Hello

I am living in U.S.A and am a US citizen. I have applied for my fiance and he is planned to come soon since he has already got the k-1visa. The problem is that I do not wish to marry him any more because we broke up. I want to cancel this process. How do I cancel this process?

Thank you.

Hello everyone, wanted to post a non-immigration related question ... Anoybody on the forum have information on VoIP services in Pakistan, specifically Islamabad? I want to know if there are any companies offering residential VoIP service in Pakistan? If there are, how reliable are they and how is the quality? I'm currently using Packet 8 to give mother in law a US ph # so that she can stay in touch with my wife. however if I were to get a Pakistani ph #, then that allows us to stay in touch with a lot more people. Any information would be much appreciated ...

I use Get call (http://click2dial.net/getcall.php) which gives me a local number for Pakistan then I forwards it Grand central (http://grandcentral.com) which offers a free hunt group so when someone calls me from Pakistan it is local to them and my home, work and cell phone all ring at the same time and I can pick up the call where I can.

Guys would like to know the some trends in regards to Scheduling of Interview was IR1/CR1 Cases at Islamabad. With the grace of God the process has been Smooth so far and hope it will be over in the same fashion and sooner. My Wife Received the Instruction packet 3 from Consulate last week and we are going to submit the papers they requested soon. My only concern is scheduled Date of interview given by Consulate in Islamabad. I have heard that consulate is scheduling Interview as far as Jan or Feb for Interviews for some people (heard this for Attorny). Have you guys experienced this or heard anything like that. according to couple of timelines it seem like interviews are scheduled like month to month and half apart.

Any Updates or experiences will be appreciate. Thanks Alot. (May Allah Help you All, Inshallah.)

Well according to BrainTel's website they are available only in Lahore, I don't know how up to date it is. I'm looking for service in Islamabad. GrandCentral looks cool ...

Congratulations on getting your packet and sending it back soon. The disappointing news is that they are taking a long time to schdule interviews like your attorney told you. I know since I have been on VJ over two years that it is taking 4-6 months for interviews of any kind from Islamabad and in our case it was 6 months. This consulate is very busy and understaffed and all you can do is ask them to move the interview up if they have any openings. Good luck.

Hi,

I'm a US citizen. I got married in April 2007 in Pakistan. After consulting with friends, I filled i130 when I received the receipt notice then I sent i129f along with receipt notice on i130. Yesterday I received email from USCIS updating me that approval letter for i129f and i130 are sent.

Now I need you guys to advise me whether I should drop i129f and proceed with i130 or drop i130 and proceed with i129f?

Couple of my friends who only filled i130 are waiting for the interview date. One guy got interview date after 6 months and the other got date after 7 months Ghee that's long time.

If I go the i130 route then obviously it's going to take may be 10 months before my wife gets visa however if I understood correctly i129f is much quicker then that but don't know the timeline between the approval and visa?

Also if someone can please explain what's the process like once my wife enters US on i129f.

Thanks,

Rainbow007

From asmo:

Salaam Rainbow,

Here is a link to pakistani community forum. You will get better and fast response. According to recent approval in Islamabad, for K3 (3-4 month) and CR/IR(6 month). I dont think you will have a choice which one to pick. Your K3 will go much earlier than I130. I130 stays in NVC for more than 2 month where I129 only stays for couple of weeks. Good luck to your journey

W/Salaam,

Thanks for the info Asmo. I have heard that if I go for i129F then there's a lot of paper work that need to be done once my wife arrives in US and hearing from people that it's better that my wife waits in Pakistan and comes through i130 and she will get her Green card immediately.

It's difficult to wait for 10-12 months if I go for i130 however at the same time if I go for i129f I hope it won't create too much headache for me as I'm working professional and can't take days off to collect proper papers etc...

Please advise!
