no should be excited. i would be.

good luck to SQTB, or is it SBQT. He has interview on friday for k3. GOOD LUCK to you. I will pray for you.

Good Luck on Fridays interview !

Good luck on your upcoming interview.

I just realized something! Its almost been two months and no approvals from the embassy in Islamabad from this forum! Very strange!

Michigan there are very few peoples from Pakistan visit to this forum as compare to the applications processed by Islamabad embassy. Don’t worry inshallah you will hear good news soon.

Probably DOS have alot of visa security checks and they are very busy with this...update is DOS sent my security check to washington..,thats all i heard from them yet..,

jen was nice enough to make this flow chart for us.. soo here goes..

Assalam-o-Alaikum WRWB.
Okay, thanks Hafiz30, for your message. I wanted to thank you on the forum, rather than in personal message, for keeping in touch with all Paki's by occasionally sending messages.
Well it has happened to me quite a few times that I get really really frustrated when I think of things that can go wrong which may, ALLAH forbids, delay her arrival here. And I guess this may happen to many going through this process. But everytime I tell myself that this situation is just temporary and I get over it.
But I was reading Psoft's reply in which he mentioned that doctor can cancel or delay medical if applicant is expecting!!!!!!!!!! wow if that happenes, I dont know how will we be able to handle that, because she asks everyday whether I got approval or not???? I tell her it will take just few more weeks, because I think if I tell her its gonna take months before she comes to me, she will just cry day and night, so I always tell her just few more weeks.
Anyways, I hope everyone else is coping with this stress the best they can. I do know some are strgoner than others, but I guess we are not that strong, may ALLAH give all of us strength, AAMEEN.
If they dont move forward very fast with K3s now, i guess I will have to just resign and go to Pakistan and be with her, and come back with her and start new job search.

What was Anil Kapoor thinking when he sang:
Mere pyar main, mere intizaar main, such such kaho tum nay kia kiaaaaaaaa????????
Kabhi bhoola kabhi yaad kiaaaa.......

I guess we dont have the "Kabhi bhoola" part in our stories, we should say:

Tere pyaar main tere intizaar main such such kahoon main nay kia kiaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
Nahi bhoola bas yaad kia..................

Well sorry Mr. kapoor for editing your song but if you go through, USCIS, I-130s, I-129Fs, NVC, NOA1s, NOA2s, etc. you will also like our version of this song.

THNAKS. I think when all of our families come here, INSHA ALLAH very soon, we should have a get together. I am inviting all of you in advance, to come visit us in Virginia.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALLAH HAFIZ
Assalam-o-Alaikum

yes its hard to explain to wife why its taking so long. especially in your situation. But that k3 i dont know it takes anywhere from 4-7 months given everything flows good. lets keep our hopes up.

dont worry inshallah everything will work out for you. What city is your wife in? If she is in karachi then there are other places she can go for her medical and if there is a doctor that you know thats can do the medical there wont be any problems what so ever. I think we used to have a member IA12 whose wife was expecting at the time of the interview and it worked out in his favor cause he got an early interview date.
so I m sure Allah will make everything good for you and for everyone who is going thru islamabad...ameen

AOA...
Just wanted to add something for you guys...
Please send me your interview experience so I can add your experiences in the page thats showed in my signature.....all of you are welcome to take a look at it.....
good luck to you all!

Hi everyone.

wow!!!!its been a long time since i posted in this site. so much has happened since last time i did. its been six months since my husband got here and its even hard to remember the hellish 15 months that we were apart waiting for his visa. we have so many new members. good to see that mary finally has her visa and sad to see that shon is still waiting on her husbands visa. one thing for everyone once its over its all worth it. this whole process makes you stronger as a couple and makes you appreciate each other more. everything is going okay with me. we have had our shares of good thing and bad things happening. i had a promotion at work and of course bad thing was getting pregnant and having a miscarriage. now my husband is getting ready to take his usmle step 1 exam on the 22nd so he is busy these days with exam and i have more time on my hand to log onto vj. well good luck to everyone. may everyone be reunited soon. good luck. shamaila.

good to see you posting back Shamaila!!

Shamaila it is good to hear from you too. I am sorry to hear of your loss of pregnancy and wish you all the best for a healthy one in the near future. I love to hear updates and had mentioned to Shon earlier that I had not seen or heard you post and we both were hoping all was well.

It is very hard the separation and we all have some bumps once we are reunited but like you said it does make the bonds much stronger. And it does seem to ease the heartaches and make the worries a thing of the past once you are together and can face life together.

Please take care and post when you can. I come and try and keep up with the friends I have made on VJ and be a cheerleader for the ones that are still in processing.

Mary

Sorry double posted.

Mary

Wsalam brother, sister it is alwyas good to see your posts ...!!! by the way thanks for support ....

Your support and encouragement are always appreciated - thanks VJ-ISL vets for thinking of us!!

Just in case...My name is Joel

omg only 1 month for AR/AP? CRAZY.

who are you talking about?

hang in there. we all have our melting points. I for sure had mine today.
I miss my bingo - I really wish he could be with me too. I have decided to do something.
that is trying to get new amendments passed so that way another family dont have to experiance what we have- being apart for so long. over 10 months of AR/AP is crap. trust me I have been contacting those in areas to make change to try to get somethign effective - I dont want when Javed come here we have to wait like this ever again all because of a freaking name check.




well I will be a monkeys Aunti- joel posted. Hi Joel welcome back to VJ.
how is the baby?



hi shamaila its good to see you posted. sorry about your loss. how are you coping? for me it was very hard. I had 2 back to back losses. what I did was planted a plant for my babies. to rember them. this helped me cope. stay strong ok.

good luck for hubbys exam.




ditto
its nice to see those before us come back and bring us good vibes....always appreciated for sure..

thanks Shon.....She is doing great alhamdoliallah!

So sorry to see you still waiting for the visa....hope they jump on it pretty quick....

I hope so....please pray for us.
I begged for help- last night. I pray I get that i get the help I asked for..

sorry on your loss. Stay strong.

Good luck for ur USMLE.
I know its all Nature's decision but wondering how a Dr. 's wife has also gone through this bad phase.

Well, other way round, it makes our beleive stronger that there is SOME SUPREME power who has all the deicisions.
May Allah bless us all. Amen

-Dude

i'm back

There are all kinds of reasons a loss can happen. I can tell you one of mine was a tubal. there is no way to save a tubal. its actully the baby is killing the mama. so the Dr. has to remove the baby or mama will die.
another situation for me was there was 2 babies in there. one was not growing but, then later the other got too weak and stopped growing. the Dr said the baby was sucking the life out of the other one. its a natural thing really.



where you been junaid?

u r rite.
Even a dr. told me that Nature aborts automatically in 1st month. And we think it as part of regular cycle.


-Dude

Assalam-o-Alaikum WRWB
I see preceding discussions are about loss of babies so I'll add something to it first. I think that almighty ALLAH has the final decision on when he wants to bring a new life to this world. Whatever the reason is, we must be thankful to him, and I know he always does things for our good, while we might not know it.
The same principle could also be applied to our immigration situations. I agree with all of you that this painful seperation does bring alotttttttt of appreciation for each other, while deepening the love, the care, the trust. So as hard and bad as the wait seems, it does have good things for us.
As a man I am pretty strong, ALHAMDULILLAH, and understand that the end of this journey is nothing but joy, INSHA ALLAH. But, i guess, all men would agree, when your wife cries like a baby, that time its hard to find strength.
Anyways just to release your stress here's a USCIS joke from jay leno



You read about all these terrorists - most of them came here legally, but they hung around on these expired visas, some for as long as 10-15 years.

Now, compare that to Blockbuster: you’re two days late with a video and those people are all over you. Let’s put Blockbuster in charge of immigration.

thaat is soo true!

By the way I forgot to tell: I am from Hyderabad, but still my shoni would have to use doctors in Karachi for medical. Are there many in karachi????????? I know only one in clifton.

I'm sure it's a difficult time for her (as well as you) especially in light of her being pregnant - poor thing Insha'Allah you'll get through this smoothly and swiftly!

great joke lol. that is so true. lol

Goto Aga Khan University Hospital, one of the best hospitals you'll ever goto.

Wife had the interview. They said she will get her passport back next week with the visa.

I'm still a little nervous...can something still go wrong?

Congratulations she should have her visa in few days and it will be fine. Ladies do not have the issues of getting their visas like the men. Now time to plan for her homecoming.

Mary

congrats!!! inshallah shouldnt be any problems....!!

i've been around. busy working, and all that other good stuff.

Alhamdulilah - congrats!!! The hard part is over insha'Allah.

Congrats!!!!

Congratulations !! Inshallah your wife will get her passport with visa on it.

Could you please ask your wife to just provide us her interview experience it would be great help.



Agha Khan hospital one of the best hospital is this a joke? Or you belong to that community

what better hospital is there in khi than agha khan?

Here is an update. I had to rush off the moment I found this out. I had been getting ready for work when I found out. anyways...

I called the DOS. they said that on June 30th -ISL requested a follow up on our pending security check.
well a few days ago. Ironicly, I called some big cheeze wiz about our case. ohhh man this person was pizzed at me. after begging and pleading I got the much needed help at this point we are CLEARED
- let me say that chit again.. WE ARE CLEARED- THE SECURITY freaaaaaaaaaaaaaking checks. now, we are waiting for ISL to respond to the CABLE and make a dayum decison. yall are the first to know. Javed dont know yet. he likes to turn his cell phone off when he sleeping- the nerve of him
I wanted to share this important news with you all. so hopefully we get this done next week. sinceee Javed medical expired we gotta get another one dayuummmm itt.. its ok..

Shonnie sounds like good news to me and tell Bingo that Mingie says how dare him turn off his cell to sleep.

Wow Shon-
Thats awesome news:)
Hopefully Javed will be with you real soon now, Insha Allah-let us know his reaction too!
