Well I do mainly relatives generally none of us are very close. But I have contacted one person who may assist me in this matter. I will know in a few days whether it works out.

Hire a Family Court Lawyer and He/She should be able to process on your behalf and get the Divorce papers you needed.

Otherwise, find someone in your family OR as suggested by "baqir" in the last response to have your in-laws get it done from Union Council.

Now a days Union Council are not processing documents as the approval staff is not available due to new Baldia setup issues in Sindh-Karachi. I am not sure about other States in the Country.

The good thing is I know my divorce is final. I just need the paper from them. I will find someone I suppose (family is probably out of the question, especially ex in laws).

Thanks

you must have some of your friends there. Try to talk to them, everything is possible in Pakistan if you have good connections. what about your new in-laws.

I wouldn't ask my new in laws of this just doesn't feel right. Surprisingly I don't have good connections. Unlike other folks who have normal families, unfortunately I will leave it at that.

I will try though.

Thanks.

Since I don't live in Pakistan (tickets are not cheap either), if I can not find a reliable relative (my luck that my family isn't all that), what would you recommend? Would it be possible to hire someone (again trust then becomes the issue)?

get your divorce decree and send it to the Govt.

Did you read the rest of my post? I also asked how do I deal with the Union council to get this?

Yes - of course they will request divorce documentation. Without it, sending petition doesn't make much sense.

That's what I figured. Now my issue is how I can get the document...sigh.

if your Ex-wife is still in US as a result of her K3 (even legally divorced),it is going to be really hard sponsoring your new partner.i wish you good luck Bhaa

SEnd it to where in the Govt??????

As stated above her K-3 expired while she was in Pakistan, nothing was filed further. She has not been in the US since (As far as I am aware). So what exactly do I have to be concerned with?

My divorce occurred in Pakistan as there was no where for me to file any documentation here. If there is please do tell me where as I have no marriage certificate for USA. I never married her here. I sent my divorce letter to her and the Union Council. Anyone have advice how I can get the Union Council in Pakistan to send me a divorce decree?

I was married roughly 5 years ago in Pakistan, filed for my spouse at the time...however prior her K3 expired during our separation(never filed for adjustment of status or anything). She was overseas in Pakistan when it expired. Now it appears I will be marrying again (not the same person ). My question is if I file for her will they request my divorce documentation from the previous marriage(just trying to get things ready)...honest to goodness I find it a bear to obtain that as I did mail letters of divorce to the town council there, after 3 month the divorce was final but they said they don't send the documentation.

I plan to file the I-130 for her.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the ranting.

i understand why he says he is divorced because according to islam he is but that does not fly with the way the usa say legal divorce has to be done

after that he can just do the divorce legally cuz usa does not recognize some of our issues or law in Islam, he would really need to comply with the legal laws in usa regarding divorce.

Ok so, I should have to worry bout her being able to AOS, that is good. Then I just need to file divorce in court here? For the folks that have been through this, and I hope that no one goes through it, I just think about all that time spent getting her here and for what? amazing what life brings you.

Sorry to hear about your loss, which was really just your dream.

Before you dream again, awaken, my friend.

Or just don't dream

I have a child too (which she planned and I did not), I feel like I have lost enough now. Funny thing is there are certain things you do in Islam that get you automatically divorced and she did one of those things (which I will not discuss). I did not have to say you are divorced three times. I got serious family issues but that there is nothing I can do regarding nor would I. All I am concerned with is do I have to mail the letter for withdrawl of affidavit of support to Islamabad. If so what is the procedure. The worst thing that can happen now is her coming back to cause more trouble.

Are you divorced already? Can you demonstrate that you've been divorced for 30 days?

The only thing I can demonstrate is she is gone, and took my child and I have not spoken to him since. If anything I feel sorry for the boy as she will rub onto him.

You said her K-3 visa expires in three days (now two days), she is in Pakistan, and she hasn't yet adjusted status, so she doesn't have a green card. If she doesn't get back to the states in the next couple of days, she'll won't be able to enter the U.S. to file AOS anyway, will she?

thats kind of what i was thinking if no aos has been done then she can not enter into the usa unless its with in the time frame that she has left on the k3...........

after that he can just do the divorce legally cuz usa does not recognize some of our issues or law in Islam, he would really need to comply with the legal laws in usa regarding divorce.

I have only scanned copies of those items, I guess I will try to consult a lawyer.

Get your legal divorce here in USA. Send copies (certified by the Court clerk where the divorce decree was issued) to the National Visa Center with your wife's visa #/case # and say you would like to withdraw the Affidavit of Support and that your wife is currently back in Pakistan.

That is what I'm confused over, we never married in the USA only in Pakistan. The only case # I have now if the K3 approval from Islamabad.

Thanks.

To adjust status from a K-Visa your Ex-Wife would still need to be married to YOU, and YOU would be REQUIRED to provide an I-864 to be attached to the I-485. AOS from a K-Visa can only be filed based on marriage to the person who filed the I-129F for the K-Visa.

The K-3 is no longer valid, because the petitioner and beneficiary are no longer married.

Time to move on and don't worry about this anymore, it won't be a problem.

But I am not legally divorced in any way here. Also, I know for the fact that she can file that without me being around as she is very deceptive. She stole a lot of documents I had and has previous copies of I-864.

I would feel a lot better if I withdrew the affidavit of support, she married me for green card and will do anything to get it if she can.

My ex-wife unfortunately turned out to be something else. She is back in Pakistan and I have asked her not to return. The K3 visa approval was done through Islamabad. Her K3 expires in 3 days, I am still concerned as she could possibly try to file for green card, I have spent the past month trying contacting USCIS, VSC, and Islamabad US embassy regarding withdrawing the affidavit of support position. I am close to losing my patience as one tells me to call the other and the other tells me to call the other basically sending me in a loop. What do I have to do to get this withdrawn? Also is there anything else I need to do in the states as the I have done thing to cancel this marriage, legally. Thank you all for the help.

Seeking legal advice is the best bet. Good luck to you

Thank you guys, I wish the best for all of you.

So to keep it short, I filed a k-3 for my "wife" and she recieved the visa back in March, by the way she is from Pakistan. So she arrives in March of this year, spends some time, I sent her back to visit her parents for a month as she seemed to miss them. When she came back, her ideals on the marriage and such has to changed to this extent that I need to find a way to seperate from her I believe she is just using me for the citizenship.

My problem, at this point what can I do? I have not filed for her green card and will not file for it. Unless a miracle happens(not likely) this will end in a divorce. I do not want her to be around me nor my family anymore.

Wohooo! thank you that is assuring

My wife has the K-3 multiple entry visa, I have not yet filed for her greencard, is travelling to her home country for a few weeks ok?

Fasel, I called DOS too but they r not telling me wheater visa is isued or mailed. I know my wife had k3 interview on March 6th and she ws approved but not recieved he passport yet. Other who had nterview on March 6th did get passport on March 9th.

any clue?

Once I submitted the documents they required it took my wife 1.5 weeks to get her visa. Basically wait for the magical phone call it can come anyday. Once she gets it getting the ticket to come is not hard, it took my wife 1.5 weeks to get here after she got her visa. Wait some time before you start inquiring as well.

Hi All

Yesterday i came back from islamabad embassy and i had my interview on MARCH, 13, 2007. When i reach the american embassy i was told that i stand in yellow line bar and i stand there for forty five minutes and the guard outside sending the other people who were applying for visit visa after throughly checking the documents and when i ask about me and he told me as your is immigrant visa so the immigrant visa officer comes and takes your appointment letter so after waiting a long then i was told go inside and again after thorough checking i was told to submit my appointment letter at window number 07

I sat down and after few minutes my names was called again at window and i was asked to submit the hundred dollar fee or equivalent Pakistan rupees. After paying the fees in dollars i was told to sit again.

After fifteen minutes or so then they called me and other people who were also immigrant visa seekers we were given the parents information form to fill which was remained with me.

I filled up that form and again my name was called at window a pakistani lady was there and she ask for my co sponsor proof of his american nationality and i gave her the original and the photocopy of his birth certificate and after looking she gave me the original back and kept the photocopy with her and asked me will u interview in english or urdu and i said english and she also asked me a tricky question that when u got married and did nikkah and i told her i m not married and i m on k-1. I was told to sit and we call u again

Finally my named was called and i had to go for my interview, a young blonde consulor lady there and asked me the following questions but first she took my fingerprints of my both hands.

When did u met

where did u meet at

how did the relationship started in detail

did your family approve

what is her religion

what kind of marriage will u have

what is my qualification

what i do

when did u met in person

who is co sponsor u

what is the age of your co sponsor

what work u do in america

she looked at the pictures i bring with me. i had placed everything infront of the window so that if she want i just give it to her emails, chat records, calling cards, wishing cards etc.

she asked about my parents

did u do umra or haj

did u have any criminal record

I told her i bring all these chat email and cards and wishing cards to show and she just reply me that you are well prepared for the interview and anyhow she did not say me congrajulations and welcome to america as i read in other forum.

Did ALI was told congratulations?

She was nice and asked me all the questions politely and then she gave me the paper of AP and i asked that it is approval she told me we now checked ur back ground check i asked how long it take she said it takes she reply month or couple of month and gave me another letter of a courier list with the PINK SLIP and contact your courier

So what it means that i m in the process of approval or approved?

PLS RESPONSE THANKS

You've been placed on administrative processing, theres a lot of info about it in the forums.

Just wondering. Why do they require a proof of meeting?

It's a measure they use to determine whether your case is legit or not.

Wife has visa in hand 2/28/07!!!!!!!!!

My wife calls me this morning, she has her passport with the visa in hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOO!! Thank you all for your help!!!!

The embassy asked me for my 2006 taxes so I sent them to my wife and my wife sent them through a service to deliver to embassy. The gentleman from the courier service stated the it should only take a day for them to recieve. How long should we wait before trying to inquire?

I dont know what is going on with javeds visa.. Dos has no record of javed going to the embassy on FEB 5th and getting a token - blah blah blah.

so now we are still waiting endlessly for nothing. because, we are thinking Amex will call javed but he has not gotton the magical call yet. it is now 16 days later. oh and DOS said our case has changed to IR1.

that token is a sticker they give u right? I know we have not waited as long as you for sure. Consulate there recieved the taxes i sentt o my wife. So I am guessing we are in that waiting period of whats next. I hope your husband recieves that magical phone call as my wife is supposedly awaiting for.
