We have our case at Abu Dhabi. got a letter from NVC to move our case to our home country (Pakistan). I still believe we should move to Pakistan, but my wife says that she has her job in Dubai, and if I go to Pakistan, I may lose this job and Dubai's resident visa. Here is the letter:

"

Applicants living in a country different from their nationality can choose to apply in their country of residence. However, if they interview outside their country of nationality, their visa processing may be delayed.

If you would prefer to be interviewed in your country of nationality rather than your country of residence or designated processing post:

Contact the National Visa Center (NVC) through this Public Inquiry Form.

Request to transfer your case to your country of nationality.

If you have special circumstances that may require you to interview in a country other than your country of nationality, country of residence, or a designated processing post:

Contact the National Visa Center (NVC) through this Public Inquiry Form.

Explain the special circumstances in detail."

If we stay in Dubai, NVC may not accept our explanation and still force us to move. Islamabad is much faster than Abu Dhabi. ISB is working on DQ'd FEB-2025, and Abu Dhabi is working on Jan 2024. Our DQ'd time is Dec 2024.

What do you think? Any advice?

Thank you!

my wife has a memory like a sieve, we've been practicing the civics test questions and i thought she was doing OK on the old test but now with the 2025 test, she seems to have forgot the stuff she already knows!

so, suppose she fails the N400 interview on the civics, on a second test, would she have to answer 12 out of 20 randomly chosen or would they only ask the questions she failed on the first time?

if she failed on the english writing, would she get the same sentence to write next time and if she didn't know a definition on the yes/no questions, would she have to explain only the words she failed the first time?

thanks

Hello! I'm filling out our I-130A form and got a question about employment history, I can't really find the answer online, so was hoping I can get help here. I only had two jobs and I started my first job in 2022. The catch is the form is asking last 5 years of employment, so how do I put that I was unemployed before 2022? What do I put as "date from:" - 2020, my birthday (lol???)? Or it is not necessary to state that I was unemployed before that and it will be assumed? Thank you in advance!
