  1. Wife sponsored a sibling back in 2016~2017. I know the actual case can take 15-20 years, but should we expect anything beyond the NOA1 at this point?
  2. You have to put some type of Pakistani address. Usually it is your home or one of a close relative (where you would presumably stay if you were to ever visit Pakistan). That's just how the system is made. It is like ID cards or DLs in the US. And before you say "bUt I LiVe iN aMeRiCa", that's just how the system works.
  3. It has both addresses because it functions as a standard Pakistani ID card within Pakistan.
  4. No harm in applying for K3 since there is no fee. There is a greater than zero probability that it helps.
  5. They will technically have to remarry their spouse so there is a new marriage date. Note this is very complicated because of Pakistani divorce laws.
  6. Pakistan does not require a marriage to be registered locally. You and your spouse should update your ID cards (using your South African marriage certificate) to show married status. That is the only "local" requirement.
  7. I meant to say that only citizens get it, so if one renounces, they do not get a NICOP. They can get a POC instead.
  8. I know people who stayed single into their 40s because their LPR parents sponsored them....
  9. You enter the applicable information but write "DECEASED" regarding residence.
  10. The majority of people keep their Pakistani citizenship unintentionally. That is to say, most assume that it went away when they naturalize in the US, but this is not true. So between those cases, and those who choose to maintain NICOPs, the majority do not renounce their Pakistani citizenship.
  11. NICOPs are ID cards given to CITIZENS.
  12. I keep hearing "22 months", where does this come from?
