Okay. a member "Fak" just got his K3 date for Islamabad embassy. I have invited him to come here and post. My belief is that he got date for just few weeks. Anyways, I hope he comes and posts date here.

O'MUNDYON!!!!!!!! JAB CHANN CHARHE GA TAY DUNYA WEKHAY GEE

babybunny!!!!!!!! where is Javed? why isn't he posting anyomre? It would be nice to chat with him about Pakistan.

Javed will post when he is able. he is a busy guy at work. I am lucky when we do talk to each other.

Did anyone have their police report issued when they were not in Pakistan. I am here in Canada, if I go through the embassy it takes about 3 months. I am not sure if they would issue it without me being present in Pakistan. Can anyone shed light on that?

Salam Everyone,

I am new to this forum. A little information about me. I am a USC applying for my wife in Pakistan. I received NOA1 for K3 and on the applicant name it has my name. Is this correct or my wife name should be the applicant name?

Ok, everyone. Today I received my forms including the DS-3032 and the $70 fees for the affidavit.
Do I send the DS-3032 to Pakistan for my wife to sign? Confused...
I wish my I-129F is approved fast inshallah. Make dua everyone.
If I send the bill for the affidavit, will it cancel my k3? I do not want to get my k3 canceled.

you have an approved I-130.
roll the dice and make your move!
if you go with paying the fees it will cancell your K-3.
course. if the K-3 and Cr1 reach the embassy at the SAME time.
you will get the Cr1.
if you had a magic wand. here is what i think you would like to happen:

K-3 get to the embassy. while waiting for the interview day to arrive.
suddenly your CR1 reaches the embassy. as luck would have it your K-3 interview
is now your Cr1 interview " jackpot"

the only way to make that happen is to take a chance ...send in the fees.
only you can make that choice. but, keep in mind. you gonna pay the fees either now or later.

use the email option. have your wife send email to nvc. you should get response within a few days. or you can use what psoft did and mail that ds3032 on behalf of your wife. Dont need no wife signature. I would suggest email its faster. If you need to know the format of the email let me know i will pm you the format.

No sending the fees in will not cancel your k3. your k3 will only cancel if all your forms are done while k3 is still at embassy waiting for interview date.

i believe my ds230 will generate today. i try calling nvc regarding k3 no luck, line is busy all day long. I emailed them on friday so maybe i will get response tommorow about k3. oh man i am getting all excited.

ok Adil Khan, i sent you pm regarding the format of the email. have your wife email nvc at NVCINQUIRY@state.gov
Subject: Your case Number

NO paying $70.00 AOS bill wont cancell K3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How can K3 interview turn into CR1 interview????????????????????? Dont they have different documentation requirements????????????? someone please confirm.

Thanks Hafiz! I read your pm before this post, so let me pm you regarding this.

adnan shakil
brother, at USCIS, you are the applicant and your wife is benefeciary.


Quick Question
My I-130 was approved on 07/31/2006. Today, after 7 days, I was touched!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that something to worry about? Is my application still sitting at CSC?????? If yes when should it be reaching NVC?

vj membas from pakiland plz hit me up i want to share experiences with yall and each others

Hello. I, am a US citizen and my spouse is in Islamabad. I filed his K-3 back in May and got notice from the USCIS on 7/27 that the case is being transferred to the NVC so it can be sent to Pakistan. It looks like an interview should be scheduled in September hopefully. I understand that all visa applicants must now go through a security clearance in Washington after the interview and this can take anywhere from 45 days-several months. Does anyone have any idea how long it's taking on average for this? Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for keepin it lively!
Meow - and no baby momma drama here

Hey Skye......

Great poetry ghattiya!!!!!!!!!!!!nice combination of desi/english poetry.

You are lucky, this thread's chief law enforcement officer shon (babybunny) is not here right now. But I can tell you she will ask you to post poetry on the off topic thread. Here is the link for off topic thread:
http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...24601&st=90

see shon!!!!!!!!!! I am doing your job while you are not around. Do I qualify to be hired as your assistant?

what the ###### are you saying lol

welcome sk782, please update your timeline. no man you can post poetry dont worry nothing will happen.

Your husband would have to stay in Washington from 45 days to several months for security clearance?
It looks like I am not understanding what you're saying. Could you clarify that?

I didn't know about this security clearance.

if your CR1 reaches the embassy - BEFORE your k-3 interview
they will MERGE the 2 cases - therefore cancelling the K-3.

btw, our cases merged...




if the CR1 get to the embassy - BEFORE the k-3 interview the case will be merged
and K-3 cancelled.


since your I-130 is approved.
send in the fees.. your k-3 could already be cancelled.
because you have an approved I-130 and I-130 takes presidence.




make an effert to contact your congressman see if you can get your date moved up sooner..
good luck..

Adil Bhai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yaar you need to study these things a little bid. Bhai dont be all worried all of the sudden. Her hubby stays in Pakistan, he only has security checks done in DC. I will suggest taking a look at www.uscis.gov , www.state.gov and study K3 and immigrant visa information. Having first hand info will keep you from making mistakes. While VJ is a helful site, always double-ckeck the info from USCIS or State Dept. websites. Good Luck. Keep posting

yes.. there was one case with a man bringing over his son.
and dood wala brother was not placed on AP/AR thats because, he had been
waiting 12 years.

the other instances of short AR/AP are men that are
going to colleges like Harvard. and those that are in the medical / dental field
or studying in those areas. their AP/AR is under 20 days or less.



USC= PETITIONER
immigrant= BENIF.

do you have any family or friends in pakistan or a connection in the police? If any of the questions here are yes then you can have them get it done for you......

HI all.

I have a question. whats the avg. wait time these days for AR/AP for pakistan? my cousin's husband had his interview in march and still is on AR. he has been waiting a long time(5 plus yrs) since my cousin is a green card holder and now this long AR. they have a young daughter. my cousin and their daughter was with him for interview but that didnt help any. she called me the other day and i gave her all the tel# for DOS and fbi. i think she contacted fbi but they dont even have his fingerprints yet and DOS is not much helpful either. i told her about this website but she doesnt have much time to be online so i said i would ask the avg. time for her? i know it seems like its taking longer these days. in our case it was 42 days which i thought was long enough lol. good luck all.

so far I am on it now 11 1/2 months

oh man they cancelled my k3, ######

The National Visa Center has received your inquiry regarding Receipt Number MSC********. After searching our records, no information was found regarding this case. Please contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS- formerly known as INS) to verify the status of this petition.

no i am just kidding. i dont know yet, if they cancelled it lol, it would be so funny, i would not be able to stop laughing.

means it has been LOOKED at and UPdated.



if it cancelled TRUST me they wont email you. you will get this packet full of Copies.
I still have yet to get my CANCELLATION letter.

K-3 is an expedited visa. it dont stay in the NVC long enough to even inquire about it.
you can call Embassy in a week or 2. give the embassy time to enter your case in the system
then give them 3-4 weeks to create your packet.

Did you receive an email from them, Hafiz?

They will do the clearance in Washington but he will still be in Pakistan.

Assalam-o-Alaikum;
I welcome all new members to this thread with a request to them to update their signatures to reflect all important activities in their cases. Thanks.

Oh ok, thank you very much for clarifying that. I am not sure if the others understood me.

a Quick reminder.. those on AP/AR please let one of us know.. how long you have been on
AP/AR so we can track it for ya....those that told me - thank you very much..

Hey Everyone:)

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend

My husband's interview is in November. As we all know, Pakistani males are put on AR/AP for sure.

I plan to go back right after my husband has his interview- I wonder if that will cause any problem later on during the AR/AP. Does anyone have experience with this?

I will not have any apartment lease once I leave. I will have my friends mailing address-which is the same place I am staying right now-as well as my bank accounts-and voters registration record. I already have a co-sponsor since when I was sending packet 3.5, I did not have a job.

Just wanted advise on whether anyone sees if it will be a problem or not.
Thanks for all your guys help:)

Have a great day!

Hey Shon -yeah I already contacted congressman-embassy told him they have too many cases already and are understaffed-so cannot changed date.
So I want to go stay a few months with him after the interview-or till whenever he gets the visa...was just wondering if it will be a problem..(see the above post for details)
thanks to all who replied:)
Take care and enjoy!!!!

hey folks

Here http://london.usembassy.gov/cons_new/visa/iv/ds2001.html#one they say

"A person born in India or Pakistan must present the registration certificate if his birth was registered. If it was not registered, either in the locality or, if a Christian, in church, sworn affidavits may be submitted. Such an affidavit must be executed before an official authorized to take oaths (i.e. a magistrate, commissioner of oaths, justice of the peace or the like) by the mother, If she is deceased, the father may swear to the affidavit."

Isnt birth certificate and registration certificate same thing? if you have the birth certificate, do you still need a registration certificate???

I think the registration is some kind of receipt that you get after registering a birth there. If you have a birth certificate you shouldnt have to get anything else.

Umm dont you mean the US Embassy in Islamabad! Not Pakistan embassy! lol! look at whos talking though! look at my signature!

lol thats a big misconception, that the US embassy in pakistan is pakistan embassy. nevertheless



yes i did and i posted what they said. I try calling nvc but number has been busy all the time.

Registration certificate is called ‘Form-B’ or in Urdu ‘Form-Bay’ which is kind a record of a household (i.e. father, mother and children under 18 have no National ID card: In Pakistan only 18 years apply for National ID card) it is kind of national ID card but in the form paper. Like Joel said if you have birth certificate you do not need registration certificate



There is no need to NVC just shoot an e.mail to Islamabad they will reply you about case status believe me. ISL really rocks

we all know its the US embassy pendeja!
this is not a pakistani immigration board. its us immigration board.

Immigration to Pakistan is a joke.

only someone brainless would consider that my pakistan embassy reminder
was directed for those immigrating to Pakistan.

no michigan like to pull your leg lol. its all good

Hi,

I will add my timeline as soon as I get a chance to dig through my papers and notices to find the dates. Thank you to everyone who replied to my last post. I have some more questions that I thought of. 1) I have an immigration attorney and she said that if both I-130 and I-129F have been approved, then it is up to us to decide whether we want to cancel one. The whole situation is that k-3 interviews are being held in Sept now and I-130 in Dec. Of course, we would prefer to go with the K-3 but I didn't know that I-130s could be cancelled to make the K-3 go faster so I'm really confused about this. 2) Does it help if the US citizen is there for the interview with the pakistani spouse? Unfortunately I had to leave to come back soon after the wedding and haven't been able to go back yet. But if it helps, I will definitely head back for this. Thanks a lot.

Yes regardless of what you have seen on this thread in past "few" posts, the truth is that if both I-130 and I-129F have been approved and you have not sent in your DS-230 to NVC (Without DS-230, NVC cant send I-130 to embassy, and if I-130 doesnt reach embassy, K3 will not be cancelled) then you can call NVC and tell them to hold your I-130 here in U.S cuz you will INSHA AALLAH TA'AALA do adjustment od status. This way K3 will INSHA ALLAH make it to embassy and your spouse can come here on K3 and then do AOS.

NOW, MY QUESTION

its been 10 days since I-130 approval, ALHAMDULILLAH. Yet NVC automatic number has no record of the case. If I speak to a representative, do you think they will have different info? Or when should I expect it tobe assigned a case number?

just keep calling, they will give you case number soon.

they usually update on monday nights/tuesday mornings. but you can everyday. it does not take too much effort.

you can also send email, they respond 2-3 days.

mbhatti has inteview for cr1 on sept 13, 2006.

some good news! Shaak has been on this forum for a while, he had to file a waiver. his waiver was approved after one year! I am so happy for him! he is now on Ar/Ap too now!

thats a myth..
the embassy cancelled our K-3 ..
we were told after the interview and the AR/AP the embassy could not cancell the K-3
but they did. we got the shocker when they sent the COPIES from our proofs back to us.
in may 2006. thats 10 months on AR..

well here is the deal! If you want to keep going with K-3 DONT PAY THE FEEs ASSOCIATED WITH IR-1/CR-1. Simple! The embassy doesnt get anything from NVC so they dont know 130 is approved or not.

Exactly. Why doesnt shon understand that her K3 was cancelled cuz she paid the fee. We are talking about holding DS-230 and NOT mailing it to NVC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!COPMRENDE babybunny ?
