Pakistani Tourist Visa

[Brendalee007 0]

Ok so, here's the deal. My fiance and I have not seen each other since March 10,2010. It costs thousands of dollars to visit anywhere and we had reservations in Bucharest before we discovered he needed a letter of invitation. So, i can go there, no problem as a US citizen but because of the terrorist ####### going on by way of others, he can't go without this letter. I have lost our flight and reservation money. The reservation is still in affect if you know anyone who wants to stay at a five star hotel! Anyway, we chose that hotel because we didn't want issues with no heat, ect. seeing as our trip was to be in January!

That being said, we are now trying to find a way to see each other. Every country is so ####### about how we can't hold hands in public, no PDA's! so, I don't want to go to an arab/muslim country. I would rather he came here. We have not filed our K-1 visa yet because we wanted this one more vacation under our belt first and because of our tax situation. So, this being said, here's my question

Has anybody who is an american citizen been able to use a tourist visa for their Pakistani fiance to come and visit here? Is it just to difficult? He has a mother he cares for at home and a very solid job and money in the bank. but we don't know if he would be able to come here. I only want to spend time with him and let him get to know my family. Any advice???? I miss him and we don't have the money for booking hotels and flying everywhere. Not if we are to show them that i can take care of him when he comes here.

Please help!

I only have one question? If he is caring for his mother then how is he going to come and live in the USA?

I was wondering the same thing.

As far as a tourist visa for the US is concerned than the only way of finding out is applying.

I would say is that the only way to find is apply, the terrorist ####### you talking about would be applicable even while applying for tourist visa.

That is not going to go away.

Very slim to no chance he will obtain a tourist visa to the US. Have you tried meeting in Turkey? Istanbul is beautiful.

Unfortunately the OP does not want to visit in the city where she cannot hold hands in public, well there are not very many countries or cities left, where she can do that and her bf would not have to go thru security details.

I was not referreing to any country or city specifically, I just said in general wht OP wants, there are not very many countries or cities left that would let them do that.

I would have thought it was the other way around, on the basis of where I have been, only certain parts of Asia, a few bits of Africa?

Getting a tourist visa to the USA for a Pakistani is rather difficult. I would just try and apply for one. If it gets denied, fly to Istanbul. Fantastic city and a great place to meet for the two of you.

Boiler - for pakistani to get a tourist visa for any country would be difficult. Firt they would have to show a good financial standing and then the background check.

Only ocuntries that would let a pakistani have a tourist visa without much hassle are mostly islamic countries, where holding hand of a non married women in public would be a big no - no.

It is about imposable for anyone that is male to get a visitor visa for the USA......when they talk about showing strong ties to Pakistan so that they know he will return they are talking about having a wife and child that he is leaving behind.....in Pakistan you can purchase anything including showing a healthy bank balance......

I have seen a lot of Pakistani in Bangkok he might try there.....it does not seem fair but sadly thats the way that it is

Have you considered traveling with him to Spain? What kind of invitation would he need? I know my fiance and I first met there I got an invitation letter from my cousin. He only could stay 30 days and it was very hard to get that visa. I think you need to just go to Pakistan. What is so hard about going there? I mean you say he needs his mother then how will he make it over here without her? It is best for you to just forget the stuff going on there and go see him. I am going to meet my fiance in Pakistan. This will be our 3rd meeting and then we will marry over there. I mean it may be because I am Desi but I am not scared to go to Pakistan. I feel safe because I only fear Allah and also I know my fiance loves me and wont let me get hurt. But in your case I suggest you try to travel to a country like China, Spain or Japan. Try to make some friends from there and get an invitation letter if you have too. I know it is weird but you are limiting your choices. Why do you need PDA anyway? Save that for the hotel room!
