US Immigration from Pakistan

With the grace of the Almighty, my mother's I-130 was just processed. Now I am preparing for her NVC approval, the question I have is, if I need to submit my IRS approval for year 2022 or can I just submit W-2s for 2022 and tax returns for 2021.

The issue is I am a W-2 employee and I also started a business last year so, my taxes are a little complicated for 2022 which may require me working with my CPA for quite sometime before we can file our taxes(just a disclaimer: nothing illegal, its just I didn't do a good job in organizing everything).

Anyway, I don't want to waste anytime and I want her application out of my hands as soon as possible since it already took a year for her I 130 approval!

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Hi all,

I have applied parents visa and there was request for additional documents from NVC. I have provided updated 1040 and W-2. In my mother application, they have accepted the documents without any message or qualification of documents. However, for my father account they have again mentioned to provide 1) proof of income and 2) case does not meet the minimum income requirement. However, my salary for 2022 tax return is 35,747 with 4 family members which is above required limit of $34,687. Please advise what I need to do now since I already have provided the required documents.

Thank you,

Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum. I am a new US citizen and want to apply for a Green Card for my biological Father. He is currently residing in Karachi, Pakistan. I want to know the process. I tried to understand the process through the USCIS Website, but I want to know more about the steps and the consular process. If someone here has applied for a Green card for their parents, who live in Pakistan, Kindly help me with what documents I need to submit with the I-130 and the rest of the process. Thanks in Advance

I m USA citizen originally from Pakistan.

I got engaged to Pakistani girl in Pakistan. Should I apply her K1 visa now or get married in Pakistan and apply for spousal visa?

I can get married in pakistan but for Pakistanis there is too much back log for spouse visas. The Islamabad embassy is currently send interviews for those with DQ May 2021. So I m estimating it would take 3-4 years. Will K1 visa processing be any faster?

Should it be wise that I apply for K1 visa and postpone the marriage? Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all,
