Why are the suspense Shon? Just say why are you going to Pakistan?

My two cents. I think they called her hubby for interview.. Shon kill the suspense and tell us whats happening!

i will pm you about that

Why you guys creating suspense here. It seems to me we are watching some kind of thriller movie like ‘Machinist’

whats goign on i was right, psoft i told you she is going

Okay then C H E E R S ... !!

i think, her husband got an an interview call and she wants to be there with him!

I would be great if he got an interview appointment and top of that it is great idea if she wants to intend that interview with her husband.

well if so. She kept on arguing with me that she would get visa without interview. And I kept on speculating that her hubby would be interviewed again!

You know Shon, she argue for nothing lol.

WAIT WAIT, you get interviewed AGAIN after AR/AP? They don't make us wait another 3 months, right? That would be insanely insane, the lady told my father that they would call him up to bring his passport in for the envelope and final stamp to enter the U.S.A. again.

US Immigration process = Wait, wait and wait

oct interviews, oh boy

Before i Replied Now The Replies to this Topic Were "911"

Hey When Shon is Coming to pakistan?

lol canuhandleit! Chill yaar, lol the more u think about it the more u will get ur bp high! I was interviewed in November and sitting here. Shon's hubby was interview was in august, still nothing! but then again there were people who got approved in two-three months!

Relax, the more u fret, the more its going to get to you. I mean look at me! Lol DOS saying we sent the SAO to Islamabad. Islamabad saying they dont have anything! I have tried reasoning with them! but they refuse to listen!

So now I am just going to wait, I aint calling DOS and I aint definitely calling the embassy to get my blood pressure high!

It will happen, when it happens! All I will do is pray to God! And thats all!

My dad talked to a few people in his area a few months ago that have AP/AR and one person had to wait 9 months (a 64 year old LADY LOL), but alot of them waited 2-4 months with semi-common to not common at all names and some of them were also illegals in the US at one point and have family inside the US waiting for them also. They were issued green card, they just had to do a visa pickup! I think it's because Shon's process went from K3 or whatever to CR1

brother,
Shon is already boarded today (Sunday PIA flight from Houston). If you now really want to meet her and discuss immigration issues then plan a short trip to Lahore lol

haha! or have shon over for some tikka kebabs in gujranwala!

0o0oh yes For sure, Any Body have her or javed's Contact details? Even if u have email Do tell me, I Will Go i was In lahore Yesterday.

Hello All,

I am new to VJ. My wife has her K-3 Interview in Islamabad next month. I was wondering if anyone has had trouble getting a K-3, or if the process normally goes smoothly.

I was reading stuff about some guys (husbands) having to go through Administrative Processing -- does that happen with females too?


Thanks!

yes its bad fact But real that All males from Islamabad Are on AP or on AR, But i m Sure your Wife Will get Visa on Same Day normaly they Send Visa In about 1 week by Courier.

i Noticed While My Interviewing Day That All Females returned happy and All males based no k1 or family Visias Returned instead of 2 or 3.

But Dont worry, Keep All your Eveidence Material Together, Be Honest. Believe in Allah Every thing Will go Well.

i m not a Senior Member here Rest of teh Girls and Guys will tell u Better.

Best of Luck

And by the Way where form u and your Wife Are?

Good luck this week to everyone still processing via Islamabad.




I will have to say almost all females have the visa issued the same day or it is delivered via a courrier within week. One person that visited the forums said his wife had ARfor a few weeks. I think something was needed corrected on her paperwork or more papers needed. AR for women is rare and all ladies breeze thru the processing. It is the males that are put on hold and given the AR/AP. So relax you are near the end of your journey.

Mary

Thanks!

you can contact me easy- all my details are on my Profile.
keep in touch! and I will do the same!!!- shonnie

shon you got visa

Since shon is gone! This place is boring and has landed on second page! hahahaha

So, do you want some Mirch Masala (lol)

Isn't that some kind of chips lol

You are right!! It is …

scottie too hotie

I had some of those chips when I went on a visit to Pakistan this month.

So already enjoyed 'em. cool !!

BTW, does anyone know if Islamabad Embassy allows Direct Consular Filing if the petitioner is living in the US? It's way too late for me to do that now, but I'm just curious if I should kick myself for not doing it. :-)

From my understanding, DCF is not allowed in Islamabad.

Yes DCF is allowed in ISL if the USC spouse has LIVED in Pakistan over 6 months.
but, to be successful the USC would have to maintain residence both in the USA as well as
pakistan to avoid Domicile issues. to complicate matters because, of the exensive security checks
that " men are placed on " DCF is impossible and not worth the efferts making it USLESS. DCF is a possible
option if the USC is "MALE" this is rare because, he USC MALE would have to maintain both residences.
The fact of the matter is the Female < alien> will be issued visa at the interview. unless there was some document request from the CO.

DCF is designed to allow the spouse to be interviewed and visa issued in a matter of
days or a few weeks. providing there are no security issues and no complications the visa is issued quickly.

Under certain circumstances, a petitioner may file the Form I-130 with the US embassy ISL

ok I thought shon was gone from the forum! whats going on!

Hey Michigan, Did your I-130 approved yet?

I have to leave for a while. that dont mean I wont absolutely post from time to time.

thats right

Shon! Lol! Either ur away from the forum! or you are here! Make up your mind! hahahaha!

What you mean is! You sit on the forum all day and check EVERY POST and your addicted to it and these days you cant do that. hahahahaha!

Well, she wants to say here. May be she is in Pakistan (as she declared in her previous posts) and she doesn’t have access to the system (computer or internet) over there as she used to have in U.S. lol
So do not expect frequent posts from her.

que TUE

oh boy this thread is done,

Here is a reply to your question Psoft! lol! You were lucky your 130 got approved at the district office. We werent that lucky.

The processing of this case has been delayed as USCIS is currently
awaiting the results of required security checks. These background
checks are required of all who apply for the immigration benefit you are
[your client is seeking]. USCIS will make every effort to make a
decision on this case as soon as the security checks are complete. If
you do [your client does] not receive a decision or other notice of
action from us within 6 months of this letter, please feel free to
contact us.

For further information regarding the security check process please

Officer XXXX
CSC

Michigan I see you heard back from the CSC on your I 130. I keep checking in daily to see if you have any news.


I am hoping that late next week or the first of the month all of the AR/APs get some good news. Everyone hang in there.

Mary

I dont care about 130. i miss my wife, I want to be back on K-3. IF they dont approve 130 soon, I am going to do a writ of Mandamus, very soon!

Brother, I hired the best lawyer for that he helped me to get an interview appointment besides I used all my friends contact (mostly my co-workers & managers) and visited twice a week local USCIS office.
Anyway they didn’t conduct my interview at all and we still don’t know the reason why my case transferred too many times from CSC to TSC to Local office. As per my lawyer USCIS receive millions of petitions every year and among ‘em 0.01% got screwed for sure so unluckily it happened to me.
All praises to God Almighty. Wish you all best of luck.

I really hope you are just saying this as part of your "I AM VENTING right now " mode. so allow me to issue damage control here - You cant file a writ of Mandamus for several reasons. 1. I wont get into the fact that you are not USC. 2. you fail to understand what writ of Mandamus really is. 3. you are still under security checks.

The reason for my posting is to basicly knock this idea out your head and anyone elses head if they think about persuing it as well. a writ of Mandamus is in essence a law suit filed against the goverment to compell the goverment to make a decision. course, a decison could also be a denial - right? I dont think writ of Mandamus will work in your case. because, your under security checks. as long as you are under security checks you have to WAIT.

I would like to bring out 2 other intresting points. 1. I think you are aware that your k-3 has a very short
shelf life. infact most of the times when the k-3 is issued its expired. the reason for the k-3 is to allow you to be in the USA with your spouse. while you wait approval of your I-130. again, repeating your k-3 has a very short shelf life. point 2. even if you managed to find a lawyer willing to help you file writ of Mandamus
* good luck * the amount of money it takes to file one will be FRUITLESS on a K-3 visa.
how realistic is it to pay x thousands of dollers on a writ of Mandamus, when the k-3 is about to expire.
I hope this above posting -shed some light on the writ of Mandamus issues.

on the flip side what is a canidate for a writ of Mandamus.
it would be a person for example that the embassy said they will issue the visa.
and it sits and sits and sits. after 12 year no decision. thats when you would file writ of Mandamus
there is a case patel - go Google it.

Hi Sqtb

I filed a DCF in Islamabd for my husband.
The condition is that u must have been livin in Paki-for at least 6 months
They I-130 is approved within 6 months also.
I don't know how long it takes for the I-130 to be approved in the US.
We sent in the packet 3.5 about a few weeks back, and will be geting an interview date soon.
Let me know if there is any other info you need!
Take care

In other news, the DOS office in DC wants you to contact them if your CONSULAR name check is

taking too long (does not apply to internal CIS name checks). "Too long" is generally

defined as more than 90 days.

The Ombudsman's office want to hear about administrative problems. Even if they can't help,

they identify common problems and make recommendations for change to Congress.
