I did it for my husband. If the PD is current, you will get packet 3 and packet 4.

packet 3 is ds230 form and packet 4 is appmt letter and medical examination.

which consulate are you logged at ?

Check your Inbox.

Also, normally it takes 3-6 months to go through FTJ process.

so it could be long..... :( i thought it was gonna be soon bacause we got approval letter already..just sad.. maybe it will all be done this yr...just scared coz there are rumors that the visa for sched a and their fmas will run out the end of this year and then backlogged again..... :confused:
 
“Kamrans” pointed out correctly that your future spouse won’t be eligible for FTJ benefit.

Spouse needs to apply in family category (F-2A), and check following link for wait in that category:

When they open up a case they send you packet 3.5. As soon as you send it back to them with all the requirements they usually arrange the interview within 2-3 months.


My lawyer had filed I-824. so on its approval Paket 3 will be sent to him?

No this never happened in Pakistan. Indian nationals are fortunate that they get packet 3.5 within two weeks of the approval but I got mine after 5 months after repeated requests from the embassy. So you need to send them the required documents to get the case number and packet 3.5.

Any other usefull info about Islamabad embassy like E-mail address etc and do they reply?

Yes they always reply. Be precise in email and ask them whatever questions you have but dont bug them too much. They get irritated pretty soon and then you will get irritated for long.

Good Luck.
 
anybody done this

us emabassy in my country just wants everything faxed to them. i-824 apprval letter and copy of my green card...will they act on a faxed message.
 
If they want to deny they can deny anything. If they are asking then go ahead and fax them.
I would rather send everything through FedEx. This is something that you can track and a little more reliable.

Good Luck.

Packet 3 Forms Questions

My wife got the packet 3 forms from chennai consulate. We have few questions and would like to have your advice on this.
1)Based on the instructions, We are thinking to send back only DS 230 Part 1, Readiness document and DS 2001(instructions). Is it correct?

2)But in the Instructions,Form DS-2000 has been mentioned in enclosures section as "DS-2000, Evidence Which May be Presented to Meet the Public Charge Provision of the Law.". Do we need to send anything for this? By the way, What does DS-2000 mean? is it Affidavit I-864 or I 134?

3)Reg POLICE CERTIFICATES, My wife has been stayed in 4 places after her 16. Does she need to get PCC from all the 4 places in addition to Passport office? Do we have any standard forms for this?

Advance thanks for your help.

No. Send the whole DS230 part I and II both. parth two requires signature and some other information.

2)But in the Instructions,Form DS-2000 has been mentioned in enclosures section as "DS-2000, Evidence Which May be Presented to Meet the Public Charge Provision of the Law.". Do we need to send anything for this? By the way, What does DS-2000 mean? is it Affidavit I-864 or I 134?

I dont think its related to you. Never heard of it. Send only I-134 that would be enough. Check this for more information.

3)Reg POLICE CERTIFICATES, My wife has been stayed in 4 places after her 16. Does she need to get PCC from all the 4 places in addition to Passport office? Do we have any standard forms for this?

The police certificate from the last place would be enough where she stayed for more than 6 months.


Advance thanks for your help.

The visa will be issued under the same category as yours. For example if you are EB3 then she will get EB3 visa and yes you have to wait for the PD to get current in that category.
Also I would like to know , since I got my GC and completed more 6 months with my employer, it If I Change the employer or client it will affect for my wife's visa.

This is just a fear from some to the guys. I changed mine and never had any problem. But its always safe to be with same employer until you get the GC and your wife gets the visa.

Please advice me.
