k1 affidavit of support:

hi all,

i was hoping maybe someone had some information about this. i realized that after i had the form for affidavit of support (i 134) notarized, i put the wrong age. the consulate in lahore advised me to add an attachment with the correction. i did, but then realized it was STILL WRONG because i forgot to take in account that i had the form notarized 2 days before my fiance's birthday. it's been over 2 weeks since we have turned in the 3.5 packet, and no word. i hear that the consular may ask my fiance and may even call me about this. any advise? anyone have a similar problem?

anyone have their k1 visa approved in the last month besides monty?

Hello guys!

I sent my package to USEM islamabad 7 october and they mentioned in thier letter that they will review it in 2 to 3 weeks.

So 3 weeks are over now no call from AMEX.

What should i do now?

Call embassy or call Amex?

i'm in the same boat. my fiance has gone to the amex office in lahore twice now. he's so impatient. one of the last vjayers to get a k1 visa said it took a little over 3 weeks to get the interview notice. good luck. you can try emailing the embassy. when i had before with other issues, they were helpful, but i've heard they kind of have a unhelpful attitude in general.

i recently received our noa2 and have been looking through the forms for the consulate. can anyone tell me what currently islamabad is sending in their packet to the fiance and the list of fees that we will have to pay to the embassy?

and i see a chest xray is not required?

thanks so much for your help. we're trying to get everything together before i leave for pakistan in october. inshallah his interview will be when i'm there.

i wish all of your a speedy process so you can be reunited with your loved ones.

hey all,

just got noa2! yay!!!!!!! so excited! will be in pakistan in october and hope we luck out with timing of interview.

hi all,

i know all of your are very knowledegable people and wondering if you can help me out. i have read that jfk (new york) will issue an ead ( temp work permit), does anyone know if los angeles does? or any other airports that do?

i'm getting excited! a friend of mine's i130 was approved in the us last friday and he filed a month before me. my turn is coming!

Did anybody that has traveled to pakistan get any vacinations before going? If so, what were they? I am going to swat in October and my fiance said there is not any mosquitoes around that time so dont worry about malaria. I just want to double check.

just some information if you don't want to take malaria pills----- take vitamin b complex. start taking this 2 weeks before you go and through your time until a week or so after. misquitos do not like the smell of your skin when you are taking this. i did this when i went to malaysia and never saw a misquito the whole time i was there.

Hi all-

I have a few questions. I work in an office that is all Muslim but me. What is the best way to handle Ramadan? I mean, i still plan on eating or i'll be a b**** on wheels. Of course i am not going to eat around them, but is this considered rude if i still eat, just not around them?

Also, my fiance is muslim and i want to support him during Ramadan. We're just starting our visa process, but eventually we'll be together. anyone out there that has a muslim spouse but don't parcipate in ramadan themselves? i was just trying to figure out the best way to go about it. again, i don't want poor faisal to get the brunt of my "i gotta eat and your in my way" fasting self.

Hi All,

Thanks again mary for the information. I greatly appreciate it as I am sure most of us are overwhelmed with this process and the possiblity of being denied.

What are the looking for when they ask me about my religion? I am not Muslim, but I know that the Qu'ran states that a Muslim can marry a Christian.

I have a few more questions that maybe someone has some answers to. I heard that you can file for a K1 and while it is being processed, get married and change to a k3. How does this affect the amount of time it takes to get an interview? Does changing in the middle affect the process? I am looking for the quickest but the smartest way to be with Faisal.

Also, I read that someone was asked in the interview if members from both families were present. Does this affect your iligebility? My father is disabled and it is very hard for him to travel. I may not have anyone from my family be present at a wedding in Pakistan.

To all of you out there, I wish you the best of luck and hope you will soon be reunited with your loved ones.

Please, anyone with some advice or experience on my issue please help!

Faisal and I were introduced by a friend over the Internet. We spent several months talking before we decided to meet in person. I have heard stories of individuals meeting on the internet and trying to file k1/k3 and being denied. I am in the process of filling out the paperwork for us, but I am not sure how to word the section about how we met. Should I say a friend introduced us? Should I mention the internet? Should i not? I heard of a case where a couple met on the internet and they were denied a k3. It took them 3 years to figure it out.

I know that we have our work cut out for us. Being that I am a white American, I know the government will not see the natural connection between Faisal and I.

Please, anyone with suggestions!
