Dood Wala,
Sounds like you have been away from VJ for a long time and you don't have a clue how to generate bar code page. It can be done, and as a matter of fact I have prepared the bar code page already, not going to tell you how cuz I know you are from CA..... )))
Anyway, thanks for the advise.

Hello guys,

My wife just filed for her AOS on Friday. Wish us luck.

And, Niddy lot of congratulation to you from me and my wife.

Ali

GHATTIYA CR-1 is updated now. I contacted him and he is in the USA. Islamabad is on a roll and if any of you know of more updated information please share so we can continue to make the AR/AP list smaller.

Congratulations on the upgraded petition status!

NOIR/NOID means the case is being sent back to the US for Notice of Intent to Revoke or Notice of Intent to Deny. Thrice in the thread above means they were put on AR/AP three times. Hope this helps.

Do not worry Jaxguy I got the same response and panicked when I was going thur the processing. The DS230 goes to another office than the I-864 so it shows in the system as missing or incomplete. Once it arrives to the proper office the automated system will tell you that you should be completed in 4-8 weeks. This is just standard statements and it is usually done 2-4 weeks. They only review it for accuracy and then forward the case to Islamabad and the CO will have the final say on your case.

Alhamdulillah my wife rec. the visa... my status is updated below:

Thanks Mary. Now do I need to talk to someone at NVC to find out when DS230 is generated or they will update the automated system?
I am planning to use Jame's shortcut, and don't want to wait for snail mail.

Jaxguy you can call them I guess. I knew how hard it was to bring a male from Pakistan and was afraid to use James Shortcuts, so I let them process it out at their own pace. Good luck.

I got a call from my congressman. I hoping we can get our case fixed. wish us luck

Salam everyone,

Just wanted to share my husbands interview..july 25,2007.

Salam everyone,

Just wanted to share my husbands interview..july 25,2007.

He arrived at 6:00 am at the place the bus picks up everyone.... was sent with the "immigrant" group to wait... his interview wasnt until 1:30 pm... he asked to be interviewed in urdu.. it was a pakistani guy and an american women who interviewed him... they asked him 10 questions

1. Who is petioning you?
2. who is mr.X and mrs.X? (my parents)
3. How old are you?
4. How old is your wife?
5. what is her job position?
6. Do you have any children?
7. What is child's name?
8. what is her date of birth?
9. Date of your marraige?
10. When was the last time your wife visited you?

They then asked him if he had any wedding pictures, he showed them and they went through a few of them asking questions. They then asked if he had any pictures of our daughter, he took out about 200 pictures, home videos, and a coffee mug I had sent him that had a picture of our daughter on it, (they were amused to see it and loved it!)

My husband then told them that "my wife had sent the I-864 to NVC but had a few mistakes in it, NVC told her to give it to me to present at interview"... (by the way I filled out a new one just this month, with tax returns for 2006 for both me and my parents, who are "household members").. They said "no its not necessary we dont need them everything looks good". He then said "Do you need the tax returns for 2006? NVC told my wife if interview is after April 15th, I will need to submit 2006 tax returns at interview" They then said "No, we dont need those either"...

They then told him everything looks fine, but we still need to do some background check on your case, he was handed a pink slip. He asked them "how long will this take"? They told him "about 3-4 months".

we are both VERY disappointed.. even though it was expected..

I hope all our Ap's end soon, insha'Allah. And best of luck to those who are still waiting for interview date.

Just wanted to share my husbands interview..july 25,2007.

Hi!

I was interviewed in April 2005 for the first time for my IR-1 visa, I submitted my medical and police reports.The officer asked me few question and determine that I need to submit the I-601 waiver and being put on administrative review for the first time. I went back to the embassy in May with my USC wife and submitted the I-601 with the fingerprints, I was called again in July 2005 just to submit the tax papers from my sponsors.

Last year in the first week of May I received a letter from the embassy to come for the third interview since my I-601 was approved and I received the approval letter from Rome, Italy. I went to the embassy with new medical and police reports, the officer asked few questions and said "Congratulations and Welcome to USA" then I was asked to submit my passport and handed a purple IV token to receive the visa via courier service within 6-8 weeks.

May 2007, I received a phone call from the embassy saying that, my security clearance has been completed and I need to send the tax papers from my Co-sponsor and they are ready to issue the visa. I contact my brother in law to send his tax papers so I can forward it to the embassy, he sent everything out to me within 3 days. I sent everything to the embassy by the end of May and waited and waited. After a week I received a letter from the embassy saying that my co-sponsor's income is insufficient and I need to send another I-864 from someone who is eligible. I contacted my lawyer and he argue with the embassy that my Co-sponsor has no dependents at all and he owns various business with the income of $36,000, I received another fedex from my brother in law including the new forms and the assets which was more than 5 times than the poverty level, I sent everything out including my new medical and police reports again since they were going to expire soon. I received another letter stating the same thing to send someone's else who qualifies to be a co-sponsor. First week of July I sent the new I-864 from my older brother($38,000 income) no dependents along with the W2's, copy of his passport and his tax returns. Last week I received another letter from the embassy saying that they need the I-864A and the proof of USC from my brother's wife. Total income from both of 'em is $55,000 with no dependents.

Yesterday I went to the courier service and sent everything out to the embassy, I asked the courier person when these papers will be there he tomm morning. What do you guys think what will happen this time and how long should I wait to contact the embassy. Your inputs and comments are more than welcome.

I hope and pray for all of us to reunite with their families once again for good.

On May 30, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service

Finally I reached US on 29th July. I sat in a room for almost 3 hours in JFK airport. An officer ask me few questions, i.e
1. What kind of job i was doing back home country ?
2. Any work in military related, or training.
3. My wife's address.

Then he said wait for more processing. It took 3 hours to clear from JFK.

Today on 30th July i went to social security office. I submit the form and an officer gave me a letter that it will take 4 to 6 weeks.
