k-3 issuance process

[fareash 0]

hi to everyone

my husband's interview is on aug 28, 2007 at islamabad, pakistan.

the problem is that he works and lives in Abu Dhabi, UAE for over 5 - 6 yrs and working for the defense. I asked for a file transfer from Abu Dhabi US embassy they said "NO BECAUSE HE IS FRM PAKISTAN AND ITS A K- 3 VISA + YOUR MARRIAGE TOOK PLACE IN PAKISTAN" So now he has to make extra arrangments from his work to take time off and go to pakistan get the medical done and police certificate from both locations.

Now my questions is: Does anyone know if the US embassy in Islamabad keeps the passport for visa issuance or do they mail the visa or I know they can stamp but will not because its a man appplying for visa so they have to time for secuirty clearance. The reason why I'am asking this question is because my husband will return to abu dhbai on sep 5 2007 and of course for re entry he needs his passport with residence visa.

one more question: does anyone have any Idea where hotels near the emabssy are n cost etc never been to Islamabad so pls help

Its so stupid because we live 5 mins away from the US embassy in Abu Dhabi, UAE. but we have to go to Islamabad embassy

ok

thanks

You need to ask the question in the islamabad thread.

From what I have read in the previous posts there, it seems to be both ways. In your case it will be a valid reason to return your husbands passport as he will need it to travel back to his place of employment. The K-3 has to be issued in the country of marriage I beleive that is mandated in the K-3 law. Make sure your husband explains his situation at the embassy clearly. More than likely he will have to return back to islamabad once they are ready to issue the visa.
