Its just a minor problem. You are approved already since they kept your passport so congratulations on that :dance: I am sure they can issue him a certified one. As soon as you send that in with the 212G paper you got, they will mail you the passport in 5-7 business days. So no need to worry :star:

VISA APPROVED!!! :)

sorry for the late reply - i flew into pakistan to be here for the interview, and we got back to karachi from islamabad pretty late last night. interview went really well, only lasted about 3-5 mins (after waiting 4 hours). only questions were:

- How did you guys meet?

- What does your husband do in the US?

- Where do you plan to live?

- Do you have any other family in the US?

- Do you plan to work in the US?

After that my wife called me back to the booth and the interviewer asked when we planned to return to Seattle. i said as soon as we have the visa - to which he replied you'll have it in 7-10 days! :)

Paperwork seemed to be the biggest thing in Islamabad. prior to the actual interview, the did some sort of 'pre' registration at different windows during which they basically checked all the paperwork. marriage certificate, affadavit of support, medical, etc... We heard quite a few folks getting rejected for some form of incomplete paperwork, including photograph size, and whether or not the photo had been touched-up.

Thanks to everyone here for all their help. the whole process went really smooth for us, and there's no way it would have without VJ and everyone here. best of luck to everyone else, and congrats to those who also have happy news! :)

many congratulations. :dance::dance:

My husband had his interview and we didn't get the Visa. Our co-sponsor didn't make enough in 2009. My husband passed the interview and was told to send in a new AOS along with his passport. The problem is we don't have another co-sponsor. I am so upset and I prayed so hard about this. These are the questions they asked him.

1. How did you meet?

2. What do you have in common?

3. How many times has she been married?

4. How many children does she have?

5. Are the children living with her?

She looked at some emails and our wedding pics.

I want to thank everyone on VJ that has been such a help to us.

Congrats to you and your husband. Don't worry our prayers are with you and soon you will find another co-sponsor. :thumbs::dance:

Hi everyone.Well i just got back from my interview, it was an ok and easy one.However, the CO kept my passport and gave me a 212(g) sheet explaing they need the original divorce documents of my husband( he had been married be4).Talking to him right now, he called the courthouse already and they said they would look for it.Now my questions: do you think they will find his original papers, the divorce took place many years go and second..is there anything else i should worry about?Thats the only thing they wrote on the paper, the only thing they need.Thank you all very much xoxoxo.n

Was your husband divorced in the United States? If he was divorced in the United States then he can go to the local court house where the divorce took place at and they will issue him one with the court seal on it and all. It doesn't matter how many years back it was, they are able to pull it up. Good luck!
