He mentioned that because they requested new ones when the case was complete at NVC, he was only trying to make sure no one forgot anything. Anyways, I think he is going to get one now, send it to them and then get another one later. It only takes like a week or something for him to get it.

Marm : I am sorry to hear the news my deepest condolences to the family.

Thank you Omark.

The sad thing is that his pregnant wife spent only about 6 months with him. He waited 2 years for her immigration process to complete so that she could come here and it has only been 6 months since she joined hiim here, and is 5 months pregnant. May Allah give her sabr and health and bless the family with His mercy, Ameen.

Edited by MARM

Visa Journey completed, but we are still here to provide support! :)

Guys, we had our interview today too, AP, plz put us on the Spreadsheet. She said 1-2 months, I laughed at that. She kept his passport. Asked the general questions, didnt look at any evidence.

Riz, you had to be the ppl in front of us... you were with ur wife n two kids? They called my husband, we didnt hear it n u told him where to go?? Anyways, congrats on the visa.

Now, did anyone else find that shuttle service to be unacceptable? Taking all those foreigners through a tiny, unsecure village like that in a rickety old bus? Anyone could go in there and anything could happen. I want to email the embassy, but I dont want to bring any bad attention to my name, so forget it. Maybe after he gets the visa I will lolzzz.

Anyways, duaas for all n plz pray for us. Allah Hafiz

Yeah that shuttle service is somethin else huh? Hey, with all you American Spouses all being here in PAK at the same time, we should all get together to celebrate our interviews. I havent seen another American in a year. It would be great to see some people going through the same thing as me. We are in Sialkot, where are you guys at?

I was with K3, and they put me on AP. My AP was very short, I think about 2 or 3 weeks. I think, since I start seeing this fourm, ppl reading and getting worry. COs are very COOL. My interview was with a lady, and she was very nice. If you have sold ties to show, then just a metter of time.

Good luck to everyone :thumbs:

Omark - 100 days is a long time, but wait till its 120 days and start piling up request from Senators to let the embassy you know u are after them - That is how things get done at the Govt. Level all over the world.

Thanks IT. I appreciate it and I know it will calm Zaheer's nerves a little bit. We leave for Islamabad tonight. Its a long drive from Sialkot, and the Warden Notice I got in Email a few days ago says they have stepped up security checks in and around ISL, so, I know it will be a slower go than normal with roadblocks and such. We were thinking about going to Murree since they had the first snow the other day, but the baby has flipped himself over and is no breech giving me a lot of discomfort, so I think the sooner to return home, the better. ABENITEZ, we asked the embassy if he will need a newer PCC just in case this one will expire, and the man said "Did they ask you for it?" and Zaheer said no and he said "Then you don't need one unless they specifically ask for it." I wish you all the best of luck with your visas and I hope that you all get blessings from Allah soon. Keep praying and being thankful for even the strife you suffer, because, Insha'Allah, soon enough it will be in the past. Wish us luck at Interview tomorrow. Anyone else gonna be there? We packed up so much evidence. LoL. I dunno what they will ask for. We have our whole wedding album, our honeymoon pics, our regular everyday pics, our invitation cards from our wedding, a letter from the venue where the ceremony was held, cards we have given each other on holidays/birthdays and some my parents sent to him, stories we have written to entertain each other while I was back in USA for a month, doodles Zaheer drew with our names together, receipts from money he sent me in USA, my flight itinerary from when I returned to PK in January, affidavits of personal references to the wedding/relationship three ultrasounds with letters from Doc confirming pregnancy... etc. Plus I also made copies of every form we sent to them in I-130 pack, I-129f pack, Packet 3.5, Medical, etc... so, I hope this will be enough evidence. I hope we get to use it. This stuff is heavy to be carrying around. Please pray for us. I want to be able to get back to USA soon and set up for our baby. We dont even have clothes yet.... so, lots to do in 4 months. Take care all, Allah is with us. Allahu Akbar.

Hi all...My wife and I have been waiting for interview for 2 years 7 months. She has the interview date for Nov 3rd. I was thrilled and almost fainted with joy. I feel so relieved right now, althought she still has to pass the interview and hopefully get a visa. I told her to take my photo album and engagement/wedding vdo in case they want a proof of our marriage. I also told my wife to show them our intimate pictures at interview :devil: , but she seemed hesitant :unsure:. Any who, I know there are alot of fellow pakistani bros and sis stuck with AP. I sympathize with them and offer them nothing but good luck.

My wife is going for medical tomorrow, and I will report on it once she has it done.

Best wishes to all.
