Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0

[KHURRAM SERAJ 0]

I just received emails stating that my wifes I-130 and I-129 have been approved. I just wanted to say that, thanks to all the folks who have posted here and shared their timelines. If was'nt for that I would have been lost. Thanks For Sharing, everyone.

Congrats!!!! I hope the rest goes as smoothly, feel free to ask any questions if you need any help.

The embassy requested the most recent tax papers from the petitioner(wife) and the visa will be on the way. They are not going to issue me the full 1 year IR/1 visa unless I do the medical again.

NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IR1 is 10 years

[TIME FRAME 0]

The embassy issue 6 months visa for IR/1 and the green card you receive after you land is valid for 10 years. ( THERE IS NO SUCH VISA FOR 10 YEARS TO FLY TO U.S)

Oasriz, Did you request your June 5th interview. It's strange, because I recieved a mid July interview for my wife, and we had received it before your's. I wish her interview was earlier. Can you please let me know? Thank you.

No, we didn't request anything at all. The form my wife received was dated May 11th and says "June 05, 2007 at 8:00 a.m. for your K3 visa interview.

She went for her medical examination yesterday and has to go back on Monday to get her medical documents.

It appears there are at least 3 people on this forum who's wives will have an interview in the next 2 months for a K3 visa.

Please let me know if she gets vaccinations. Me, you and Zeyad have their wife's interviews coming up (K3)

Good Luck!!!

Hello VJ members,

A great news. Today just receive call from US embassy a lady told me that we are changing your interview date from 26th April to 29th March

One of my friends wife also received same call today and the interview date is 29th March.

Now i need to hurry for my medical. I call Aziz Center for medical he told me to come on Monday 10am and report will be ready on Wednesday 28th March.

My wife was going back to US on 31st March i thought she will not attend my interview but fortunately interview date is now 29th march. If i am lucky Inshallah we will go together. (Really worried about AP/AR )

Thanks

Zaki

Zaki or anyone, Is it easy to request and earlier interview date then what they gave you?

[zeyad 0]

OK, I'm debating on requesting an earlier date. I am grateful and happy that the interview is about 2 months away (Mid July), However, I would like to move it up to first week of June, if possible. My wife recieved her packet on May 5th. I need some opinions from VJr's here that have been through this or may have dealed with the embassy in Islamabad. Are they flexible, or will it be a "use it or lose it" thing.

I just sent an email to request them if it is possible to arrange interview earlier but i receive reply stating that it is not possible. You can also try may be it work for you. Call them if possible instead of email. And good luck to upcoming interview of your wife.

Hello Everybody,

I have a question. My wife is going to ISB embassy on Monday to submit I-134 and tax return. The tax returns she has are for 05 and prior. Now, I have a return for 2006 too, you think they would ask for that or whatever she has is enough. Her interview was on Feb 06, 2007 and that time I had not filed my 2006 tax return. Also, her case number has 2006, so I am assuming that would ask for previous year return.

Thanks,

ALI

A friend of mine got a letter from USCIS that his I-130 have been transferred to California Cneter. We are wondering why is that becasue we are three friends and we all filed our wives but it didnt happen with me or other friend that our case was transferred to California center.

I would Play it safe and send her your 2006 Tax return (W2 and 1040), You have waited so long for this and you wouldn't want them to ask for something and your wife doesn't have it.

I would scan the 1040 and w2 to a PDF (so it has your sig) and email it to her and have her print it out so it looks just like a photocopy

You are right. I was going to send her but she is leaving for ISB tonight and even I would have send her by Fedex or UPS, there was no way she would have recieve it. I dont have a scanner and i m not very good in computer, let me find out that any stationary shop provide that kind of facilities.

Thanks very much K.

What about faxing the return directly to Embassy or any other palce where she can have it.
