ABYONE IN PAKISTAN WAITING FOR WAIVERS I-601 & I-212?

[babybunny 2]

I have seen that people in this forum are mostly inquiring about path forward etc. Why does the folk in this thread (Desis from Pak. Myself included) start fingerpointing. Someone pointed out in this thread that the only ones getting visa are Dr`s. That is true. The consular lady at my wifes K3 pointed out that she was the third Dr girl out of the four K3`s. Yes the waits are very very long and no answers from everyone. But please stop using words like lie or so. The fact remains that overstays, deportations etc are strongly discouraged. Most people avoid doing that. It is very important to remain instatus. Several people including student visa holdersleft the country for fear of overstay. Those who remained took the risk. Do you really think that those who did not follow the procedures should be treated the same way as those who did follow the procedures and uproated their lives for fear of coming under overstay. Rather than point fingers, we should strongly advise people to follow the procedures so they dont get into issues later on. I do have cousins whose husbands are in Pak. I cannot quite understand why the girls would prefer to stay here away from their husbands. Its best to leave for Pak and start the family life there. When your visa process finishes come to US.

Perhaps some ladies cant survive pakistan. I know cant survive living in Pk . it would not be a life for me.

I have told this to USICS.

I have great sympathy for all those who are away from their spouse for months and years. I have been in the same boat. Yet at the same time, it was our choice to marry overseas. I dont know why most of you think that USCIS doesnt know about your culture or country of origin. At our interview, she asked for nikkah and rukhsati. Plus she also said shukria at the end of the interview. They talk more to immigrants they do to natives. So the point being, they know you had an arranged marriage and so can live without your husband for a while. Like it or not its true. Plus husbands should not have overstayed in USA to begin with.

Well this forum is read by people from all over the world. My point was that you all should stop using words like lying and blame. Maybe if you all started doing that, people would have more consideration for Pakis.

Besides, paki girls should stay with their husbands in PAKI

more DOO DOOs you speak! testing that tough love dubage!

Who told you that Me,Ayesha and anyone else sponsering a husband is Paki? if we are sponsering HUSBANDS that makes us AMERICAN. I am NOT Desi at all. not a drop of pakistani blood in my body.

we are entitled to point the blame - just like you are doing. I am not even fighting for a waiver

your tard remarks are making me disturbed. I would hate to see those battling a waiver see your belittling

dubage.

BTW, we american ladies are the SPONSERs which means we ARE the bread winners in this

Union. means hubby cant get here if we dont have solid careers and a roof over our heads.

we do have the same responsiblities as the american men.

It does not follow that the Sponsor is the main bread winner, whilst it may not be exactly 50/50, probably not that far off.

You do not need a solid career to sponsor a spouse.

You do not need any sort of career.

You do not need a job.

my response was to a man< pakistani > that belives that american woman should not have jobs or

careers. I know how some pakistani men are. this reflects that in his macho responses..

Sheraz,

My husband is Pakistani, I am American, I married my husband because I love him, not because he is from Pakistan, ok he overstayed, so what, who are you to point the finger, the overstay police? The US has a waiver for people who overstay, and there is a fee to go along with each application, we have been waiting a very long time for the waiver to process and the Embassy told us the waivers were sitting for a year because they had no one to process them, and now they are sent to Rome to process they told us in March it would take 3 to 6 months to process, and now it is August one month away from the day we were told the applications would be answered and still no answer. So we are being lied to, what the hell do you know if you have not been through this situation? My husband had 3 businesses in America, he worked very hard and paid taxes, he was not a criminal nor a beggar, he had his reasons for overstaying, instead of saying negative things about peoples misfortunes in life, say something positive, cause you sound like a real #######.

Perhaps it is a translation issue. But being lied to? I doubt very much. Try and find a guaranteed processing time in any part of the immigration process, you will not.

Plus of course remember that you have no right to rely on what the US government tells you; the Supreme Court has said so [schweiker v Hansen].

Ayesha,

I am from Pakistan even though a USC but still Pakistani. My wife had to wait several months before she got her visa. Our I130 approval was late by over 5 months. Someone from VJ told me in a private message that they got an I130 approval 5 months after the processing time frame and the letter stated background checks. It was very frustrating then for me as well. I checked my email everyday. I know where you all are. My cousins are are GC and their husbands have yet to even recieve an interview after 5 yrs of marriage. So I am completely familiar with your situation. The 1800 number is the dumbest customer service ever. Even if you get to the operator, you will have trouble explaining your case and besides they dont do anything. So I know I have been there and done that. My point was simply that often time we get carried away in blaming. The reason for all those delays are because of the politics of pakistan. You know it and we all know it. While we all know in private the reasons for the delay of ISL cases, lets not say that that in public. This forum is read by everyone and lets create a positive image. And Shoney in response to your answer, you maybe be american but I know a lot of Paki girls who just stay in US with their family and go through this painfull process alone. If my wife was not able to come soon, I would have gone to Paki to live there. This process is just too painful to go by alone.

[babybunny 2]

its painful to go through this process apart. but, what hell would he come home to if I did not have a roof over his head? I have no family here. That means I have to work and provide...etc...
