  1. In my opinion, applying for a K3 will not hurt your case.
  2. Posting in case this helps anyone else. One can obtain a "NO ENTRY" Certificate from "Baldia Uzma Karachi" (Karachi Metropolitan Corporation/KMC). This is a three page document that is usually as follows: Page 1 - actual "NO ENTRY" certificate, that states that the details from page 2 were searched for, and were not found. Page 2 - details of the applicant (this looks like a birth certificate, has name/date of birth/parent's info, etc.) Page 3 - affidavit for page 2 stating these are the facts of the matter. Contrary to what others have said, and often say, this can be obtained by normal people. One does NOT need to be a lawyer or agent to get this document.
  3. Can anyone confirm if this is correct? The forms seem silent on this
  4. Any updates following your inquiry?
  5. The issue is that by being born in Pakistan, your child is a Pakistani citizen and subject to Pakistani entry/exit laws. Your wife's ID card is Ahmaddiyya. Are you yourself Ahmadiyya? What do other Ahmadiyya people usually do when they need to get ID cards for their children? You may be able to get a NICOP for your child simply through you (wife's information may not be needed).
  6. Relative has a reentry permit that expired ~2 years ago. Their physical green card is still valid. I am aware of the resident status impact. Relative was stuck overseas due to caring for a chronically ill relative and other family related obligations. Some have posted that they were able to board and travel to the US. The question is, what are the chances that they would be allowed entry? I am aware that they can have an immigration judge decide what their status would be, but the issue is that entry may simply be denied? Is SB-1 a better option?
  7. Wife sponsored a sibling back in 2016~2017. I know the actual case can take 15-20 years, but should we expect anything beyond the NOA1 at this point?
  8. You have to put some type of Pakistani address. Usually it is your home or one of a close relative (where you would presumably stay if you were to ever visit Pakistan). That's just how the system is made. It is like ID cards or DLs in the US. And before you say "bUt I LiVe iN aMeRiCa", that's just how the system works.
  9. It has both addresses because it functions as a standard Pakistani ID card within Pakistan.
  10. No harm in applying for K3 since there is no fee. There is a greater than zero probability that it helps.
  11. They will technically have to remarry their spouse so there is a new marriage date. Note this is very complicated because of Pakistani divorce laws.
  12. Pakistan does not require a marriage to be registered locally. You and your spouse should update your ID cards (using your South African marriage certificate) to show married status. That is the only "local" requirement.
