hey Guys .. i need your help immidiatly .. My wife's Petitionar's Email was hacked by any stupid hacker .. when i recoverd it .. we found an email was sent to visa farud section regarding my case .. .We are are very sad and depressed .. what should we do now ? please any help will be highly appreciated .. thank you so much .. :(

You need to contact the embassy immediately from your email since her's was hacked. I would call since you are the one over there. Call first and tell them and ask what should you do follow up with email or what. Don't just sit around.

What was sent to the embassy fraud division? You are in AP. Is there anyone that has a grudge against your wife? Seems weird her being in US getting hacked and they sent to embassy.

Well, we went to the embassy today for the interview and my husband was APPROVED!!!!! :dancing::thumbs::dance::yes:

We got there at 8:30 a.m. and were walking out the door at 12:30 p.m. Our appointment was for 9:30 a.m., lol. They didn't call us to turn in the medical results, etc. until around 10:30, and then the actual interview happened at like 12:15 and was so short it was actually shorter than the conversation my husband had with the woman when he went up to the window the first time. I went up there with him and hovered both times, and no one cared.

Okay, I'm gonna go update my timeline and write a really long and detailed embassy review before I forget everything (slept for maybe three hours last night due to nerves, so my mind isn't so sharp today).

Thank you to everyone at Visa Journey for all their help. I'm kind of delirious with joy and exhaustion right now.

So one of my friend was interviewed in Tbilisi embassy and they put her in AP because she had her police certificate with her husband's sir name and she didn't send her certificate with her ex-husband's surname. Has it happened to anybody else? I changed my maiden name after I got married and that's the name by which my passport and ID card is issued and for which I got police certificate. Should I get with my old name as well? As far as I know police cert is not even a requirement for Islamabad embassy. What do u guys think?

What do you mean by her ex-husband's surname? Was she married before? I wouldn't think so you need it with your maiden name, after all you are married and CO's at Islamabad embassy should be culturally aware that in Pakistan it's very normal for woman to change her maiden name after marriage at NADRA.

I will be interested to hear it from other people. Please let me know as well once you found out the answer to this pretty interesting question.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Any feedback on this from anyone?

Thanks

Hey all,

Got my interview next week. Just getting all my docs together, don't want to miss anything!!

I sent mostly originals of all my civil docs to the nvc...so do I just take photocopies to the interview (since they will have my originals in hand!)

Any other advice of what extra docs to take would beg realty appreciated! Been reading lots of posts on here and already got most of it figured...just want to make sure I have too much rather than not enough.

One thing I wanted to take was a copy of he completed ds260...but I don't think I can access and print it anymore since it is already completed...hope that won't be a problem!

Thanks

Yup she was married before. She is the same friend from whom they asked about ustraveldocs as well. Maybe Tbilisi embassy is just strict. She is one of my best friends that I made in this process and it was heartbreaking when se told me the reason for AP because this was ridiculous. She was asking me to take another police cert just in case. But I don't even know if it's possible. Plus as far as I know Islamabad embassy doesn't require a police cert either. And I just have 4 business days before interview. So I wanted to know is it worth the hassle. Let's see if anybody has any opinion.

Hi all,

Any feedback on this from anyone?

You can go to this https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx and logon on with your case number and Invoice number.

You will see 3 tabs on top of the page once you login. Choice of Agent & Address, Fee, IV Application.

Click on IV Application and you will see your application there, click on "VIEW" and you can print your DS260 application from there.

I hope it helps. Good luck :thumbs:

yes, it will be interesting to hear from other applicants. I haven't read from anyone that has been treated harshly for Police Certificate from Pakistan. Lets hope for the best.

My two cents worth--- don't get into the hassle of getting a new police certificate. I think you need to give them only what they NEED and ASK. Anything more, especially civil docs will just further cause more questions. Like you said a Police Clearence certificate is not even necessary so why even bother. Ultimately its your choice...

you will be done before i am on the interview…mine is Dec 8 too but you are nearly 10-12 hours ahead of me. I think Teacup is also on Dec 8 from ireland and is 6-8 hours ahead of me. I am sure i will hear the good news… :thumbs: …. for all three of us..ALL APPROVED AND NO AP. :star::goofy::goofy::goofy:
