hmmm... i don't know what to make of my call with DOS - I s/w a lady w/ a Filipino accent - she's a bit impatient and gets annoyed when you ask q's or ask for clarification...

she said that a cable has been sent to the embassy and it's pending at the embassy now BUT it doesn't look like it's final b/c the FP results aren't in... I asked what the date of the cable sent was and first she told me it doesn't matter b/c it's not final, then seemed like she checked and said the date wasn't indicated... then when I asked if normally a final cable is marked as "final" she seemed irritated and said "believe me if it's done they'll contact him b/c they'll be glad to get a case out of the way" so I just said okay thanks....

what do you all think this means - I'm definitely not getting my hopes up... in fact, i'm a little concerned b/c if it's not "final" then what else could they want from the embassy??? maybe I should try again tomorrow and see if someone more patient would be willing to answer my questions - or maybe call the embassy in a day or two???

okay so I called back - got a SUPER nice lady named "Ola" (something like that)... she checked and stayed on the line w/ me for some time... she said that it didn't specifically say the prints were back but that she would assume it had b/c typically the cable would not have gone back to the embassy and as far as she could tell the clearance process was completed here in washington and it's now up to ISL for final adjudication... but she also said that it was not a clear cut response so ISL might need to do some follow up - I asked what a "not clear cut" response was and she said she couldn't say... she did also say that based on everything she saw on the different screens all seemed normal and nothing out of the ordinary.. and also that the ISL email came on the 30th, the cable was sent out at the end of last week and that ISL has only had it for two days now.... OMG I'm so nervous now... khaire insha'Allah

I am a little lost at the timeline, if the processing center recieves documents for my wife today for a K3, what kind of timing am I looking at? Thank you for your responses.

[hafiz 1]

you are looking at 6 months minimum for k3, minimum

when did you apply

[Seperated_Lovers 0]

Assalam-o-Alaikum;

I dont know if I should be happy or be worried!!!!!!!!!!!

I have recieved a 2nd Reciept Notice (NOA1) today for K3. It has a different reciept number than the one I recieved Saturday and it indicates recieve date as July 05 2006 and Notice date as July 07, 2006, which are different dates from the dates on First NOA1. Meanwhile, I am still unable to find the status of any of the reciept numbers online. What to make of it? What should be done??????????????

Please Note: I have three reciept numbers now for K3.....

1) The reciept number they had on Rejection letter when they rejected the application and sent it to me for correction.

2) The reciept number on first NOA1.

3) The reciept number on 2nd NOA1.

Helpppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear brother & sisters, Salam

I am very thankful to Almighty Allah, prophet Muhammad (sww) & his family that finally my wife approved today at United States embassy Islamabad for her CR1 visa as per new rules she will get the package (brown envelope) via Amex in one week (inshallah). I know it was not an easy journey for me in the beginning however after the approval I had very smooth ride. I would like to thank every individual for her/his guidance and moral support through out the process (17 months).

I will write her interview details in a later post as per her it was very simple and straightforward immigration interview.

For those who are still waiting best of luck guys everything will be all right soon.

I am very relieved and grateful to ALLAH for this day.
