US Immigration from Pakistan

Hi everyone.

I filed K-1 back in August 2021. The process has been taking forever, which has been frustrating. Also, he's from a high-risk country which could mean an even longer processing time. So we decided to get married yesterday in his home country instead. How do I now cancel K-1? And how long do I need to wait before applying for the CR-1 visa?

I am asking on behalf of my brother and his now wife. They just recently submitted their AOS documents along with evidence as requested. They did not do parole form i-131 because they didn't know how long the AOS will take and when she would be traveling again. I helped them fill the documents. But the question they have now is that can they still go ahead fill out the I-131 if she has only an idea that she wants to travel the end of the year or something for her sister's wedding in her home country? Is that possible or that document has to be filed with AOS? If they file now, will they have to pay the fees for i-131 or can they submit it as is without the fee? They just recently filed it so they have not even received the receipt notice for the AOS yet.

TIA

I applied for my mom and dad on December 18th 2021 and since that day there is no update on there case except the receipt notice, they live in Pakistan..is it normal?

Hello

I am asking on behalf of my mother-in-law's N-400 application. This year she will complete for her 5 year rule. A bit of background: Her daughter applied for her 5 years back and since they reside in Illinois, my mother-in-law's home address is illinois address on her green card. the question I have is that we never changed it with USCIS but she has been living with me and my husband in Maryland since covid started. In the last 5 years she has lived in Pakistan or visited Pakistan many times. In the beginning it used to be 5 months in a year but since covid, her trip to pakistan has amounted to for 2 months or less in the last 2 years. But she has been staying with us in maryland since then and we never changed her address with USCIS, how should we proceed with her N-400 application. She goes and stays with her daughter in chicago for 2 months or less but since covid, she has been with me and husband and we have changed her id as well as her insurance and bank account with our address. So for N-400 application, should we put her new address or do we need to do AR-11 first?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

This site is so helpful! I was looking for general advice. I'm a citizen married and my husband is in Pakistan. We were looking to meet somewhere in between (Turkey, UK, Dubai, etc) for 2-3 weeks while waiting for IL. We are still at NVC stage and I have visited him in Pakistan a couple times but I know the backlog in Islamabad/ Pakistan is long. I saw that visiting another country can sometimes put people, men especially, in AP? Is that the case even if visiting with spouse? I just wanted some advice as I would like to avoid anything that could potentially delay timelines. He has never left Pakistan before either.

Thanks!
