hey guys any updates ,looks like embassy is delaying every thing for Christmas.3rd month in AP

FOR ANY ONE WHO HAS BEEN ISSUED k1 visa.When they see the CEAC website which states 'issued'

whats the next step, is embassy send call/email the petitioner to pick the PASSPORT or they send by post to the applicant.or call him/her to collect from islamabad embassy.

Also what docs u need to bring to the embassy toget the passport once its issued.

i am just wandering how it gonna work once status its issued .

We're currently waiting for our interview date to be issued by the NVC in ISLAMABAD. the 4 week deadline ended today so, I'm hoping we will hear something next week. I know the NVC isn't the fastest organization in terms of Immigration as, they have proved it to us time and time again. Does anyone know what to expect or how things work once we get the interview.

Alhamdulilah.

Finally, I have my visa on hand after 2 years of process

But i would like to ask you, there is instruction letter with visa packet which says you have to pay GC (Green Card) fee before you depart to USA.

CAN I PAY THE GREEN CARD FEE LATER WHEN I COME USA? Your experience? Please.

The Department of State website says you must pay before you depart to USA but the USCIS website says you can pay after you enter the USA. The money must be paid with US dollars by credit/debit card or personal check. No green card will be produced until the fee is paid. When my husband got his visa I paid the fee for him before he left Pakistan. Anyone in the USA can pay the fee for you. They need your A-number from the visa and your DOS case number.

Thanks bro.

CEAC showed ISSUED on 15 Dec, but my date of issue on the visa shows 14 dec.

as i undertood when CEAC shows ISSUED. Your visa is printed already and ready to deliver.

It took 4 working days when the American express office in karachi called me.

You dont need to go to embassy but they send your visa via American express and it will deliver the city where you live which you already told them at the day of your interview.

when american express office recieve your visa from embassy they call you right away. example. they asked us me to come and pick the visa. when i come at thier office they said you have to pay 800 rupees which i undertood it was delivery charges.

Thats it.

I hope USCIS is right. I saw some forums which some people say. it depends on you. if you want to pay before or and after. but when you come in USA. they will not produce your GC until they recieve this fee.

let me ask you one Question. my visa class was CR1 but The current visa class printed on VISa is IR1. does it mean i will get 10 years GC?

Yes you will get a 10 year green card. You have been married for 2 years when you land in the USA.
