It will be at least 12 months before you hear anything more, then another 3-6 months after that at NVC and Consulate before you actually get a visa... and that is if there are no problems with your application

okay let me know if expedite will help in fasting the process ?

my wife is not working over there in USA so it will make any problem in visa or process ?

You can't just expedite because you are frustrated by the wait.  There are specific criteria for expediting.

 

No one's marriage/relationship is more special than anyone else's.  Everyone has to wait their turn.

it could be difficult if she is not working but what about affidavit of support ?

 

Since you're a year or more out from having the visa, she should have time to secure a job or a joint sponsor.

hi Nebraska takes for ever you have to wait one year then the nvc stage, I send my case to Nebraska it takes forever you have a long wait.

Could you visit each other soon?  Being together helps during the long wait AND time together is one of the best ways to show you're in a bonafide marriage.

 

If she's not working, maybe she could come to you for a few months? How much time have you already spent together?

Lack of employment on the beneficiary side is not a reason to deny a family visa.

That’s a very long time to not see each other, maybe plan a visit..? Physical time together is a very important factor in determining your case legitimacy..

This process takes a very long time.   Normally at least 8 months before you hear back from USCIS for a NOA.  Then NVC.   She needs to have a good job or a sponsor by then.   Once you get to the interview you can expect a period of Administrative Processing for enhanced background checks.    I hope you knew this before you started the process. . .

 

You will need more face to face time.   Plan on meeting in Pakistan or other countries that you can get a visa on arrival.

 

Also see what you can do to add more bonafides for you interview.  You might also be asked for them when someone at USCIS looks at the file.

She will need a joint sponsor to get you there since there is an income/tax requirement at the NVS stage. 

 

Filing for a I-129f - K3 *may* make getting the I-130 approved slightly faster. 

 

Having a lawyer isn’t really going to expedite the process as far as I know. 

I believe the K3 helped me, but I'm not for sure.
