Congratulations to Omid on her SO getting his visa in hand today. Time to dance :dance: and celebrate and of course say our dua's.

Also another big congratulations to Laney and Naseer. I know you are now ready to take and step away from all of this and enjoy live for some time. :thumbs:

Okay now time for Atif, Shonnie, Michigan, and Naveed to be reunited.

Lets go Islamabad and have some more good news this week.

Hey Fellow K-3'ers (and K-1's) from Pakistan!

Naseer and I had our AOS interview in Denver today. 15 minutes total, and a super nice guy. Just asked how we met, if we had kids, and our address. Did not look at anything we brought.

The Hubby is approved pending the FBI name check of course. But reading other threads, its because our interview date was so fast, the FBI needs time to complete the search. No big deal - this will be a much better wait than the VISA A/R. I finally get to put all this stuff away - for the next 2 years :hehe:

Good luck to those who are still pending VISA's - trust me, it will all be a blur once your SO hits US soil. :thumbs:

Congrats !!! it seems to me that July is lucky month for our thread ..(just kidding) :P anyway good luck to everyone still wating ...

Good luck to those who are still pending VISA's - trust me, it will all be a blur once your SO hits US soil

thats right, it will all be a dream. well i mailed that big payment 380(IV bill). I swear i was gonna call nvc and ask them do you have the fourth bill generated cause i though IV stood for 4, lol. But then i figured it out, its Immigration visa baby. Well that was a while back of course, 4 weeks ago.

Lets hope my k3 goes through sometime next month.

First off I want to say congrats to OMID, CONGRATSS!!!!, I have been following your situation and I think it is wonderful news that you and your loved one can now be reunited. I am wishing you both a happy life together.

I do have a question for anyone on this thread that may be able to help me. My fiane is Pakistani, but has not lived in Pakistan for many years. He is currently residing in South Korea, he has now been there for nearly a year. Before that he did stay a short time in Pakistan, about 6 -9 months with his father. Prior to that he resided in London, UK for 7 years. He left Pakistan at the age of 17. My question is do you think we will need a Pakistan Police report? If we do, how do we go about getting that?

Based on the table on this website http://travel.state.gov/visa/reciprocity/index.htm it states the applicant can get a copy of their police report from Pakistan at no charge by contacting their District Coordinating Office. I don't know what this means? It also states it would take 3 months to get it......

Has anyone else seen this site before, or gotten a police report from Pakistan based on what this site says? The Korean Consulate uses this site to find out if you need a Police Certificate from certain countries or not. Until just a few days ago, I thought Pakistan was one of the countries that police reports were unobtainable from, unless you resided there.

I am really stressing out about this, as our case was just forwarded to the NVC, we have everything else now, but this. If anyone could please shed some light on this for me I would really appreciate it very much.

Many Thanks

~Stacey
