I live in California. To be honest I cannot remember if I answered yes to that. Is there any way to access my DS 260 again? 

Hi! So can I use my CBP endorsed immigrant visa to apply for my social or driving license and stuff? 

Hey guys I landed on Los Angeles on the 17th of December. Am still waiting waiting for my green card. When I tracked it said its still in process... Anyone have any idea how long it takes for it to come in the mail usually? 

That's good. U should be okay then. 

So basically. You will need to get a new birth certificate issued from NADRA. Secondly you will need to make sure the dates on your NADRA divorce certificate match the dates of the Union Council divorce decree(stamped ruppee paper) stating the reason for divorce and attested by a lawyer. They will ask for you to submit your divorce decree, divorce certificate at NVC. You need to make sure all the dates on the union Council divorce decree match the dates on the final NADRA certificate. 

Hey guys. Any idea if you can reschedule your visa interview at Islamabad embassy? Its for a CR1 spouse visa. Would rescheduling adversely affect my future interview date or the outcome of the case? Has anyone experienced rescheduling at Islamabad? Please advise!? 

Does anyone know for sure if the US citizen spouse can accompany the beneficiary to the embassy in Islamabad for the interview?

Also another question. There is an option for "Additional Documents" on the CEAC page. Can I upload evidence such as trips made by my wife during since we submitted our I-130 last August? or is that option for something else?

Members!!!! could you please assist. What are my options on the below:

I submitted my DS-260 but not the rest of my docs. I had to put in alot of addresses as Ive moved around alot. And in the process I forgot to put one of my addresses in Malaysia. I was there from 2007-2008. I realized after submitting my DS260. I still need to submit the rest of my financial docs and supporting docs (marriage cert. etc...). Is there anything I can do?

Hey. So I even have to upload my first marriages Nikkah nama? 

Thanks!! So the ruppee paper is important it seems just I'm case. But what do u mean by copies of notices that were sent out to both parties? I sent a copy of it to my ex back in 2015. 

CEAC is asking for two documents as in attached picture. 

Dear fellow Pakistani members. I had a question for members who had been previously divorced and are filing for CR-1 with new spouse. 

WHAT DIVORCE DOCUMENTS DID THE EMBASSY ASK YOU FOR?

AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE IS THE INITIAL DIVORCE AFFIVADIT WHICH IS PRINTED ON "RUPPEE PAPER" & THERE IS THE NADRA DIVORCE CERTIFICATE. IS THAT IT? OR ARE THERE ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS REQUIRED? I AM AT NVC STAGE AND NEED TO SUBMIT MY DIVORCE DOCUMENTS. NOT SURE WHAT TO SUBMIT.

The priority date to call for Texas shifted?

 

My priority date is August 10.

 

As of Yesterday, the priority date to call for inquiry was July 17. This shifted to June 10. 

 

I guess this is more bad news to recent filer than me. But it's not good for anyone.

 

Anyone w Texas Service center getting lucky?

Hi yes. We had out I-130 approved on March 25th and it was sent to the state dept. For processing. Our application date was August 20th 2018.

Congratulations!! Great news. I see that your consulate is Islamabad. Can I ask what did you send in terms of marriage certificate? I got married in Pakistan too and I sent an official English translation of the nikkah nama and the NADRA Marriage Registration Certificate. We didn't send the Urdu nikkah nama cause we thought it might be pointless since it's all in Urdu, but I'm concerned that we might get an RFE for it.

 

Should I start freaking out because people ahead of me are getting approved? 🤔

I think we sent the official nadra one, the urdu the English translation, not sure will reconfirm with the wife. We front loaded our application alot. Like 100+ pages of stuff. Was pretty heavy when we sent it in.

Wonderful! Congratulations!!!!

So the website still remains pending? 

Can you please update your timeline so that VJ can calculate the estimate time for others? Thank you!

Website has updated too today! Got updates on the apps also. Updated timeline on my profile. 

Hi guys!! Just to give you an update. Our petition was approved for i-130 on the 19th. We got the notification via post today!! My application date was August 20th 2018. Hang in there! Seems they are chugging along at the Texas Service Centre. The letter said the file has been sent to State dept. And that I (petitioner) shall be contacted soon.

USCIS got my I-130 on 20th August 2018... At the Texas service center. still waiting... Anyone else with a date around mine heard anything?

Am a little confused here.... I'm married to a USC and have applied for our CR1. We met a in Thailand whilst we were both on holiday (pure luck/fate). We knew their was a spark straight away and a few months later went met up in Thailand again and spent around 2 weeks together alone. Anyway fast forward a year and we are married. So according to this it seems the embassy will say that this is not a cultural norm for two unmarried desis to be meeting and holidaying together before being married?? Makes no sense to me. How are u supposed to get to know each other properly without spending time together alone? 

Seems pretty gloomy on this Topic. Looks like more 221gs recently in Islamabad than approvals...very scary. I think by the time it's my turn for an interview they'll be at an all time high... Pretty sad. 😔

Okay after I read these I'm freaking out. My ex didn't cancel her nicop it seems and I've already filed my cr-1 we are legally divorced in Pakistan have the divorce decree and also the nadra divorce certificate. The nicop is something that never even crossed my mind. She was non Pakistani. Her nicop expires in a week. Oh ! Now what? 

Can't see to find the CR1 i130 August 2018 filers can someone point me in the right direction? 

As far as I am aware. As I just went through this process in Karachi, Pakistan. The union council no longer issues any certificates for divorce. The only document which is available is the NADRA divorce cert. At the time of the divorce if you husband initiated it he should have sent her a notification of the divorce which is on the affidavit paper (rupee paper). In that it should be mentioned the reason for divorce and the lay out of how the Haq mehr was paid off. The original affidavit should be with your husband and only a copy is sent to the ex wife which she must sign and return. That means she has Recvd the document. 

I posted a similar question recently and someone told me the NADRA cert. Is all that is required. Seems confusing.

Why would being a pilot be a problem? I work for an airline and have done almost all my working life. Although I’ve never flown a plane I’ve been on many more planes than the average person and been in parts of the airport that are inaccessible to passengers (secure areas). I wasn’t asked anything about my job when I was interviewed. 

 

There are some jobs that result in extra scrutiny but I can’t imagine a pilot being one - it’s just a bus driver in the air. Unless you were a pilot in an army or militia group that fought against the United States? 

Na. Just was doing my Commercial licence training. Anyway thanks for the reply! I guess I was just over thinking it. 😊
