bein part of the milke h. and dood wala era.
I can tell you - its not your beef hafiz. they were friends and it turned south.
as for dood I dont know where he is these days



hi alison how is your process?

Ok! Its 5 in the morning! I am freaking out! This week is crucial! I think they will have the visa review meetings! So best of luck everyone!

Best of luck. By the way brother do you sleep these days in Pakistan or not? How you kill you time? Doing job or doing business?

lol pakistan rocks, no lights in karachi for hours on end.

It is KESC BS and I believe WAPDA also involve in this. Karachi is the largest city of Pakistan but every single Government since Pakistan into existence deprived its rights.
Sorry to say but is very obvious that not a single party sincere with residents of Karachi (No MQM or Jamat e Islami or Muslim League Musharraf Wings)

uhmm
The first matter at hand concerning packistan is the Environment!
the water is polluted and the air is polluted too.
the drinking water is being posioned by pesticides and other chemical wastes.
it can only be changed though proper waste management programs, and various systems.
thats whats is killing the people- not the lights..

666

in the bible the 666 refers to the devils child.

I was offered a very nice job with one of the leading cell phone companies in Pakistan. The pay was pretty good (according to Pakistani standards). I did not accept it because it would unethical to start the job and leave when my case goes through.

I should have accepted when I came to Pakistan. But I was not aware I would be stuck in Pakistan for so long!

Wonderful! Analysis in Pakistan from someone who doesnt even knwow how to spell Pakistan. Even if the water and air polluted its our mother land and we love it! And the things you mention do not kill people! Its poverty in general!

You don’t know anything about Pakistani political, geographical, religious or environmental issues. It would be good if just keep quite in this matter.

Pakistan Zindabad.

Brother, always remember it is employee’s right to resign from the work any time on the other hand Employer has a right to ‘let the employee go’ any time. It is not unethical practice. It is Global Corporate practice.
Well, you can search the job at this point and start working until you will get the visa because in my opinion I would be great if you have a job then you will be busy once your routine life is set then your depression will be released automatically. So get up and start doing something I got every good website for those who are looking jobs in Pakistan, (www.workjunction.com).

Hafiz,
Remember my words after 10 years IT gurus in America will start returning to their homelands (Asian countries) because Asian countries will start offering better packages then US firms.

lakes are killing off compleate eco systems. we wont get into the sewage problems that packi stank has..

Hi All,

How long the embassy takes to take action on a case once the AP/AR from DOS is done and sent to them. It has been 2 weeks for us that DOS has sent clearance to the embassy but no action on the embassy part yet. What is normal timeline in the embassy after AP/AR is complete by DOS? Any one please? Thanks!

Lari there is no real consistancy with the embassy.
E mail them!!!!!!!!!!!!! find out the status . do it once a week if you desire.
the embassy sat on our compleate over 3 months..

3 months??? That is too bad of them. Normally they schedule the first interview within weeks of getting NVC completed case. Why on earth they take so much time later. SO what happened after 3 months? They asked another check on u? Can't they ask all the checks at once at the same time? Why they play this checks tag with ppl?

Anyone else on this forum, got another checks/AP/AR ordered after the first was complete at DOS? I assume that very rare this can happen, but what are the stats here. All of those who are on AP/AR, what is your experience in this matter? Were you ordered more AP after intial AP was complete? Please share info.

in those 3 months - security checks expired..
they ordered again
on April 6th 2006 - til now still not clear.
so we wait. < 2 months later >

Lari,

call the DOS - ask them has the visa been issued.
MO -apprently had his visa issued the embassy sat and waited- his expired. so it cant hurt to call them.

Can they do the security checks all at once? Or do they just do them one at a time? If they keep doing the same checks over and over again this is such a waist of taxpayers money i belief.

this is what I have learned..

1.. they do local seccurity checks " pakistan, intrpol " that stuff

2...if no objections and recommendation for approval is sent to DOS

3. DOS - then they do the USA ones. " the infamous 13 agencys "

4.. if no objections - a cable is sent to the embassy. embassy is supposed to issue the dayum visa- or respond the what ever is on the dayum DOS cable!

5... if they notice they need to do another security check.. Per cable instructions

6....then back to the DOS for more security BS..

7.. DOS performs the security check " of the infamouse 13 agencys "-again.

the security checks are
1st ...we all get CONDOR check-this is supposed to takes ( 30 days ) but most of the time it takes 90days.

then they add other ones like:

mantis, donkey, eagle, lexis nexis..... there is a list of 15 kinds they can run.

the most UGLY of them all is the
SAO < security advisry option > this one has a very short shelf life. like 30-60 days.< roughly >
if it expires. its ran again, and again.
this one can make your petition stay on AR for many months and/or YEARS!!!

SAO is not a check! It is a short for Security Advisory opinion. This is the cable that the embassy gets regarding the security clearance. The Advisory opinion ADVICES the embassy on whether to issue visa or what action to take against the applicant!

PS you wrote a paper on Pakistan! I live in Pakistan! So who is the better person to analyze the situation! And its Pakistan.. not Packistan!

you may live in PK but its clearly you dont pay attention to the enviroment around you.
the web site I found are from YOUR own goverment and green peace.

yeh! Green peace knows better about Pakistan than a Pakistan native! lol!

ali.
I responded to you on off topic..

I dont really care for your replies. I am not going there to read it

I dont even go to the off topic! You posted about Pak here. Thats where I replied!

I e-mailed the embassy yesterday and they responded today and told me the immigrant visa unit will contact my fiance as soon as the adminstrative processing on his case is done. Can somebody tell me who the IMMIGRANT VISA UNIT is? Is this the embassy? Or something else? Thanks

i'd like to know that too....by the way whats the email address for U.S Consulate in Islamabad?

here is ISL embassy's SMTP.
PakIVInfo@state.gov



Department who takes of immigration related issue called UNITIV or U can call 'em IMMIGRANT VISA UNIT

stop being ignorante

Shon its spelt "ignorant".

Anyways.... There are two sorts of Visas that are issued at the US consulates. The department of State divides them into two categories:

Immigrant Visa

Non-Immigrant Visa

Though K-1 and K-3 visas are Non-immigrant visas (as applicants adjust status in the US). They are processed by the Immigrant Visa section also knowsn IV section.

Hope this information is helpful!

not in spanish..

well! umm! Visa journey is an English forum! And we are conversing in English. not Spanish! I wonder Pakistan is spelt Packistan in Spanish too hmmmmmm!

why do you talk crap all the time? manage to get a life..

Shonnies news :

From Congressman to Embassy:

This is in response to your inquiry of May 23,2006, concering K-3 visa case of Bingo.
Bingie contacted you reguarding this case.

We are currently Processing the applicants immigrant visa applicaton under I-130 petition.
Thus, the applicants k-3 visa petition will be returned to the Bureau of citizenshio and immigration
services( BCIS formerly INS).

Bingos immigrant visa application is currently undergoing necessary adminstrative processing
as part of the security clearance procedure. Adminstarative Processing is an interagency process that generally takes a minimum of 6 weeks and has no maximum time limit. The processing is not done at post ISL , but rather takes place in DC. Thus, vis applicant affected by additional screen should expect delays before the case is concluded. it is diffucult to predict the amount of time the clearance process will take.

Once the adninstrative processing is complete we will contact the applicant.

we hope this information is helpful - blah blah.

sincerely,

we dont give a Chop fk ISL embassy

this is the e mail i recieved from the embassy in georgia today. At least they responded back i just emailed them yesterday


Dear Ms denali,



Thank you for you e mail requarding Mr asads visa. Right now his case in under adiministrative processing. It is a procedure that sometimes is required for certain cases, however it is impossible to say how long it will take. Each case is different, so the time frame for such procedure differs alot as well.


We appreciate your patience. Immigrant visa unit will contact Mr asad directly when the administrative processing on his case is done.

sincerely

blah blah blah




Now i guess the next thing to do is call the dos to see if the security checks were ordered?

that's what I would do.

I e mail the embassy today they said this :


Dear Madam,

As I am sure you are aware, visa security procedures have been extremely strict
since September 11, 2001. Security clearance procedures can sometimes take a
very long time, as is the case with your husband's application. Government
agencies in the United States are making efforts to shorten the visa security
processing time, but for some people, the process is longer than it is for
others. Unfortunately I am unable to give you any specific information
regarding the security clearance procedures that your husband's case is
currently undergoing, nor am I able to give you a definite timeline for their
completion.

We appreciate your continued patience.

I hope this information will be helpful to you. now leave me the chop fk alone.

Thanks
we dont give a crap embassy!

visa visa visa

are you having a melt down?

I hate this stupid ### freaking generic email! I HATE IT! I AM HAVING A MELTDOWN NOW! If the SAO has been forwarded to embassy what the hell is taking so long. ahhhhhhhhh!

I wanna go bang my head against the wall!


Dear Sir,

A search of our files indicates that this case is still undergoing additional
necessary administrative processing as part of the security clearance procedure.
Visa applicant affected by additional screening should expect delays before the
case is concluded. It is difficult to predict the amount of time that the
clearance process will take. As soon as it is complete, we will contact the
applicant for continued processing of the visa application.

Thanks
IV Unit

Shon! What did you write to get this response! lol! I cant get a word out of them except for the stupid generic reply!

With all due respect Mrs.ShonJaveed (it is just a joke)
Michigan, Shon can do anything. She is an American Citizen
She must be mentioned in her letter that she is from minorities group (LOL) and all white in DC are trying to deprive minorities groups from their RIGHTS.
By the way Michigan you will also start getting these type responses if you ask your wife to write e.mails to USCIS/DOS or any other Government agency.
I remembered with the help of Shon last year I wrote a letter to Mr. Vice president and replied me a very detailed letter.

Called DOS - still waiting for clearances/fingerprints.

Don't worry everything will be allright 'Inshallah' Pray five times do Zikar of Parwardigar a lot.

Who did u talk to Omid at the DOS today! I got SUE! DONT ASK!

Psoft I have written several letters to the Congressmen and senators, they help as much as they can. Not discriminating just because I am the benificiary.

I was just surprised that the embassy didnt send Shon a generic email! thats all!

Hello Everyone,

I think we need a group hug. LOL I see things have been very interesting lately. I have not had time to come and post but try and read the new posts in between running around trying to do all things. Ishteaq got his ss card so we are off to job hunting now. JP had surgery and still dealing with this and its after effects for 6 more weeks and then another major surgery in the fall.

Denali/Allison, Omid, Shonnie, Michigan all of you hang in there on the AP. There is light at the end of the tunnel just do not know when.

Hafiz having a meltdown? Chanting Visa, visa, visa. LOL

Really good luck to all and I am praying that everyone is reunited with their loved ones soon. And Danika good luck once your processing starts.

Cindi sorry to hear about your mom and will continue to remember your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Gotta run again.

HUGS,
Mary

I am having a melt down too!

k3 k3 k3

Today, I m down too. In the beginning of June, United States Embassy in Islamabad is scheduling Mid October cases. It’s been three weeks and our case didn’t schedule yet.

be brave
i submitted my packet is Aug's 1st week and interview was scheduled for Dec 27. But finally it held During May.

Atleast you have a great hope that your spouse will get visa instead of going on AP/AR.(Insha Allah).

But look at us/males

I called DOS. The Security check we have pending is..
