No, you don't need to translate the NADRA marriage certificate since it has both English and Urdu. You may keep your petitioner's birth certificate just in case they ask for it but usually they don't ask for it. At least they didn't ask in our case. They only asked for applicant's birth certificate.

Thank you it feels good to be back on this forum. Phew those 5 years though...they were no joke tbh. Alhumdulilah all is well now. Hope you're doing good too @podeena 🙂 Just want to convey my best wishes to all those who are patiently waiting to be reunited with their spouses. I know long distance relationships are not for the faint of heart but if you truly want to be with your spouse, you'll overcome all the obstacles in this immigration journey. It will be worth it in the end. Best of luck to all those who are waiting for their interviews at ISL embassy and congrats to all those who got their visas approved.

islamabadembassy Tax Filing Status (Split)
Kuchiki replied to BasitFionaAli's topic in Tax & Finances During US Immigration
Taxes should have been filed as 'Married filing Seperately' instead of Single. -
Get it done before medical exam.

Spouse got the polio vaccine from CDA Medical Centre in Islamabad (Govt hospital) and already downloaded her NADRA polio vaccination certificate too.
-
Thank you for the advice. I have already applied online for the medical appointment at AMC. Now waiting for their appointment confirmaton. Will do as you said once i receive the 4 digit pin.
-
They covered till July 2022. You will receive yours in 10 months or so. That's a rough guess. They are speeding up though thankfully.
-
As in you registered online on their website for scheduling the medical appointment? Let me know when your spouse receives their medical appointment confirmation email from Aziz Medical Centre. Because I did the same. Applied online. They weren't picking calls though.
-
Thank you! Also a side question, my spouse got her last covid shot (fully vaccinated + booster shot) in July 2022. Almost 2 years have elapsed since, is her covid certificate still valid to schedule her medical appointment? or she needs to get a new one? Would really appreciate your feedback 🙏.

The DS-260 form was filled and submitted to NVC in March 2022. We got DQd in May 2022. We received our Interview Letter today. Interview is scheduled for March 2024. Should the form DS-260 be updated or the old one would suffice? Does it have an expiration date?
-
Congrats! Your spouse is based in Islamabad or other city? Did your spouse call the designated medical centre for scheduling the appointment or did they go on their website and registered for e-medical?
-
Alhumdulilah just now received our IL after 5 years of starting this Immigration process. It's been a long time coming but Alhumdulilah 🙏
-
Not yet. Consulate will probably give out ILs after the election week is over in Pakistan. That's my best guess. God knows better though 🙂 🙏
-
Thank you for clarifying that petitioners can't accompany the applicants to the interview. And congrats for your spouse's verbal visa approval. Best of luck for the remainder.
-
Call the embassy and inform them that your wife only speaks pashto and would be needing you as an interpreter. Do this asap before her interview. Good luck.
-
Can your spouse speak Urdu? If yes, then she can always opt for 'interview in Urdu' before her actual interview. The officer will ask before interview regarding the choice of the interview language, English or urdu. You do not need to accompany your wife as an interpreter unless she has a speaking disability in which case a sign language interpreter is allowed to accompany her. You can only accompany her till the waiting area of the shuttle service. I hope it's clear now. In case your wife does not speak English or Urdu, then you need to contact the consulate by email or phone and let them know that you will be accompanying her as an interpreter since she cant speak English or Urdu.
-
Just checked the official guidelines from the travel.state website regarding accompanying persons for Islamabad embassy as of 2023. Attached is the screenshot from the document. It clearly states only two instances where a person can accompany the applicant.
-
And when did your wife's interview take place? Was it recent? Generally embassies do not allow unless there's a valid reason for petitioner to accompany the applicant to the interview. Rules keep on changing though.
-
Unless the applicant needs a translator or has special needs, no other individual is allowed to accompany the applicant to the interview.
-
Not yet. Still waiting.
