US Immigration from Pakistan

We submitted the I-864EZ. On tax returns, our 2023 income was around 30k, 2024 was around 50k, and the current estimate is around 130k. (1st Jan 2025 -31 Dec 2025)

Will it cause issues during the visa, as we are not expecting an interview before May 2025?
We did provide his employment verification letter, but not the pay stubs.

We got the following message:

The income reported as stated on form I-864, I-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos and https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. A consular officer will decide if you meet these requirements at the time of the interview. Note: You, as the sponsor, and any other sponsors household members and joint sponsors, must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as: * Other income * Assets * Proof of current employment Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center CEAC. You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview.

So my wife s case was at the NVC in feb 2025 and they asked for additional docs, i submitted them after which look like they accepted the doc and i got a message saying we were DQ. now this was march 2025.

so we are waiting for the Interview date, the other day I decide to login to the NVC just to see if there s anything to see and what I saw confused me.

i see the original message saying that the case has been DQ as of march however they are indicating they need the same additional document they previously asked for; the same doc they asked for previously, that I uploaded they reviewed and accepted and DQd the case.

I got no email indicating the NVC wanted me to submit additional documents and again she s DQ according to the message in the NVC system.
So my question is what s going on?

1 has anyone had a this kind of an experience?

2 how did they deal with it?

3 what was the outcome.

appreciate any insight and experience anyone can share

Hey everyone! I m currently in the process of applying for the IR-1 (Immediate Relative) Spouse Visa from Pakistan, and I was hoping someone could guide me regarding the required family-related documentation.

Specifically, I need to clarify:

Do I only need the Marriage Registration Certificate (MRC) issued by the Union Council?
OR
Do I also need the Family Registration Certificate (FRC) issued by NADRA?

Here s the challenge:
My spouse is a U.S. citizen and not a Pakistani national, so in order to be included in the FRC, they would first need to obtain a Pakistan Origin Card (POC) which is an entirely separate process and would add significant time and paperwork.

So my question is:
Is the MRC issued by the Union Council sufficient for the IR-1 visa process, or is the NADRA-issued FRC also mandatory even when the spouse is a foreign national?

Any help from someone who has gone through this process in Pakistan would be truly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Am submitting a ds 260 form for my wife for her cr1. Should I go ahead and get a police certificate now to be submitted with the other civil documents OR after the ds260 is submitted \approved?

im pretty certain it s now so it s submitted with the ds260 but id rather be clear and do it correctly than take a misstep.

thank you in advance for your help

Can IR1 visa holder (first time) travel to the US if their spouse is not present at the moment in the US?

Also, is it advisable to apply for re-entry permit after receiving physical green card? Or we can apply for the re-entry permit while my green card is on the way? Actually I am in the middle of the contract and can't stay in the US for long time, so I am thinking to save some time and apply for re-entry permit and get it ASAP.

Thank you
