pasting below
(

 Thank you for your email. As per our current record, you need to undergo again for a medical examination from one of our panel  physician. Please consider this correspondence as an official notification to get it done.   Sincerely, IV Unit, Consular Section, US Embassy, Islamabad.  so please my question is this that whyy didnt they asked for fresh ds 230,pcc,and  fresh pics i even sent them email that do you also need above documents but nothing is mentioned about the rest of documents,they only asked for medical. have any one ever been in this situation or they only ask for medical and we have to send them rest by our selves. please i need your input any help will be greatly appreciated....thanks in advance.

US Citizenship General DiscussionN-400 August 2013 Filers

The date I can file 90 days before Feb 23, 2014 turns out to be Nov 25, 2013. My question is since the N-400 applications are taking less than 5 months to process at Newark, NJ - will they begin processing my application the day they receive it. I read somewhere something confusing that even though you submit it early they will still put it on hold or something. Just wanted to make sure about that. You submitted yours in June - was that the 90 day before timeframe or the exact 5 year timing?

 

 

 

If your 5th year anniversary is Feb 2014, then you may file Nov 2013, but be cognizant of the filing date, it shall be within 90 days.

 

Please see this link below, key in your anniversary date it will automatically calculate it for you.

Quick question - I am planning on applying 3 months before my eligibility date (meaning the total 5 yrs), since I am allowed to do that. What date on the processing time would I follow? I plan on applying end of November 2013 while my eligibility date is end of Feb 2014. So will it be November or Feb?

 

Thanks

Hello,

  there is no cheapest way to send anything from Pakistan to US, I would suggest take them with you- it is 80$ per extra luggage, call your airline and ask them, I know it is tough to spend money but this is the better and best way may be airline can also give you discount aswell, but you have to call or may be best is go to their office and talk to them about it, it will help you alot !
