There's been 4 interviews on 17th & 18th of this month....three are K-1's

got the report of 2 K-1's which is AP for both

Now one more K-1 and the other is CR-1...lets hope & wish for some approvals

Well I must say that they are going strict on K-1 visa's

Had three interviews on 9th Jan before me..

Three CR-1's ... 2 Male's (Including Myself), 1 Female (All Approved right then & there)

One K-1 ....... 1 Male (Somewhere from Punjab) (AP)

One Family (5 Adults) ... Put on AP told to wait for 4-5 Months.

So in my point of view there must be something in this K-1 which raises the eyebrows of CO

Well I only say one thing in reply that it totally depends on case to case & CO at the interview window

I saw many ..& many means seriously a lot who have not been asked this Rukhsati & Valima question at all

but to be honest now you have no choice other than to complete all rituals here in Pak

Make him agree on it.. Make him spare some time for you.. without the rituals you are standing no where unfortunately

You can apply (no earlier than) 90 days before the 2-year anniversary of the date 'resident since' on your Green Card.

I hope I wrote that correctly

If not, that will be corrected by more experienced (and eloquent) users.

seems spot on..

thanks for clearing it up on me

much appreciated

Cheers GodsGift225...

This question may sounds stupid to start a new topic but couldn't able to find it

I can apply for ROC 90 days before the 2 anniversary of the CR-1 visa granted OR

90 days before the 2nd anniversary of me entering USA?

replies would be highly appreciated.

Regards

Hi, yesterday i had my CR1 interview, and CO did'nt asked me for 2 pics and never asked me to sign DS-230. but at the end of interview (which was last only 4-5 mins) that you case is strong and nothing is missing but we need to do some AP and provide me Green Slip. as i asked him that i need my passport back coz i have to travel to another country where i'm currently working, he said that once the AP complete,i'll have to come back again to submit passport.

is its normal not to ask 2 pics and not to sign DS-230???

nah bro. not signing part is not normal but not asking for 2 PP pictures is not a big deal

they haven't asked it from me as well but to finish the process you have to sign off

DS-230 as what I know off...

to best of my knowledge don't mess up the situation..varies case to case if yours taking a bit longer

its not necessarily for all...will take 2 months

hold your horses bro. & you will be just fine I am sure

you can never tell as they will make the next few step faster to makeup for the time lapsed

and nah NVC is a government agency for sure..

many congrates..hope the next steps won't take you this long

hey hazel..don't worry until n unless you remember how you filled forms in those last two attempts

don't differ from the information you provided them earlier

Its an immigrant status now so there are very sleek chances of denial compared to non-immigrant

you will be just fine.. this forum is to clear up things not to make mess of them

its very helpful indeed so chillax and follow this all the way

Stay blessed

hi Mariam..I really don't endorse the lawyer's point of view at all

to be honest send maximum documents at USCIS & NVC stage n keep minimum for Interview day

this helps them to make up their mind prior to the interview

otherwise i m sure AP must be coming in the way which u certainly don't want

so act smart & try flood them with watever you have before file reaches to Islamabad

Actually you can get a professional job "strait away" just need to have your degree evaluated and see where your educational background stands. Some schools will offer to accept the degree with addition of a few cources and you will have a bacholers or a masters from a local university (if thats the route you choose) CISCO certificates are a little bit more valuable in california I have a few cousins who moved to california from east coast because of a large differnce in pay and value of certificatations.

ya I was actually thinking on the same lines bro.

just finishing up with CCNP these days so hopefully

will be benefited by this in US land..

I'm gonna be landing in Chicago as well..I have a B.B.A. in Marketing from Dubai. Have a lot of work experience from Dubai and Karachi. Wifey told me to get registered with most recruitment agencies in Chicago. "Hunk" keep in touch as I will be flying out by end of Feb as well.

That's cool.. I sure will be intouch with you Imran as I hav your mail ID as well bro..

but not planning to fly before 30th June.. so hopefully you will be settled

there by then.. & I can take your advices from there on

recruiters could be the best way to get hold of any opportunity

you take care..talk soon

Many Congrates S&S88...so glad your patience and wait of 15 months is over

have a great life ahead and stay blessed

hey guys... just wanna start a thread for people landing in Chicago to start their lives,

list details about things to do after landing till 30 days (or getting a green card).

let know your best advices, considering where to start from if I have Cisco certifications and having degree in systems engineering.

Obviously cant get a professional job straight away, so what to do to pay bills and accessories.

In Pakistan, one can have an Urdu nikah nama, as well as an English one. Should one submit the English one only (has seal), or an Urdu one + certified translation, when applying for their spouse?

Thanks!

Sending Urdu one, English Translation & Nadra Nikah Nama will only help you less questions at Interview stage, so I endorse on sending all three together to NVC.

Stay Blessed

Congratulations... Good luck with life together

cheers bro.

Stay Blessed

hey everyone...

i just checked my case status and it shows that my case is ready for an interview but i have not received any docs. how long do they take to send docs including medical etc.

plz note that i m from karachi pakistan

hey mate..the interview letter(hard copy) was generated and sent on 12th Dec. 2012 & the email was sent on the same date as well

interview was on 9th Jan. 2013...I went there and all good but got the hard copy of interview letter today on 15th Jan. 2013

so don't wait for the letter to be posted to you..reach them with electronic sources

I am talking about Karachi as well

Our tracker was filling up a lot of space so I have adjusted to show the current 2013 visas issued along with the page number and post number to view those since 2011. I do know this tracker is not updated since the last few visas issued from AP but please it's difficult to find those so please please PM me so i can get clear information on those visas issued. Otherwise, i have to scroll from page to page looking carefully and it's really difficult since we share so much together here besides just who received their visas.

thank you for understanding... Have a great weekend everyone!!! and good luck to everyone next week and congratulations for those who received their visas recently.

PLEASE PM ME IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR INFORMATION ON THE TRACKER! WILL UPDATE ASAP

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COPY AND ADD YOUR INFORMATION AS ITS UPDATED AND REPOST

hi EAbbas...bro. can you update my status as interviewed on 9th Jan 2013 and visa issued on same date without any AP...

much appreciated..

thanks...yeah i guess it must just be an honest mistake by the consulate...i just wonder why its very much important for me to come back to manila and do this...since i had gone through the finger scanning before i was interviewed...but yup gotta fly back to manila on monday and just hope and pray that everything is as clear as what they say it is...

don't worry if its there mistake then they won't trouble you

hope its not any of there checks which came positive..

but be +ve you haven't done anything wrong here..

I'm a newbie here and i really just want to try and ease my mind about this visa processing. I had a call early this morning by someone in the manila embassy telling me that i had skip some procedures during my interview, she said that the consulate failed to verify my finger print during my interview and they wanted me to come back to the embassy, she also asked me if i am back in Cebu and i said yes and told me to hold on as she asked the consul for something then said they are very sorry but that i really have to come back to manila and do the finger verification scan. Its been a week since my interview which was last January 4 and the consulate didn't tell me outright that i was approved but just told me to wait for my name to be called after the interview for some instruction from someone in window 72. The guy their just told me to wait for my visa and to leave my mailing instructions on the 2GO window, so i assumed i was done and approved. And now that i am being called back for the consulates mistake as they say it was, my mind is boggled that i had to sign-up here and ask anyone if they had gone through the same thing or if they ever called back to the embassy coz they are being in administrative processing or some security checks...thanks for anyone who care to share a penny of their thoughts to this...:)

sorry but never heard of it before...

but i reckon you gotto do what got to...so carry on

must be just a routine check or a mistake by the embassy people to cover on..

Many Many Congratulations on your Approval. My Fiancee's interview is on the 18th of January, this coming Friday and I will be accompanying her. I have a couple of questions, firstly, how much was the shuttle fees, and secondly, did you notice any females who were having their interviews that day and if you did, how did it seem that their interviews went? I hope our interview goes as smoothly as yours went. Once again, Congratulations

Thanks heaps bro. wasn't expecting it though..

Now they are taking a flat rate for Shuttle which is Rs.500/person

but ya there was one girl called before me & co-incidentally

we both had our medical done at same hospital on same day

at Karachi so kinda knew her before..

she was asked very briefly n precisely I should say

few normal n formal questions about her husband n

then she was told you are approved..

so don't stress specially when as a US Citizen you are joining

her for the interview..added bonus for the beneficiary!!

All I can say is be optimistic and sure about your relationship..that's it!!

Wish you a good experience there and stay blessed..

Thanks Pakigrl1 and Kgwasif for your kind wishes folks

All the best to you guys as well...stay blessed

congrats..yes you are correct it seems like they already made up their mind to approve people or put people on the AP..my fiance also got the visa without no AP ..he is pakistani.. good luck to all waiting still.....

great going.. wish you two all the best in future life..

be strong be together..
