US Immigration from Pakistan

I currently live in UAE with my husband and we are starting the process of applying for CR-1. We originally filed for K-1 back in August 2021 but that process was taking forever (our case still hasn't even been looked at) so we got married a few months back. One thing I am confused about is, does the US embassy in Abu Dhabi accept the physical application? Like do I drop it off there? Or do I need to mail it to the US from here? Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I need to know to how to send a letter or email of complaint to the US Islamabad Embassy about someone who is doing fraud marriages and ruining women s lives. This is his third marriage and he has abandoned his second wife in between without an official divorce (basically lied on the application that he was only married once prior). I have his name, date of birth and full address in the US. I am not sure if I need his passport number as well. Please be kind when responding since these are the type of cases that ruin it for everyone else who are genuinely married.

Hello All,

So I have applied with USCIS for 1-30 and its almost a year on September 23 that we submitted our case but have yet to hear back. Is there a reason its taking so long for the case to process? I have seen several other people timeline and they got approved in months but ours is taking a very long time. The case status website says Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS as of February 15 of this year. Any advice on what we can do to expedite our case in any way. TIA

Those who had their naturalization interview recently, particularly in Houston, can you take your cell phone into the USCIS building?
