Agreed. It's not bad to check in every few weeks or so, but they will process the case on their timeline without regard to how often somebody is calling or asking about it.

With Pakistan, extended AP due to background checks are not uncommon (PCCs are not trusted, per DOS, so they have to do their own background checks).

What are pccs? I wanted to ask you if you check your status on ceac website.  Does your update date change?

I don’t think they care if you keep contacting them. If they need more time, they will take it. You can’t do at this point. I had a feeling after getting a document they will issue a visa immediately but they didn’t. My case is also pretty straight and there are no complications so don’t know why it’s taking that long.   

Do you check your status on ceac?

Nikah Nama and English translation should be fine

Yes, We were interviewed at Islamabad embassy. We just called the help line number and they confirmed about the document and that’s it. So at this point I really don’t know what to do. 

I think keep contacting them

They asked my previous nikah nama at the time of interview. Even divorce certificate was attached but they still asked for the document. We submitted it and case is now in AP since then. It’s been almost 3 months now. 

Oh, did you contact them after you submit the nikah nama.  I hate that they take so long.  Was your embassy islamabad embassy

Was your divorce certificate issued from union council?  Have you contacted them regarding the marriage certificate?

Divorce certificate is by nadra.  The nikah nama is registered with union council.  I am not sure if the marriage certificate was ever made.  If it was, I would have it.  For me it doesn't make sense to get it made now if it wasn't made.  I have the nika nama, and translation and 2 affidavits.  Nika nama is registered with union council.

do you have any divorce papers?

Yes I submit that

Your case was returned previously due to your divorce documents.  What did you provide to overcome this?  Did your first marriage take place in Pakistan or USA?  Where did the divorce take place?

 

 

Yes it was sent back and we turned in the divorce certificate.  That was sufficient.  First marriage took place in pakistan and also divorce in pakistan.  

Hi,

My husband had his interview at islamabad embassy and the immigration officer is asking him to submit my previous marriage certificate.   I do not have my previous marriage certificate but I have what is called nikah nama and the translation.   I also have 2 affidavits from the previous marriage.  Does anyone have any experience in this area.  I am going to submit what i currently have but I'm nervous because the paper doesn't actually say marriage certificate on it.   I'm not sure how strict they will be.   Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I wanted to ask a question regarding ds-260.  The ds-260 shows that it is reopened.  Am I supposed to update it or wait for the embassy to contact me first.  If you know, please let me know.  Thanks 

Hi,

My husband reaffirmed case was sent to embassy on Sept 18, 2019.  Today on ceac, it says refused.  Anyone have any idea what that means?  My husband didn't get a second interview yet

I agree.  Not many update the timeline or status

Which they were. received on 29th   February ,  after that I didn’t received any response, so I called them yesterday and the lady told me it took more than normal time so I might get answer in 15 days or a month and she also gave a record number. So if I won’t hear back from them I can give them that number.

Man nop I wasn't reaffirm @Moses Bee please how long it took them after

Hi,

Did you get reaffirmed 

Hi,

My question is how long does NBC take after USCIS reaffirms a case.

History:

I130 Case was returned to USCIS after the interview.  Now USCIS is reviewing the case again.  I read alot about how long USCIS takes to issue NOIR and then reaffirm the case but I don't know how long the case generally stays at NVC.   Any guidance will be appreciated
