    Only because these new portals don't allow you to schedule the appointment until your status is "Ready". You can do it early if you want to and just wait until your status changes to do the rest

    https://www.ustraveldocs.com/pk/en/immigrant-visa#kvisa Follow the steps there.... it's a different portal. Looks like they changed it on Feb 8th, 2025

    Manila did this last summer and then in the fall they dumped like 1000 appointment slots on the website so it looks like maybe they're having the same thing going on

    Ah wait.... It looks like they changed the website for pakistan and did not update the link on the Department of State website. Standby

    Are you trying it from your phone's browser?

    When I clicked it, it brought me here and I'm in the US

    Also keep in mind that even though the K-1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa, for the purposes of the interview, the embassies treat it just like an immigrant visa. (With the exception of scheduling the interview. You will schedule it yourself where an immigrant visa gets scheduled by the NVC). So follow all the checklists and preparation steps listed on that page I linked above.

    The DS-160 is valid for 1 year after you submit it, regardless I would wait until the case says "Ready". You do not schedule the interview with the DS-160 form. For the specific processes in Pakistan I would start here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/ISL-Islamabad.html

    You do not need to wait for the Embassy to send you an email to schedule a K-1 in Manila. As long as your case status shows "Ready" you can schedule your appointments. However, there has been some kind of meltdown there in Manila and no appointments have been showing up on the website for several weeks. There is a thread here on VJ already going for this:
  11. Edward and Jaycel
    Yes that is the one and You're welcome!
  12. Edward and Jaycel
    That will be the receipt number from the I-129F petition
  13. Edward and Jaycel
    Same here in Denver LOL
  14. Edward and Jaycel
    Always.... it's in the INA. Don't sweat the overstay part of it
  15. Edward and Jaycel
    No way to tell what they are going to do... please let the thread know what happens
  16. Edward and Jaycel
    This is what I was going to mention but @Dashinka beat me to it Definitely get the ball rolling now and while waiting for the approval on the I-129F focus on putting together your interview requirements. Hoping for the best for you both!

    Yes we found it the same for ours! The magistrate's clerk was ear-to-ear grinning the whole time and even said that our ceremony was the highlight of their month (We got married on Oct. 25th) LOL
  18. Edward and Jaycel
    We did ours in our county court officiated by one of the magistrates. The license cost us $35 and the court fee was $100. We had 8 guests and it was a really nice ceremony. The magistrate was thoughtful in his words and made us feel really special. All-in-all the mechanics of getting the appointment for the license and the time scheduled for the ceremony took just a couple of hours of calling and emails.

    Hey all - FYI USCIS has dropped a new I-485 Form edition that is effective as of yesterday, 03/03/2025 and it looks like they provided no grace period 01/20/25. As of March 3, 2025, the currently effective version is the 01/20/25 edition. You can find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions. Dates are listed in mm/dd/yy format. If you complete and print this form to mail it, make sure that the form edition date and page numbers are visible at the bottom of all pages and that all pages are from the same form edition. If any of the form’s pages are missing or are from a different form edition, we may reject your form

    Yes definitely - It you leave the Current Household Income blank or don't provide the proof of citizenship you'll definitely get an RFE and it seems you did both. As far as the paystubs, some on this site say you really don't need to send 6 months worth of them because most paystubs have a YTD field with the income earned so far but the instructions for the I-864 specifically state 6 months and I would not take any chances on an RFE response by not following the instructions. You have one chance to respond and satisfy their request. Make sure that when you multiply the gross earnings on the paystub by the number of pay periods per year, that is the number you put into Current Household Income.
  21. Edward and Jaycel
    This is mandatory to be filled out. Take his gross earnings from his paystub and multiply it by the number of pay periods per year and put that number here. He should have ticked “No” and in the box for 2021 put N/A The instructions state to include 6 months of paystubs to support the answer in Part 6. Item 12. That’s what we did. If available then include it… the more evidence the better You need to submit a new, complete form. You can tell them in your cover letter on the RFE response that is one of the items you are including YES Proof of citizenship should have been included with the original submission and should be included in the RFE response

    Woo hoo!! Congratulations! 🎉🎉😁

    I was... It just spanned August 2022 - August 2023. I had to wait until I had hit the 1 year abroad in August of 2023 to file the 2022 return which included 4 months of that year abroad and when I filed my 2023 return i got to use the other 8 months of that year abroad in that tax year. That's how you have to do it if your year abroad doesn't go Jan 1st to December 31st.
  24. Edward and Jaycel
    I actually did file for it in 2022 & 2023 as my time abroad spanned the 2 tax years - I claimed it for 4 months in 2022 and for 8 months in 2023 I had to get an extension and couldn't file my taxes for 2022 until I had spent the full year abroad
