Hi Samba87, Hope you are doing well. Did you get an RFE for submission of WhatsApp/Facebook chat between you and your wife? Is it necessary to submit it?

I am in the process of submission of I-130 for my wife (Pakistani). Can you please let me know the document checklist?

look at the list I posted above, the list has not changed

It would probably be beneficial to have your wife help you

provide any evidence of your visits to each other from March 2017 until present

provide any evidence of ongoing relationship from March 2017 until present such as records of communication

I got my interview in 31 July 2017 and  they took my passport and told me that i need to get a new police clearance from my home country,so i got one and i sent it to them and at the visa check website it was written administrative processing, in 8 November they changed it to ready, in 10 November application received,11 November administrative processing and then application received 2days later,last update was one 13 November the status should be updated within 2 business days and in 20 November the concealer officer called me for interview in 3 December the interview was same like the first one then they asked me to answer some questions and send it to them by mail the questions was about my address since 15 years and my social media account (fb Instagram Twitter and my all phone numbers i have used since 15 years ) and since December 03 till today 22 February the same status administrative processing I have contracted the embassy several times by sending them mail and they use to reply ur visa under administrative processing as soon as it complete we will contact you 😞😞 the thing they didn’t change the update of the status since the 2nd interview which was on December 03 2017  please if anyone knows about it inform me

you are in administrative processing (AP)

there is no timeframe for ap, it can last weeks months or years

there is no way to speed up ap

the embassy will contact you if anything is needed

every time the date changes it means there has been an update to your case (that can include an inquiry you have made)

Hello,

 

My sister in law and denied a B1/B2 visa. She didn't present any of the letters or the I-134. So, I'm going have to make another appointment for her.  Do I need to start all the way over? Can I use the same DS-160 form?  Use the same login information to make another appointment? 

 

Thanks!!

 

The IO is not required to look at any information or paperwork the applicant may have brought to the interview, unless you sister-in-;aw has had a change in circumstances she should expect the same result

Did not see this specifically addressed, but you will need an affidavit of support

your husband's OUS income will not be acceptable evidence that he can support you, the income needs to be current

he needs to get a job or you need someone else to sponsor

Beautiful place, definitely make a visit there and have him visit you first

What country is he from?

My husband made a trip back home last week, amd unfortunately experienced a mental breakdown. He has bipolar disorder, and I think being home triggered a bad episode for him. 

 

1) We haven't filed taxes yet and they are due soon. HE does not need to be physically present in the US to file taxes, I am assuming he has a SSN

 

2) I dont know how long it will take for him to stabilize and come back. That is ok, he can stay outside the US for 6 months without causing a likely issue

 

3). He has pretty much lost his job unless he comes back within this week, which is possible, but not assured. sorry to hear that

 

4) I'm extremely worried about him as he has no home there, no income, no source of food, no way to get medical help. maybe you could go visit and help him

 

All of these combined are terrifying me that he will ruin the visa we have worked soooooo very hard for. 

 

Can anyone explain to me what happens if he doesnt get back in time to file taxes? And does him leaving like this have the potential of voiding our visa? He has spent a total of 5 months here since we got the visa. So he hasn't even finished half a year. 

 

He says he will come back next week, but he is also going back and forth on that. At the same time, he is extremely paranoid that having left, he will be arrested upon entry. (Part of his illness) So getting him here in time to do taxes and avoid losing his job is looking to be quite iffy. 

 

How long can he stay out without causing damage to the green card?

 

Thank you all in advance.

You do not need the physical GC to work

you need your SS card, which if you haven't received can go to your local SS office to apply for one (often that is faster than waiting to see if the one you requested in the DS260 arrives)

the CR1 visa foil in your passport acts as a GC for 1 year following PoE

Hello everyone...i hav my interview planned next month. my wife filed case for me as she is a US citizen. She lived with me for almost a year but she is expecting and is in US these days so wont be accompanying me for interview.

i have few querries that i have Urdu nikkah nama and the Nadra certified(english one) so do i have to get my urdu nikkah nama translated into english one. 

Plus what other documents may b required and other questions be asked at the time of interview.

 

thankyou

You need your Udru Nikah Nama, English translation of your Nikah Nama, the NADRA marriage registration certificate

Your birth certificate, and translation if it is not also in English (If you use the NADRA birth certificate that is sufficient)

You should also be prepared with copies of everything that has already been provided, pictures, and your passport photos

It would probably be helpful for you to read the Islamabad embassy reviews

any documents you have that are not in English will need to be certified translated, you need to make sure you have your police clearance certificate, that also must be done and translated to English, can I ask you where you are at in the process as different stages require different papers.

This does not apply to Pakistan

What day of the week was it sent on?

Hi, it's my first time post , would like to have some ideas on my situation if possible.

 

Situation :

living abroad , have children , plan on moving to the US in June 2018 , applied i130 in July 2017 and received , been waiting until now and still not being processed . Seems very slow and discouraged , it would affect our marriage if we can't move on what we have planned to be in the US in June 2018.

 

 

 

Any opinions would be appreciated!

 

There is no way to speed up processing of your petition unless you qualify for the expedite criteria

You are within normal processing times, unfortunately the process is slow

you are still in for a wait

its a year + now for RoC

One thing to keep in mind, it is possible your 20 year old will age out and I think it could be quite difficult for your other child to obtain an F1

If you are ready for a long wait(As I know 7+years) then you can start.
Good luck

This applies for siblings, in this case if she adopts them a completely different set of criteria apply

To the OP, I hope someone will chime in on this

from what I can tell you are eligible to adopt them and then you can petition them, you would need to follow the adoption timeline

Khouya Omar & Ally Chokran bezaf lah ybarek fik. 

I figure out with my wife that she filled up the (I 130) and not the K3 as I though. She called them and the answer was: the application didn’t get updated into CR1 and that will take between 6 months and 8 months counting from November. Inchaalah I’m willing to be with her for the delivery. If not I’m thinking to take another option such as a business visa to assist the tourism exhibition. It’s my baby and I will do my best & I HAVE to be there, you know how I feel Omar right? Some contributors on here won’t understand that, and that’s why they showed their disagreement of having a baby or judging us to have a baby in order to expedite the process even went so far to speak about my country culture won’t suit my wife !!! 

 

Chokran an Khouya bezzaf maykone ghi lkhir inchaalah !

No your visa will not be ready in time

Your petition will likely be approved in time but this does not account for processing time at the NVC or the time it takes for your interview

You can try for a B2 visit visa, although approval is very unlikely

That said if you have the time and money go ahead and apply, a denial for a visit visa will not negatively impact your ability to get a CR1 visa (provided you are honest in your application and interview)

Yes you can, just make sure you include the appropriate translation statement

She cannot cancel your GC, but she can contact USCIS to inform them of your divorce

In this case, I believe you should refille for RoC with a divorce waiver

Hello everybody i have a doubt abt my visa k1 application ..i was denied recently and the consular said my petition will be send back to uscis and since now 4 months i didnt hear from them but when i check my visa status online it was said:ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING ..what does it mean..? How long this will take ? Can we reaplied as we know this is already denied and my petition is expired..plz need help for clearance.

salam brother

I think you have been quite clear

you were not eligible fir a K1  and were rightly denied, a religious wedding means you are married regardless of the legal aspects

make your marriage fully legal and apply for a spousal visa, hope the misrep does not catch up to you

Interview nearing for wife immigration visa.  Does NVC approve the visa then send the the approval to embassy or is the decision for the embassy alone?

USCIS approves the petition

NVC collects the fees and ensures all the paperwork needed for the Embassy is collected

the Embassy issues/denies the visa

There is no time limit for AP, it can be quite lengthy

I have seen people in AP for 8 years (this is MUCH longer than usual)

the problem I see here is that you where out of status for 2 weeks...... that could be a major problem. Usually with AP no problem is giving but..... you cant deny the fact that you did rack up "illegal precense" which triggers the  3 year ban...

As far as I am aware a ban is only triggered with more than 180 days accrued

That said, there are other issues here

Entry to the US is only a guarantee for USC, having AP you could still be sent to secondary or refused admission

Also having AP is not a guarantee that your AoS petition will be approved or is without error
