I have to share a good news. MY WIFE VISA APPROVEDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:

Congratulations and look forward to her arrival home.

I then asked her if it would be alright for me to fly my fiance out to Kuala Lumpur to meet me so we can spend some time together and she told me that its best to leave her put. She didn't say if my fiance traveled it would cause delay or not but she said the best thing to do is just let her wait in pakistan.

Thanks for posting your information it now is confirmed from what I have been saying all along. Do not travel while in AP it only delays it.

Here's to hoping that her AP is almost done.

Sallam Everybody,

I have an update! nothing great on my end but I think its good information to pass!

I called DOS yesterday (April 17) and they informed me that they are still working on the case for my Fiance. There is no time limit of course as we know and she said that some cases can be complete in as little as 4weeks! Which we know from VJ that some are done in even less time (3wks is the fastest I have seen).

I also told her that I travel for business quite often and if this would delay the Application and she said that they are done with me and I am all clear. They are now just looking into my Fiance and that I can travel for work as needed.

I then asked her if it would be alright for me to fly my fiance out to Kuala Lumpur to meet me so we can spend some time together and she told me that its best to leave her put. She didn't say if my fiance traveled it would cause delay or not but she said the best thing to do is just let her wait in pakistan.

Just FYI for my VJ friends!

gohar

Gohar, hope your fiance gets the visa soon.

Hey everyone,

Finally we picked up my husband's visa today. we were at the diplomatic enclave at 6:00am, 7:15am at the embassy Line and got out of the embassy at 3:30pm. It was a very very long wait but thank god we rcv'd the visa same day. I will be flying back to CA in July with my husband inshallah.

There was also another male K-3 Visa interview he also recvd visa approval the same day and was told that he will get his visa via American Ex 2wks.

Well all I have to say is that this has been the most helpful site even more than my own lawyer. :)

I hope everyone who is waiting recieves his/her visa asap and doesnt hopefully have to endure what AP waiters go thru.

hi all,

I have a query regarding the I 864.

We submitted our I-864 today. But my husband's employment letter states that his job will be terminating in June 2008 and these days he is in the process of looking for another job. He will inshAllah get a job soon, but will the NVC ask my husband that who will support me (his wife) after June 2008? and will this cause any delays in our case?

any information will be deeply appreciated!

Thanks

fkh,

I am not sure if this will be an issue but I know that I was approved at NVC level and once our case went to Islamabad the CO said before he would interview my husband we needed a co sponsor. My suggestion is to find a co sponsor just in case NVC or even at the embassy level one is requested. Good luck.

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

Sure has been quiet here for a few days...........

Any new updates from anyone??

I just sent out our I-864 package and still waiting for the Cashiers Check to be cashed for our IV bill.....*sighs*

Yes that seems to be the best way to play it safe. InshaAllaah there shouldn't be a problem but they could flag you for this June 2008 notice. Wishing he finds a good job soon. All the best!!!
