Hello,

My husband recently traveled to Karachi, Pakistan on an expired 10 year green card without realizing it. When he tried returning after 3 week trip-he was denied boarding. We contacted US Consulate in Karachi. Were told to apply for "Transportation Boarding Foil" which we did through their website and paid the $575 Dollar fee to USCIS website After a lot of emails we were told to make an appointment online and someone will call us. We weren't able to make the appointment , No one picks up the phone at Consulate. Everthing is done via email. So were being told it could take up to a year for this process and were better off just applying for a visa instead. Once he's in US then he can apply for green card renewal. Does anyone know if this would be the correct way to go about this situation? Should we hire an immigration lawyer? Were getting conflicted information. I am a US citizen. He's in dire situation as he has his job to return to&support his family.

Hello, dear. I am planning to travel to Pakistan. My conditional green card has expired, but I have an I-797C extension valid for 48 months. Do you know if airlines in Islamabad will allow me to board with my expired green card and the I-797C extension?

Thank you.

Hi everyone.

I am looking for your kind suggestion regarding process of EB2 NIW.

Currently I am working as Trade finance officer in banking sector from last 6 years and having MS Finance Degree. I want to apply for EB2 NIW, should I consult with lawyer or should I process the case by myself.

Hi Everyone,

I am creating this forum for all the applicants who are going to submit their petitions in December 2024 for I-751 Removal of Conditions on Permanent Residence. Mine was delivered on December 3rd. I have received and IOE number on December 5th.

VISA CLASS: F31
YOUR CASE IS CURRENTLY AT: NVC
FOREIGN STATE OF CHARGEABILITY: PAKISTAN
INTERVIEW LOCATION: ISLAMABAD
PRIORITY DATE: 2006

_____________________________________________________

I've been living with my family in Saudi Arabia as an expatriate since ~2004 and have Iqama, School Fees, Rents/Bills, etc. to prove the fact.

Should I request NVC to move my Interview location from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia? Is it possible? Is it worth it or would it create more issues?

We are currently in the process of getting DQ (Form 1099, and W-2 left).

I've heard the wait for Islamabad, Pakistan is around 2 years long while the wait in Saudi Arabia is 1 year long but am concerned about the No. of Visas given in Saudi Arabia vs Pakistan and all other things like if I'm even applicable for shifting the location.

Any advice?

My mom and dad came to the US and they would like to sponsor their kids one of them is 16 and one is 18 what s the process?
Any piece of advice would be appreciated

thank you
