No postal service in Afghanistan

[KJO 0]

Hi Friends,

I am new to the forum and have read through many posts here. I really appreciate the community spirit on the forum and willingness to help.

I am an American woman engaged to an Afghan man. We met while I was in Afghanistan. We both worked on the same USAID project. I had to return to the US because my assignment was over.

We applied for a I-129F visa and just got notification that the NOV2 (petition) was approved. I am trying to anticipate the next steps so I was wondering if anyone had any experience. Btw, the embassy in Kabul only processes diplomatic visas so every other type of visa must be processed in Islamabad which is why I am on this forum.

I understand that my fiance will get a packet in the mail but Afghanistan does not have a functioning postal service and there is no DHL to Jalalabad where he lives. He could however designate a place in Kabul to have it sent for him to pick it up. I had my lawyer send a message to NVC about it. But I thought I would tap into some of the wisdom here in this form.

So here is my question: Does anyone know if they can send the packet out by e-mail or if they would email him notification of next steps? It seems that almost all communication is done through the post.

Thanks,

KJO

Welcome to VJ and a member by the name of Omid just brought over her fiance from Afghanistan. He did have to interview in Islamabad too. I am sure if she comes to the forum she will gladly help you. You may also want to come and post your question in the Islamabad forums.
