Information required from all those persons who are familiar with USA

Dear All!
Greetings from Lahore!
Sir I am attach with an NGO working on social development, in 2010 I applied in University of California for one month long course, luckily I got scholarship, so I applied for visa for one month in which I mentioned the dates. Unfortunately US Embassy called me for visa at that time when course was near to end, they give me multiple visa (5 years) under the category of B1/B2 Visa, it will expire in 2014.
Sir now I need guidance and suggestions about following questions.
1. Can I go USA on that visa without any invitation?
2. Can I stay there, if yes for how long I can stay there..?
3. Can I work there on that B1/B2 visa.
4. Can I further study there in my field on that visa..?
5. I don’t have any relative and friend there, for initial few weeks where I should stay..? (hotel, hostel and paid compartment) and which one low cost and what exactly..?
Yours answer would be helpful for me to select the future way.
Actually I want to live there, can I find some reasonable job there

MJM Dammam replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 01:24 PM PST 

@Sameer Ali
I have answers for some of your questions, since I have visited USA couple of times on B1/B2 visa.
1. Yes - you can visit USA on B1/B2 visa, since it is visitor's visa.
2. When you will arrive there, the immigration officer at the airport will stamp your passport after brief interview / questions for maximum six month stay in the USA.
3. You cannot work on B1/B2 visa. Work is only allowed on H1 visa.
4. You cannot study there in your field on B1/B2 visa.
For answer to your question 5 someone will give you a satisfactory response.
Good luck for your ambitions!

qs. replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 02:00 PM PST 

Further to Sameer's question, I also have a question:

A short course can still be attended on a B1/B2 visa?

Adnan replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 03:02 PM PST 

the cheapest to stay is a youth hostel or a motel, but a motel will be usually in suburbs and transportation will be a problem as public transport is practically non existant in US except for a few major cities like NY, Washington and Atlanta. You can also surf on the net and you will find a paying guest type single room arrangement with some family who wants to make some quick bucks, that is quite common nowadays, just search for "bed & breakfast" and you will find plenty of family room options.

Adeel replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 07:47 PM PST 

Though you can go there, but my advise would be not to go there just for hack of it. Try to fetch another scholarship course with your talent and go with some purpose.
The immigration officer at airport is empowered to ask you about why you are there and who has invited you? So try getting some invitation letter to show at airport and satisfy them if asked.
For cheap living try airbnb website.

Ahamed replied on Wednesday, June 6, 2012 12:08 PM PST 

Apply at the same University again explaining you could not attend the course due to delay in the visa.

Lets look at the recent history of Phase 9 file, it goes up 5 or 6 lacs in a month, comes back down for a few weeks, but never at the start level, only about 3 to 4 lacs. Then goes back up again 5 or 6 lacs. This time, it will cross 30 lacs, will probably come down after Eid but never below 25 - 26 lacs. And then, if suddenly there is a ballot announcement, which i expect to be sometimes later this year (based on DHA ballot and development record of one phase every 3 years), the DHA 9 file will cross 40 lacs before the end of the year. If you are a small time investor looking for short term gains, the time has come and gone already for you. If you are a big investor or someone like me who is willing to hold on for a few years, there will be no better time than today to buy Phase 9. This is only my humble opinion, God bless us all.

Bank loan for house construction in Bahria Town

AoA,

Can anybody on this forum kindly inform me that do the banks provide loans for house construction in private housing schemes like Bahria Town. Answer to this querry will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 05:35 PM PST 

YES.

jk replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 05:57 PM PST 

once I had a loan from bank 20 lacs and was calculated to pay 27 thousand per month I paid for 29 months and then went to find out the balance and was informed you are paying the interest and Rs. 20 lacs stand as it is. Make sure you fully understand what is the deal.

Similarly I had some experience of borrowing some money from HBFC and I was paying every month and paid for 2 years and when went to settle the account I paid 1.3 time what I own from HSBC.

Remember they will have your plot registry in their name when give you money and you have no choice but to go as per their desire. My suggestion is never ever borrow from bank it is not like mortgaging in world. Find some other way out OR make as you earn.

Ejaz_EJŪ replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 06:00 PM PST 

JK is saying very true, banks will just squeez you...,
choice is yours.

dxb replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 09:00 PM PST 

you may choose to have personal loan instead of loan againts property. But the amount will be less and for shorter period of time.

MAV replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 11:28 PM PST 

Avoid Banks for constructions of house....if you cant, then you can go to Alabaraka Bank, cavalry branch. I borrowed from them but returned after one year as long as i had money.

M.S. replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 12:54 PM PST 

Thanks everybody for providing me the information and sharing your experiences.

Jameel replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 03:24 PM PST 

To buy a a house on Bank installment or HBFC is not a good idea , the interest will be too Much, this option is used by people who have done almost every thing but they are short in money at the end and few Lacs help them to finish the house and shift, I am sure you understaffed difference in 3.5% interest in USA and 17% interest in Pakistan.
For the people who dont have resources and want to make house the way is
Buy cheap Land with savings, when area gets populated You start making bit by bit and get small loan which enables you to make only necessary structure, then you shift and rest of finishing which is usually more expensive than structure is done slowly. Till house is completed in many years.
This is only strategy for people who dont have big resources, it is the "Desi" way of surviving,

adeel replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 03:26 PM PST 

good piece of advises by friends,all the banks of the world coming to pakistan,interest rates are toooooo high and they will give the loan on there terms they cannot make such profits as they are making in pakistan a friend of mine working in bank told me for my self if i have to take the loan on the same terms ,iwill never take it on these terms and conditions so you can imagine state of affairs,mooooost important thing is it is haram sooood wage a war against allah and its prophet.
so please keep away.you will loose any way

Query About residential plot in Lahore

I would be highly grateful, if someone advise me, I want to buy plot in good housing scheme. I am a salaried employee can invest 25,000/- per month.

I need 5,7 or 10 Marla plot in housing scheme.

Thanks

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 04:00 PM PST 

Dear WAQAR,
It is good that you are thinking to have a plot for your family in some good housing scheme of Lahore. As per your monthly savings, you can only go for some scheme which introduces plots on installments. For any reliable housing project in Lahore you needed AT LEAST following amounts:
Advance or Down payment: Rs.400,000/=
Monthly amount for installment: RS.70,000/=

As per your present situation it seems very difficult but it is not impossible. Please keep dreaming and trying your best to save more funds. I assure you brother that you will find some solution.
I have passed through same process and by the grace of Allah I was able to have my dream home in Bahria Town.
GOOD LUCK.

Khan replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 07:05 PM PST 

Mr.Hussain. I regularly read your posts. You are such a rare species and blessed with so much of positive mind that I wish and pray Allah that if there were just a few thousand like you in us, we would be a different nation. May Allah bless you and keep spreading optimism .

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 07:19 PM PST 

@Khan
I am really impressed by you as you have great sense of appreciation. Very much obliged for your wishes and prayers. I wish the same for you.

Overseas replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 10:13 AM PST 

Mr.Hussain,
I have 35 lacs and want to invest for short term 1-2 year can you suggest some good options.

thanks,

Headliner replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 02:01 PM PST 

Go for Dream Garden Located on Main Defence Road opposite Comsat u can get a plot on installment in your budget

Hussain Kaisrani replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 03:18 PM PST 

@Overseas,
In real estate investment short term means (three years) because when one buys a plot the cost goes significantly up on the same day from the market rate. Reason is that a buyer spends lot of time and money to finalize the deal. This extra spending (commission, tax and
transfer fee etc) are generally not covered within a year. If you can afford to wait till three years then any ON GROUND (physically existing) and good location plot in Bahria Town will give you a reasonable profit. Thanks.

Bahria Enclave - is it a good choice comparing to DHA II and Zone II societies for living?

If yes, is it a good time to buy a plot there?

Innocent_Investor replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 01:44 AM PST 

Bahria Enclave is much better than DHA and Zone II.

Once possession is available .. you will see its worth more than these two

jk replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 03:27 AM PST 

Bharia Enclave is isolated society and is not big enough on its own and neither have much high profile societies around therefore Daily ammonites can not be expected here. Mostly low profile and less developed villages are around and I don't see it a good area for living.Bharia might develop it well enough but can never be ideal for many year unless the whole area does not get developed.

OLDFELLOW replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 05:38 PM PST 

JK PLZ BROAD UR VISION IF YOU ARE IN REAL ESTATE BIZNAS OR INVESTOR AND TRY TO LEARN FROM OBSERVATIONS ONLY IF YOUR NEW.NO MATTER ITS BAHRIA OR ANY PLASE IT ALWAYS PAY YOU BY THE TIME AND WHEN BTOWN NAMES KOME THAT MEANS DELIVERANSE.BAHRIA ENV IS ON A FAR FAR BETTER PLASE THEN ANY OF ITS PHASES IN ISB,JUST WAIT 5 YEARS AND THEN YOU LL DREAM TO LIVE THERE.

ok replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 05:43 PM PST 

hmm... i don't agree with JK's comments ... as what he is saying will be a good point for Bahria enclave because if it is not surrounded by more housing socities then there will be less traffic from bahria enclave to reach main islamabad ... and also bahria enclave is much closer to to main islamabad than DHA and Zone2

ZNS replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 09:05 PM PST 

Bahria Enclave will turn out to be one of the best places to live. I am not a dealer or an investor but I do own 10 Marla there. I have see the area and development myself and truly believe that it was a right decision to put my money. Although I was skeptical when I applied since I live out of Pakistan but after 2 visits I by the grace of All might of the opinion that it was the right decision. Rest is on HIM as no one can predict the future.

Mux replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 10:45 PM PST 

The only drawback is its a secluded and remote place. although they r building expressway but it is still far, near jigyot surrounded by villages.

Do u not think when Dha II and its extension is completed and phase 8 comes up, the south of islamabad will be a great place with very well managed societies.

10 yrs from now, which would be the prime place, DHA II or Bahria Enclave coz i have shortlisted these two to build a home

ZNS replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 11:11 PM PST 

It's personal preference, if have job in Islamabad or want to have a business in Islamabad then BE., if you want to closer Pindi, you have business there the. DHA-2. Try Bharia phase 7 & 8 also. It's nice too.

ZA replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 03:23 AM PST 

BE is going up and just because of BE the
prices of BK Navel Farms are also going up.

soon you will see more projects of Bahria around BE and it will become a very nice and high value locality.

AltaVista replied on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 06:35 PM PST 

But the current
prices are artificially increased by bahria. You can get plots at cheaper rate on old booking which is much more developed.

Also, they have revised the map for the 3rd time in less than a year. Few streets of kanal plots are changed and whole of 5,8,10 marla plots are coming to further east instead of northern side where they initially seemed to be planned.

Arshad replied on Wednesday, June 6, 2012 01:43 PM PST 

What are the current
prices now and please upload the new map if you have it. Thanks

RA replied on Friday, June 8, 2012 05:40 PM PST 

Is there any potential risks in investing in Bahria after the latest scandal?

please help.

Aslam o Alekom

Brothers I have a technical question if someone can help I will be grateful.
10 years back I bought a 10 marla house in Lahore cantonment area with house building finance corporation. I paid all dues and installments and now I have the registry with me.
During the process HDFC guys told me that it should be co-ownership with someone who is in Pakistan as I was in Saudia at that time. So the ownership of the house was put on my brother and my name.

Now I need to transfer other half also to my name. what is the process for that ? what type of fees are there to be paid? Should I peruse it myself or some lawyers help will be required.
I will be really thankful if brothers can give some information regarding this issue.

Habib replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 02:50 PM PST 

Your Brother is owner of 1/2 House You will have to get registered to Your name it will cost you a lot but better fix is today than Later, Discuss with some lawyer there is some way to tarnsfer land to Family members at lesser Cost, Father can do that to sons and daughters but I am not sure about brother, Plain stamp paper with affidavit also called Memorundom of understanding also called Biana Paper will cost you only 200 Rs but have no legal value..

A wellwisher replied on Monday, June 4, 2012 07:10 PM PST 

one way is to take a power of attorney from your brother, however, if God forbid something happens to you, that POA will be nullified, and your brother will be able to claim his share from your family. Therefore, if you want to sell the house, take POA. If you want to keep the house, your brother has to sell his share to you with new registration and you have to pay the registry charges plus VAT and so on. As Mr. Habib suggested, you better do it now than later.
