salams all

Alhamdulilah - my fiance got here with no problems, very easy POE - asked some very basic questions like where are you going to live, what are you going to do, where does your fiance live and that was about it... I waited outside of customs for almost an hour though b/c they lost his luggage!! Got it three days later thankfully...

quick question - were they supposed to keep the brown envelope at immigration?

Thanks again everyone for all the support - off to getting married and AOS'ing insha'Allah!

Hay Mary,

my two daughter in laws are here now- but me son in law had his interview 08/01/06 and the told him wait....I can only assume AR- but how long is that going to take? -

I ask only since when he had his interview he was told 3-6 weeks officially but, they said off the record it should be more like a month-

I told him not to get his hopes up but wanted your input- Thanks alot and congrats on all your good news

Jules

congrats and yes the brown envelope was them to keep....

for sending mail to pakistan. is Global Express Guaranteed® Document Service by usps reliable. it states on their website that they work with fedex. i went to fedex website but it seems package will cost 67 buck to send out. this is costing 36. any clues on rates, what service you guys used to send your relative the various forms. i remember marry mentioned fedex, please list rates and name of company. thanks. i am sending documents of course not big package. so please suggest accordingly. thanks

17 days - 2 years

we been on it 11 1/2 months..



its doesnt work for everybody.



thats not what happened.. we did not pay the fees til 7 months on AR..
is that spanish?


prove me wrong
go ahead ..

from what I have heard from others using usps is that it takes a lot of time even if you pay $36. You are better off paying more....do you have DHL where you are?? I think it might be better.....

Hello Jules,

AR or AP can take several months to year from what I have seen. I would say that the going time is roughly running 5 to 6 months if you look at the ME forum and here as well. Ishteaq had 5 months and Omid I think was around 6 months, Amy from the ME forum little over 6 months and a few others as well. All I can say is to call and check if you can weekly with DOS for an update if they will give you any information and tell him to be patient. I know it is very hard but that is all you can really do and pray. When Ishteaq had his interview he was told the case was fine but needed some processing and given the 221 (g) and said to contact them after 45 business days if they had not contacted him (they do not count weekends or holidays). Then almost one month later he had the field investigation and was told that they hoped to call him within one month but they did not contact him again until after 3 months.
Take care and stay positive! If I can answer any more questions for you let me know and hope my input helped.

Mary





Hafiz,

I used the USPS to send one package to Pakistan and it was to be there in one week. I used FedEx and had great results. If you truly want to guarantee delivery I would use the Fedex it is more expensive but Ishteaq had his documents within one week.

About Police Certificates from Pakistan

Thank you folks who replied my last msg. Now I have another confusion

I need to get police certificates from Pakistan for my husband's immigration visa . Is he required to get police certificates from all the cities he has lived in Pakistan or getting it from the last city in which he resided would be enough?

regards

Hello Birdie,

He must get certificates from all cities he lived in for 6 months or longer. My husband attended college in another city and we had to have a certificate from this city as well as the city he was born and raised in. Good luck.

Mary

your husband is in London? or Pakistan?
if he is in london and you are going though the london embassy.
what i will recommend is 2 things..
1.. contact them an VERIFY its needed. call them and dont religh on a message board.
2.. Locate the USICS webiste that stated it was NOT required.
3.. print the Part of the information that LISTED those countries its not required from.
present it to the embassy. THis is the ONLY thing that could say save you hassles.
you know good and well pakistan is not good at record keeping.

there was someone working with the CAN embassy that saw a list on embassy or USICS page that
stated ITS not required. I strongly think this is your best proof. the embassy realizes its next to
impossible to get the document.


if london embassy is demanding it
he will neeed all cities he has LIVED in since age 16.

Birdyconfused, Mary is right.

and birdy is confused. lets not forget that lol
i am just kidding please dont mind

i have recieved ds230 in mail. mhm should i send it in. lol

What's the average time for administrative processing to go into administrative review? darn.

there is no avg time. its a black whole. it can be a few weeks, months, good luck

17 days - 2years..

the longest to date is 11 1/2 months..

Shon, how do you put up with it?

I feel like ramming my head into the whole a billion times some days lol ...
but then again my dad has been dealing with immigration since the 1980s

she plays volleyball

and he enjoys long weekend at mom and dad

my husband is off 4 days I think that is a long weekend for him. whats going on here?
why is it odd for my husband to spend time with is family? they dont live in the same town
he has to travel 5 hours to see them. is that bad?



I know what you are feeling. the best way to cope is to find something that consumes your time.
in my case- there is my studies and my career. I dont know what to suggest to give you some peace.
you spent your whole life waiting for your daddy. I know its painful. you can vist your dad too perhaps live with him a little bit to break up this waiting. when you see him make 1001 memories.
(((((( huggg ))))))).

Just kidding dear.

time to chill, i'll be back in a few days or so

Oh no... hahaha it's onnly been a year since I haven't been living with him. I lived with him for the most part, but we were always restricted on what we could do, such as travel. He tried adjusting in the USA and was suppose to recieve everything, but didn't. He finally decided to leave last year not expecting for it to take so long since we already had alot of things approved already.

hang in there kiddo. as each day passes - you are closer to being reunited..that day will be so
sweet. you will be so happy..

Thanks, I hope you get re-united with your Javed soon too!

I pray.... a new week is comming...

Assalam-o-Alaikum;
Is the letter from embassy required to obtain the police certificate or can certificate be obtained without the letter?

it can be obtained without the letter. keep in mind the police report has an expiry. some places its
3 months and some places its 6 months.

Happy Independence Day Of pakistan

Bhai salam, letter chayee hota hai …..us bayghair ap ki inquiry nahi ho sakti. Yeah police ka mamla hai koi khala jee ka ghar nahi




Long live to Pakistan
Long live to Muslim nation

Bhai salam, letter chayee hota hai …..us bayghair ap ki inquiry nahi ho sakti. Yeah police ka mamla hai koi khala jee ka ghar nahi


what is this advise your giving on police reports? you have to SPEAK IN ENGLISH. you could be relaying MISINFORMATION on the Thread. you have to post in ENGLISH so others can correct it if its in error. its about RESPECT!

no only quiday azam is required.



translation: brother peace be to you, you need the letter for police certs, without it is difficult not impossible. this is police matter not your aunts house

haha lol. certified translator. merey mohar lag gayee.(my notory is stampled on this translation)



the time is within 1.5 months usually. the other visa types you have mentioned dont have interview. they send their passport in mail and get it back. thats it no interivew. of course this is after their petition has been approved.

i beleive if you go to visapro.com, it defines what those types stand for. enjoy

Thanks psoft. But if the letter is required, then I have following conern: As we know they give only few weeks to interview for K3, so if police dept. in Pakitsan takes long,then how can someone possibly get police certificates in time? Whats the solution? what did u guys do?

bahee as explained, you can get them. dont worry. just the letter and they will give you the certs. they dont take long.

ooooooooooops. Hafiz used an urdu word "bahee"
bahee=bhai, means brother.

Thanks. hafiz
