Just a quick update on our case...

Ali returned our packet 3 to the Embassy today (via AMEX). The guy who accepted his package told him to come back Dec. 22nd (two weeks) to find out his interview date.

baby steps... but steps.

Took UPS 4 days to get my package to him, would have been a day or so faster but the UPS woman here in the US who made the label typed his street wrong. Lukily they phoned him and he was able to pick the package up before they returned it back to me - yipes!

Hope everyone is doing well right now. The holidays can be so tough on those of us separated!

I'm waiting till the end of February...that'll be 5 and 1/2 months. after that i'm leaving. i dont know what domicile issues could arise. frankly i dont care. i have cousins who have stayed with their spouses in pakistan and have had no problems with any of this when they come here. besides, i dont expect that it'll take an additional 6 months...althouth u never know...these people are so moronic that name checks take them 3 months. i honestly cant believe that there isn't a more efficient way for them to handle these cases. i thought the 'K' visa program was designed to 'unite families quicker without them having to wait for any long security clearances' - then what the hell is AR? why aren't these checks performed upon application. fingerprinting I can understand, but name checks? they've had that information for months! 2 years of marriage and we still haven't started our life together yet. how long are we supposed to wait for a name check? some people get cleared in 3 months and others waiting over a year. is it because some names are longer than others? seriously, i cant understand the "reviewing" that goes on in DC. there's no rhyme or rhythm to the decisions these people make. DOS and consulates usually have different stories...and always NO information for us. i'm surprised no one has become suicidal as a result of USCIS and their incompetency.

slow your roll..

AP/AR sucks azz..you just started the AP/AR process wait a decent amount of time

before you start loading up the kin folk and moving to pakistan. if you got it like that

you could have moved there anyways. then filed DCF after living there 6+ months.. since thats not the path you picked. .just cool your jets and wait. < 3 months is not a decent wait >.

Congratulations and like you said each step is such an achievement and wishing you a fast interview date once Ali goes back to the embassy.

babybunny,

there is no such thing as a decent wait...

i didn't consciously pick this track...in my opinion even 2 weeks is an indecent wait after approval. i'm not comparing myself to others and how long they've waited. i'm basing my opinion on the description of what a K visa was designed to do. to hell with waiting.

had to send the original birth certificate

i dont think you want to send originals. they only need copies that are notorized.

sufi, if you feel moving to pakistan is the best option. i would do it in heartbeat. dont wait just go, but like i said it just depends on your situation. k3 is designed to be faster that cr1, but the name checks and AR/AP are just ways to keep the BS out of this country thats all. And yes good people do get caught in the middle. The reasons are obvious and not hidden, males tend to have more issues than females who are coming here from overseas.

by "this track" i was responding to someone commenting that i had 2 options: 1 - to apply for my husband from the US or 2 - to live in pakistan with him and apply for him from there.

at the time i wasn't familiar with these immigration processes and the time they take. and no i didnt do any research. i just got married. if i had known i would have stayed in pakistan

Hi Folks,

I got stuck although my interview gone well on 1st week of Dec-2006, NOW I need a Co-Sponsor. My wife is living with aunt and uncle they are old and they cant be a CO-SPONSOR. I either have no one US citizen in my family and around. Please if somebody can help me. Or tell me a way to solve this problem. Please help me I m seriously in tensions. If somebody is willing then I will send all my and my wife’s bio-data.

You ppl are the only source for me to find out the way to light. So please think seriously and help me I will be so so much thankful for this act of kind.
