US Immigration from Pakistan

Can anyone please chime in and guide me through the following scenario:

If a sibling of the IR1 beneficiary overstays their US Visit Visa and/or crosses border and goes to canada to seek asylum there, will this decision/process cause any issue for the beneficiary of IR1 who is waiting for their spousal visa while all this happens?

Looking forward to your expertise on this matter as well:

Hello everyone,

I've been silently following this site for a while and am now in need of some guidance. Here's a breakdown of my situation:

• Issue: Due to an error by our marriage officiant, the marriage date registered in my country differs from the actual date of the ceremony by one day. For instance, if we were married on 09-18-23, the official document states 09-19-23.

• Attempts to Correct: I've made multiple visits to the relevant department in my country and consulted with lawyers. Each time, the general consensus seems to be that I should proceed with my I-130 application despite the discrepancy. The difficulty is that all of my supporting evidence aligns with the actual date of the marriage.

• Challenges: Correcting this error in my country has proven challenging. Officials don't understand why a one-day discrepancy is significant and are thus hesitant to assist. They often dismiss my concerns as trivial.

Given this backdrop, I have a few questions:

1. Should I submit my application and note the reason for the discrepancy?

2. Could this difference in dates pose problems with USCIS?

3. Has anyone here faced a similar situation or have any advice on how to handle this?

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone.

A friend of mine isn't apart of VJ but is facing some issues and wanted to see if there was any insight here to help her. She got married in the UAE and has an official marriage license in Arabic with English translation. The document is issued by the court and has all the official stamps on it. NCV's response every time is "Please replace this with an acceptable marriage certificate from a correct issuing authority." What does this mean? It's been rejected 3 times. Is it because there is no sworn statement from the translator and just an official stamp? Thanks!

Hi,

I have filed Form I-130 online for my spouse. Will I receive all notifications and notices online from now on, or will I still receive them in the mail? I have file I-130 online for my spouse , will I receive all the notifications/notices online going forward or i will still receive it mail?

Thanks

Hi,

I plan to file a 1-130 form for my wife, who is a Pakistani national. However, after our marriage, she changed her last name on her passport and ID card, which means that the name on her marriage certificate and her passport/ID card does not match. Please advise me on what proof I must submit for the name change.

Thanks

Nawaz Khan
