OMG, it is the excellent news. You guys really deserve it.

Now it is Mary’s turn.

Well gang I am asking you to pray for me too.

I may have some good news now. I called DOS today and they said the embassy was sending Ishteaq a letter to return in person again. This letter was to be sent to him today or tomorrow and they will not tell me all the details since it was for him. At the time of his interview they did not take his passport. I am excited since Shon is having good news today.

Hello everyone,

Here is situation for me.

1) My interview was scheducled for Dec 27. They said to bring copy of Valid Business license of my sponsor and passport.
2) Then my interview rescheduled for Mar 2. They said bring docs mentioned in previous letter
3) Then Re-re-scheduled for 2nd week of May. This time They said: Bring passport(s)

Now as i was arranging the documents, i found that business license of my sponsor has EXPIRED. It was valid during the dates of scheduled 1st and 2nd interview date. Its expired on April 26.

Tell me what shoud i do as i dont have enough time to arrange copy of renewed business license.

will the fax work?

Secondly, in Texas, how much usually it takes for the renewal of business license?

waiting

-Dude

Dude,
You didn’t mention the type of business you and your partner into? Below is Texas state URL http://www.texasonline.state.tx.uS.
Following business licenses renewal available online in Texas
http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/beh/texasonline.html
I hope this URL will work for you.
In my opinion fax copy may be acceptable. DHL will take only three or four days to delivery any document in Pakistan.
Best of luck.

Dude.
Good luck with your process.. hopefully no more interview date changes and this nightmare will be over.

Good luck on your upcoming visit to the embassy. It was good news by saying to bring the passport(s). I am sorry not sure of the business license thing and looks like Imran gave you some links.

Mary

I got the fax copy few minutes before.

Thank you www.k7.net

Dont have time for DHL.

wish me good luck.


and well

if anyone can validate the license copy by vsiting at

http://www.tdi.state.tx.us/


then why cant embassy?

i hope that it will not create a problem for me.

cause its the embassy, and most importantly its teh pakistan embassy, where we take days off for american and pakistani holidays, general strikes are included in pakistani holidays

Well everyone looks like we finally made it out of our AP. Ishteaq went to the embassy today and they took his passport and he paid the courrier fees. We should have a nice new shiny visa in our hands in 3- 5 days. Thanks to everyone for their encouragement during the long process. Keep the faith and God/Allah will bless you in his time not ours.

Mary

WoW,
Mary Wonderful news..............



Best of luck Dude.

good luck

Ok, This is dude from Islamabad. Its been 1 hour that i left embassy.
and you know what happened. .....................AR

Nothing new with me to share about interview.

But during first interview by desi man (after paying the fees), he has asked a question:

have you worked for terrorist organization?


wasnt that funny to reply?


well, in final intervew, the female CO asked many common questions.
Checked my business card and lecturer card.

She was impressed.
and asked me later why your english is good?
In reply, i showed her my school certificate where LA SALLE HIGH SCHOOL was written and i told her that i was thought by many "brothers" under Catholic Church System.

Finally, she said: Your case is OKAY but we cannot issue the visa to you as u r on AR.

Thats all from my side.

Note: They have not checked the license about which i was worried.

Dude it seems to be most brothers coming from Pakistan are in some type of AR/AP. I will continue to pray for you and wish your time to go swiftly. Take care and stay strong.

Mary

Just wait for few days then A/R thing will be over. Islamabad embassy working hard these days …J
Dude, you didn’t share nature of your business?
So where is your destination in Texas?

Wishing you a quick AR Dude - hang in there.

Here are the details of his return visit to the embassy.

10 am admitted inside.
1:15 pm he was called to window 6 and Pakistani lady asked for his ID and asked him about his medical going to expire in August when did he want to travel.?
1:45 pm he was called to another window and English man and Pakistani man asked him about his travel plans and said the same thing about his medical the lady at the window said.
English man they said to give them his passport, gave him a token and said your Visa is okay. We do not issue and it will delivered by xxx courrier with 3 - 5 days. Told him his documents would be with the visa and I think they were telling him the brown envelope.


He took more evidence and all things he went with the first time and they did not ask any questions or look at any proofs. Main thing was he sat a long time waiting to talk to the persons inside the embassy.

Thanks for sharing Mary

Hi everyone...

I ahvent posted in months....

well i have new news


me and my husband are trying to work things out since divorce is not an easy path. Wish us the best....now the problem

my lawyer AKA my husbands uncle is AGAINST the marriage (He even said that he will consider us both dead if we went ahead witht he marriage)!!

So what do I do, I"m worried if he does anything so I ahev a few questions can anyone please help me....THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!

1) Can a lawyer cancel visa application? (I havent signed anything that givs him power of attorney)

2) What if I wished to extend interview date (June 1st)? How do I go about doing that?

3) What should be done in case crazy lawyer uncle recalls his affidavit of support joint spnser form, will I ahve to find a new one quick?

Please help everyone, this is a matter of hapiness and regret.

look 1st ... marriage is not a GAME..
either he is frauding or he loves you or you love him..
right now you made some serious accusations about him and I think your family got wind of your
accusations too. this is a very very bad situation. having said that.. the only way to fix this mess
is basicly KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.

2ndyou can divorce really easy in the USA.

3rd GET A NEW LAWYER! you can not have a lawyer on both sides of the fence! pay for one that protects you...

4th... you need to find a co sponser.

5th having said that are you ready to be with his man til the day
you die. even if you have to take care of his aunt and uncle the ones you were against taking care of?

6th now in all this mess you are saying you wanna withdraw the petition???????

I say make up your mind! you seriously need to give it time and dont rush nothing.
it seems like you are RUSHING and is CONFUSED..

I do lubricants business.
I am coming to Houston, Insha Allah.
Love to live near IEC.
