you were put on AP??? Why?? We're not a muslim country... just wondering. I'm from Philippines too.

I DONT THINK SHE WAS ASKING A QUESTION...AND ITS PRETTY CLEAR (LOOK ABOVE) THAT SHE WAS WONDERING WHY HER FELLOW FILIPINA WAS PUT ON AP WHEN SHE CLEARLY SAID THAT A.) MUSLIM COUNTRIES GET APS AND B.) THE PHILIPPINES IS NOT A MUSLIM COUNTRY SO WHY GET AN AP. MORE IMPORTANTLY, SHE ALSO JUST JUMPED TO THE CONCLUSION THAT APS ARE JUST FOR MUSLIMS...

Taj's american wife why the offensive response? is it more common in MENA countries than Phillipines to be into AP?maybe that is why she asked.. at least that is what it seems like to me in my frequent visits reading in the forum.. In no way does that constitute a negative picture in my mind about MENA countries... EVER!! Instead of assuming that offensive stance why not educate? isn't that why we are here?

Taj and tngirl , both answeres were not nice really
first not only Muslims go on AP ..everyoe can and i saw examples in many countires ..specially high fraud ones .filip , india , pakistan and nigeria is one of them ...thts according to many articles everywhere ...and thts why no DV visa`s for such countries ...so not only muslims ..lets say ALOT for muslims ..but still applied for everyone else ...

beside tngirl didnt mean this i guess ..so the Taj response may be a little hard ..im sure Tngirl didnt mean so ...
cool up guys .

Well i have personaly contacted USICS about DV visa`s why not in PAKISTAN or INDIA they said bcz in those countries many ppl comes to USA and this offer is only for those countries where ppl donot comes to america allot and let me tell you one thing I M LIVING IN SAUDI ARABIAFOR 18 YEARS I KNOW ARABIAN MUCH BETTER AND MOSTLY ( EGYPTIANS ) who got married to US CITIZEN they disapeard after getting GREEN CARD or CITIZENSHIP .im sorry but its 95% TRUTH.

Thanks

well are you going to do the same? are you one of the 95% because i can bet my life that my husband will not dissapear after he gets his greencard

OKAY well now she knows that its not only muslim countries that get AP's. i guess we educated her in that department. for the next time, before she or anyone else

say something, why not educate oneself first right? in my personal opinion, i think she was insensitive to all us citizens married to muslims....its like saying "oh im not

muslim, oh im not from a muslim country, why should i be on AP"...isnt that exactly how she was saying it? VERY IGNORANT...and selfish to say something and

presume that "she will have a very smooth ride in her visa because she is not muslim and she is not from a muslim country, she wont be on AP on this journey".

im not trying to put a fight here but you dont get anywhere if u just play goody two shoes with people who are ignorant, insensitive and selfish.

Hi everyone! on sept. 25, my husband will have his interview at the embassy in manila! he just passed his medical exam at saint lukes and really very happy and thankful for that. anyway, just a question: last year i did not make enough to meet the poverty level because i just got out of school in may 2008 and started working in august 2008. i was only working as a nursing assistant too and only part time but if you total up the annual income it goes over the 125% above poverty requirement. so when it was time to do our affidavit of support, i just got an employment letter stating my annual income. it was accepted and we had no problem with that in NVC. anyway for the whole month of july i went home and left my job because i was gone for about 5 weeks. i came back in august and got a new job and got hired on aug 24, 2009. this time, i am working as a registered nurse and full time because i passed my boards. I asked for my hire letter and they did give it to me. It stated they are offering my a job as a full time nurse with $XX amount per hour (of course my salary almost tripled) but it is contigent upon my CORI check and license verification. anyway i am on my third week of work this week and hopefully in time for my husband's interview i will be able to scan my paycheck and send it to him.
i stated in my letter to NVC with the I 184 that i just started working in aug 2008 thats why income in my w2 form only came up to about 10k for the year 2008.

my question is do i have to make a letter stating this whole story to the consul or can my husband just explain it? we have all the supporting documents anyway... intterview is two weeks, do i have to send a signed original paper? ugh, il have to send it priority!

what other things can people advice...documents etc...

TAX RETURN QUESTIONS AT THE INTERVIEW

HI ITS ME AGAIN, JUST LAST MINUTE JIGGLES!

DOES THE CO USUALLY ASK FOR THE TAX RETURN COPY? I ONLY GAVE MY HUSBAND A COPY OF MY 1040EZ (THE FEDERAL TAX RETURNS) AND A COPY OF THE REFUND CHECK THAT WE GOT BECAUSE WE FILED MARRIED FILLING JOINTLY.

MY COUSIN WHO DID OUR TAXES TAKES A MILLION YEARS TO REPLY TO MY EMAILS AND ONLY FORWARDED A COPY OF THE 1040EZ THROUGH PDF TO MY EMAIL SO MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO PRINT IT OUT. WILL THAT BE SUFFICIENT? OUR INTERVIEW IS IN TWO DAYS AND MY HUSBAND IS GOING TO MANILA ON THURSDAY TO INTERVIEW ON FRIDAY MORNING. WILL THEY ASK FOR THE STATE RETURN? WILL WE BE DENIED OR ASKED TO COME BACK BECAUSE WE DONT HAVE OUT COPY? I MEAN OBVIOUSLY WE FILED FOR BOTH OTHERWISE WE WOULDNT GET THE FEDERAL REFUND RIGHT? I REALLY DONT WANNA BUG MY COUSIN ABOUT IT...I HOPE IT WILL BE ALRIGHT!

TO: TAHOMA: congrats to your wife on passing her nclex. i am a nurse myself, i passed last june and i am working now on a respiratory unit. new to work, over a month now...and loving it! thank you for your encouragement. i will get the number from my husband and ask them on monday right away!....

yeah that was the last question...he had a feeling that time that something was wrong. the consul said your documents are fine but we need to do further processing. they just kept his passport, they didn't even ask if my husband was going to travel in the near future...i mean he isnt but the consul could have asked what his flying plans are. but thats the only thing that i am optimistic about as i said earlier. i think they asked unnecessary questions and if i was there i would have made that consul piss in his pants...sorry im just so angry and sad...this is the saddest birthday ever...

WE ARE ON ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW. MY HUSBAND GOT THE WHITE SLIP. I AM SO SAD AND BEEN CRYING ALL NIGHT. TODAY WAS MY BIRTHDAY AND EVEN THE CONSUL KNEW IT. THEY DIDNT EVEN LOOK AT MY HUSBANDS DOCUMENTS, ALL THOSE THINGS I ASKED HIM TO BRING. THEY JUST WANTED TO SEE PHOTOS OF US. EVEN THE POLICE CLEARANCE THAT WE WERE REQUIRED TO BRING AGAIN TO THE INTERVIEW (THE PAKISTAN POLICE CLEARANCE). HE SAID OUR DOCUMENTS WERE FINE AND THEY WERE COMPLETE.
HE SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO CHECK FURTHER SOME THINGS WHEN HE ASKED MY HUSBAND HOW OFTEN HE GOES BACK HOME TO PAKISTAN ( MY HUSBAND SAID EVERY YEAR FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS DURING SUMMER VACATION WHEN I AM OFF SCHOOL TO VISIT MY PARENTS). I WISH I WAS THERE AT THE INTERVIEW. BECAUSE WHEN HE SAID ALL YOUR DOCUMENTS ARE FINE THEN I WOULD HAVE SAID THEN WHERE THE HELL IS OUR VISA?
THE ONLY THING THAT IS OPTIMISTIC IN OUR CASE IS THAT THEY KEPT MY HUSBANDS PASSPORT AND THAT THEY TOOK HIS NAME, ADDRESS, EMAIL AND PHONE NUMBER SO THAT THEY CAN CONTACT HIM WHEN THEY SEND THE VISA.
HOW LONG IS THIS AND WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

(OUR STORY: MY HUSBAND IS FROM PAKISTAN AND BUT HE HAS BEEN LIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES FOR 6 YEARS NOW. HE IS A MEDICAL DOCTOR STUDYING FOR HIS BOARDS TO PRACTICE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
