I've heard different opinions from people. Some say you don't have to update the i864 because it doesn't expire and some say you have to fill it out again with new info. Do I have to update?

I never updated mine for my wife its up to you pretty much if you want otherwise it's not a requirement as far as I have witnessed and seen from few other people

received my interview letter finally. Alhumdullah. Dq may 19 22. Interview is on Feb 7. My question is I have not filed my tax and would not be able to by the time interview comes should I just upload 2023 W2 and bring to the interview? And update i864? 

Congratulations on receiving the interview letter and regarding 2023 tax it's not a problem as long as you have w-2 for it. I had the same issue when my wife interview was coming but the IO didn't even looked at the papers although I didn't updated any thing online too except the 3 previous years tax documents and I gave her 2022 tax return to take by hand but IO didn't look at the papers so you are good just let your wife know to take every thing incase he asks for them. All the best

When she enters the United States, the Customs and Border Patrol person should ask her for her permanent address in the United States.  If not, she should volunteer it.  (Type it out on a piece of paper so you can just hand it to them.)  They will update the online files with the address and that's where the card will be sent.

 

And don't forget to pay the $220 fee.  The card won't be sent until you do.

Thank you. 

Hello all,

I have tep questions.

1. My wife has recently issued a us immigration visa but her us visa has 2 * infront of annotation. What does that mean.

2. How to change the address for delivery of GC since her visa is approved and issued since my address has changes and she will he travelling in 2 weeks. I can't do it online since her petition is closed. 

Thanks 

Ok it might be a weird question but on my wife us visa there are 2 stars in front of annotation. Any one else had the same on their us visa

Did you divorce decree had any gold seals or just stamp? I didn’t get original because they said you only get certified copies in California.  It’s the two forms you get from county when everything is finished. 

No gold seals only stamps.

Thats normal and nothing to worry about. After a week or so it would change to Issued but till then the status would remain in AP (Administrative Processing). Congrats on the approval of your spouse's visa btw. 

Thank you it's a relief to know that this is normal and I am grateful to Allah Pak for making us through this painful almost 4 year long journey and  thank you  to every one on here for helping each other out and supporting and lifting up one another. Immigration journey is not easy and its long and test of your patience. All the best to every one whose waiting to be together with their significant others.

And also her case status on ceac shows in Administrative processing. Any one has any idea about that?

Hello every one,

Just wanted to share the good news with you all that my wife visa has been approved. Her interview was a bit hard one as stated by her since I was divorced so IO mostly focused his questions around my divorce. Like why did it happen, and if she knows my ex?

How did we meet?

How long before the marriage we knew each other?

And was it arranged marriage or love marriage?

Have you travelles together outside Paksitan with your husband? In our case ot was London so then he asked 

Who live there?

Then he asked about our daughter?

Is she a us citizen which she is so he wanted to see Her passport but my wife didn't took it with her so he asked to see her birth certificate.

Then he saw my financial documents and asked what does I do for a living?

How long i stayed in Pakistan?

When did I leave Pakistan?

What job I was doing before my current job since I switched careers.

Afterwards he gave her the congratulation paper and told her to make an account for passport pickup. And that's it. I hope it helps all of you who are waiting for their interview.

Thanks

yeah should be fine. plus itll help yoir case as well to. wish you best of luck tomorrow please let us know how it went

Definitely I'll let you guys know how it went. This thread helped alot of people like me. And I have read it here and on reddit. Mostly say to send an email to the embassy before taking any child since consulates usually don't allow it and since the interview is tomorrow no way I'll be able to get a reply in time.

Hello every one,

Does any one knows if islamabad embassy allows infant child to accompany mother to her interview?

Thanks

My wife received her visa and passport a week ago Alhamdulillah. There was a letter in the envelope with instructions to pay the immigration fee, we got that taken care of. But, it also says in the letter that she has to take her x-rays or CD with her to the US as it is required at US immigration. However, she wasn't given anything after her medical exam, so I'm thinking that everything was transferred electronically. Just wanted some insight on this. Does she have to do anything else, or is she okay with just her passport and visa?

You shouldn't be worried about things you didn't get. Probably every thing was sent electronically. She should be fine even if asked she can honestly tell them she didn't get any cd or xray.

Question everyone. With the current interviews appointment rate hopefully my husband will get his interview in February inshaallah. I wont be able to file tax by then for 2023 would that cause a problem. Should he just take W2 for 2023 to his interview. Or do you guys think they’ll ask for 2023 tax to be filed? 

Tax period us till April 2024 so if your husband interview comes before it you don't need to present the 2023 tax return 2022 will suffice but what you can do is give him the w-2 for 2023 as a supporting document because the officer just want to see if you made above the poverty line in 2023

Ok every one if any one need help with scheduling the medical appointment and need to know location in different cities. I am enclosing a file with all this detail and document check list for interview and passport receiving location registration etc
