    You must have gotten a copy when you received your passport with your visa in it. If you didn't contact the physician that did your medical to see if you can obtain the DS-2035. If you really can't get it you'll have to get a new medical done, I-693

    that was the packet with the instructions " Do not open" and i handed it over at the port of entry .. They didnt give me anything back.

    As said, you don't need a SSN to file for AOS.

     

    But you will need an SSN for many other things, is there a reason for why you haven't applied for a SSN already? Taxes are due in a few months too, you'll need a SSN to file with your spouse. Tax returns will be asked for later in the immigration process, so always a good thing to file the first year (and every year after of course) even if you haven't lived in the US that long.

    I have applied for SSN , they told, u'll hear from us within 4 to 6 weeks..so whether i should wait or apply for AOS?

  3. Is there any requirement of police certificate from Pakistan , while official site mentioning it.

                      

    Police Records

    Unavailable

    Comments: Pakistan has no nationwide tracking system for criminal activities. Police Character Certificates are available for a fee from District Coordinating Offices. However, they are not an accurate reflection of an individual's criminal record. An applicant who has committed a crime in one district may be able to obtain a clean Character Certificate from that district or another. Given the inaccuracy of these certificates, they are not required for consular processing.

    So the petitioner is a female American citizen- correct? And the one getting a visa is a male Pakistani living in the UAE? I'd say you might have problems if he was residing in Pakistan, but he's not... And both families have approved...

     

    You didn't say how you met or how many times you've seen each other in person. Assuming it wasn't just one meeting, I don't think you'll have any problems. Even if it were just once, I still think you'd be OK, but obviously it is more of a risk. 

     

    Good luck! 

    We have met so many times , even we have pictures of last 5 meetings in 3 years. we have been friends for the last 8 years.. I hope it would be enough.

    i'm not saying this is not right but the OP's case is not as straightforward as you state. OP is an expat in the UAE where he is interviewing (Abu Dhabi) and he is interviewing at the US Embassy, therefore in this case i do not think the religion matters as much as proving they have a bona fide relationship.

    exactly, im going to interview at  US embassy not to marry in UAE. Lets hope for better outcomes. I think we have enough to prove a bona fide relation, but who knows whats going to happen on that day. Thanks.

    hey OP - the difference in religion might be a red flag. you also might be asked how you met, circumstances of your meeting etc are you having an arranged marriage? when i interviewed at the Abu Dhabi embassy, another applicant was being grilled by the CO because he would not admit that theirs was an arranged marriage. not trying to scare you, just sharing what i observed then and perhaps help you prepare. in their case, both were from the same original country (cant remember if it was India or Pakistan) but the female was the one who is a naturalized USC and the male was the beneficiary.

     

    as for getting married in the US vs in Pakistan, they don't really care about that I think. i wasn't asked why we wanted to marry in the US, neither were all the other K1 interviewed there that I know. that is the purpose of the K1 to begin with anyway. all they care is that the relationship is bona fide and that your petitioner can support you in the US.

     

    also - just be aware that you may undergo extended AP due to being from Pakistan.

     

    finally, your next hurdle is packet 3. god knows, how frustrating waiting for that can be too!

    lets hope for something better. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'll prepare well on the points you mentioned.

    That does complicate things a bit. Religiously a muslim woman isn't allowed to marry a non muslim man. Now I understand why you can't marry in Pakistan. Even if the interview takes place outside of  Pakistan (like in the UAE), the CO will likely still know about this religious/cultural rule and questions could come up at the interview. It's possible that the CO won't ask about religion, especially if he has a muslim sounding name, but it is certainly something that could be asked about so there needs to be a logical response if he is asked about the religion difference. 

     

    So yes, I would say that in this case, the difference in religion is a red flag. 

    this is the reason we have opted to marry in us. because Pakistan doesn't allow us. Isnt it itself a logical answer why we want to legally marry in us?

    Sometimes different religions can be a red flag, but it may depend on many other factors such as the country of origin, as well as which religions are involved. My husband and I have different faiths but this was never brought up at his interview (in Morocco).

     

    What are the religions involved? If he is from the UAE or Pakistan, is he muslim? I only ask because muslims in particular are only allowed to marry either other muslims or devout christians or jews.  I'm not sure if that is relevant to your situation however. 

    he is non muslim, she is muslim. country for origin is pakistan for both. this is the equation now.

    Overall wouldn't see it as a red flag myself, or not much of one. Usually age gaps along with all that would cause "alarms" with the embassy; but being close age, and family being aware and all. I wouldn't stress much myself.

     

    i was also of the same thought, but watching the comments on the previous stream from Ghana case, i got stressed.. I hope everything  goes fine.

    Each country is a bit different. In some, this could be a red flag. Does his family know and approve of his relationship? You met them? In a lot of more "Traditional" countries so to say, family approval is key.

     

    Is he older/younger than you? Large age difference?

    yes families of both know about our relation but i have not met in person with the family. there is no such age difference , i mean less than a year.

    what i've been reading here and based to others previous experience they've waited for the packet3/embassy letter (it contains documents needed for the interview and instructions for medical), then once you have it that's the time you can schedule the interview..

     

    I am not really in the position to advice you now... cause I am currently waiting for it as well and trying to figure out how I can be in touch with the USEM ABD in regards to it... so far I have send them email already.. you can try this link to do so http://www.abudhabiivo.net/contactus.aspx 

     

    goodluck 

    thanks.. appreciated. Keep in touch :)
