Salaam,

Your fiance has to do most of the work at this point. He has
to file the paperwork with the USCIS to get the ball rolling.

June will
be a little ambitious for a wedding date. I would not plan anything
until the visa is in your hands, personally. Even under the best of
circumstances you're looking at 7+ months. There are many variable,
e.g., which service center your fiance has to file through (Vermont =
fast, Texas = slow), etc...

Good plan, though, to have him there for
the interview. However, I'd search this site for K1 and Islamabad first
to see if visas are issued the same day there. I have a hunch they
aren't. So, depending on how long that takes, your fiance and you might
have some time to kill before being able to fly to the States.

Hope
this gives you some thoughts for how to start.

Khadijah

Though my husband is from Ireland rather than Islamabad, we did exactly
what you're talking about. We married here in Ireland, then I came back
here to wait with him while his visa application is in process.

First
check to see if your husband can Direct Consular File (DCF) from
Islamabad rather than apply for a K3... that would be the fastest if
it's possible. It wasn't for me (I was not a resident of Ireland in the
minds of the US govt. as I had not been here long enough, was not
established here).

Then read everything everything about the process,
starting with the FAQ on this website. This will answer most of your


Bear in mind that it takes longer than you think (we were married in
September) especially if you have to send things to the service centers
from a foreign country. I'm on a leave of absence from work and the
money is tight, but waiting with my husband was the right decision for
us.

Good luck!
