Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[Revived 0]

I heard a while ago on NPR (maybe) that most of the people with CR1 should not go through the name check/AP process becasue they are conditional residents and would go through more thorough background check when they apply for 10 year green card after being in the country for 2 years.

I have also noticed on VJ that most of the people who are going through AP are not I-130 but 129F when they apply for perm. status in the States.

Is it also true that applicants who have traveled outside of PAK before are more likely to be selected for AP?

Thanks for your input!

My fiance has never traveled out of country.. on AP for 6 mons +!!! Itz common names and gender ofcourse! !

Hiya, how every body is doing here? I need help from you guys , I sent the DS230 along with every necessary documents mentioned in that web site. After 5 days i phoned the NVC to get the latest status information for my DS 230 form, The message said ,your case was completed on 6th june.But two days later i received a mail from the NVC stating that police certificate was missing but still the completed case message was on.

I phoned the NVC they told me your wife should provide the new police certificate at the time of interview.in ISLAMABAD.

Can my wife use the photocopy of the police certificate that she ALREADY had for her own record instead of going through the complex police process?

thanx zorro khan

Why do they need another police certificate?

Didn't you already submit one with the DS-230?

When was your wife's police certificate issued?

No, you can't submit a photocopy of the police certificate, but your wife can get a duplicate issued if the original was issued within last six months.

Zorro,

I am not sure why the NVC operator would tell you this when ISL will have all original docs in their hands at the time of the interview. The only reason I can think of is the validity of the police cert or expiration from the NVC/ISL perspective. Although, I am yet to find that information anyware on their website.

This would really suck if they ask for Police Cert again, it won't just be your wife but everyone else with post late Feb. 08 NVC cases. I received a letter from the NVC for missing documents for DS-230 since I never submitted any with the DS-230. Interesting enough, in that letter, they requested all documents to be submitted to the NVC, (marriage cert etc.) except for the police cert. (At this point I had already sent the docs)

Here is the information on the letter regarding the police cert:

"Pakistan Police Certificate:

Pakistan; Available. Police records are available at no cost from the applicants' District Coordinating Office. They may take up to three months to obtain. Because of the long wait for these it is requested that you bring these documents at the point of interview."

Those idiots (excuse my frustration here) could have added this simple information on the instructions website for DS-230. My documents to the NVC were delayed because of the length and complexity involved in getting the police cert, so that time is already wasted plus if we have to get the cert again, it can really cause problems, I know for fact that there is more time and scrutiny involved if you request more than one police cert within short length of time. (twice in 3 months or so, it happened to a friend who applied for Both Canadian and US immigration at the same time for his wife, where she needed the police cert for both within four months time period.)

Thanks

Congrats Elijah - keep your hopes high, no need to be nervous. From talking to other people, it does help you being there personally.

Good luck and keep us posted on the progress, interview experience etc.

Thanks SKY2 and fason, Really i am so up set i called them today again It was their reply, Certainly they are unable to tell me if the police certificate was in the packet or not because they have forwarded the whole packet to Islamabad on 9th june.

The only way they can find out is to have it investigated which would take about an extra month or so. They would take us out of our place In line to do it. so i refused them i assured them that my wife would get a duplicate one .

My wife got the police certificate in may 2008 ,how it can be expired? Common sense does not accept it.The only thing that alerts the mind is that they did not sort out the documents properly.

Thanx god last day my wife got an duplicate copy.

Thanx buddy for the valuable suggestion for the duplicate.

NVC recieved my ds-230 with documents last friday and entered it in the system on the 10 of june. I called today and the message said I had documents missing or incomplete . I called NVC right away and the woman told me that the case is complete as we speak . Wierd how they give you that message that is not true. I asked her about when should I expect a interview date and she said probably we are looking at the middle of August sometime. We shall see
