Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[KHURRAM SERAJ 0]

Hi Guys,

I have a question. I came to the US last year on CR-1 visa and received my 2 year conditional green card after a couple of months. I'm leaving for Pakistan on Thursday for a week. Is there anything else I have to show at the airport to reenter United States or just my Green Card?

Thanks,

Waqar.

Awaiting Packet 3.5 From Islamabad

Anyone know how long sec checks are taking these days. Also, as I am in US, is it too late to switch to i-485. Biggest mistake not to do that and go for premium 1-140 processing.

I tried calling the embassy but no response. Also, sent email 3 times and no response. Anyone know how I can get hold of them.

Also, how does everyone know when Islamabad recd the papers and when they send out the packet.

Thanks to everyone in providing additional info.

I am sure he knew he needed his passport. I am guessing he proble was assuming he needed a travel document.

but, no he has it already.

lol! Thank God you now believe that i am in the country shon! Lol. You kept telling people I was lying and that I was still in Pakistan and pretending to be in the US. No wait, you though I was in Canada hahahaha!

PS the US consulate does not entertain Medical expedites until one is in the death bed!

Response from Islamabad embassy

So far only the electronic data is available and 6 – 7 months is the time in which to expect the processing.

for packet 3.5 you can check back with us after two more weeks.

clearances are done after the interview.

lanseeeeeeeeeeey! How is you

[zeyad 0]

Anyone,

For the k3 (i-129f???)

How about the the interview letter and packet. So from what I am understanding, she will get a packet with a list of requirements such as medical, police certs, and so on??

But will the interview letter be in it too, or will she get it after she returns this list of documents. OR, are these things to be bought to the interview with her??

Also, will she have to take all of my financials (paystubs, job letter, tax returns) with her to the interview, or does she send it in??

Fees, how about the affidavit of support fee. How is it paid, over there or here??

Oh yeah one more thing, how about the delivery of documents. I keep on hearing about AMEX. Will she get her packet, etc at her home or does she have to go to AMEX office?

Zeyad,

The K-3 person gets the packet with the interview letter inside it along with the list of items that they require like the medical, police and financials.

She is supposed to get all evidence together and bring to the interview and submit it at that time. Only the CR-1 applicants have to return their informaton to the embassy before their interview is scheduled.

The affidavit of support fees I think are paid at the embassy but not sure. Laney, Michigan or a K-3 person could verify this for you. And she will need the fingerprint fees on the day of the interview as well.

Depending on where she lives in Pakistan they have a few different courriers they use.

Sorry I could not offer you any more help and maybe someone that did the KI-3 process can answer your questons for you.

you have to pay finger print fees at the embassy. 100.00 something dollers.

Thank you Mary & Baby Bunny, How are the fees paid in Pakistan? what i mean is , does she pay cash check or does Pakistan have money orders in US dollars.

You're right about talking with someone who went through with the k-3 visa, Khurram and I are looking at the same timing. By the way, My wife is in Karachi.

So is there anyone that can guide and advise me on the k-3 (I-129 & I-130 same date NOA2) process at Islamabad consulate????? Any help is sincerely appreciated so that I don't have panic attacks. I need my wife here with me NOW!!!

Thank you.

Zeyad,

As you know I have the same day NOA2 as well so I scheduled an appointment with an immigration officer and he said when you send in the I129f immigration sends it to the service center that has teh I-130 on file and they process them together and your 1-130 is assumed to be processed in america with AOS as you have filed for K3. This is what he told me so I am not worried anymore and my NOA2 that came for I0130 says that we have determined that your wife will be applying for AOS using form I-1485, so I wouldn't panic about this if I were you.

Some of my relatives that gotten K3 from pakistan said they took Cash to the consulate and submitted cash so I don't know anything about Money Orders or bank drafts.

As you know my wife is also in karachi and maybe they can get in touch if our interview turns out to be the same day as well.Where are you in US?

Let me know if you have any questions

Wasalaam

Khurram
