~~Non K1 process related thread moved to the Regional forum, from K1 Progress Reports - as the thread is about multiple visa types and members from Pakistan only.~~

Wsalaam,

 

Copies of passport for petitioner and beneficiary and entry stamps ( we got engaged in Dubai where he was stationed to work and me and my family flew over with his fam and had a small ceremony), recent tax papers (for sponsorship a petitioner needs to be earning at least 16K, if pay is below 16K then you need a co-sponsor) with attached payments (if any ) made to the IRS, up to 3 paystubs, passport size photographs of beneficiary, birth certificate of the beneficiary, naturalization certificate ( I wasn't born in US), employment letter of the petitioner, and any bank statements that validate that the beneficiary will only be relying on the petitioner.

Aoa Sana,

My timeline is similar to yours and i was wondering if you know after we fill out ds-160 can we go ahead and schedule the interview or do we have to wait until my fiance in Pakistan receives the packet 3? If you don't mind me asking how did you receive packet 3 by mail or email? Thank you

The naturalization certificate has to be original? Or a scanned and printed copy will suffice? And is the passport override the naturalization certificate?

A copy is fine, and no the passport does not override the certificate. You need both in order to give support.

I am in CA and have filled for I129F for my fiancee in Karachi. PD is 4/30/18.

DOS website states that immunization is not required but K1 visa. Has anyone done medical recently and would share if the embassy/medical examiner are requiring the recommended vaccination?

My Fiancé opt out of the vaccination, technically if your applying for a K1 visa you have a choice of either getting vaccinated in Pakistan or you get vaccinated at POE.

Thank you @SanaW

I am assuming POE means that my fiancee can get the vaccination from any doctor in the arriving City in US.
