Interview process question...

[MumtazG38 1]

I'm going to be staying in Pakistan with my husband throughout this entire process because, well....no better way to put it...I just haven't got much reason to stay here for the whole period really. But reasons aside...I will not be able to use DCF while in Pakistan because I've found out that it is basically impossible to get a legal or permanent residency in Pakistan. The only way is if your parents are nationals, and even then it still takes round about two years of living there, so thats not very helpful at all. So I will be getting my mail forwarded and using my parents address (where I currently live....and is my residence, no question about it) to file with.

Basically my question is....will my living with my husband and not filing through DCF cause any problems, now or later? What kinds of problems/questions will the nvc, consulate, or interviewer have that I may have to be ready to answer?

You should check with the US embassy there and see what they need to show residence!

I've already had my husband personally go to the embassy there and discuss the matter and they say they are the ones who eventually told us the only way to become a permanent resident is to go through a two year process, only if your parents are both nationals. Not to mention I called many many times and am fed up completely with the ignorance they show, I'm assuming, every customer.

I suggest you take a clear picture of all the aspects before taking any decision, Doesn't matter how much effort it takes.

Good Luck with whatever you choose to do

Of course. She's a US Citizen. If she wants to travel, she's free to do so.

I dont see any real problems, you are an american citizen you are free to travel where ever and when ever you like. I can really see them asking about this but if they did just say you did not want to to spend 2 years there establishing residency.

Certainly there is nothing wrong with living with your husband throughout the process...

I filed for my husband while living with him from Pakistan, only difference is since I could not file DCF i simply mailed out the package from here to US and used my parents address as my permanent address there. So all the mail goes to my home address in Chicago, even though I put my present address as Pakistan and permanent as USA the USCIS people still believe I am in USA everytime i call, so these things don't really matter until you are at the interview and asked where your spouse is or was...

Well thats really good to know....quite a relief actually. But what will you do or say when the interview part comes along? I mean, they will be curious for sure and will ask why and all sorts of things..........which they will do in my case for sure.....what could we say that wouldn't sound strange enough to make them deny the visa or something?

:wacko:
