Timeline

I tried to get Zaheer to file refugee for asylum in USA, but withthat, you are unable to return to your home country because you left in fear of your life. At least that is what I understood. He didnt want to not be able to return. I can understand why Alen would be afraid. I was so worried about Zaheer all the time because he works for the government and his office is right across from the prison. there was an uprising at the prison once and several guards and police officials were killed. My father in law was taken hostage and the prisoners took his uniform so they could try to escape dressed as a gov't employee. Zaheer works for the sessions court and I always worry because the courts and police depts are always under attack in Pakistan.

Anyway. I pray you all hear good news soon. Congrats to malarie!!! I am so glad you got your visa! Insha'Allah, Rana Bhai will hear something soon. Starlight and HotGuy are almost there.. I can feel it. I know within a week I am gonna come on here and see more good news!

Zaheer booked his flight, he will be here in a week!! He flies from Lahore to Dubai to washington DC and then from DC to FL. He will arrive in West Palm Beach, FL at 5 in the afternoon on the 5th of May. I am so excited! I can't wait to see him and for him to see Stevie! well, keep praying for us, and I will certainly keep in touch with you all and praying for all of you to be out of this purgatory.

Just curious... since he has a K3 visa, does anyone know whether he goes through the Immigrant or Nonimmigrant line at the Airport Customs/Immigration? He is coming into Dulles (washington dc).

Take care

I would really think its an immigrant line. Since, a K-3 is only for marriage petitions. Just remind him not to open the envelope.

Thank you for the positive energy Tara, boy do I really need it.

I just hope now that the consualte does not take their sweet time to issue the visa. Luckily my soon to be father in law is getting much better now and recovering slowly from his stroke.

Thanks! You're absolutely right... The majority of those listed in the Tracker are approved. I'm not sure what the average wait time is, but it seems to be getting faster-- at least in my case it did.

It feels like they're clearing a backlog - I just looked back in this thread and see 4 this week :dance::thumbs::dance: :

Malarie - Algeria after 2+ months

You (Pman) - Nigeria after 2.5 months

Zaheer - Pakistan after 5 months

Star - India after 4 months **on its way**

...and HotGuy (whose is coming asap)

Those of us long-termers left are: Wellmux (almost 8 months), Alen & Bridget (4.5 months), Meredith & Brahim (4.5 months), Whatznext (too complicated to list!!), and the odd white woman out, Treehugger (2+ months)! I'm sure I missed someone, very sorry if I did!

I'm tempted to call DOS even though I just called them on Friday. I'll try to wait another day. *sigh*

That's a good question and, what if as a USC, you're with your spouse - I was picturing going in the Immigrant line at POE with him. What are they gonna do, tell me to go somewhere else? I'm so worried about POE (and we don't even have a date of course). But my husband doesn't speak English (French or Arabic, a little Spanish)...they would have people who speak other languages, right??

Hmm i guess at that point you might be able to take him to USC line .Talking about if they have people who speaks other languages i guess yes But I'm not for certain .
