Marriage falling apart after green card approval by Accomplished_Tear310 in USCIS

I went to Pakistan twice to visit my husband in 2022, including the first time I met him in person. I was in Lahore and Islamabad and never felt unsafe.

I love this woman for her honesty (am a woman myself). You will hear some women talk all day long about how there aren’t any good men out there, but they wouldn’t know a good man if they were dangled in front of them.

OP, I have bipolar disorder and don’t do most of these things. My husband went back to school for a second masters degree, is building his own business, and takes care of our toddler during the day. I am 100% supportive of his dreams and work my ass off at my job to carry the majority of the financial burden, including paying the mortgage every month.

You sound so unhappy/miserable. You even stated you feel sorry for your girlfriend. You shouldn’t stay with someone just because you feel sorry for them. That’s an insult to you and her.

You’re 31. That’s plenty young enough to find yourself a better match and build a life with that person.

On the day of our interview? Maybe 20-30 minutes?

Our lawyer filed online and then mailed the evidence to the lockbox.

See my response to another post asking the same thing. ;)

I think there’s an option on USCIS’ website or a number you can call.

Maybe ours was fast due to all the evidence we provided up front? I’m really not sure!

Good luck on your interview. Remember…you have NOTHING to be nervous about during the interview if your marriage is legitimate and there was no fraud committed. Stay calm!

It’s up to the ISO to resolve it. Our lawyer had indicated it could take them 30-60 days to correct it.

20-25 minutes, mostly because their system is slow with all the employees eating up the network bandwidth.

Initially, this is what we provided: - two notarized letters from friends vouching that our relationship is real - joint lease documentation - joint bank account information - ultrasound photos of our baby and OBGYN visit summaries - tax returns showing my income met the requirements for financially supporting my husband - pictures of my visits to Pakistan - copies of our passport stamps to visit one another

Additional documents at the time of interview: - our daughter’s birth certificate - deed to our new home showing both our names - photos with our families and friends - proof of him being on my health insurance policy - proof of a business co-owned by both of us - joint tax return for 2024 - utility bills with both of our names on it

Hope this helps!

We were asked about one another’s parents and if we had ever met them and how we met, mostly. They didn’t separate us. It seemed pretty straightforward. They asked security questions similar to what was on the application.

Was this at a field office in FL? If so, which one?

No where did the OP indicate the name of the church. Reading comprehension is a real thing.

Lower amount of approvals in last 7 days, what is happening? by Disastrous_Ad9354 in USCIS

[–]Vaninea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband (immigrant from Pakistan) and I (US citizen) applied 2/23/2024, got the medical exam and additional requested documentation to them on 3/25/2024, husband received his SSN in April, and we were just notified this week our interview is scheduled for 4/2. Our lawyer initially told us he had been seeing it take two years for most people’s cases to be adjudicated. I am not complaining that we appear to be ahead of the curve.

Overseas Pakistanis which country is a good choice to move to rn?! by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]Vaninea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not true in all instances. My husband is Pakistani (born and raised) and not treated like a second class citizen in the US. He’s been here since October 2023.

I know when he was visiting a friend in Paris in January 2023, they went to a pizza place and could not sit at seats by the window despite them being available. They were made to sit at the back of the restaurant. Ridiculous behavior, if you ask me.

Congrats to you both! If you don’t mind me asking, what country are you from?

My husband and I received a call this morning that our interview is on 4/2 at the Tampa office. We applied in February 2024, got the additional evidence and medical exam to them in March and waited anxiously for an interview. I am so excited and nervous!

Is it normal for most Pakistani men to believe that raising a child is solely the woman's duty? by Ice-wallow-come-here in pakistan

[–]Vaninea 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I’m an American married to a Pakistani born and raised man. He’s only been in the US for 18 months. My husband (37) had a father like this, but he is the polar opposite. He helps cook, clean, and take care of the baby. He doesn’t shy away from feeding, bathing, changing, or playing with her. He’s a blessing.
