My wife lives in Pakistan and her visa interview was scheduled for December 13, 2006. They told her to bring wedding album, video, gifts, phone bills as evidence for our marriage. I just have on dilemma, Im curently going school fulltime and Ill have winter break towards the end of December. I plan on going to Pakistan and bring my wife back in the end of Dec, early January. But I have buy my airfare tickets in advance, but if my wife doesnt pass her interview, then Ill have to cancel my airface which will cost around $6,000 (my parents are travelling with me too). What are the chances of my wife not passing her interview. I mean our marriage is real, Im also a Navy Veteran, Im a full time student and I make about $24,000 annual but I joint sponsor (my parents) who make $60,000. Can anyone help me, thanks.

I really hope that your wife gets the visa right away. But it is not guaranteed. Consular Officer may ask for any silly thing before the visa issuance. I recommend that you make your travel arrangements after she has the visa.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview

I dont know, I just got some doubt in my head that the CO will just deny it for some reason. You know this visa means alot to me and if my wife gets this visa, Ill feel like Im in heaven man. We have enough evidence to show our marriage but I hope they dont deny the visa because of my financials. I make around $24,000 annually and I was in the military for the first 6 months of 2005. My dad was my joint sponsor and he filed his 2005 tax returns joint with my mother, and together they made around $62,000. You know on the I-864, they ask about the total household and I live with my parents and sister. So the total household is 5 including my wife. With the income of mine and my parents, we meet the income poverty line.

But I just have one question, on my father's return he has my mother and my sister as dependents which equal 3 people himself. I dont want the CO to look at this the wrong way because then he or she might think that including the 5 household people (I wrote on the I-864 includes my parents, and sis) and my dad also has 3 seperate dependents, making total of 7 to 8 dependents. I hope I didnt confuse anyone here.

Just as an option, why don't you travel alone to go get your wife? If not anything, that will at least lower the financial burden and less money lost in case your wife does not get through the interview this go-around.

From what you have written, my gut feeling says that she should do fine -- be positive (easier said than done, I know).

Good luck.

Fasel bhai,

Dont overanalyze the "what if" scenario too much. I know its hard not to do this specially when it comes to immigration related issues but I dont think the you need to be too worried about the I-864 and your father's tax returns. Make sure you explain the situation clearly just so there is no confusion. Plus with $62k being shown in the returns, it should be sufficient for the safe financial backing for your case.

Dont worry, enjoy and good luck on your wife's interview!
