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. (L) (L) (F) (F)

:dance: :dance: CONGRATULATIONS !!! :dance: :dance:

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

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 !

:dance::dance: My wife got a call from the American Express to come tomorrow and pick her visa up! :dance::dance:

Congratulations Khurram!! :jest:

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 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!
