ALHAMDULILAH That is wonderful news Mary

Congratulationsssssssssssssssssss!

This will definitly reduce some work load from embassy people so that they can consider my case too.

Hey ISB, give visa to Javeed too.

bye
-Dude

I didn't see your most.. WOW I am in Houston also live infront of IEC. Glad to you here ....

Dont let the door smack you! dont you ever play with GOD again!
btw, post your DRAMA on off topic.

PM :

that was a very bitchy attack....I clearly said that we wre trying to work it out (not divorce on a dime)

second I asked a few questions to stop the lawyer from ruining my case, I cant discard him as lawyer since he is my husbands uncle.

and third before you leap to conclusions, i never said i want to wihdraw my petition, i just wanted to know if there is a way to exend interviwew date due to a time issue.

So please before you attack people with genral questions, think about what they are saying....not what YOU think they are saying.






oh good I am happy he has visa in hand..
CONGRATS .. this hell is over for you.....

MashaAllah, Congratulations Mary

Wish u Good Luck and happy Time Together (Ameen)

well well the days are getting closer, maybe the next time they update the times i may recieve my noa2

hello!! hope everyone is doing well!!

i haven't been around for a while so i figured i'd give an update.

it's been 34 days since my husband was put on AR/AP... don't know how much longer it's going to be.

however, the nvc sent our other case (CR1 visa) to the embassy a couple of weeks ago.

-is my husband going to have to go for another interview?
-will the CR1 visa superceed the K3 visa?
-will the embassy give him the K3 visa even though he has another case pending at the embassy (CR1 visa case)?
-will he have the option of coming to the US on a K3 visa and applying for greencard when he gets here?


maybe some of you who have been in this situation can comment on what the embassy does when this occurs.

also, the embassy told my husband that they need the co-sponsors (my brother) 2005 tax transcripts??? what are these tax transcripts? i thought all they needed were the federal 1040 tax forms and W2??? that's what my husband gave them at the interview. has anyone else been asked for tax transcrits by the the embassy before???



thank you
molly

I have been requesting everyone tell me how long they have been on AR/ AP so I can better answer the projected time.
it takes EVERYONE TO POST or PM me the amount of time on AR.
con I am glad you posted . now your helping others with the same question you are answering.. this board is for YOU .. if you dont post. we will not be able to answer any questions!! so take the time to respond to the Messages here...

ok i have a question, maybe its been answered before, but i would like to ask again.

I applied for the K3 and also the CR1. Now do i have to go through the whole process at NVC (you know that flow chart thing aka DS3220, I864) for both of these visas. or lets say my k3 goes through before the CR1, and then CR1 goes through after that, do they still ask for the same forms to be filled out at NVC or they juts look at the old info and forward it to embassy.

You have to do NVC stuff (i.e. DS3032/I864/DS230) ONLY for CR1 not for K3. For K3 your case will stay at NVC only for short while (It would be very short break) NVC will assign a case number like ISL###### then NVC forwarded it to embassy.

oh ok, so then there is no AOS and all that for k3 then.

sorry to bother, but like i was asking on the forum,

with the K3 the form will go from NBC to NVC and then to consulate in islamabad right? So i dont have to send any kind of foms to NVC at all, i just send the stuff to my wife for interview?

And also when she gets her visa inshallah, she will just come here and can decide to go with the immigration visa(i-130) or do Adjustment of status right?

So if she does adjustment of status we dont have to do the whole flow chart stuff for nvc?

sorry for so many questions.

Please please give your time line!!!!

hi...
K-3.. you wait for the papers to get to the embassy. they will send your wife packet
3. this packet contains her interview date. she will need to return all the information
that is listed on the check list at the time of her interview.

good luck to everyone this coming week

Hello.

I just want to ask about fingerprint matters.

THe CO has taken fingerprint of my left and right index fingures only.

what about ur experince? and infernce?

Thanks
-Dude

dude its ok..
they always take the index finger prints. its when they take the FULL set of prints is when
you need to panic. I can tell you this. the prints get checked at the local and at the DOS actully
at the FBI it takes 24 hours. right now expect a field investigation. it takes time to coordnate that.
mary had hers I think a month after her interview.. double check with mary on when she had hers.

Dude the two index prints are normal. If they had taken the full set of prints you would of had a name hit in one or many of the data bases and it would have to be overcome. You would be in security check called the Chamelon Check. So no worries, Dude.

Secondly, Ishteaq interviewed on Dec 12th and field investigation was little over one month later. Good luck.

Mary

Mary, when is he coming

Icy,

He is going to Saudia Arabia first and right now the plans are for him to go next week and arrive here on the 23rd. I am waiting on the travel agency to give me the heads up so I can purchase his ticket from JFK to here. Kids and I are so excited. Once I have all the details I will let everyone know.

hamdullilah... But he'll be here when I'm going to be in the air !! lol

I beg to differ! When you get a full set of finger prints done! THAT DOES NOT IMPLY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET A FIELD INVESTIGATION. Laney had her husbands full set of finger prints taken and did not have her fingerprints (full set) taken.

Full set of finger prints are also normal, just means you have a hit "hit" in the CLASS database.

I would appreciate it, if you wrong information is not provided to people!

ALL PETITIONS ARE GETTING FIELD INVESTIGATED!!!

did laney get a field investigation?

I m in Houston as well.....Just moved here last week from St. Louis

oh i would like to know what is difference between Admin process and admin review..,i had interview in embassy ISL..after interview consular give me one 4 digit token and one paper saying admin processing and index finger prints. i ask how long this admin review take he said admin processing not review..,the letter didnt say denial or 221(g) or anything else..He keep my passport and he say courior will contact you show them token and collect your passport...,so i want to know what is difference between admin review and process and do everyone got 4 digit token and approve courior centers list? he said this is normal process and i saw people worry alot about age diffferece but this is not a problem cos me and my fiance have 32 years age difference she is older than me but consular didnt ask any question about this i asked age difference is red flag? he ask for see telephone bills and after reviewing telephone bills he say thats not a problem its ok..,and i notice every men were getting admin processing females getting visa...best of luck guys

well I have seen that the embassy says that a person is under AR usually when the security clearances are pending, and AP when the security clearances are back the case is pending in the embassy!

[/quote]
me and my fiance have 32 years age difference she is older than me
[/quote]

32 years age difference



Where in Houston?

I dont know what happen to laney- I dont really care.. but all petitions are getting field investigations!!
in light of the new IMBRA law. you can best belive even more field investigations. The pattern has been 2 visits. normally back to back.

Shon! I am not going to argue with you. As all others no that its not even worth arguing with you! You can believe what you want! Just dont give out wrong information!

!! friend of mine just got approved! Two days ago WITHOUT a field investigation! They DO NOT waste money and time until they suspect something Fishy..

you are right Ali, none, nada, zip, zilch, No one visited anyone in Naseer's family or neighborhood and he had a full set of prints.

Like i said I Dont care what he11 laney had. she can consider herself damm lucky..

I am telling YOU smart mouth.
that there will be MORE field investigations!
in light of the new IMBRA expect even more USC interviews as well.
if you wanna keep your head buried in the sand thats YOU..
when you get your field investigation - pretend its not happening.




so what are you saying all of us that had field investigations had fraud???????????????????????

btw, there are petitioners that had staight forward cases. no past petitions ever, no spouses with past petitons filed for them. no issues at all. they have been field investigated. sence NOV. the field investigatons have been in full bloom. there is a fellow that gets stacks of petitions and makes his rounds. not only does the embassy does the field investigations but the consulates do to. sometimes both make their cameo appearances. so instead of pretending like they dont exist. try asking people about what was asked of them . what was mentioned!! then maybe you will better understand the world around you.

Michigan and Shon take deep breathe. Be patient inshallah everything will be all right pretty soon. So there is no need to fight. I am still thinking how could someone be engaged and trying to marry 32 years old. Marcy on me Jezz…!

Brothers and sisters .....c'mon Wish everyone a great week.....

Hope next week is full of good news for the Islamabad thread. We need more progress of visas issued, AR and APs finished and interviews scheduled.

OK!

the last person that had a gap of 32 years. he was on AR 2 years. ultimately his petition
was returned on NOIR. and is now sitting on the desk of the fraud prevention desk. there are petitions
that have been placed on NOIR- relationship validity in the ME forums.



if placed on NOIR or NOID.
better hire an attorney.

Q: How may I receive my passport and visa?

A: If you were approved for a visa, you should have been given a small issuance token with a four digit number on it. Please contact the American Express courier you used to apply for your visa three to five business days after your interview and bring the token to their office to retrieve your passport and visa.

they says contact courier after 30 days or they will contact me show this token to them and get visa...these r consular's words........

Ar..
you need to wait til you are cleared the AR/AP. they cant issue the visa til you are clear. AMex will call you when your case is compleate.
if you think it will be cleared in 30 days or sooner certainly call Amex. but the best way to tell a head of time that your case is clear is contact Department of state.
202 663 1225 press option 1,0
have your case number and immigrants Date of birth

lol, good luck everyone

?

What about petetioners that have had a file since 1994? I've noticed my fathers file is going extremely quick compared to many others. He recieved an interview in weeks, had an interview only 2 months away from the papers indication (interview is coming in 2-4 weeks, can't remember exactly). The AR/AP hopefully shouldn't be a problem for a man who has lived in the U.S. since early/mid-1980s, has payed taxes since the day of arrival, has 3 USC children, a USC wife, and been married for almost 20 years. What do you guys think? problem/no problem?

here is the deal canuhandleit. There is NO CRITERIA for initiating Ar/AP. Look at me, I lived in the US for 8 years, paid my taxes, No criminal record, signed up for selective services and lol, I am going through a longer AR/AP. Lol!

I guess the more u live in the US the more traces you leave for them to track haha! Actually I have come to a conclusion that AR/AP all depends on how common your name is! I have been told that there are seven people with the same name in their system with my name!

One more thing AR depends on is age! How old is your father. I am not sure but if he is older than a certain age, he wont have to go through AR
