I am so sorry to hear that shon. I really am. These people dont understand how sensitive this process is, because applicants are newly married and, therefore, are more touchy.

I dont know more than you about security clerances, but may be your senator can help? I know your are INSHA ALLAH a great future lawyer, but may be seeking some legal help can INSHA ALLAH solve the problem? I know a friend of mine whose naturalization process was really complicated, but once he hired a lawyer, it took only few weeks to complete the case and he also recieved a letter of oppolgy from USCIS.

Crying is natural. But please dont think that you, ALLAH FORBID, can never be with Javed. INSHA ALLAH you will be with him soon. As much as I know you through this forum, you are a strong person. So keep that strength in you and pray to ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'AALA. We all will INSHA ALLAH pray for you.

Here is something that has always helped me in all difficult situations, and I have personal experience of this:

Everyday, first thing in the morning, before starting your day, read:

Surah-e-Fatiha, then:

Aaayah-AL-Kursi, then:

Surah-AL-Kafiroon, then:

Surah-e-Akhlaas (three times), then:

Surah-e-Falaq, then:

Surah-e-Naas, then:

Durood Shareef (at least three times, and then as many times during the day as you can).

It takes few minutes. And believe me it helps.

Also, Namaz-e-Hajaat is a great way to ask ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'AALA for help.

I will pray especially for you. INSHA ALLAH.

Assalam-o-Alaikum.

i did not file 2 applications!!!!!!!!!!

I sent I-129F for K3 on Jun. 16th, they rejected it and sent me back the whole package, including application, pictures, all forms, check, all supporting documents, even envelope in whcich I had sent my application. (they had rejected because: I had written "N/A" in the last box, which is for signature of person who prepared the form, if other than me. To them it was considered invalid signature). They advised me to send the application back after correction.

So, on Jun. 29th, I sent the application back with correction. It included only one check, and one of each forms, pictures, and documents!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess it cannot be considered two applications. :no: Because they wont issue two reciepts for only one check.

The check has been cashed.

I guess they issued a reciept before going to 4th of July holiday, and when they came back, and check got cashed, some one issued a new reciept. My problem is which one is my correct reciept number????? None has any status online.

Shon, I am very frustrated because of this and it is no laughing matter. I do know you have been through alot and I, and I guess everyone here appreciate your great support. Just a note: We are here to make each other feel better by supporting each other and by giving good advise. I am sure u didnt mean to LOL on me, but when a question is posted, the person asking it needs an answer not LOL. It is not a complaint so please dont be offended, I just didnt like it so had to mention it. We are still paki freinds right???????? Good Luck shonie and everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to finish this post nicely I am gonna include a joke:

:lol::lol::lol:

"President Bush surprised 30 immigrants by showing up and personally swearing them in as U.S. citizens. ... There was an awkward moment when President Bush said, 'You may now kiss the bride.'" --Conan O'Brien.

:lol::lol::lol:

the correct on is the ONE on the check.. :D

I have an attorney. I was told there is nothing that can be done as long as its in security check status. I managed to get the last check pushed through. when they decided to issue the visa- it triggered 4 security checks. soon as something clear- something else expires..

shon - who gave you the info about the 4 checks? the embassy or DOS?

DOS- sue did.

I Laugh in order to keep my sanity and my head clear. you dont know frustration til you get as far down the wire as alot of us have. you dont know frustration til you have been interrogated 2 dayum hours and your wife gets a field investigation by the embassy. you dont know what frustration is til you have been apart longer than you expect. I support everyone on this board. when you get down the wire and some guy is confused about damm case numbers. you wil understand what hell frustration is..so maybe its better you laugh. like i said you dont know frustration! - btw, we had 2 field investigations and no visa.

that my dear is frustration!

Okay, ALHAMDULILLAH, confusion is cleared. I called USCIS and after 80 minutes of hold was transfered to an immigration officer, who said the reciept number on 2nd NOA1 is correct and that it will take upto 60 days to see it online and that it may take upto 4 months to process. But she told me about 4 months just by looking at march 05 date. So lets just wait and pray to ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'AALA for easy home-coming for every one's family. Aameen.

Shon, I am sorry for the post, I know you been through alottttttttt, May ALLAH SUBHANAHU WA TA'AALA help you. Aameen.

the USICS and DOS work for YOU. Your process will be smooth dont stress.

your bringing over a wife. the only time you should FREAK is if your case gets sent back to the servicing

center like mine and Psoft petitions did. HE will tell you what a hell nightmare it was for him . right now wait til it gets to NVC and then to the embassy. once its CASE COMPLEATE you know its all down hill from there.

SL brother told you earlier and telling you now ‘show some patience’ immigration process is really slow !!

Okay tell us something about you? Where you from I mean where you lived in Pakistan? what you do for living? How old you are? your pakistani or US school/college?
