US Immigration from Pakistan

Hello All,

I am asking for my brother and his fiance. He received NOA2 recently and we are waiting for the case to be at NVC so he can get the case number. I wanted to know the timeline for the visa interview at Islamabad embassy. Originally our plan was for him to get married last year and then apply for the IR-1 visa, but unfortunately Covid happened. So we decided to do K-1. We don't know how long it will take for her interview date to come at the Islamabad Embassy and since our Pakistani people do not like to do long term engagement since we didn't have any official ceremony for that. Does anyone have any kind of timeline for Pakistani Embassy when it comes to K-1 Visa?

There is also another issue, she has family back home and she wants to have a function or some sort of traditional party or ceremony there before she enters USA and I am not sure if she can do that since we applied for the K-1 visa. Is that possible? could we do the ceremony or a function in Pakistan before they enter USA and then officially do a marriage in USA or do a court marriage in USA? I am not sure if that is wise or not. my brother's fiance is the oldest in her family and they cannot travel to USA for her marriage so she wanted to have some sort of ceremony for her family and we were thinking of going there as a family sometime next year and get her with us if her visa gets approved in the mean time. and we were trying to decide when it would be best to do something in Pakistan? We never had any engagement ceremony when they got engaged.

Any guidance would be nice.

Thanks

I know the list of documents is mentioned in the interview letter but still need a confirmation please

Hello VJ member

I got in the US with Cr1 visa on 11 July and still

I haven't received my Social Security card even after 6 weeks of my arrival in the US.

I contacted the Social Security Administration over the phone and they said they already sent it out my SSN by 13 July but I didn't received any mail or my Social Security card SO FAR.

Whenever I contact them they say we sent your card already and cannot do anything about it. Except to wait

Anyone knows to whom or which number should I contact??

Thanks in Advance
