Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

Walikum Salaam,

Find the post by Tariq maybe three or four posts back and he has scanned and added his K3 letter from Islamabad with the requirements listed.

Mary

The K3 letter just states tax return for last year.... however, does anyone know through experience if the embassy will ask or need the W2?

Thanks!

My wife had the same letter but wasn't asked for W2 but only the Tax transcripts

I see there are some others in the same situation too, NVC claims my wife's IR-1 papers were sent to ISL at the beginning of the month, but no word from embassy yet. Anybody get an acknowledgment from embassy regarding any new files lately?

It took my wife 10 days to get it after it was transfered from the NVC but that was for K3 so I don't know if takes longer for Cr1.

Sorry can't help you more, btw nice Avatar!

In our case it was like 10 days before they had the case on file and in their system. Once a case completes here it is sent electronically to the embassy/consulate and then it has to wait on the hard copy to arrive and match the files and then it is entered in the system. They are slow sometimes getting this matched up so it can cause a few days delay. Just email them again and ask if they have your case in the system yet? Good luck!

Hello Everybody,

I just got NOA1 for my wife's EAD and I have found that her name spelled worong. Should we call or just wait when she goes for her biometric?

Thanks,

ALI

Personally speaking I would suggest you call or write to them. Considering the wait for other things you dont want to add on more time for something like this.

I just got a call from my wife this morning - she received packet 3.5 today. Appears to be a pretty standard packet.

Personally, I would contact them before it proceeds any further since it may be harder to correct the longer you wait.

Since it's the Cr1 Medical, make sure he takes all his vaccination records ( If any) plus takes his whole packet 3 excluding the forms and 2 photographs as well as copy of passport and original.

Questions ...

What do we need to send the embassy back at this stage? All the documents mentioned above sans medical report (since it says schedule medical as close to interview as possible).

Do we send the original marriage certificate etc. and then they schedule interview?

Also, since we sent DS-230 as well as I-864 to NVC, so I trust we just write a statement of this effect? I am curious though, which situation would require those two forms to be not submitted to NVC.
