Asia: SouthCall from Embassy 2 weeks before the interview requesting Original Birth certificate!

Hello to all VJers..
I got a phone call from Islamabad embassy and they asked me to get the Original Birth Certificate. Now My wife had already sent them the original(Nadra)birth certificate to NVC and in the instruction package I received from NVC states that they have received my Original birth certificate with a sign "O". So what now, is that normal? Do I go to Nadra and get me another one made as i do have the photocopy of the previous one? I can get that done easily...and it only takes a day or two max to get it from Karachi Nadra office as my interview is on the 14th of this month. Please advise if there's something else I'm supposed to do. Thanks in advance



They may be asking for the actual birth certificate before the NADRA began issuing them. If you have the birth certificate from that take that to them. My husband had one from the hospital where he was born but I think the hospital is no longer there but we took that made certified copies/went to NADRA got one from there as well. Sent both originals into them. (kept copies as backup) Got them back at the interview.

Call them and ask them if that is what they are wanting and if you dont have the original then ask them what they need instead and tell them the NADRA original is with your packet already. See if they have any other options for you.

Good luck to you!

Naseer,

Your wife will need to take her medical a few weeks before her interview. She will take the medical report with her to the interview.

Asia: SouthPublic charge and 221 (g) sections :(

pardon sir.
thank you for your reply sir, Yes they did but i was wondering why they didnt accepted mine and islamabad is still allowing cosponsor as per my knowledge.
Some people here advised me to use i864 and i864a forms and use some other financial documents, like my co-sponsor bank statements and written and attested statement from my cosponsor.
Will it help sir?<br>



so if they do live in a same household better to used form I-864A :thumbs:

please read this link to give you more idea why you needed to use I-864A instead of the I-864.

thanks :) im half filipino and half desi!!! i never been to Philippines :D

Can you please tell me from your experience if i can use i864 in k1 visa?



yes you can...your co-sponsor should sign this form NOT your fiance...REMEMBER to send BOTH FORMS the I-1864(this form should sign by your co-sponsor) and the I-134(this form sign by your fiance).


also make sure to use the right form..they are two forms I-864....I-864 and the I-864A.

the difference between in this 2forms is that form(I-864A) IF the sponsor and co-sponsor live together and the other one is NOT live in the same household(I-864)...so please don't confused yourself :thumbs:

goodluck :thumbs:

Oh no :(

Your co-sponsor should use form I-864 instead of the I-134...it makes big different. but ofcourse together with I-134 form for your fiance.

my suggestion try sending that form also maybe your fiancé want's to find a full time job just in case.

Let just pray that things will be okay...ingat B-)

Asia: SouthIndia PCC Questions....

Hi,

I am also in the process of getting my PCC from Bangalore and after numerous trips to the local police station, they have just sent the document to the Commissioner's office for uploading so that the PSK can then issue the PCC to me.

I have two questions -

1. Why are there two types of PCC. Will it suffice if I just get the PCC from the PSK?

2. In the G-325A form we mentioned that we also lived in another part of India for 6 months. Do we need to go to the Commsioner's office there also to get another PCC? The problem is that we do not have any proof of address from this other place...we were just staying with friends and do not have any official papers to show that we were residing there....what to do in this case?

Thank you for your opinion on this.



you need PCC from regional Passport office not from PSK

1. Yes send the photocooy get the original in the meantime also if it needs translation get that done.

2. You have 2 options here. One would be to not submit the i134 because disability is not considered actual income in some cases so don't send anything now . Other option is send what you have and gather the remaining items needed to complete packet.

Pm me for a list of items to send.

Asia: South'B' Form Needed for Pakistani Applicants?
who is requesting the documents and for what purpose?

1. Do Pakistani spouse visa applicants need to submit the B Form when civil documents are requested if they are above 18 years of age
I Hope your spouse is over the age of 18... most countries its illegal to marry someone under the age of 18 without parental consent

2. You can translate the form yourself there is a letter/form that you need to attach with the translation saying you are fluent in both languages and attest the translation is correct.

3. Best thing to do is get whatever documentation from NADRA, that is the primary resource the embassy uses for referances and background check.

Could you please tell us what you are appliying for? CR1? or some other sort of visa?

Its already moved to the Regional forum dont need to do anything.

try using this to see what the status of your passport is.

http://aegusvisa.com....aspx?PageID=17

thats the link to the american express website it will show you update on what the status is when they recieve it.
just put you passport NUMBER in there including the letters example BW1234567.
if it shows up as "record not found" or someting then try another day sometimes the server is down.

Asia: SouthK1 Visa after the interview is done.
Hey congratuations on the interview, Generally if they are going to put it in Admin Process you will recieve a paper with instruction on what will happen etc. But it seems like you were given the information on how to collect your passport. The responce the Agent provided you was a valid one they are not permitted to promise anything and they really cant because they are not the one handling anything besides processing your papers at the interview.

Also i looked at other peoples time frame it takes about 15 to 20 days after the interview for the visa to be recieved. Also keep in mind sometimes randome holidays and political events tend to slow down the processes and mail.

Keep your spirit up Inshallah you will get your passport with a visa very soon!

Thats a bit extensive! who the heck keeps the original nikahnama of a previous marrage... you shoudl tell the CO that you had a bond fire and burnt all the previous items out of anger to relieve your fustrations! .... if you have it thats great! i hope you can gather those thigns.

Asia: SouthPhone call from US embassy Islamabad prior to interview!
when they are asking for "original" that means they want the authetic document that you have, NOT a PHOTOCOPY! so just take the Original document with you incase they want to see it thats the only reason they are asking for it. For example the Birthcertificate they ask everyone to submitt an ORIGINAL not a photocopy its the same scenario here. The main purpose they ask for originals is to inspect that they are official and not a forged photocopy.

Please write in your own words about 3 to 4 small paragraphs as to why you want to marry this person.
Explain some commonalities between the two of you.
Explain how much you live each other. When did you both meet and how happy your families are for this relationship.

Make sure both of you submit one each and write in your own words.

I do have my divorce certificate. It was issued by Union Council but on NADRA paper. It is in English & Urdu on same page.
I was not given anything in Urdu (like the one you attached Union Council Urdu notice of divorce effected). Would I need to get that too? If yes, then how and who will give?
Note: The Secretary at Union Council was already a royal pain in the bottom .... You know how things are in Pakistan :(

Saj and Anam,

I was born in 1986 and came to the U.S. in 1988. I am currently in NYC. Is it possible/necessary for me to still have a NADRA I.D. card made?

I want to make it easiest on my wife as I can, but they won't accept my NY State I.D. and I am not in PK. I am only an American Citizen and she is only a PK citizen.

Your help is much appreciated and thank you very much for sharing your experience. It is very helpful...

Please correct me if I am not doing this right.

If you were born in pakistan, then you must have birth certificate from their. Following link might help you

In above link, you will find information for POC card, i think it will solve your issue.
