where did i say they were a broker or agency? You really shouldnt comment on a culture or situation you dont understand

cant do dating. It isn’t allowed in Islam. Plus I’ve heard those dating apps are a disaster anyways. Like 90% of women only matching with 10% of men on those apps. Such is life, oh well. Best to focus on other endeavors then.

i know. Thats why I wished the times were shorter. Im not waiting another 3 years when my ex-fiance just wasted my 2 years of my time and didnt even apologize. I just feel all doors are closed for me now. Just wished things were different.

if i could find someone. Not as many options locally unfortunately. I was speaking to a matchmaker, she had way more girls to speak to in pakistan.

no longer doing it. My ex-fiancee just ghosted me and wated nearly 2 years of my life. I just dont want to go through another waiting period like that.

i wish. I have a stable job here and cant just leave that

There are so many women in Pakistan im interested in marrying but gosh I cant wait 3+ years. Its just so unreasonable. Will the wait ever come down to a reasonable time period?

pakistan. Most likely islambad/karachi

If i get engaged again to someone else from the same country, what would I have to do? Would I have to send in a petition? I just want to make sure im clear.

how come they aren’t responding to my email or giving a confirmation?

Hi Everyone, I previously was engaged and applied for the K-1 fiancée visa for my ex-fiancée, however, she called off the engagement in May of 2024. So things ended. Then I received an email that my petition had reached the Islamabad embassy in August. I’d didn’t really bother doing anything since I just didn’t care anymore and thought the petition would expire since I wouldn’t be responding to the request for interview or any other steps. But now I’m wondering how can I withdraw it? I just don’t want any negative consequences from doing nothing. I sent an email to both NVC and US embassy in Islamabad . NVC told me to contact the embassy. I emailed the embassy twice but haven’t heard back. What should I do?

I received my NOA2 on 1/21/2024. Shortly after i received the I-797 letter in the mail stating that my approval period is from 1/22/2024 to 5/21/2024. I emailed the NVC and i got the following response from them: "To Whom it Concerns: The National Visa Center (NVC) has received your petition from U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services. Your NVC case number is ISLXXXXXXXXXX. Due to your petition type, you will not receive a request for fee payment or document submission. All case parties will be notified when this petition is forwarded to the assigned U.S. Embassy/Consulate General. For the most up to date information about the U.S. Embassy or Consulates current operating status, please visit their website at https://usembassy.gov. Regards," Its April now and I havent received any letter in the mail. What should I do about the approval date if its expring in May? Will they extend it automatically? I tried contacting NVC again about this last week and have received no response yet. Please let me know if there is anything I should be doing. My fiancee is in Pakistan. Thanks.

I recently got my i-129F approved and it expires in Late May. I heard that Islamad is horribly backlogged. What is the current interview time frame? I heard its like 6 to 18 months.

Thanks. My I-129F was very front loaded with the engagement photos, other parties, and chat logs. Also statements of willingness to marry etc. Should I wait for the NVC letter then send out an extension request? Also when am I able to complete DS-160?

So I found out my I-129F has been approved. I was doing some reading and basically this is what happens now: 1) USCIS will send me a letter that my case has been approved and they are sending it NVC 2) After a few weeks, NVC receives the case and assign it a number. NVC will send me a letter with this case number. 3) NVC will then send it to the embassy/consulate of my fiancee's country. 4) ONce the embassy receives it, we then have to prepare DS160 and I-134F 5) My fiancee then takes the medical exam and schedules the interview appointment 6) During the interview she provides DS160, I-134F and other forms 7) She then receives the K1 Visa after the embassy/consulate makes the decision Correct me if im wrong somewhere here. Also my fiancee is in pakistan My questions are: 1) I was reading somewhere, that I should call NVC instead of waiting on them to provide me a letter with the case number. Is this still the case? 2) How do I track the status of the case once it reaches NVC? 3) When exactly are DS-160 and I-134F forms needed? 4) What other forms do we need to prepare or what other documents can I gather? 5) Can the I-129F approval be extended? IF so who should I contact and what is the benefit to this? 6) Will my fiancee be preparing the forms and documents from now or do I the petitioner have anything else to complete? 7) Can I help my fiancee with the forms and documents? Its just so confusing after NOA2. All info would be appreciated

I received NOA1 on 2/10/2023. I was looking at the tables and case processing and it looks like USCIS is done with February applicants and is moving on to March and April application. Is this normal? Will I hear back? What should I do if I don’t hear back? My fiancée is in Pakistan. I’m just kind of worried. Any information would be appreciated.

When do you think it will come down to normal levels again?

Why is Islamabad so long?

I applied in Feb 2023. What is the current processing times and when I can I expect NOA2 and then NVC, Interview etc? I heard USCIS has started to speed things up? Is that true? Please let me know. Thanks.

So he got engaged than applied for 1-129f/k1. She then did the interview and was issued a k1 visa. After that my brother and family went to go do the nikkah and bring her here for court marriage. This was back in 2015. It happened so fast. Like 7 months from application to legal marriage in states.

Hey thank you so much. Even if it does happen while I’m in academy, I’m just going to get my parents to chaperone her to academy and marry her over the weekend.

good information. Will definately have to have a talk with the folks regarding this.

Yeah it is the nikkah. So I will adjust and avoid doing it over there. I guess I will bring her here and have the nikkah. But my question is my brother did the nikkah and then came over here and did the legal marriage in the court. How did that go through?

Why should I be worried? My brother did the same thing.

What things can I delay? Any information would be appreciation. I know I will be okay but I my anxiety is getting the better of me
