Patou & Kashou

I've been sitting around, jealous of @Carlos.Brazil and their I-485, and shockingly discovered that we were scheduled for interview today. Now I'm going to be furiously pressing refresh on myuscis until the document appears with the interview date. I can't believe we didn't get an RFE.

Received a new Social Security card  in the mail yesterday (Didn't apply for a new one or anything), but no Green card yet. Just wanted to update regarding the SSN because I know in the past people were recommending to go into the SSN office to get a new card after they receive their green cards, but looks like it they do it automatically now!

Hi and thanks for sharing much details. usually marriage and fiancé based immigration cases goes through very strict scrutiny throughout the world; so same applies in your situation that you might be aware. consular officer usually never ask casual questions because they thoroughly review each immigration case before scheduled interview to identify any potential red flags, or grey areas. to best of my knowledge as i'm not a expert, visa officer thoroughly review and ensure from every aspect that your case does not fall under potential human trafficking, or marriage based fraud, plus they might figure out that how much time you both spent together after engagement/marriage including your joint activities (i.e. time as living together, travelling together, financial benefits / records / payments, family reunions, messages/communication records, and joint celebrations etc.). assuming you both have all necessary records as I mentioned earlier, so  you need to wait till 180th day, but meanwhile do follow-up every 30th day with US consulate through website, stay humble and polite, consider US consulate Islamabad may dealing with increased interviews traffic and case processing of different neighboring countries along with Pakistan in COVID pandemic with limited staff. Meanwhile your senator could be beneficial in follow-up scenario. if you can afford then, consider to discuss your situation with consultant at argovisa.com, they might able to shed some light as what potentially your case is going through. you can subscribe to their youtube channel as well in case a video might help you as well, but consider I have no direct or indirect affiliation with anyone nor i'm subject matter expert. expert discussions always helpful to determine your unique scenarios and situations, so once you feel more than 180 days are passed without much progress then you can take advice from experts. meanwhile, don't stress out and be optimistic and enjoy your relationship together. good luck.

Happy new year everyone 
 
we finally got our visaaaaa after about over a month of being in administrative processing after the interview. 
 
few tips : it’s definitely not fun waiting because all you can do is see dates when they update or touch your case. 
 
also make sure all your documents are translated and bring original copies of everything. 
 
good luck and I hope everyone in this group has gotten their visa 

Hello,
 
We finally got our approval from USCIS and were looking for clear answers about the next steps leading up to the interview.  I’ve found great instructions here. 
 
Thank you all for sharing. You don’t know what a great help you are. 

A little humor as we wait…

😅

Oh no 🥺
I am so sorry, now it will be just more waiting.
 
I don't know of any example, the one thing I know about is get any thing they asked for on 221g and get it to them ASAP
 
I am also wondering if the medical was the only factor that caused the 221g or if the counselor mentioned anything else.
 
In hindsight yeah it would've been better to have the medical report in hand because that's the safest thing and the idiotic thing is that they don't even open the medical report at the consulate it's mainly for POE if I am not mistaken. 
 
Just don't get down, take a day regroup and realign and get them all and everything they need.
 
 
 
 

Congratulations !!! Wonderful!! 

Interview done
Got approved
 
Barely a 3 min interview, the officer said congratularions you are going to US of A.
 
Now the wait for passport begins😀
 
 
 
 

Yes you take that for medical and for the interview. You show that at the embassy's entrance and at the shuttle place. You need 3 documents at the medical and those same documents are needed at the embassy along with your ID and passport 

My cousin who is my brother's fiance contacted them via whatsapp and got it done within a day. It is also likely they may not have an availability. Which is why it is best to do the interview date after confirming with medical. For lahore at least 

Hello
 
So this is an update and interview review for k1 visa people if anyone needs it.
Category: k1
Embassy: Islamabad pakistan
 
My cousin, who is also my brother's fiance, had her interview today and this is what she told me. There was a long wait time. They didn't ask for any documents from her and just the questions. My brother's salary is enough so I guess they didnt take anything from her except her birth certificate and that too copy.
 
Anyways following questions were asked from her:
Where does he work?
Where does he live?
Are you married before?
Is he married before?
Have you visited outside pakistan?
How is he related to you?
Who is calling you?
What is your fiance salary?
Do you have any pictures?
How many siblings are you and your fiance?
Then he asked her if she knows the rules when she gets to usa and she said no so they said it is okay and gave her a paper to read them over and then told her that she got the visa. In the end she asked them 2 questions: when will she have to travel and when will her 90 days start and this is what the CO told her: minimum visa is for 90 days and max is 6 months and she will know when she gets the visa in hand and for the second one they said her 90 days start the day she gets the visa (issue date). That was it. She got her visa and now she will be getting the passport back in 2 weeks time I guess. Thanks to everyone for help.

Just an update: my case was approved a few moments ago!!! 🥳🥳🥳NOA1 February 24, NOA2 November 10. Keep waiting guys, they are making some progress!!!! This group has helped  keep me going! Thank you so much for listening to all my complaining! 

Lahore asks to schedule interview first too but what I am saying is that find out when the medical dates are available and then set up interview. or do 2 weeks time, that is what my cousin did for hers. anyways whatsapp is best to reach lahore place. I hope something happened by now for you patou.

Whatsapp was built for Pakistan 🇵🇰  fear not 😁

hello everyone, my file was ready today and two hours later I got an e-mail from the embassy, an appointment e-mail, then I filled out the ds160 form and made an appointment for December 20.

It's a catch 22 because at least in Islamabad they won't give you an appointment till you have your interview date scheduled and printed copy of your interview confirmation 🤪

Yes they ask for 3 main documents
K1-FTP
Appointment letter
and ds-160 confirmation page. You need all three in order for them to confirm your medical appointment. If you have vaccine card, then take that as well.
 
 

Try the aziz medical center in Islamabad if lahore is giving you a hard time

Thank you so much Mitzab. I got the above information checked from embassy too now scheduling my interview via attorney. Thanks for your time and help.

It is one week but they send that directly to the embassy. You will not receive it until you get the whole passport package in mail and even then it will be sealed and it will stay sealed until your entrance point in USA.

I will answer for Lahore, if you are Lahore based, it usually takes 10 days for the passport and the remaining package to come to the pickup location and you can pick it up once you get an email it reached or a call. depends. so it doesn't take that long but I will assume that embassy is in Islamabad so maybe it will get there faster.
 
 

yes my fiance is not working right now

so she just sent me her taxi return for 2020

my fiancee is not working and was married in 2019
