From zeyad: "Same here buddy. I just had both approved today. What are the next steps. I'm soooo excited yet panicky at the same time. Any input would help.

Should I contact my wife and have her start anything back home or not? How long would it be before she gets the package?

And last, will she get the package? (you know how the addresses are confusing as hell over there) "

I suggest looking at the I-134 (affidavit of support) as you will need to send it to her, plus start practicing filling out forms which she will receive in the packet sent my the embassy: 2 copies of DS156, 1 copy of DS157 and 1 copy of DS230 Part 1. (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?autocom=custom&page=k3forms)

Make sure she is agathering all the documents needed like:

evidence of our relationship: cards, letters, photos.

certified copy of our marriage certificate as well as financial documents showing you have assets in common, another proof of relationship.

Her birth certificate

Filed: K-3 Visa Country: Pakistan
Timeline
Does anyone know how long a K3 visa is valid, i.e. how long you have to enter the U.S. that first time?

Edit: I'm not sure if I phrased that clearly. I am trying to figure out how long she can stay in Pakistan before she has to come to the U.S. She wants to spend a little time with her family before flying over, but I want to be sure that the visa doesn't expire and she doesn't get stuck!

Thanks.

Guest/ and anyone else??

I have a question for you. Some people have stated that the Packet 3 or 4 is if you are trying to get the I-130 (CR1) visa. And for the K3, there is no need for medical or police certificates.

To the point, my ? is if my NOA2 for both I129 & I130 were approved on April 10th. what will my wife in Pakistan (karachi) have to do? Will she just get an interview letter and show up with proof of marriage pics, tax returns, job letter, Fees? Or does she have to do medical and police reports and mail in. I noticed your timeline did not have much time before packet 3 and interview date. Someone, please help. I am so happy that we are approved, but am panicking too.

Guest my understanding is that the visa is valid for 6 months for entry into the US. It is a mulitiply entry visa compared to the K1 but you must enter before 6 months have lapsed.

Zeyad: With the K3 it is approved and should be sent to the embassy soon. Once it arrives it has to be entered into the system and then they should send out a packet with instructions for obtaining police and medical information. ALL APPLICANTS NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF VISA HAVE TO HAVE A MEDICAL AND POLICE CERTIFICATES. I am not sure but the CR 1 is probably just going to the NVC at this time and then they will issue the next set of forms and fees if you wish to pursue this course. If it has cleared at the NVC at the same time of the CR1 and both are sent to the consulate at the same time the consulate will cancel the K3 without any notice. This happened with my husband's visa.

Good luck. Right now you need to start getting pictures and evidence ready for the interview. Your packet should come soon and and I think K3 interviews are scheduled three or four months out it is the CR1 that takes a little longer to get on the books IF A MAN IS BEING PETITIONED.

Zeyad,

I contacted The Islamabad Embassy and they said they have a little different process then other embassys, what they do is they send out the packet with forms like DS-230, ds156, DS156k and a checklist which does require a police certificate (Or As our police calls it Chaal Challan certificate) and medical as well,

Islamabad Embasy said in their own words, "On April 10, 2007, electronic data on this case was transferred to this office. We will now have to wait for the National Visa Center to send us the physical file/petition also. As soon as it is received, we will have a packet of information send out to the applicant in this case.Do not prepare anything in advance. Once her file is with us, we will send her an interview letter immediately. She will have around five weeks to prepare.

Before this office gets to hear about this case file, the petition will receive a letter from the National Visa Center."

I hope this answers your questions

Hi yall...

has their been any MEN approved for visas SINCE 2007?????????????????????? if so tell us about it..

Hi Shon

My fiance was told congrats the day of his interview....that he was approved for the visa but would be placed on AP for 45 days. The CO said if 45 days passes and he hears nothing from them to call or write. So in terms of AP, nothing out of the ordinary.

Hope this is helpful.
