PhilippinesOur day has come!

Well, Mhay will be on her way to alaska in about 12 hours or a little less. The next day and a half will seem to take forever! I wont drive down to anchorage until tomorrow afternoon. She doesnt arrive until early sunday morning :( Oh well, I know the wait will be well worth it! At least the hotel will have dark curtains since she will be getting here about the same time the sun will be coming up and wont set for about 17 hours or more. A big change for her.



Congratulations. I hope your lady adjusts well to the new colder climate. :D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsQuestion for I-129f filers of 2009 who have NOA-2
Thanks for your replies. I spoke to another member whose case is still in initial review and his wife has been in the country for months now. I'm just curious as to reliability of the case updates. Thanks again.

P.S. Congrats Chorosizzle; You managed to pass several months of cases ahead of you to get approval. You're very fortunate.

This is a question for ONLY I-129f filers who have their NOA-2. Please don't reply unless you filed in 2009.

If you signed up for case updates on the USCIS website. Did you receive updates there before you received your hard copy in the mail? and Which service center had your case? Thank you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC phone number always busy???

The best time to call NVC is after 10pm EST. At least thats what worked for me. All the Best.
Nwanyioma


This may be of no help, but I received a letter today from NVC stating, with in one week my petition would be sent to the appropriate visa-issuing post where your interview will take place.

At USCIS I got NOA2 approval Feb26 and received hard copy from NVC today Mar8. So you may find it unnecessary to sign up for updates or contact anyone, as it will pass through rather quickly. Good luck.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsPOLICE CLEARANCE from JAPAN EMBASSy

I was in USEM this afternoon try too get a request letter for me to get police clearance in Japan embassy. I was worried because i thought they will not give me the request letter because i dont have NOA2 on my hand(my husband 4got to send it)so I went there carrying all the e-mail from the NVC. they dont ask for my NOA2. I just told them that i want a request letter for PCC in Japan. I just show all the email and she ask me if I have an e-mail from the NVC which include my name and Address. I printed my IV fee too (in case they ask for it..they get that letter together with my passport...then after 1hour I was called in window X then she gave the letter...

then I went to Japan embasy manila...(dont take Taxi)Just ride FX it only cost P15

thats it!!!

hope this will help to others who are getting police clearance from other country not only Japan..

Goodluck!!! :yes: B-)


If you haven't already done your medical, you will want to request at St. Lukes to let you keep your passport. You will need it to take back to Japan Embassy. My fiancee had to go to the USEM after St. Lukes sent her packet there, and try to request her passport. It was an unnecessary step. Good Luck.

Here's the update from my neck o' the woods:
We got married in the courthouse on Friday, a mere week after Ewan's arrival. We had to walk through a metal detector on entry, and take a number to wait for our ceremony. Three friends were in attendance (it's good that there weren't any more, because the room for the ceremony was TINY!). We waited about 45 minutes to be called, and then signed the paperwork and went to the room for the ceremony. It was short and sweet (5-10 minutes or so) which was good, because it didn't give me too much time to cry :). I was quite ill with a stomach bug the day before and the morning of the wedding, so my celebrating was curtailed a bit, but we had some cake and champagne (my friends surprised us with it) and then went out for a few pints and snacks at a local pub. Nice, quiet and chill. We're hoping to get together the AOS paperwork in the next few days (still waiting on our co-sponsor's [i.e. my dad] forms and my tax transcripts). But I'll let you know when we do, and start a thread for us to slowly transition to in the AOS forum.

Thanks to all of you - I couldn't have done it without my November family!!

P.S. I'll post some photos in a few minutes!


Congratulations Meggers. Very happy for you. :D

Thank you guys. The interview was fine. She arrived at USEM around 6:30 am and got her interview around 11:30 am. She was asked about my former marriage, my kids, when we are planning to get married etc... The consular laughed when she found out she was coming to Arkansas. Said we have a drawl (southern drawl). Some do I don't. We aren't all Hill-billies lol. Any way I'll be flying to RP (hopefully if visa arrives on time) on May17 and bringing her home May 24. My flight there I'll leave Ar. around 9:30 am mon arrive at Manila 10:30 pm Tues. :(, but Mon 24 will leave Manila at 6:30 am Mon, Arrive in Ar. 5:30pm Mon. :D

Hi guys! Yesterday we were finally reunited!!!! It is such a great thing to finally be together, and start a normal life again. :) :)

Thank you for all your nice words, I am really rooting for all of you to be here (or have your loved one here) very soon!

We will probably have a quick wedding as soon as possible and have an unofficial ceremony a bit later. I would really hate to plan something in a rush, but the health care thing is an issue for me too, so we'll make it official fast. Plus I also want to file for AOS as soon as possible, so by the time y'all get there I'll be the resident expert :)

Anwesha - I came with a round trip ticket because it was a third (!) of the price of a a one way. At POE, they didn't even look at my ticket or ask about it. The officials in Vienna did, but I explained and they understood and wished me a happy life in the US. :)

On the customs form upon entering, I declared my personal stuff (clothes, electronics, etc), as they specifically ask about artifacts that will stay in the US. There was no problem with it, but the customs official did not seem to understand why I checked it. (I did just to make sure there will be no issues with it.) Then again, they were preoccupied with my handful of dogfood.


Happy news :D and thanks for the helpful info.

I am sitting in the historic city of Budapest on the terrace of my favorite coffee place (right across the square from the US embassy), enjoying the beautiful spring weather and writing to y'all:

I GOT APPROVED! VISA IN HAND TOMORROW!!!!!!!

The interview itself was short, but lots of question mainly about my fiance. Where was he born, what does his father do, where has he lived, what were his jobs, where did we meet, where is the wedding, etc. She also asked me where one of the pictures we included in the original packet was taken (I guess to test me, as it was printed on the back.) So nothing hard, nobody has anything to worry about.

Can't stop smiling, people around me think I'm crazy :)

So come on everybody we'll all be over this is no time! Thanks for the support again, to quote Mrs. Dog, I don't know how people go through this process without VJ...

I think you must be one of the only people who's tried to get an automated message and got a human rather than the other way round!! One of the pinned topics in the NVC forum explains the options to press. I'm going to give it a week before I call - technically they say 2 weeks but things seem to be going faster at the moment.

I really want to start planning but I am unsure till the interview is all done, that being said when we could get hitched will fall right during high season and getting a date is going to be murder for getting a place quickly. X fingers would like June 17th 2010, I woke up one morning with that date in my head for some reason. :innocent:


I think if wait until you know when your interview date is, you could probably set a date. What ever date you choose. Make sure it fits into that 3 month window you have to get married.

I'm soooo getting worried, as i look everyday on the board and i see that people send soooo many proofs to the USCIS for the petition... We only sent 2 pictures that we printed from the computer, one itinary printed from my emails of one of my trips to Dallas (round-trip), and a photocopy of our receipts when we bougt sunglasses together (2 receipts, using our own credit card, so it's showing both names, from the same store at the same time). And, when we sent our package, we didn't know about VisaJourney forum, so our question 18b is not on a seperate page, it's in the little box they gave us to write the answer in on the form.
Are we most likely to get an RFE or a denial???

And, we forgot to make copies of the package, do i need copies of it for the interview or something?

OMG everyday i'm getting even more worried...

(I'm writing it here because i'm a november filer that follows this thread everyday)


I've heard of others getting approved with less. I may be wrong, but I think sending a bunch of proof, really aids in the interview. I don't know but good luck.

Mr. Jess has requested his financial info from the various places to time how long it takes to get them all - nothing seems to take too long so he's just going to request fresh up-to-date copies of everything as soon as our NOA2 hits.


Good idea :).

- He has all of the letters I've sent to him (he's never sent any to me *cough-douche*), so I'll encourage him to take those, too.

Well it finally seems there is some forward momentum. So now it's just to wait. So in the mean time, what have you been doing to be prepared to show proof of on-going relationship during the US embassy interview?

I've sent her a letter a week, and I save all the letters she's sent to me.
I have chat logs, emails, and have phone records (I call twice a day).
I have a duplicate copy of the entire I-129f packet I sent to (boo) VSC (boo).
I have printed out as many forms as I can to send her.
I have a stack of pictures I took when I visited her in Phil.

Question:
Will you have new passport photos taken to send before the interview or just send more copies of the ones you have now?
