US Immigration from Pakistan

The credit card denied payment for my (I-130 and I-485 along with I-765 and I-693). I had no clue my bank will do this even when I called 4 times before to approve it.

USCIS sent my paperwork right back but I noticed that they also opened up the I-693 medical examination envelope. I'm really bummed now because I was going to just resend everything, but have no clue if I need to order a new I-693 because they opened it already. I called USCIS and I e said send it as it is and one dodged the answer saying it's my discretion.

I've found that all papers has some kind of printed numbers and codes at the bottom of pages and so does the envelope. May be if I send it back the way it is, those numbers and codes will be an evidence of that they opened it but not me?

Can help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I had a question regarding transferring a case to another embassy. Is it only possible if you have a long-term visa for another country (student visa, work visa)?

Is it possible to transfer a case on a visit visa at all? My husband has close family in Sweden (his siblings are Swedish nationals) and we were wondering if it's possible to transfer to that embassy due to the large wait time for interviews for his country ( Pakistan 1.5 years after DQ for IR-1..)

Thanks for the help!

Submitted my case last week and logged into my online account today. I was able to access my receipt notice. Is this the same one that gets sent in the mail and actually the NOA1? I'm overseas so was excited to see it digitally. In the bottom left hand corner of the notice, it lists the Potomac Service Center right across from the barcode. Is this where my case ended up or is this just the standard address listed?

Also, my case processing time on the website with my profile says 5 months until a decision will be made. Is this really accurate?!

Thanks!

My mother received her Green Card in March 2022 and then travelled back to Pakistan in May 2022. Since then, she is in Pakistan. I wonder how long she can further stay in Pakistan. is it 12 months?

Hello,

So my friend currently resides in Pakistan, and would like to immigrate to the US. He is in his mid 30s, married with 2 kids. He does have an Uncle who is a US citizen however he lives in Dubai. So no one really living in the US. What kind of legal avenues does he have to immigrate to the US? Student visa, like a post grad degree? Job visa? Lottery visa?

Thanks for your help
