I called the DOS today and they said that my wife's case was being processed at the embassy, so I asked if her security clearence was complete and they said yes. So what happens now ?

Congratulations and hope you get an email back soon with good news!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and for all the prayers. I really believe in prayers and appreciate all of them. I just came back from Jummah prayers and as always everyone of you are remembered daily from my side. Thanks again.

My wife had her interview (CR1) in islamabad yesterday, and after 5 min. of questioning about me and my family, the lady there started asking about my wife's previous marriage. She started scrutinizing the divorce document. My wife took the divorce document that she had received from the The union office administration in karachi, but apparently that was not sufficient and they needed additional document. The objection letter says that they need the court issued divorce document and the administrative processing paperwork. But my understanding is that the local council offices issue the divorce certificate. They told her that it may take 2-3 mnths to process everything. After raising the objection they asked her to send her passport along with the additional documentation.

I am trying to get all of the requested information together, the interview was on monday 0ct 5, and I am planning to send everything back by next week.

My questions are:

1) What is the most reliable documentation that I can get for them in karachi pakistan

2) How long does it really take from this point, is the 2-3 mnths time for real

3) What do they specifically need when they say administrative processing paperwork for the divorce

4) If you have been thru this please let me know what should I do.

I'm really depressed with this whole deal, I dont know how long its going to take to have my wife here with me. I was expecting them to ask more question regarding my marriage instead they drilled the hell out of her previous marriage documentation. I would really appreciate any feedback, I am not sure what is the right course of action at this point. Please respond as soon as possible, I'm trying to send out the infoby next week. Thanks ya'll, I would really appreciate any guidance.

AA,

Just wanted to wish you all luck in this tiring and long process. Inshallah, I hope we all get reunited with our families. My fiance and I toyed with the idea of doing the wedding in lhr and just switching to k3/cr1 and cancelling k1, as engagements this long just aren't done in our families. However, it seems for everyone on VJ those are taking just as long!! So we'll just go the k1 route.

I don't have much to add, but I wanted to wish you luck in dealing with this. Sounds to me like embassy has concerns about the previous marriage ending which might also be reflected in the current marriage. Others will likely have better input, but I would also suggest letters from friends and family, lots of pictures of your marriage, proof of current ongoing relationship - phone bills etc as additional documents.

BTW, it might be more helpful if you share more details as to processing dates, etc.

How long does it take if you get an objection on your interview due to lack of prior marriage termination documentation.

I hope someone can help you here, have you also posted this as a new topic on the forum?

My wife and I hope and pray that your son's next surgery is a success. May you and your husband find strength in these tough times!
