No I am not a moron like you. I wont email the embassy everyday and the embassy block my email address! hahahaha! Yes Show you are right any every one else is wrong! Happy? :D

You just dont reply to my posts! I dont need your stupid advice!

Jeez! Why did I know you are going to butt in! PS Please keep your advice to yourself Ms. Know it all! and also my case is NOT at the DOS!

I talked to the embassy today and asked how can I go about talking to a CO regarding whats going on with the case. I was told that for that I would have to come to the embassy before 12:30. so I am thinking I might just do that in two weeks!

The best thing is that I live in Islamabad and the embassy is not very far from where I live. Even the the whole taking a bus to the embassy procedure is a pain in the butt!

I suppose. but, really if your case is at DOS - unfortunately you have to keep calling DOS.

they will have first information anyways. seems like your case is out of the hands of the CO.

we decided to give up on all this sh it and just concentrate on each other. Its bingos birthday..

:dance::dance::dance::dance:

well ignore it if you dont like my advise. funny - you know I am right.

lets see:

you show up at the Embassy. start squaking about you wanna sue the goverment for a dayum

k-3 visa.. :lol: they tell you. sir, have your attorney contact us.

they then document your record with some negitive stuff. not a pretty picture.

or you show up..

and you get told sorry sir CO is avalible after 4 30Pm.

but, dayum its closed at 4 30pm. then perhaps when you finally talk to a CO

he tells you. Sorry sir- your on AP/AR nothing you can do..

either way. Whinner! you cant get no where while you are under security checks!

its an ugly evil but, that is how the cookie is crumbling.

so make 1001 calls to the DOS and keep your sanity. what little bit you have. :lol:

I know it is long time out but that seems to be the norm as it was for ours. Stay positive and I was like I have a date and can count down to the big event now. :) Good luck.

It is messed up here Imran. They only accept applicants at one office for the whole state and they only accept so many. You line up at 6 am and doors open at 8 am. IF you are lucky you can do the written test. If you pass they will not allow you to get a learners permit. You have to take the road test and only so many of those done daily for foreigners as well. And they do not do these tests until the very end of the day so you must sit all day. If you are not lucky you must come back until you have a spot to do these tests. :(

We are going back next week and trying to get his written and praying inshallah he passes and that they will allow him his road test on same day.

Mary

Move to Texas for while and get Texas driving license in no time. :(

Hey everyone

In the interview letter it says to bring original affidavit of support and all. etc etc

but those things we already sent to the embassy-the originals

why would they list that all again-is is because it is just a general letter or what?

would appreciate yr help.

thanks in advance!

Saeedeh,

Didn’t you make the copies of the documents you submitted at NVC? It is recommended that immigration visa applicant have to have (Notarized I-864, other financial documents submitted at NVC along with I-864 form)

It is also mentioned in that interview letter to bring Immigration Visa fee ($380), which was already submitted by you guys at NVC, so ignore that point.
