Best of luck Khurram!! Hope you will hear the good news soon!!

Thanks!

Khurram, hang in there and hopefully it will not be much longer. I told you earlier that the AP is the hardest part since you are in the dark and wondering about how the process is going. I saw you took a few days away from the forum to refresh yourself. Sometimes you just need to take a breather and focus on something else. Remember you are not alone and can always come and chat to us :yes: and hard to believe but once your wife is here this long separation and heartache of the AP will be gone (a distant memory) and you will just go to living your lives as one.

Thanks Mary, I appreciate the offer and am grateful for it!

Mian marked DS form when submitted to Islamabad and his card did come to us automatically. Your POE triggers that you are stateside and then your information is put in the SAVE system and then your card is generated.

Congratulations on the upgraded petition status!

NOIR/NOID means the case is being sent back to the US for Notice of Intent to Revoke or Notice of Intent to Deny. Thrice in the thread above means they were put on AR/AP three times. Hope this helps.

Hey Guys....

Sorry I haven't been on but I have been so busy. I have updated my timeline. Currently I'm waiting for DS230 and praying that they accept everything we sent for the i-864. I just want it to hurry up and get to Islamabad so that we can get an interview. Also just wondering when he go for interview what exactly will he need. Where do you get Police Certificate in Lahore and how much is it? Do u think its possible for him to be here by end of September guys? Our baby will be born that time inshallah. I'm so stress out. Good luck to everyone.

Did anybody that has traveled to pakistan get any vacinations before going? If so, what were they? I am going to swat in October and my fiance said there is not any mosquitoes around that time so dont worry about malaria. I just want to double check.

I do not think there is a vaccine for malaria. Your doctor can prescribe anti malarial medicine which you take like a week before getting there and then continue taking a week after you return. The medicine is nothing more than the actual drug used to cure the sickness. Malaria can be very hard on people who have never had it before.

Do not want to sound like a downer, but my wifes interview date is in september, and our paper work was in islamabad in the begining of june. So, it is highly unlikely your husband would be here by september. He would have to go to the police station incharge of the area he lives in, to get the police certificate, its not supposed to cost anything, but you know pakistan. Also he would need certificates from every city/town he has lived in for longer than six months since he turned 16 years old.
