All praises for Almighty Allah for His great great blessings.

After more than 14 months AP/AR, i got my visa today via Speedex.

I must mention that VJ has helped a lop otherwise there would have been big surprises for me after each passing day.

Few Questions:

1) On my visa, it is written "upon endorsement serves as temporary i 551 evidence permamnent residence for 1 year". What does its mean?

2) What about my education certificates? do i have to get it verfiied by some govt organization so that it become valid there in USA?

3) What if i change my address in USA? which form is to be used by me? What are the quick guidence from you people on this topic?

Thanks

Congratulation Dude!!! Now Enjoy!!!

Thank you for congratulating me and replying my questions.

Now i would like that some minute questions must be asked to make the things clear to myself

1) Can my POE be only Houston? Can it be NY? or any other?

2) is it necessary that i reach USA by PIA only? Can i take some other carrier?

No you can't. you must not. first visit to USA must be experienced through PIA. or else they won't let you land at USA.

Thanks

Is it required to use PIA for entering USA with K3 for the first time? or can one use Emirates or any other airline?

I command you to fly nothing but PIA. After all you must keep the nation pride. Soon it'll be a new Law for new immigrants to fly on PIA.

Hi All,

Thanks again mary for the information. I greatly appreciate it as I am sure most of us are overwhelmed with this process and the possiblity of being denied.

What are the looking for when they ask me about my religion? I am not Muslim, but I know that the Qu'ran states that a Muslim can marry a Christian.

I have a few more questions that maybe someone has some answers to. I heard that you can file for a K1 and while it is being processed, get married and change to a k3. How does this affect the amount of time it takes to get an interview? Does changing in the middle affect the process? I am looking for the quickest but the smartest way to be with Faisal.

Also, I read that someone was asked in the interview if members from both families were present. Does this affect your iligebility? My father is disabled and it is very hard for him to travel. I may not have anyone from my family be present at a wedding in Pakistan.

To all of you out there, I wish you the best of luck and hope you will soon be reunited with your loved ones.

What are the looking for when they ask me about my religion? I am not Muslim, but I know that the Qu'ran states that a Muslim can marry a Christian. Yes, they may ask to see if you are convert or not? Yes a Muslim man can marry a Christian and their kids will be raised Muslim. A muslim lady cannot marry a Christian man. If you have not read and studied the religion I suggest that you do so for your own information and understanding. I am a convert.

I have a few more questions that maybe someone has some answers to. I heard that you can file for a K1 and while it is being processed, get married and change to a k3. NO misinformation once you marry you have to void the K1 and start a new petition of K3 or CR1. How does this affect the amount of time it takes to get an interview? Does changing in the middle affect the process? I am looking for the quickest but the smartest way to be with Faisal. K1 are usually the fastest but a man can get stuck in a name check and it can take a long time to get cleared.

Also, I read that someone was asked in the interview if members from both families were present. Does this affect your iligebility? My father is disabled and it is very hard for him to travel. I may not have anyone from my family be present at a wedding in Pakistan. You do not need to have USC family present for Nikkah wedding in Pakistan but it would be nice. They will want to have pictues of the wedding and may ask for a list of attendees and contact information. We had a field investigation and they did contact the Nikkah attendess and verified the information. My parents are dead and my sons were too young to go to Pakistan when I traveled and married but we took plenty of pictures.

To all of you out there, I wish you the best of luck and hope you will soon be reunited with your loved ones.

Anybody else please feel free to give her your views.

Mary
