Thank you! I was able to find the one specific to Pakistan

Would anyone know or direct me to where I can find out about how long it will take from the NVC stage to getting an interview at the Islamabad embassy for the I-130?

Does anyone know about how long it will take from the receiving the NOA2 to an estimated interview date for the embassy in Islamabad? Thank you!

Even when you use an attorney, they should send you anything they received regarding your case.

For the spousal visa, can a beneficiary be added to the petitioner's insurance plan once the he/she enters the US since they are already married and not in an open enrollment period? Are the insurance companies still treating it as a life event?

It would be Hindi. My husband is from Pakistan but his native language is Punjabi so he wrote in Urdu since that is the official language of Pakistan.

I received it 6 months after the interview. Right after the interview I've tried contacting the embassy, NVC, and USCIS and spoke to tier 2. All of them said they didn't have a reason. I think your best bet is to marry in your fiance's country. I did a wedding in Pakistan and hopefully when my husband gets here we will have a wedding here too

My husband (at the time fiance) was denied the same way. He wasn't given a denial slip either. Most likely, you won't get an answer from the embassy either. We received the termination notice, but it didn't tell us anything. Your best bet is to have a few more visits and marry in your fiance's country or a 3rd country if possible.

No a Muslim man can marry a non-muslim woman. She does not have to convert if she doesn't want to.

I'm not positive on the Turkish wedding culture, but am familiar with an Islamic wedding. The husband and wife will sign a nikkah or marriage contract. The bride will have a male witness such as a father or brother and the husband will have the same. The groom will give the bride a specified amount of money agreed by the families. The money will be used by however the bride chooses. In the contract, the bride and groom list out what they want in the relationship. Such as how the children will be raised, where they will live, etc.

I've sent a photocopy of my husband's divorce certificate. Only send the original if they ask for it. They might ask for the original divorce certificates at the interview.

For Islamabad, yes the US citizen petitioner can come to the interview with the beneficiary

I would send it to the address it tells you to send it. I sent it back certified mail so I was able to track it.

Oh nevermind I didn't see he was in adjustment. I thought he was still abroad. My mistake

When filing the joint return, the form W-7 has to be attached to apply for ITIN. I attached a link from the IRS website. I've asked several banks if I could get a joint account, but they want him present at the time. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-alien-spouse
