US Immigration from Pakistan

We are petitioning for my in-laws. They have a daughter that is 13 years old. Can she be added as a derivative on one of the parent's application or do we file her own application? I know sibling take a lot longer to process

I was in the US for my masters but took authorized early withdrawal due to a family emergency. My SEVIS was terminated and I am now outside of the US for more than 5 months. I am now re-admitted in the same school and same program under new I20 and new SEVIS ID.

Do I need to apply for a fresh visa or can I re-use my current valid visa (which has a different SEVIS number) to re-enter US? I am confused.
This is a grey area, conversations on Redditt and Quora suggest people using existing valid visa with different SEVIS ID but local embassy mentioned applying for a fresh visa again

We just realized that on our port of entry immigration officer took all medical envelopes ( sealed and opened) now we don t have any paperwork for us to take to civil doctor appointment to get our medical examination done . How do

we prove to civil doctor that we have done required vaccinations overseas?

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!

Hello,

I am 33 years old male, single from Karachi. My interview is scheduled for 14th May at ISL Embassy. My priority date is June 2016 and I got DQ in Nov 2021. I just have few questions:

1. What documents do I bring? I am planning to bring

1. Original Passport
2. Original Police Certificate
3. 6 2x2inch Passport Pictures
4. Original Birth Certificate (Urdu)
5. True English Translation of Birth Certificate
6. Photocopy of latest filled I864 & the one from 2021.
7. Photocopy of Sponsor's Citizenship
8. Photocopy of sponsor's 2024's tax return & last 3 paystubs
9. Printout of Interview Email
10. Printout of DS260 Confirmation Receipt

(I wasn't given any envelope after medical test, so I don't have anything to take from medical)

Any thing else that I should take with me? Do these photocopies need to be certified? If yes, from where?

2. I am planning on giving my interview in Urdu. I can converse in English but I am not that confident and I am sure I will mess up due to being nervous. Will giving interview in Urdu hurt my chances?

3. Is there any dress code that I should be following? Planning on wearing a suit.

4. I will have my phone with me. I believe I can get a locker in the embassy. Is my assumption correct?

5. Any pointers or tips that you guys can give me? Any possible questions that they can ask me apart from my relationship with the sponsor (father)

Sorry for asking so many questions however I have waited 9 years and I don't want to mess anything up.

Thank you. I appreciate the help.
