'B' Form Needed for Pakistani Applicants?

[wheresthevisa87 0]

Do Pakistani spouse visa applicants need to submit the B Form when civil documents are requested if they are above 18 years of age or does a copy of the National Identity Card suffice? If the B Form is needed where do you get it translated from Urdu to English from and would photocopies certified from NADRA suffice or does the original document need to be submitted?

who is requesting the documents and for what purpose?

1. Do Pakistani spouse visa applicants need to submit the B Form when civil documents are requested if they are above 18 years of age

I Hope your spouse is over the age of 18... most countries its illegal to marry someone under the age of 18 without parental consent

2. You can translate the form yourself there is a letter/form that you need to attach with the translation saying you are fluent in both languages and attest the translation is correct.

3. Best thing to do is get whatever documentation from NADRA, that is the primary resource the embassy uses for referances and background check.

Could you please tell us what you are appliying for? CR1? or some other sort of visa?

Saw it on the USCIS website in the 'Reciprocity by Country' section where they have a link to form that gives a chart of all the documents Pakistani citizens need to submit. The 'B' form is mentioned there.

I'm the spouse being petitioned and am definitely over 18 and 21.

Do I need to submit this if I'm applying for a spouse visa and AM more than 18 years of age?

Does that mean I need to get my NIC photocopy certified as well? Also is it recommended to submit original or certified photocopies of the birth certificate and nikahnama. I seem to be reading different things on different threads.

Applying for the IR1/CR1 (the visa that follows the I-130 approval).

Hi B-Form is only needed for candidates below the age of 18.

If someone has id card then there is no need for a form-B

Hope that helps :-)

And for people below the age of 18 you can get the new b-form which comes in both english and urdu from Nadra Office. If you choose to use their fast service then you should have it done with few days.
