29'000 is enough for a 4 person household, just- remember that if you are under, they MUST deny- if you are just a little bit over, they can still use their discretion to deny.

Asia: SouthTraveling Abroad With Wife's Expired Green Card To Bangladesh
We were in the same boat a few years ago, the green card had expired with the ROC already file and waiting. So we made an appt to the INS office and recalled they put a stamp on the passport but don't recalled if it was 90 days or a year since we told them when and for how long we would be out of the country.

On the way back there was no problem at all, only show the passport and the expired green card

Hello folks,

I am U.S Citizen & my wife is the green card holder. Her card expired 6 months ago & we are on the pending list of " Removing Conditions on Residency" with Vermont Service Center .Our return ticket is already confirmed via Emirates Airways. We have received the 1 year extension letter & we have the expired green card also. I am wondering on our way back to the U.S will the customs at Bangladesh airport inquire about re-entry visa to US? My wife passport has the the CR1 expired visa stamp along with the expired green card & extension letter. We will also carry the biometrics appointment letter (wife took finger print already).

I have already asked the same question on another forum (Link Below) & got the answer as well but, I would like to know from someone's personal experiences traveling to Bangladesh with expired green card. Any feed back is extremely appreciated.

NO you do not need to notorize any of the things submitted. Just make sure you submitt the items listed below. Its also best to write a letter listing the content included in the packet 3.5 and a case number identifiying the case.

1. Form DS-156 (Printed Online) 2 Sets.
2. Form DS-156K (Only for Fiance Visa)
3. Form DS-157 (for non-immigrant visa)
4. Form DS-230 (Part 1) Only.
5. Police certificate.
6. Birth Certificate (Original, Translation and one copy of each).
7. Credible evidence of Financial Support in the US. (i-134) and petetioners last year Tax returns. (include copy of W2's, Bank Statements, Pay Stubs (last 3 months))
8. Copy of Passport.

Asia: SouthCo-Sponcer for K1 visa Pakistan

No. We are still in AP and waiting to hear if they will accept the documents I sent . I found online that they should accept not only wages, but also my bank account , and the value of my home which I own. However , the embassy is saying they will only take my wages which alone does not meet the financial requirements.

I sent them a link to their own government site , showing that yes they should accept bank accounts and personal property ( my house ) now I am just waiting for a response.



They will only accept the equity in the home so if you own it free and clear of financial obligation there will be additional documentation that can be submitted to prove the financial stability.

It means there isn't any kind of US Law which doesn't allow co-sponsorship for K1 Visa for Pakistan if I am not wrong it all depends on the CO either he/she prove co-sponsor or decline but i am not satisfied with above mention Answers still haven't got the clear image yet . need more comments please .



You should search this topic this has been discussed a lot because of the recent experiances at interviews. The reality is there is NO regulations that clearly define this, sometimes they allow it and other time they refuse. Something similar to the Admin Process which can take 2 to 3 weeks others have been on it for years! Good luck with searching for an answer if you get clarification please share it with us.

Another alternative would be to ask the embassy, below is a link to resources of contacting the embassy.

One of the member’s asked the embassy for clarification on the view the embassy replied "the use of a cosponsors is to the discretion of the interviewing agent" so in essense it is totally up to the interviewing agent. Generally if they do not see any other issues with the case they will not bring this up as a issue.

You don't have to pay any fee along with Packet 3.5 except the courier charges there at the American Express or Speedex, which wouldn't be more than 2000 PKR.

Asia: SouthHelp on Divorce Certificate AFTER 2nd marriage please

it didn't go through an imam. Why would an imam be required? I typed it up myself, signed it and mailed it to her. I'm seeking paperwork WITHIN Karachi, not in the USA or Canada. You can be from mars and getting a divorce certificate in Karachi is the same as a US citizen getting a divorce certificate in karachi. I retained an attorney to sponsor my wife, but even he does not know what to do in a scenario such as mine since the divorce took place in 2007 and I have no documented proof of it. He said if I apply NOW for the divorce, and it gets dated to current timing, then my marriage becomes null and void.


Again you didnt did right way..thats your problem...this is not mine busissness, but lot question raised about you...sorry for the truth and dont get mad about other opinions

Asia: SouthHelp on Divorce Certificate AFTER 2nd marriage please

What paper are you referring to? I talaqed her in accordance with Islam and sent her a talaq letter. I had no clue since I don't live in Karachi that a legal procedure or any type of procedure is required. Nor did she mention anything. We verballly divorced and I sent her a letter and our lives together ended right there. She never received her visa because i cancelled her sponsorship right away.



I know what you saying dude, I belong to the system thats why I asked you. You think that you just sent a type letter yourself and send her that you divorced her and not registered your divore? In this case divorce happen, but you need to prove certen things also, and then you didnt register in local union (which is basic, and not sure how was telling you not to follow right process)so now you cant get any certtification dated 2007..sorry dude you didnt did right way... nothing can be done and you didnt follow right process.

Asia: SouthHelp on Divorce Certificate AFTER 2nd marriage please

I am a Canadian Citizen newly married with a girl residing n Karachi a few months ago, however I cannot start her sponsorship yet. I was married to another girl in 2007 (also in Karachi) and a few months later we divorced (in 2007). She never received her visa because I cancelled it after we divorced. Problem is I didn't know there was a legal procedure involved or any certificates required. I just realized I need a divorce certificate regarding my previous marriage now. How can I obtain a pre-dated divorce certificate dated back to 2007?

I would really appreciate any and all help, PLEASE. I'm afraid if I go to the Union Council now they will date it as if we just got divorced which is incorrect and will totally nullify my current marriage. I also hear it takes months to get anything from them. What do I do? How do i convince Union Council that I divorced my ex-wife in 2007? My ex-wife has re-married since and I have no idea where she is.



I am not sure what to say: about what you saying above. I am sure you granted a final paper at that time, so use that one, IF you going to say you cant find or not sure where is... then I think something not right.. You have to show a paper to union con.. they can issue you certficate as of today, but will show date of divorce 2007.

Asia: Southwhat is required income for affidavit of suport?? we r 4 person...! including my 2 kids...! and i am a petitioner...!

ok so here is what i think you can do.. your 25k will only count as 5k( because when you use your saving account or other assets, they must be five times more than the required annual income) and that 5K will be added to your 15,000 that you made last year.... that will make it 20,000 but still you are below the required amount.

I think you should try to get Co- sponsor who makes atleast 40 K. even 30 K could be enough but your 20K even with the saving will not be enough.

I think if you are making more this year, and you add the 5K into that... will that be 30K? i dont think so... therefore i dont think it will be enough.. YOU MUST GET A Co- Sponsor to help you or your case will be denied.

I have had long discussion with our law firm's immigration attorney over this and she informed me that if you are barely meeting the requirement, they can still deny your case. so make sure you not only get to the minimum but also have little more than minimum.
