Asia: South	when have my medical after i get interview date from NVC	Thanks they say 21 days before interview we can have. The problem is that my wife (us citizen is sick) i wanted to have medical earlear so i can request them for early interview.Thats why i wanted it early .I dont know what to do.She have big cysts on overies and she mostly is in big pain. If your plan is to get an early interview date, then start that process with US embassy. So that will give you an idea when you should schedule your medical exam. BTW, for any hospitals in India medical is not a walk-in procedure. You need to make an appointment before going for an exam. Check with hospitals in Pakistan as well.	sunshine_84	Male	India	7/18/2012 16:54
Asia: South	when have my medical after i get interview date from NVC	I already got a letter that from NVC that process at nvc completed my interview is at islamabad embassy on august 27.Can i have my medical done tomorrow.Please let me know.Thanks Most of hospitals in India do require an interview letter sent in mail by US embassy. I don't know about hospitals in Pakistan, but if they do accept interview notification email, then I don't see any problem to get your medical done.	sunshine_84	Male	India	7/18/2012 16:45
Asia: South	i had a dream	I respectfully disagree. This thread is not about religion or policitcs, it's about my individual experience as an AOS applicant who happens to be a Muslim. Dear Valeria, are Muslims precluded or forbidden to post their AOS experience, as opposed to everyone else? I kindly ask Allah to have mercy and compassion on mods and let this thread to stay here! I have known many Muslims, and been good friends with a couple...and yet none of the Muslims I have encountered behave as you do. The issues of your Muslim faith, your piety, your attendance at Mosc, or the idea that you plan to do your prayers in the middle of your interview even...are not appropriate for this area of the forums as they do revolve around a religion.... And before you get into more of the "woe is me" and "persecution" garbage, I would say the same to anyone of any faith that made a thread that revolved entirely around that faith... I am in no need of your prayers for my soul, thanks anyway. Allah has already secured my salvation. Thanks in advance for moving this to the religion section, mods.	jdh	Male	Canada	4/5/2012 11:08
Asia: South	i had a dream	Seriously? Mods, does this belong in this area of the forums? If you read through this guys posts you will see he is all over the place.... Don't feed the trolls, as one forum member advised.	jdh	Male	Canada	4/5/2012 10:35
Asia: South	Help?Where we stand.Red ,yellow or green zone	I suggest you get coached before you go to your interview! reason is not to hide any facts, because facts are just facts but to respond to the question properly with an appropriate answer. Yes I agree with the above response there is a red flags but you as an individual need to prove why your marriage is a bonafide one. I think the fact that she has been living with you in Pakistan for the past 2 years is enough proof. However the interpretation of the interviewer could be differed. Another question is if she has kids that are under the age of 18 who is taking care of them? If your wife is actually a responsible individual wouldn’t her kids be with her rather then as you said above "drunk and abusive" ex? Do not make clams or statements of her ex in the interview that is a sure shot to get a denial. The purpose of the interview first off is to see if your relationship in fact is a bonafide relationship. Second will be to assess the ability for you to be financially independent individual and not become a indemnifiable cost to the government. I think it would be advisable that you ask the board to ask you mock interview questions and how best to address questions in the interview. along with what dwheels76 has said yes its strange you paid for her divorce and you should be prepared to be questioned about that but dont lie about it They know everything or have a way to find out. As long as you can provide without a doubt a good bonafide relationship it should be ok but you will be questioned so plan for direct honest answering Waoh, we think alike! lol!	sn530	Male	Pakistan	7/16/2012 18:31

Asia: South	Change of First Name	I am kind of new to this topic poll. My question is, how important is it to change your first name? When going through my wedding my name wasn't a Muslim name so the decided to change my name to a Muslim name rather than the name I was born with. Should I change my first name? Or can I keep it the same? How important is your first name, name change when it comes to paperwork? Hello, I am not sure if you got your answer already but maybe this will help. "how important is it to change your first name? When going through my wedding my name wasn't a Muslim name so the decided to change my name to a Muslim name rather than the name I was born with. - So, let me get this right you changed your name?... was this officially done with name change registery? - I just re-read your post and it seems that you are a bit confused on NAME CHANGE. 1. What is currenty your registerd name? the one that is used to pull up your Credit History information, the one that is on your drivers license and also the one that is registerd to your social security number. 2. Now that you have already started the process for immigration, the consistancy of your name needs to be maintained. meaning your name needs to be the same on all documents and it should be traceable to history (This being the history most gov. agency's are able to pull on individuals... AKA .. Background Check) If your name is inconsistant in documentation you will be refused, so if the information you are submitting to the immigration is not consistant or you have already submitted some documenation that does not agree with the rest. I Highly suggest you recall your application start again when you have decided what name you want to stay with. Also in the application there is a question of which names have you used previously. Your prior name will be noted there and if it is going to be an issue it will be still represented in the application. GOOD LUCK!	sn530	Male	Pakistan	8/21/2012 11:11

Asia: South	Any Applicant for IR1/CR1 from Pakistan	U dont need any translation once you receive your registered marriage certificate from molvi who did your nikkah send it to nadra and have it registered. cos even nadra in islamabad will have your marriage record once you receive your nikkah nama from nadra it will be like birth certificate it will be in urdu and english both and you don't need any translation extra. If u want to also have it registered from foreign office it will be more authentic but remember nadra provides only one copy make sure you make copies	Mohsin786	Male	Pakistan	6/17/2012 2:16
Asia: South	Should I go to the interview with my husband?	Getting nervous at this point is not going to help anyone. Don't want to sound like a wisea$$, but look at it this way, if you are nervous, imagine what your poor spouse is going through. Be positive and supportive and give him the confidence. Trust me, if you have done your chores, this would be a piece of cake. Don't get a heart attack if by any chance he gets into AP. If you are not aware of AP by now, please know that AP (Advance Processing) is pretty much mandatory for all males of certain countries and unfortunately Bangladesh is in that list. However, though I've seen very few coming out without AP, but this is pretty much for granted. How long AP takes, hmmm, 1 month to 1 year or more. Please don't think that I am trying to scare you or give negative thoughts, rather saying be prepared knowing what could come your way so you don't get surprised. I wish all the best for you and your other half. Just know, being positive is a key part on on the interview process. Check some of the experiences of people lately to get some idea. Good luck	hellraiser	Male	Bangladesh	8/3/2012 14:34
Asia: South	Should I go to the interview with my husband?	If embassy is okay with you being present, I would say go. Even if this don't make any difference, I am sure it will provide moral support for your spouse. However, I am not sure if they would allow you to be in the interview room at the same time, but that should not be an issue at all. If I had the chace, I would :-)	hellraiser	Male	Bangladesh	8/3/2012 9:11
Asia: South	preparing for Interview	Positively rooting on your husbands hope :-)	hellraiser	Male	Bangladesh	8/15/2012 7:20
Asia: South	preparing for Interview	Don't get disappointed as this is pretty standard practice. There are certain countries from which all male applicants go into an automatic AP. There could be some exceptions, but for BD it's pretty much mandatory. I wouldn't give you a rosy picture saying "it will be over soon", but be aware and prepared. If you get out in few weeks to few months, that's a blessing; however, this can take more than 5 months. Lately 3 USC's hubby's came out of AP who did everything the right way, there wasn't any hiccups in their processing, and seemed perfectly okay and it still took more than 5 months. As such just be prepared for the worst, that way you won't panic or get hurt as badly as others. However, the best part of this is, you will eventually get it. The interview is over and you crossed the biggest hurdle of this process. So congratulations on that and you will get another with all caps once he comes out of AP :-) Edited by hellraiser, 13 August 2012 - 01:39 PM.	hellraiser	Male	Bangladesh	8/13/2012 13:35
Asia: South	preparing for Interview	Sounds like you are all set specially with the PCC from UK Just go to the interview with this mindset. Remember AP doesn't mean refusal or rejection or any complication rather some extra additional check. Just takes some extra time and that's all, if your info is good. Good luck for tomorrow.	hellraiser	Male	Bangladesh	8/13/2012 6:14
Asia: South	preparing for Interview	Hi Dont worry about the AP. It is very common for the men of this ages. I was also in AP before i was issued an immigrant visa. It takes generally 1-3 months. i got after 1.5 months. I know how u feel!! but nothing in ur hand. Hope things gonna be ok soon.	N Ahmed	Not Telling	Bangladesh	8/13/2012 7:32

Asia: South	i had a dream	I wish you good rest and I pray you find peace. This process is very stressful for all of us and can cause anyone nightmares. Be sure to take good care of yourself. You are not alone in being upset, stressed, worried and fearful. I think it took courage to share your personal experience and I hope that somehow you feel comfort from doing that.

Asia: South	certificates from pakistan	HI VJ members! 1-My interview is in UAE.Any body how to get police certificate from Pakistan. Somebody you can get from your District police office. My question is it need to be attested from frogien office in Pakistan? 2-How to get Unmarried certificate which departments it need to be attested? thanks First of all you or your family member should visit your local police station and ask them for the police clearance certificate. They will ask for some of your details and then after couple of days they will issue the certificate. it will be a plus point if you will get it attested by foreign office. If you have ever lived in any place other than Kharian for more than six months, you need to get the police certificate from that place as well. After that you should visit the police station in police head office ( guess its near al wasl road because they provide you with the english one) and take it to your interview. About the marital certificate you have to contact Nadra for that. YOu need more information, inbox me.	BA & MG	Male	United Arab Emirates	6/22/2012 9:36

Asia: South	Any Applicant for IR1/CR1 from Pakistan	Hi zara, You do not need translation on Rupee paper. You just need to go to court area and you will find many translators over there. They will give you the format for translation and it will be done on simple paper. For affidavit, they will just stamp the translated papers. My wife did this all for me but i know the process.

Asia: South	Help?Where we stand.Red ,yellow or green zone	In our case, the CO did question where the money for my trips to Pakistan came from and it took me about 2 months after interview to find documentation to satisfy the request. They want to make sure that the petitioner is not receiving payment from the beneficiary's side for a visa. You may need to prove where the money came from like i did. Also, dating before a legal separation may cause a red flag. I was not legally divorced when I met my husband, but I was legally separated. Be very prepared!	talean nawaz	Female	Pakistan	7/16/2012 22:55

I am posting to share my Muslim experience and I want other Muslim applicants to share theirs, so we can mutually help one another to go through this ordeal. Hey there i am from Egypt but not muslim but let me tell u if u gone through the visa process in consulate u can go through anything it is not big of a deal u not the only muslim who immigrated to the U.S there are alot of muslims. if your security and background checks are clean u dont need to worry about anything and maybe u need to stop posting these posts u know these posts can get u in a trouble and make the government more suspicious about u. its just an advice and again u dont need to worry about being a muslim.	love my baby	Male	Egypt	4/5/2012 10:24

Or can I keep it the same? How important is your first name, name change when it comes to paperwork? If your name isn't overly Christian-sounding (like the name Christian, Christina) or it doesn't mean something haram/negative, then I wouldn't worry about officially changing your name. You can just tell your Muslim friends your Islamic name and anyone else you want to call you by that name and they will call you by that name only. There is no need to officially change it and make paperwork more complicated. Why not keep official things straightforward and simple and use your Islamic name in your personal life. I personally made this decision and I am living in Pakistan right now. Everyone calls me by my Islamic name and many don't even know the name I have for passport and documents. It's just not a big deal. I don't have any regrets for not changing it officially, and I don't plan to do in the future. Its completely up to you.	SmilesAbroad	Female	Pakistan	8/20/2012 10:44
