US Immigration from Pakistan

Hi All,

My husband sponsored me for an IR-1 visa back in 2021. My case became Documentarily Qualified on August 23rd 2024 and is pending Interview at the US Consulate in Islamabad, Pakistan. I understand there is a backlog of cases everywhere, is there a way to find out which month of DQ'd cases the Islamabad Consulate is processing right now? Alternatively, members here at Visa Journey who have recently had immigration interviews at the US Consulate in Islamabad, when were your respective cases Documentarily Qualified? I am trying to get an idea of when I could realistically have my interview scheduled.

Hi all,

My wife will be interviewing in late April for spousal visa (IR1) in Islamabad. Assuming she does get approved, how long does it take for the stamped visa to be returned?

Hi everyone - i have my N400 interview coming up however I have never filed the AR-11. I think I tried filing it once but since it was glitching online, I gave up and never did it again. Wondering what the consequences will be, if any, and what can I say if asked about this during the interview? Outside of that I think I have a pretty simple case for the most part. Would love to hear people's thoughts and advice here. 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

Hello everyone,

my dad filed for my married sibling in 2011.
In sep 2024, they were requested to submit Aos and the rest of docs. they just submitted AoS and the rest of documentation. One sibling received today documentation qualified email.

how long will it take to get interview date after docs been qualified?

Also, this petitioners income was not enough but assets, cash for petioner and applicant was way more than enough to meet income guideline. Statements for 12 months were uploaded. Before qualifying docs, they sent email to consider adding joint sponsor and have prove of all assets for interview consular.

Now that docs r qualified, and assets cash is more than enough to support everyone. Do we still need joint sponsor?
