US Immigration from Pakistan

Filling out the DS-260 family information we are not sure if we should mark these questions yes or no:

Is this child immigrating to the U.S. with you?

Is this child immigrating to the U.S. at a later date to join you?

Both our children are US citizens with CRBA and US passports. I assume the answer is no since they aren't "immigrating" but we don't want to make a mistake here.

Hello all,

I am in my first year of OPT. I visited my home country and applied to renew my F-1 visa as it was close to being expired. On April 1, 2024, I applied via document drop-off because I qualified for an interview waiver.

On April 4, I received an email saying my application had been refused under 221(g). And I was asked for the following documents:

- CV/Resume, including list of publications and references

- Detailed study/research plan and its practical application

- Advisor/mentor s CV/resume

- University admission letter/employment offer letter

- Source of funding for research or degree

I submitted these documents online on April 5. My passport was not returned to me. However, since I had a valid F-1 visa, my DSO advised me to see if I could get my passport back and try to travel on my old visa. I submitted the request for temporary passport withdrawal. However, I didn't receive my passport on time and my F-1 expired.

Eventually, though, my temporary passport withdrawal request was processed and I did get back my passport, and in it, my old visa had been "cancelled without prejudice" and I had a pink 221(g) slip.

Anyway, now I am kind of stuck in my home country until 221(g) is cleared. For five weeks, I haven't received any information from the embassy. My OPT expires in 2 months and I have to be in the US to extend it.

The following things may have contributed to me being out in AP:

1. I work in TAL field.

2. I am engaged to a US citizen and added him as an emergency contact on my application.

I have a job offer from a different country. How long should I wait before accepting the other offer and leaving the US for the time being? It's very stressful because I didn't expect this outcome so I wasn't well prepared. And there isn't much data on 221(g) for F-1 applicants on OPT.

I setup an appointment at a county clerk office instead of USPS (post office had horrible reviews all over).

My father is deceased. What am I putting for date of birth? He had a Pakistan Passport but it only shows the year on it but doesn t have city and country of birth on it.

Why does the agency collect parents information? I use the form filler online.

I want to write a check since my bank charges $10 for each money order but my personal check has my old postal address on it. Would that be a problem? The $35 I will pay on cash because they charge a convenience fee for credit card transactions.

Does the copy of my Texas Driver License has to be on same page or can it be on different page?

I took my passport size picture at a FedEx office. They say that they are government compliant. Has there been any issues getting the picture rejected from FedEx?

Do I need to bring my Mother s Certificate of Naturalization?

One of my relative recently have her medical exam in Lahore. She was asked to take off her clothes completely. She is her lower 30s and complete it. Is this a normal and one should be expected for it?

I had my medical exam for USA 10 years ago and can't recall that I asked to take off my clothes.
