I am a little confused about something. When I file for the waiver for my husband if he needs it ( allah na karay) than do I apply for it here or he does it there. The posts that i have been reading have lead me to believe that he will hand it in over there. Yesterday I called some lawyer that my friend gave me the # for and he said that u need to do it from here. Does anyone know the way? And is it faster if I do it from here? I mean I did all the paperwork thru here so I am not sure.

Drop me a PM perhaps we can talk on yahoo and MSN, I will help you through this procedure if you can provide me with details. I am no lawyer but I have done lots and lots of reading on the waiver cases.

Also just my opinion, but I dont believe in this pre-paid legal stuff. If you are gonna hire a good immigration attorney, it will cost you money. Laurel Charges money but delivers, unfortunately she cannot expedite cases. Islamabad is very slow in handling Waiver cases BUT she has a very high success rate!

A tax attorney cannot give you immigration advice let alone advice on waivers, thats what I think happens with Prepaid legal. I would suggest contacting AILA, they give recommendations on Immigration lawyers in your vicinity too. But lots of scam artists out there so be very careful. I have been stung by bad legal advice myself too.

If he is in the US and has been told he needs to file a waiver then your husband will file in the US. If he is in Pakistan, he will need to file from Pakistan. And the fact that what kind of visa he was in the US for, will determine if he will have to file a waiver.

The good thing is it looks like he complied with a voluntary departure, so he doesnt have to file a second waiver. Ask your husband what kind of visa was he on? IF he was on B1-B2 and over stayed yes he would have to file waiver if he stayed more than 6 months. If he was on F-1 student visa, and stayed in country for years he does not have an over stay as students are admitted on D/S status and over stay does not incur until and unless Judge deems one deportable and then you dont comply with VD.

Prepaid legal has immigrations attorneys! Pre paid legal you request the kind of attorney you

are wanting. for this process I have had the same attorney. for my divorce

I had a diffrent one. Pre paid legal is just that PRE PAID. I have been a member for a very long time

they helped me with my international divorce. The law Firm is up the street in a building. I first got

membership through my own company.

Wow. I am assuming that they are not marriage or family based visas. It is end of the year physical for governmental offices. I am sure they have to wait for more before they can issue student, work, etc. Family based have no limits.

Sorry to say Mary, but they were K-1 visas. My God the officers were GRILLING applicats! They refused three K-1s infront of me! All cases different but the CO said that the dressing in the pictures the bride and groom have too much of good clothes on and they are probably married and not engaged!

All three were refused visas and said that there will be an investigation, I felt like throwing up there.
