Congrats Khurram. It is nice to see that your wife is coming. Sorry, but i've been extremely busy with my wife, work, etc. Take care.

Thanks Man, I am soooo looking forward to the time I will get busy with my wife etc, already busy with work though

Salam to all,

I went through an interview at US embassy islamabad on 22nd OCT 2007 for my H1B. They gave me a white letter after my interview saying "We have approved your non immigrant visa application but you require additional administrative processing that could take a minimum of one month ...".

Kindly if anybody within the last two-three months went through an interview at islamabad for H1B and went through an administrative processing and got it cleared would like to share his experience. In how much time to be exact he cleared the administrative processing? I just want to get an idea about the current situation that how much time administrative processing currently taking. I know it varies case to case but only a general idea if everything goes fine during administrative processing.


Best Regards.

Sallam Everybody!

I have received my NOA2 finally! My case however has not made its way tot NVC yet, nor to ISB.

I was wondering if there was anything I could do in advance? I have already prepared my I-134 (Affidivit of Support) and sent it to my fiance in Lahore.

Does anyone know what dates ISB Embassy is giving interviews for now? I hope my case makes it to ISB by Mid November. Inshalla!!!!!

Thanks!

Congratulations !!!!!

Finally the sanity prevailed and they decided to interview your wife also at the same time. I am so very happy for you.

Congratulations

Hey guys, I'm so excited, they mailed out the packet 3.5 already to my husband from ISB!! I was curious, and this is for EVERYONE, how many of you waiters are NOT of Pakistani origin....and not an immigrant yourself. Basically, how many gori/goras do we have out there. I'm wondering if this is affecting certain things for people. Congrats to everyone and best of luck to everyone THIS SYSTEM SUCKS! At least God is better than any Govt.!

Congrats, I can't wait until my time comes. By looking at your timeline I'm guessing that I have another 2 months to go. I am a July filer.

A friend is gong through the immigration process for the family. He has a question i thought I'd ask here.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG IT MIGHT TAKE MY HUSBAND TO GET HIS PASSPORT BACK WITH VISA? They called him and said your visa is ready but we need new police certificate, his old one expired, he had a little trouble getting it, Insha'Allah today he will finally get it and fom there go straight to American express and submit it... Anyone been through this? Do you think they will give him his passport then? or call him back later?? or how long it might take!!! Now that we are FINALLLY almost done... its harder to wait!!!!!!!

Thank you very much and the same to you

I would think a week or two after it gets approved and they have everything they need.

My wife picked up the Visa today

Khurram,

You know I sent you my Congrats earlier, so allow me to Congratulate you and your dear wife in this thread. No more dismal Mondays for you.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!

Congrats Khuram, Good luck with the rest of the process.

I had a question i am filing for AOS, EAD & AP. If I look at these petitions individually it means i had to give 06 pictures of mine as 02 for each. Will u please let me know do i had to give 02 pictures of mine for all these petitions or do i have to submit 06 pictures. Looking forward for your kind response THANKS

God bless us all

ANYONE HERE APPLYING FOR THEIR SPOUSE WHO'S NOT AN IMMIGRANT TO THE U.S.??? Also, how does the Embassy send their crap...TCS?

Here's to those in the process....and to those who have made it through the fire.

Alright, I'm sorry, I know I'm obnoxious....I'm just trying to sort between the information between here and what i've been told via the u.s. website and other sources. Will someone tell me what the process is now that the case is in PK? I know the packet 3.5 has been sent (on the 30th). What is in it? What will it require of us? And what follows....I thought I read on here Packet 4? what is in that and what is required? We just want to make sure we have everything we need to and get it as soon as we can. So far we've not had any hang ups in the process (all paperwork has been done correctly and such) and we'd like to keep it that way. THANK YOU FOR ANYTHING !

thats great, mashallah. YOu have waited for a while.

I have a question. If a person wants to bring their mom or sister to US during their pregnancy. How would they do that. Just for a visit during this time. THank a bunch.

Thank you!!





Thank you!!




Thank you!!



Yup and as always I appreciate what you have done for me




Thank you



Embassy send their stuff to the beneficiaries home using American Express courier. I know Mary wasn't an immigrant but she has been tied with her Kid being sick.

You'd have to apply for a visitor visa.....

and also send a letter with intent accompanied by a I-134 that they will not be a burden

Congratulations Khurram!!
I have been watching your timeline. I couldn't believe they'd drag your wife's K3 for so long even after the interview. As they say, there's definitely light at the end of the tunnel. Many Congrats!

Thanks buddy, how is your wife holding up?
Good luck toy you and now start preparing for AOS and EAD

Packet 3.5 asks for the following docs: (except for the medical reports which have to be only taken on the interview)

1. Form DS-230 Part I and II
2. (a) Birth certificate (original and one photocopy)
( English translations (same)
3. (a) Marriage certificate (original and one photocopy)
( English translations (same)
4. (a) Death certificate (original and one photocopy)
( English translations (same)
5. (a) Divorce Cerficate if previously married. (original and one photocopy)
( English translations (same)
6. (a) Applicants who have submitted Affidavit of Support to the National Visa Center must submit in writing that the submission was already made.
( If not you must submit Original Form I-864 and if need of co sponsor theirs as well and all supporting documents.
7. Photocopy of your passport (Valid for one year from teh anticipated visa interview date)
8. Medical Examination Report (Must be preformed by one of the listed approved panel physicans in booklet)
9. Photographs (Two according to specifications in your booklet)
10. (a) Police Certificate from your local police jurisdiction
( Police Certificate from all countries where you have lived for one year or more since the age of 16 (note this does not apply to the USA or Afghanistan)

My packet 3.5 was sent on 24th Oct according to the embassy but the TCS stamp said 30th Oct. So just wait for it to come. It takes about a week.

Packet 4 contains the interview letter. This will come AFTER u submit Packet 3.5 docs to the embassy.

THANKS That's crazy though, they already have 2/3 of that we sent to NVC....it costs 25$ just to send paperwork from there to here and now you have to do it again!! Stupid immigration system...no wonder people come in and stay illegally!

salam everyone
hope allah makes our journey's easier. I wanted to know if once your K1 is approved do u have to ask for a extension if
your case is already in islambad? salam

She's hanging in there... I am going to visit PK in December. Hoping that I get some news from USCIS soon. I thought I would bring her with me in December but now that hope has faded away seeing the timeline of people and the fact that I have not even received NOA2.

Hey, same here....I am going for two months in December and was hopeful my husband would come with my daughter and I now that his case is in ISB.....but it looks now that it's not even close. Best of luck.....and hang in there!

Inshallah you'll hear some good news, I am going to Pakistan as well in December for 20 days to meet my family and do a true "ruksati"



Sorry to hear that, there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Yeah, there's light......but I'm just moving back until it's complete so my husband doesn't miss his daughter's WHOLE life

Salaam Khurram,

I've been reading all your post and found them interesting and informative and thought i should consult a bit from you about my case status. My wife is US citizen and she filed through attorney for me in US while staying here in Pakistan, since we got married in 2004 dec she is with me and went back once in 2006 Jan and now waiting with me for my case to get approved, my daughter is also US citizen through her. Following is my timeline so far.

29 March 2007 - Applied for I-130 (California Service Center)
30 March 2007 - They received
04 April 2007 - NOA received From

06 or 07 April 2007 - applied for I-129F (Chicago)
09 April 2007 - NOA showed a filed or received day
25 May 2005 - It was transferred to California Service center)

Since then there is no action taken on my case, I've checked the processing time and it went over time frame, but no notification so far.

Can you tell me now whats going to happen and how thing will go like what papers i will be getting and what not? do remember that we have attorney in between so i guess all the papers is what he will be getting not me, if i'm wrong please tell me. do give me a detail step by step with time it takes and when should i expect to get approval & call for interview. One more thing what forms do pack contain which you receive for K3 and how many of pack are we going to get.

Thanks
