TWO words for SHON and Michigan..
Cindi and Manzar SHAH= 18 months of bs
togtether at least for the last 3-4 months

You two be strong, tell Javed quit whining , his life is better off than before 3 years ago, because we
ther you are here or there you are in his life

and michigan, look at borther Mo 9 or 10 months on AR and he has been running around in the california sun for that last 6 months.

when you have to adjust to Goras world then you willb e missing the homeland, enjoy time with your family, it could be a few years before you can go back to visity PK.i dont trust these travel waivers to send Manzar back home for his little brothers wedding

In the off topic posts there was more good news to share from Islamabad today. :dance: :dance:

Dood Wala's brother is finally off AR and will have his visa in hand within 2 weeks hopefully.

Shonjaved also was blessed with their CR1 case should have visa in hand within weeks.

Good luck to everyone that is waiting and hopefully the embassy will continue to release AR and AP cases. :thumbs:
Also heard they needed visa stickers and that is the holdup.



NOte to SHON
CAll Headquarters, tell them about that thing, they know what it is, its the machine that prints the stickers, express the items to Islamabad ASAP.. tell them your the boss, and you have it on h ighest authority :thumbs: :yes:

OH good grief Laney.. those Jokers..***&^

tell them you are on a k-3, USCIS will have plenty of time in the states to question the meshing or married life as AoS will be processed here.. good grief ,you have been with him in Pakistan how many times ?? 2 or 3? tell them that DOS said security checks are complete, If all is fine, then just give the visa stamp...Update the senator on this current request from Isl. have his/her liason send in the fax or email support this week, before he heads down for another interview.. even if he interviews you will have all your current chat records, of etc, and history of updtaed pictures, Inshallah all will be fine, sounds like it will be, ISL just likes to put up road blocks and red flags, ..If it is another interview/ co , he/she can order another check, try to block this as much as you can..or even call them and tell them that it seems to you they are being way prejudical and inhumane ( :whistle: )
good luck (F)

basically, they called him early in morning, he did not get the call, then when he called me his home phone rang and it was them, told him to come down today bring passport. he got there they took passport, made him wait a few hours, handed it back with visa stamp. said ALLAH HAFIZ, its stamped until Julay 7th.. He said that there were many called down/ visas :dance:

Salaam,
I can not believe I found this thread on the fifth page?? Has Pakistanis given up on Immigrating to the United States. ??

well wanted to stop in and say. Sister Fatimah Mary how is it going??

Of course immigration lost his paperwork for citizenship last october. However did gind it and Manzar has testing and interview for citizen ship on May 27th Alhamdullilah its almost over.

Marraige doing fine after all its Pakistani-Gori !!! Hooray for diverse marriages. bridging gaps, building understanding!!
Since then he has became top seller , and has started a business with a friend which Alhamdullilah is up to 3 warehouses. WOW

We are selling this house of soo many yrs and moving to North of Philadelphia for a few yrs, and transfer different places around country to set up same business. Which is great for me if i want to continue my healthcare career.

My parents which I was taking care of sadly passed away, two weeks apart in December.

thats about it from out side
Best wishes for all
ALLAH HAFIZ

5 hrs at jfk with the rest of the europeans. takes them that long to figure it out, after all the back ground checks and so on, one consulate official one person @ the airport can stop just like that. wow. ned way he made it and it makes you not wnt to go back until he is full fledged citizen.

Laney , yes time goes fast.. Holidays bring back homesickness. now even for me ,( but then again 2 months in pk me ready to head back to states where i can drive around freely again lol) . Funny thing though I hang with the sisters, and etc friends over there, while he does his business or chats or catches up with all the friends and family memebers n, I shy away from him in markets, coz he looks like the American in his Ralph Loren and etc. ( naww he not spoiled he helps manage a dept in major dept store, so he gets huge discounts etc.. got primp up) Anyway, Im glad to hear yhe old sisters doing well here. With all the talk about foreign spouses I wanted to share a little bit about personal pics and life , to show that a family is family no matter who or where. There is good times and stories to share on both sides of the world and cultures. Some of the conflicts, and misunderstandings have been major concern over past 4 yrs, resolutions quick and respectable. Isnt that what marriage about. coming to agreements and not being selfish, also not giving up whole identity to make other happy. Continued happy endings for all!! Wa Salaams

so then use your pakistani passport goingback to Pk, then us passport on return home. Manzar filing for naturalization soon, good information. Also you have to stay in usa when you retire to get social security? ( something we need to know in 20 yrs or so when he is old babji) we have nice home in Pakistran would like to do our snow bird to warmer weather there 5 months our of the yr.

On the porifle thing, check timelines, seems pk males have longer AP and visa wait times. Even thought that horrible 9-1-1 time was mostly Arab nations terrorists. just my 2 cents. Immigration check points and waiting room etc very kind to husband and I. Just takes awhile 2 hrs upon reentrance to usa. so Now I mentionthis to nwa to get a later flight out of MSP to home. BY then 20 hrs later leaving ISL we are tired, hungry need refresh and have to go through luggage , get questions, go through many security checks. we are often few on the flight from London who go through this. London not usual big hassel, only the Brits are often making fun and laughing at us or being rude to me . maybe bcoz me a gori wife. who knows. I want to smack them. last time though they had a nice pakistni female at the desk who held the plane a few minutes for us at the emrirates desk. next time we are going direct no stop at London (heathrow an old mess they are remodling, no help or signs on where to go, make you take a bus and all that yada) anyway next time home we are going through Abu Dhabi on Etihad , direct from Chicago.

On the recieving end, If Im alone, I am lucky that my brother in law works at Benazir Bhutto airport. Bcozthey take some time to ask questions and clear Goris through that airport on entrance to PK (they do serve a nice Chai ) ahh Pakistani manners and hosting, best in world!!

On way back , Usa didnt give me bad time about my swords or decorative hookahs, It was the Pakistani customs which did.(still even though i was in VIP section) Nice that they are looking out on thier end for trouble makers. So I do see your point little brother. You never know when smart azz from India/PK could be posing as Sharukh to get in to Usa easily and maybe cause trouble. Why he wasnt travelling with his gaurds and etc. assistants. seems like he was alone , and they provided security at the conventions.

Ok as you like, so you as a Pakistani male or south asian with muslim name, dont mind being pulled aside for 2 hours, in a room, missing connecting flight. and having to pay for another flight out at a later time?? while all others get to go easily through. especially if you travel the world freely and around america freely?? whatever floats your boat. the issue was not what they did to him, its more like what theydo to us brother hot head.

Uh Pakistani marrying another Pakistani not a real problem. USCIS knows well how y ou roll with arranged marriages. No need to show embassy whole pic albums etc. make process go squick and easy, so others can get through. lolz wow some OCD lil pakistani fellows up in here these days.

I showed my fiancee in a towel with me, Korea ol whats her name the dept head @ Islammabad was not impressed. too much proof of relations.

PS. guys with wives, less likely to be threat to society. so stamp those wife visas!!!
