I talked to the embassy today and asked how can I go about talking to a CO regarding whats going on with the case. I was told that for that I would have to come to the embassy before 12:30. so I am thinking I might just do that in two weeks!

The best thing is that I live in Islamabad and the embassy is not very far from where I live. Even the the whole taking a bus to the embassy procedure is a pain in the butt!

I suppose. but, really if your case is at DOS - unfortunately you have to keep calling DOS.

they will have first information anyways. seems like your case is out of the hands of the CO.

we decided to give up on all this sh it and just concentrate on each other. Its bingos birthday..

Happy Birthday, Bingo

Laney sorry to hear that your still dealing with the headaches. I know it is not so easy we are working on the drivers test here in Alabama and it is messed up the way they do the foreign testing. Good luck and hope you and Nas are enjoying yourselves.

It is messed up here Imran. They only accept applicants at one office for the whole state and they only accept so many. You line up at 6 am and doors open at 8 am. IF you are lucky you can do the written test. If you pass they will not allow you to get a learners permit. You have to take the road test and only so many of those done daily for foreigners as well. And they do not do these tests until the very end of the day so you must sit all day. If you are not lucky you must come back until you have a spot to do these tests. :(

We are going back next week and trying to get his written and praying inshallah he passes and that they will allow him his road test on same day.

:dance::dance::dance::dance:

well ignore it if you dont like my advise. funny - you know I am right.

lets see:

you show up at the Embassy. start squaking about you wanna sue the goverment for a dayum

k-3 visa.. :lol: they tell you. sir, have your attorney contact us.

they then document your record with some negitive stuff. not a pretty picture.

or you show up..

and you get told sorry sir CO is avalible after 4 30Pm.

but, dayum its closed at 4 30pm. then perhaps when you finally talk to a CO

he tells you. Sorry sir- your on AP/AR nothing you can do..

either way. Whinner! you cant get no where while you are under security checks!

its an ugly evil but, that is how the cookie is crumbling.

so make 1001 calls to the DOS and keep your sanity. what little bit you have. :lol:

it is sad that so many guys are coming on international marriages and then as soon as they get the harra patta, they want to get divorce. This is happening to both pakistani and american girls.
