Here is the update. Ishteaq called the embassy for an update on Friday and was informed the case was in DC. I will contact DOS for confirmation tomorrow or wednesday at the latest. When I called friday it was not showing any updates and I know if it was just cabled it takes a few days to go thru the que. Hope to share confirmation news with all later. Sure am praying that we are at DOS now.

Wow Mary.. that took them so long - but Its good its moving. I hope DOS kicks it into High Gear for you - say hi to the ladies for me

I have not posted in awhile - I guess I was hoping that a non-watched pot would boil and I would see more sisters and Hubbys with Visa's in hand today - but I'm sure it will be soon - you and Shon and sheila and Omid, Al and anyone else who is waiting.

Naseer is good - but bored - I dont think he is used to sitting around the house. With no license & no EAD his days run long. He's already cleaned the garage (I dont think I have ever been that bored).

Good luck everyone - I hope to see good news this week!

Me and Nas at Benihanas in Orlando

Thanks for thinking of us Laney - glad to hear you and Naseer are doing well - other than being bored of course.

Is DCF an option through ISL? if so, does anyone know the requirements?

I don't think it is because I looked into it a while back...maybe a year ago...I went to their website and it said that it isn't

[babybunny 2]

YES .... DCF is an option in PK.

but, you have to meet some requirements. those are..

1.. living in Pakistan 6 months or longer.

2.. married.

because, the security checks are so crazy. it makes DCF not a true option. DCF is really designed to get your spouse over here Faster than k-3. when I filed for my ex husband he was in the USA in 1 week.

if you get the DCF your spouse would come on CR1.

DCF is an ideal option for a husband that is USC and wanting to bring over his wife, and the USC husband lived in PK over 6 months consistantly.

Inshallah all is moving along with your cases..Duas for you all. They(islamabad) gave him his file from seoul. they did the lexis name check on both of us.. no hits. they did a donkey check (seoul) it returned from Dos(2 months later) with statement says that there is no reason why this applicant should not be considered for a visa to usa.

its so good to be togehter, some tough time for him in goras world.(even though hes lived many years outside pk). Likes the people of Iowa, iowa city des moines my home town (quaker ville). the young adult kids around here driving him nuts. had a few show downs esp when they get mouthy with mom.. Microwave popcorn a real hit. as well as my spiced up desi'ized home cooking hehehehe
