Means it is denied (soft denial) and they will have to overcome it. The case will come back to the USA and it will tell them the reason(s) they are finding it hard to approve. It is called a NOIR instead of a NOID which means it cannot be overcome.

Shonnie sorry to hear of the NOIR and you need to plan for your rebuttal. I am here for you girl!

Great news Ali, hope soon you will hear from embassy as well.


Zaki

This is really sad news, they took 2 years to come to this decison. This is plain discrimination. I am so very sorry for your news.

So sorry to hear that Babybunny.

Sorry to hear that but maybe this isnt as bad as it sounds. Atleast you know something is happening and you can take steps to address their concerns and who knows maybe this time it will not take as long. I hope you are able to overcome the 221g objections and are united with your hubby soon.
Goodluck!

Really sad news.

can someone post the number to the embassy. I cleaned my desk and cant find the number.

oh here is the letter we got..

That is terrible news and we can just pray that things get settled quickly for you. You deserve it for sure.

My wife just informed me that her interview date is june 5th, at 8:00. We're as prepared as we can be at the moment, thanks mainly to visajourney.com... hope things go well.

Good luck to everyone.

00 92 51-2082700



Zaki

Also: Telephone: (011 92) 51-208-0000

Good Luck Oasriz!

Good Luck Oasriz, hope we get our interview date soon.

011-92-51-208-2121.

press 1 and then 1 to speak with the rep:. The timing is 12:30-3:30 PM in Pakistani Time.

More Updates:

My wife got the call from the emabssy and they have asked for I-134 becasue at her interview she had a fax copy of I-134. The reason she had faxed copy is that her interview was on Feb 06 and I came back to US from my trip to Pak on Jan 29. I sent her same day but it couldnt deliver on time. Then I called embassy today's morning to verify that original I-134 that she has right now is dated for 01/29/07 and an immigrant officer told me that it is fine. Also, she told me that my wife can come to embassy on this Monday and can submit I-134 herself. When I asked her that if she comes on Monday and gives you that original I-134 will she get the visa same day. The officer replied "HOPEFULLY" so my wife is going to embassy on this Monday. I pray this should be the end of our waiting. Please keep me in your prays guys and I would keep you as well

ALI

Great!!! Inshallah she will get the Visa and will be here very soon.

-Khurram

Inshallah Ali1978, she will get the visa. Good Luck!

Good luck on the interview!

Ali thanks for posting the number I was looking for it now. Good news too for your wife means they are going to ajudicate soon.

Just a question if anyboy went through this.

When my wife goes to Embassy would ket her in as she doenst have an appointment?

Sorry there was typing error.

I was asking that would the embassy let my wife in without having an appointment.

Ali, did they give her a token after she had her interview, she can show that.

Yes, she has a token. Good to know.
Thanks HP81

Welcome.

My wife had her medical in Karachi, Pakistan today and they told her that she does not need any vaccination (she didn't have any record of it either) for K3.
She was given two sealed envelpoes and Xray film to take to the embassy.

I would just make sure this information is correct because as per the instructions sent by the Consulate the only way someone would not need any vaccination is by having a blood test done to show that the the vacines were administered previously. Otherwise one has to have these vacinations administered.
Maybe they did take a blood sample and said this on the basis of the results?

Vaccination Requirements

Mumps
Measles
Rubella
Polio
Tetanus and diptheria toxoids
Pertussis
Influenza type B
Hepatitis B
Varicella <
Pneumococcal

As a fiancé(e), you are not required to fulfill this requirement at the time of your medical examination for a fiancé(e) visa. However, you may want to do so. These vaccinations are required when you adjust status following your marriage. They also do this in the K category too I think. It is cheaper to have these done prior to her coming to the USA and she can get a form from the panel doctor listing these as done prior to her arrival. I would double check to be sure but they do require the vaccinations or a list of them at some time during the processing.


http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/ty...tml#Vaccination

They did do a blood test so maybe they determined it after that

The vaccinations set us back about $200 in the US. He should have done them in Pak!

I will ask her to contact her doctor for it
Thanks
Khurram

HI everybody, i have been away from the forum due to being busy with job and other things,

but i have always thought about all of you and prayed for everybody.

Yesterday was my interview and here is how it went.

I could only find 2 male applicants including me and 1 candidate for K-1. Most applicants for immigration visa were female.
After depositing fee and submitting passport at window 5 the pakistani guys also asked abt my choice of language, i was then called at window 6 and a pakistani lady collected documents from and asked about the who co-sponsor is and his relationship with me or my wife. Then she told me to wait.

I was called @ window 3 for the interview with counsler officer.
He took full set of finger prints and following questions: -

1. Who petitioned for you?
2. Where she lives?
3. What does she do?
4. when your marriage took place? where?
5. how u met? and when?
6. When was marriage decided?
7. was it a traditional pakistan marriage with mehndi, nikkah, rukhsati?
8. Who were the witnesses of marriage?
9. what was the name of "molvi" who solemnized the marriage?
10. how long she has been in USA?
11. How she became US citizen?
12. did she come to see you again? when?
13. how you keep in touch? (I offered him to see the phone bills and emails, but he said, thats ok, i dont need to see them)
14. have you ever travelled outside pakistan?
15. Is this your first passport?
16. who is your co-sponsor?

He then went through the photos, 3 pocket albums, stopped at a few photos and asked about the people in there. then he asked me to wait for a couple of minutes. and again called me after a couple of minutes. and said, Sir, we have two outstanding issues with your case, 1. We have to do some administrative processing, which will be done in washington and it can take 2 months. 2. We need proof of nationaility of your co-sponsor (oops, i missed this thing in the instructions). I said, Ok, but do u think it can take more then two months, he said, well sir, I have seen case coming back in 2 weeks and i have seen cases taking several several months. He then, said he is keeping my passport and all original documents, including all three albums of photos. He said while while smiling, he will send them to me later on via amex.

Then he gave me three papers, and said I wish you good luck with your case (and he smiled, even though he was friendly thoughout).
Among the papers one is a blue letter stating
"Dear visa applicant, this office regrets to inform you that it is unable to issue a visa to you because you have been found ineligible to receive a visa under following section(s) of the immigration and Nationality Act. The information contained in the paragraphs marked with "X" pertain to your visa application. Please disregard the unmarked paragraphs.

X. Section 221(g) which prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone whose application does not comply with the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act or regulations issued pursuent thereto. The following apply in your case.*
Your case requires additional administrative processing.
-----
-----------
------------
X. Further consideration will be given to your visa application after you obtain and present the documents listed above and/or following:*
We require a copy of your joint sponsor's proof of citizenship/status in United States.

SO I am on AP right? well,,,,, and do u see anything special or different about my interview? or its just like any other interview that ended up in AP?

How can i check for whats going on with my case? can i or my wife call somewhere in US to see whats going on with AP over there?

will they do AP in pakistan (like verification of documents, making calls to parents, field investigations after everything is cleared from USA or in parallel, i hope they do it in parallel, that will atleast safe some time)?

Also, can i travel to USA while this visa is being or some other visa type? as my employer indends to send for to new york for a temporary assignment?

Aftab!

Almost same questions were asked and end with AP. You just need to send joint sponsor's proof of citizenship rest things are the same as others.


Zaki

Hello,
I am so concerned about this. When I called NVC center I was told that my file was sent to Islamabad on May 07. So I emailed ISB and they only have electronic version and not my actual file it's been over a week?? Should I be concerned. How can I track if package left here?? Please Help

So does this mean one is not approved unless AP is lifted??

Your hard copy may be at the embassy but until someone types it into the system and verifies it page by page it will show as not there yet. Give it a few more days and then email the embassy and ask for an update. Tracking the diplomatic pouches you can see what day you think it left and track but all are just listed by country and does not specifiy the names or types of visas.

http://track.dhl-usa.com/TrackByRef.asp?nav=TrackByRef


Track by reference number of I-730 and the date you think it mailed. Also, contact NVC and inquire on the status 603-334-0700 and they can tell you if and when the pouch was sent.

The blood test more than likely was the HIV/AIDS test. All applicants have this test prior to approval to come to the USA.

Thank you Mary, I will call NVC today to inquire about it. It makes me feel better that they might have it just not in the system. I tried tracking by reference, but nothing is showing up. I am so nervous, there is so much wait involved and now the AP for Male especially is really another frustration. I wish all this is over soon (ameen)

I emailed the US consulate about the vaccinations and they confirmed that she doesn't need it for K3. I will find out the cost for the vaccinations in pakistan and from the doctor here

If I remember correctly, I paid Rs.3500 in Karachi for K-3 visa.

ALI

AOA,

How much fee did you have to pay at the embassy during interview?

Thanks to Almighty Allah that my A/P is done from DOS and from the embassy after 11 months.

Congratulations. Hope the furtehr process will go smooth for you. Best of luck!!! That a long time man!!!
ALI

Congratulations did you get your visa

Congratulations on your being done with AP please let us know if you have the ajudicated visa in hand yet? I would love to remove your name from the pending list.

Oasriz, Did you request your June 5th interview. It's strange, because I recieved a mid July interview for my wife, and we had received it before your's. I wish her interview was earlier. Can you please let me know? Thank you.

Anyone who has been interviewed RECENTLY in Islamabad, Can you please post your experience here. My wife's interview is set for mid July and I would like to see what kind of consequences I may be up against. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Were you issued a visa on the spot?

If not, How long does it take before you get it?

Were you put on AR/AP even if everything was in order (documents, etc)?
