Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[takram2000 0]

Thank you all for your response, so in nutshell everyone thinks I call my wife so she can replace my name with her father name on passport. In Pakistan i think in these days they just issue new passport. So I will tell her to make copies of old passport before submit for rechange fathe name to husband name.

I am not planning to change her last name or anything of this nature. Just to replace father name with husband name to show to embassy or might be embassy ask why she did not replace father name to husband name on her passport.

Anyone has similiar issue at islamabad embassy? Last call or any other advice before i make call to her and start this process of replacing father name to husband name on her passport (i believe line 3 or whatever the line is that).

Thanks

my friend just change the name on line 3. it will save headaches no questions. some people liks us1415 did not have issues. so people like sham did have issues. my wife never had a passport to begin with so she just got a new one. and put my name on line 3, kept her old maiden on line one.

from islamic perspective you should keep old name for wife. so that she is identifed by father name. but i dont want to start a debate here. lol christmas tree anyone?

Hey everyone!

Hope everyones doin great!

I was wondering that after my husband gets his green card (I am assuming he will get that when we arrive in the US since we've been married for over 2 years), when can he travel back to Pakistan? I have heard rumours that he won't be able to travel for 5 yrs-but I dont think that is true.

Could anyone who has received the green card or knows anything let me know!

Thanks a bunch:)

Thanks hafiz, I called my wife yesterday just to give her headsup. Here what she have told me. In order to replace my name with father name on line 3, NADRA will asked her to change her middle name to husband name, e,g. her name is S (first name) M (middle name, thats her father name), S (last name).

NADRA told her in order to replace husband name from father name on line 3. She must also on line one replace M (middle name, thats her father name to husband first name).

This will bring up some problem, because when I filled her I-130 and I-129f I have mentioned her full name as S (first name) M (middle name, thats her father name), S (last name).

Second point,

She have passport, but her picture in passport is with HIJAB (because of Umra she performed), do she also need to change her photo on passport according to US requirement, like hair visually showed in picture? please help i need to start this process ASAP.

Thanks,

Was it hard to get the Canada Vistor Visa as a Paksitani citizen?

If your husband has a Green card, he does not need a visa for Canada.

holy smokes- I think learned something new here.. KLM goes to PK?

does KLM go to Lahore? or where.. I can fly on KLM for free..

KLM does not go to Pakistan, it flies to Dubai and you get a connection by Emirates.

does anyone know if british airlines goes to PK.

Yes, British Airways flies to Islamabad.

Every time i called the NVC about how long anything would take, for ex. sending my file to Islamabad. , They told me it takes 4 to 6 weeks, every with them can take up to 4 to 6 weeks, when i asked that when will they be sending me some forms, or when will they do anything, every time i got, 4 to 6 weeks. So i wouldn't worry that yours has not reached Islamabad yet.

I seriously doubt that matters, on my passport i am not wearing hijab (because i was not muslim at that time) but i do wear hijab on every other form of id i have taken now that i am muslim, for example my driver's license, i wear hijab, and for my college ID i also have hijab. If it was against the law for a woman to wear hijab for her passport photo, i would be shocked.
