Just got our NOA2 approval for K1 fiancé visa! Thank God! We were making a lot of dua (prayers) during Ramadan!

We were approved in a little under 4 months!

Was just wondering does the Islamabad embassy require a English version of the National ID Card (Shanakthy Card)?

Also my lawyer wants around $2,000 to submit the Packet 3.5 documents to NVC, is that worth it, or is it easy enough to submit everything ourselves?

Take care.

Congrats! :thumbs:

Thanks again for all the warm wishes. Hang in then for those who have not yet received their approval notice, good things happen to those who are patient.

I agree, we will do the consular processing paperwork (Packet 3.5 and 4) on our own without paying the attorney.

Eid Mubarak!
