Ok. It does make sense to have a different schedule for K3 interviews. Those two are different categories. CR1 is an immigrant visa, K3 is not. Still Hafiz sahab has to verify it for us.

Okay. a member "Fak" just got his K3 date for Islamabad embassy. I have invited him to come here and post. My belief is that he got date for just few weeks. Anyways, I hope he comes and posts date here.

O'MUNDYON!!!!!!!! JAB CHANN CHARHE GA TAY DUNYA WEKHAY GEE ;)

babybunny!!!!!!!! where is Javed? why isn't he posting anyomre? It would be nice to chat with him about Pakistan.

Did anyone have their police report issued when they were not in Pakistan. I am here in Canada, if I go through the embassy it takes about 3 months. I am not sure if they would issue it without me being present in Pakistan. Can anyone shed light on that?

Salam Everyone,

I am new to this forum. A little information about me. I am a USC applying for my wife in Pakistan. I received NOA1 for K3 and on the applicant name it has my name. Is this correct or my wife name should be the applicant name?

Ok, everyone. Today I received my forms including the DS-3032 and the $70 fees for the affidavit.

Do I send the DS-3032 to Pakistan for my wife to sign? Confused...

I wish my I-129F is approved fast inshallah. Make dua everyone.

If I send the bill for the affidavit, will it cancel my k3? I do not want to get my k3 canceled.

I-130 (CR1) Form:

  • Received NAO1 on April 14, 2006
  • Approved on July 14, 2006

  • DS230 part I & copy of biographic page arrives to the NVC on November 06, 2006
  • Case Completed at NVC on November 30, 2006.
  • CR-1 forwarded December 07, 2007, and arrived at Islamabad Embassy on December 12, 2006.
  • Wife picks up packet for CR-1 on January 10, 2007.

I-129F (K3) Form:

  • NOA1 received on June 08, 2006
  • Stamped and mailed a RFAE notice on November 14, 2006 to Homeland Security. Sent next day but too late for K3...
  • USCIS receives my RFAE on November 21, 2006, and case is now at the Missouri Service Center.
  • I-129F approved on November 28, 2006.
  • I-129F forwarded to Islamabad embassy on December 06, 2006.

you have an approved I-130.

roll the dice and make your move!

if you go with paying the fees it will cancell your K-3.

course. if the K-3 and Cr1 reach the embassy at the SAME time.

you will get the Cr1.

if you had a magic wand. here is what i think you would like to happen:

K-3 get to the embassy. while waiting for the interview day to arrive.

suddenly your CR1 reaches the embassy. as luck would have it your K-3 interview

is now your Cr1 interview " jackpot"

the only way to make that happen is to take a chance ...send in the fees.

only you can make that choice. but, keep in mind. you gonna pay the fees either now or later. :huh:

use the email option. have your wife send email to nvc. you should get response within a few days. or you can use what psoft did and mail that ds3032 on behalf of your wife. Dont need no wife signature. I would suggest email its faster. If you need to know the format of the email let me know i will pm you the format.

No sending the fees in will not cancel your k3. your k3 will only cancel if all your forms are done while k3 is still at embassy waiting for interview date.

i believe my ds230 will generate today. i try calling nvc regarding k3 no luck, line is busy all day long. I emailed them on friday so maybe i will get response tommorow about k3. oh man i am getting all excited.

ok Adil Khan, i sent you pm regarding the format of the email. have your wife email nvc at NVCINQUIRY@state.gov

Hello. I, am a US citizen and my spouse is in Islamabad. I filed his K-3 back in May and got notice from the USCIS on 7/27 that the case is being transferred to the NVC so it can be sent to Pakistan. It looks like an interview should be scheduled in September hopefully. I understand that all visa applicants must now go through a security clearance in Washington after the interview and this can take anywhere from 45 days-several months. Does anyone have any idea how long it's taking on average for this? Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks.
