Asia: SouthGeneral Tips (U.S. embassy in Islamabad - K1 visa)


Hey,
 

Here are some tips that will hopefully help those who are going through the pre-interview phase: 

 

1. Arrange all your documents as properly as possible.  When you receive your packet 3.5, make sure you send all the documents in an orderly manner.  The more professional your work is, the better impression you'll leave on the consular officer.  Also, I think it's a good idea to include a cover letter in the beginning, which states the complete list of documents you're mailing to the embassy. It'll help the embassy to go through your documents easily.  I also submitted additional pictures of me and my fiance to the embassy along with other documents for packet 3.5.  

 

2. Before your interview, go through all the documents you've submitted throughout the visa process thoroughly.  

 

3. You should also ensure that you bring all the documents asked in the interview letter.  I personally took the complete I-129F petition, all the forms submitted for packet 3.5, medical report, NIC, all passports, two photos, and evidence of our relationship with me.  It's always better to be safe than sorry.  

 

4. Irrespective of what time your interview is, you should reach the embassy around 7:00 a.m.  The earlier you reach the embassy, the sooner you get done with your interview.

 

5. Dress nicely and professionally.  It leaves a good impression on the consular officer.

 

6. Prepare well and know as much about your fiance as possible.  You should put in intense efforts on your part and leave the rest to God.  If your case is genuine and you have done your work well, you have nothing to worry about.  

 

7. I came across a number of people who didn't read the instructions sent by the embassy properly, which delayed their cases.  Read all the mails/emails sent by the embassy very carefully.

 

8. During your interview, answer all the questions very genuinely and remain calm and focused.  Also, make an eye contact with the consular officer and greet him/her in the beginning.

 

Alhamdulillah, my interview went well and I got approved. Shukar Allah.  I was asked only two questions: How did you meet and when is the wedding.  Alhamdulillah.

 

If you have any questions, please post them below.  I'll try to answer them at my earliest convenience.

 

Best of luck and Allah Hafiz!

Asia: SouthUSC need visa for Pakistan if married to Pakistan citizen (split topic)

If she is coming from the US, all she needs to do is fill out a application and she gets 45 days & double entry coming to 90 days. I never submit anything just the application and photos. I have gotten 6 month visa's but you have to tell them a reason for a long stay and show a ticket for longer than 1 month.

Asia: SouthUSC need visa for Pakistan if married to Pakistan citizen (split topic)

Brother visa cost $120.00 for 5 years (multiple entry visa). She better make NICOP card in PAK cost 5500 rps (urgent service in 1 week). Don't make it from USA because they lost the mails and you have to make it again and they don't give you refund for that.


Shamroz KadiwalMalePakistan1/12/2014 21:31
Asia: SouthUSC need visa for Pakistan if married to Pakistan citizen (split topic)

Seem like she is a US citizen. if so, then there are two ways.

1:) US passport + PAK VISA = travel to PAK
2:) US passport + NICOP card 
(National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis) = No visa need, can travel to PAK without visa.

 

Marriage certificate doesn't grant to travel to PAK.

Well The fiancé(e) K-1 is a nonimmigrant visa, mine is k1 and stated "immigrant" for 6 months during AP up until 2 days ago and now it's changed to nonimmigrant and Ready
To be honest I don't understand the change either

Asia: SouthAP for 6 months and now READY for interview?!!!!!!!!!
Hi everyone
I had my interview on 31of July 2013 and I was put on AP ever since
My case creation date was 03/June/2013

Today my case status is changed to READY and the case creation is changed to 30/Jan/2014
Why creation date of my case is changed? Does this mean I have to wait for another 6 months in AP?
It was immigrant visa application and now it's NON immigrant visa application!!!!

The CEAC Status reads:

Ready
Your case is open and ready for your interview, fingerprints, and required documents. If you have already had your interview, please check your status after two business days. If no interview was required, please check back in to business days for the status of your application

Can you pleeeeeeeeeease help me understand this

Asia: SouthIB-1 visa?
Hey Everyone!
Visajourney helped me alot in the most difficult procedure of filing vawa from another country and getting it approved!
A bit history of my case for a clear picture..
My I-360 VAWA was approved few months back; I applied it from outside US. Later, my file was mistakenly sent to National Record center which was pulled out by the help of a senator. Received case number, paid fees and sent DS-230 forms just yesterday! My approval notice and cover sheet says that my visa category is IB-1. I can understand that it is a self petition battered spouse category. I am now expecting NVC to complete the case and assign me the interview date. Now the question is
What documents I will have to take to the US embassy for interview? As its VAWA approved, will I need to show them prove of abuse again? Will they ask queries about the abusive relationship? What questions I should expect from US embassy in my country? I know they ask about work and all for fiance and marriage but as an abused separated spouse of USC what I should expect from interviewer's when it is IB-1 visa?
Thanks again for reading this :)
