Great advice buddy.

 

Houston, TX also has Pakistani consulate, Passport renewal or NICOP and what not can be done there too.
(depends which city you live)

yeah but it's not required, you can use CNIC, why waste 120$ dollars on NICOP when you can use CNIC(15$) until it's required.

No ,its not necessary, it has no value in USA.
If you want you can get it, Pakistani born US nationals usually use it ,when they go Pakistan on US passport ,they donot need to pay visa fee.

Arif Ali, I am so sorry to hear ,, I cant even imagine how you are feeling right now,, not to bash your ex fiancee, but if she really loved you she wouldnt have done that. My husband had his interview before you as a K1, and our K1 went bad, so we got married and now i file CR1, no amount of time would ever make me give up on him. Once again I am so sorry.

It sounds like you are not currently in the US. It is illegal to enter the US with the intent to immigrate.
Furthermore, AOS sounds like a bad option for you if you work at sea. You would be stuck in the US for many months, unable to leave without abandoning the process and starting over.
Why not get married in the US, then file for a CR-1 visa and continue to work on ships and then enter the US as a permanent resident when all is said and done?

Congratulations, Don't forget to buy lots of cloths in Pakistan. Everything is expensive in US.

He tried marijuana once as a teen and now the urine test is positive? Uhm, I'm no doctor, but it seems like he has a lot of liquid retention...

Really? Damn the idiot that made the movie? Although what he did is just stupid, vandalizing properties and killing people isn't the best reaction. It is disrespectful to our community AND yours. Now YOU can't get can't continue with your visa process in a timely manner. If your mindset is to blame an idiot and not the many criminals, stay in your country then.

With all the lies that have already been told and are being prepared to tell there is nothing but trouble ahead.
Do the right thing, and the smart thing, and tell the truth from the beginning.
When she is caught with all the lies, she will have a lifetime ban to US entry.
So, be stupid and live together outside the US. Or, be smart and you can live in the US.

To be on the safe side, I would go ahead and get a certified copy as well as take your original. I found some threads relating to this same issue:

I hope this is helpful. If it were me, I would go get an official certified copy so there were no questions and submit that with your AOS application.

A notarizied copy of something is just affirming officially that YOU have signed whatever document. It just verifies that is is truly your signature.
A certified copy is a copy of a document, (Birth Certificate, Death Certificate, Marraige Certificate, etc.), that the copy is from the originating source, i.e. County Clerk's office or a goverment agency.
So long story short: Notarized document is verifying your signature; certified copy is an original copy from where the document was published.
Good Luck,

Dear God please don't tell me we place blame based on party association..... president's rarely have the ability to make a change in the economic conditions of the national specially when houses are not in his favor or support his actions. The end!

Why dont you blame BUSH

Hey guys just want to encourage the people looking for jobs, Yes market is tough and even tougher for immigrants... work ethics are quite different from many other countries comparatively!
One of my previous jobs was to hire a large number of people for seasonal employment. Just an fyi there are many skilled people unemployed at the moment many whom are over qualified. Best thing to land a job is tailor your resume to mirror the job requirements... no one cookie cutter application will not work for various jobs!
I could go on with this forever... anyways I think someone mentioned this earlier... it is true who you know makes a big impact 70% of jobs are being landed by reference right now. So make connections and use them!
Feel free to PM me if anyone wants some advice, or assistance in looking over a resume.

First off, did you even read the instuctions to the I-129F petition? It clearly states that one of the requirements is that you must have met (physically) at least once within the past 2 years. You should never have filed in the first place. They didn't even look at any evidence you sent them once they saw that you had never met. I can't imagine what kind of proof you sent in for somebody you've never met. Most of us who met our fiancees usually has sme worries about having enough proof, but never meeting?
Nigeria is one of the top fraud countries. I assume you are now aware of this fact and you would still attempt to bring over a person who you have never met? I know you believe all that "God knows best" stuff, but you are setting yourself up big time. You seem to be a perfect mark; somebody who seems to be somewhat naive and blindly accepts whatever happens. If this guy plays you, you will probably be here telling us how it was God's plan.
How did you meet? Who made the first contact?
What kind of work does he do? Have you seen any proof? (I will not give my opinion on what I think he does for a living; yes, it's a generalization, but lets be real)
What is the age difference between you two? Are you fairly close in age or is he much younger? If the latter, that should be a red flag for you.
I already know that nothing anybody here says will change your mind (most people have to learn the hard way), especially since you think God will protect you, but I hope you are not back here in a year teling us how you were used.

Prepare first, then go see him in Nigeria, then file a new petition. Maybe the pastor will reimburse you the wasted I-129F filing fee.

Don't let a pastor advise you on immigration. Is this by chance a church with many Nigerian immigrants here? I'm thinking the pastor might somehow be trying to facilitate immigration fraud...
If I'm wrong, you're in for perhaps the most difficult US consulate to interview in the world, and this will likely be a very difficult process for you. You need to extensively prepare.

I'm not only baffled, but confused in so many levels; I admit it. So, your pastor, not an immigration lawyer, gave you instructions on how to handle this incredibly frustrating AND expensive process. You have A LOT of reading to do... and that's just for a "reality check." Then go ahead and read about the process. Praying will not get you approved. Being obedient to the rules will.
Lagos is in the top 5 most fraudulent countries, regarding immigration. You must prove your "fiance" is well intentioned and your relationship is real.
Good luck!
I'm still scratching my head.....

I think he is telling us what the pastor said other them ask question on what next to do.... may be is pastor work at U.S consulate....

Why was your pastor involved? is he familiar with matters regarding the immigration? While your going with God make sure you study everything so that you dont waste anymore money and stress.

all is permissible.
you can wear anything you want.
if you would like to feel comfortable, find a local mosque, talk with the imam, then ask about local gatherings and meetings. Some communities have banded together, and live in the same area so the social more` of 'not fitting in' is OK.
If you follow Sharia Law, get to the Iman, ask for a local interpretation so you won't feel undressed.

he is just a troll he is not even a Muslim as in Islam its not allowed to visualise Allah as he has no physical body as human do then how the hell he knew that the gay with his green card was Allah and not Shatan.Because if It was Allah then he will have a saudi visa for you to go and visit and live in the holy land where pakistani muslims are respected right ? the second thing is that a true muslim never care for material things but you want your green card so badly that you cant stop thinking about it even in your dreams .i will never go to a place where i know i will be treated bad just becuase of my religion why not move back to pakistan or saudi arabia and live a peaceful and respectful muslim life come man it will be easy for you
