National Visa Center (Dept of State)Getting NVC case number

My I-30 was on approved on April 23,2012 and since than I've tried calling NVC to get my case number it they keep telling me that it's in the system yet. Can anyone please help me? I am a little worry. How long does it usually take to get case assigned after I-130 has been approved?



i wait 2 to 3 months to get my case number. But after 2 months, i already recieve it.

God bless!

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussionremoving the condition status in my GC

I-751 has provision to file from outside US for those who reside oversees pursuant to military or Government order.

 

That is ONLY when she's doing some military stuff or the government giving her some order to go there in the Philippines. As what i read on her message, she go back to the Philippines due to lack of financial support. American Embassy is so strict regarding this matter, and your reason is invalid too. For me, it is very wrong move my dear. I guess you need to start all over again,.. (correct me if i'm wrong).

Philippinesconfuse in processing k1 and k2
hi,

We are going to apply for K1 for me and of the same time k2 for my son. my son is in my paper work as k2, and follow-to-join.

and then, we dont apply it on separate paper which is I-130. We ask his attorney about this matter, and she said, as long as my son is in my paper work.. e will be noted as k2 and can join me to travel in US if an only i get approve for my k1.

Last March 16, i recieved my Case number from the embassy.
Last April 10, i pay my k1 visa application. We thought that the payment also for me and my son is only 1 cause we are in 1 document. thats why i get confuse, so i ask my fiance to call the embassy and then she said that we also pay for my son for his visa interview as k2.
So, Last April16, we pay for my son Visa application for k2.

after that, we scheduled our appointment thru online. which is May 17, 2012 ( which is so soon).
but after a few days, i do not hear any news from the embassy. So i ask my fiance again to call them, and the one who answered said that she will just send me an email application confirmation for my visa interview for me and my son and said that i will jut print it out.

i already have my Appointment confirmation they sent thru my email.

We already booked a flight and hotel in manila.

But still i'm confuse, cause they did not send me a packet thru mail box, but just an email and just print it out..

is it possible? does anyone experienced same as mine?
does anyone have not recieved a packet thru mail box? but just recieved an application confirmation from the embassy thru yahoo email??

PhilippinesThe seminar in PRISM/CFO

Hello my VJ friends!!!I just want to share with you my seminar experience at PRISM and CFO.
I attend seminar last thursday at PRISM which is located at Taft avenue,
the afternoon session start at 1:30pm it was only few people at that time.then,
the counselor start to discuss about other country cultures,immigration laws and so on
they have this packet for 150pesos it's like a Guide book,after the seminar
they call us one by one for interview with the counselor,they ask for my 2 valid ID, A photocopy of my Cenomar,NBI,Birth certificate,and my Fiance's copy of passport with stamp.
they ask my fiance's mother maiden name,the counselor will ask about it so take note of it.and some question were,how did you met?when and where?when did you met him in Person?where did he stay during he's visit here and for how long?he's education attainment
and he's job and so on...and also they ask pictures of us together during he's visit.
bring extra picture's with you for they will ask you to submit at least 2pcs. some
they ask at least 5pcs of pictures.they will include this in your file...
after the interview,We pay the counseling fee 250pesos.
they took picture of us for the Guidance @ Counseling Certificate
of Attendance.always check the spelling of your name,sometimes they type it wrong.
after that i went to Commission on Filipino Overseas(CFO)located at Osmena highway,
corner Quirino Ave.I took pedicab as driver know's where the CFO located at,pay for 30peso.
Be careful if you took taxi as they will roam you around just so you can pay more,anyway
the PRISM is not that far from CFO,when i get there the receptionist will
ask you to leave your valid ID and give you a visitor's pass.
it wasn't that much people so we get done really quick...
i submit the photocopy of my Guidance @Counseling Certificate of Attendance and pay 400pesos for the registration of CFO,they give me a Guidance and Counseling Certificate and i had
to return for my Sticker after i got my Visa hopefully... i hope this will give you a bit of information,and Good Luck on your seminar!!! God Bless...



hi, thanks for the information.. cause i really dont know what to do in CFO. i really thought i just go there and listen to what they said. LOL..
now i know they are going to interview me..

i was planning to go to CFO with my 3 year old son after i recieve my visa for K1 and K2.
last march 16, i recieved my case number from the embassy.
april 10, i pay my visa application for k1 and on april 16, i pay my son's visa application for k2.

after that, i scheduled my visa interview to the embassy on may 17 thru online schedule.

but im confuse why they have not send me a packet cause its few days past already (April 29), so i ask my fiance to call the manila embassy and the one who answer told him that they will just send an email for the appointment confirmation of schedule...

so now, i got the appointment confirmation of schedule for my visa interview and my son interview too,,

and then, my fiance is so eager to booked our flight to manila cause i am from iligan city. so he called again the manila embassy, and the one answered the call just said to print our the appointment confirmation he send and thats it. After that call, my fiance booked our flight and booked our hotel in La Corona, last april 25.

Now, my question are,

1. Is it enough that they will just send an appointment confirmation thru my email address? then print it out?
2. What is inside the packet that the embassy send to you?
3. Is it ok that we already booked our flight and hotel?
4. About my son's case, is it ok if we just go to CFO cebu to do our seminar?

i guess, thats all for the questions for now.. i hope you can help me with these matter..

thank you and GOd bless..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI have my k1 and k2 visa on hand now
This morning around 10Am, 2GO Courier text me "Your Passport will be delivered today. 2GO authorization letter and valid IDs are required if not around. Thank you".

after reading this, i am so happy and shock! i did not expect that they will delivered it to me in a short time. As what i have read on here, they said K1 and K2 will take 12 working days after my visa approved. But it only take 6 working day!

Thanks God It did not take long, and by now i am excited to my next trip to Cebu to do my counseling to the CFO.

This time, i need your help on what is the document required for k1 and k2 to do the CFO seminar? Is my 3 years old son exempted to the seminar? what is the nearest hotel to the CFO Office in Cebu?

Thank you guys for the help. I really appreciate it!

God bless us all... :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1/K2 Visa For Filipina Fiance', but don't know the father of her Daughter

Hi all,

First, thanks for all of the info people have been submitting here. I've used it extensively in preparing our visa petition. Here is where I need some educated assistance:

Background:
I-129F submitted March 2012
Fiance (K1) and 2 year old daughter (K2)

Ok, so I submitted the I-129F, and made sure that my fiance's daughter was listed. As far as her daughter is concerned, she doesn't know who the father is, and as such, no fathers name is on the birth certificate. I have two questions here.

1) What will be the affect on the K2 Visa of not knowing who the father is?
2) Will this affect the processing of the K1 Visa?

I wasn't giving this much thought until I recently brought it up and was told so many different stories, that I thought I had better bring it to this forum to get the straight answer. This is tying me in knots as I love her and her daughter so very much, and want to keep the process as uncomplicated as I can. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.



hi

, i am also a single mother.. and i have a 3 years old son.. i already finish my interview for K1 and K2 and i am APPROVED! last May 17, 2012.

The consular will not ask who is the father of the child, they will just ask, where is the father? which i answered, " I don't see his father ever since he was born". that's it..

Here is the documents you need for k1 and k2:


=====< K1 >=====

1. DS-156, DS-156K, DS-157 ( two copies of this all)
2. Passport
3. 2X2 Pictures
4. NSO Birth Certificate
5. Pictures of you and your fiancee together when you visit her in the Philippines
6. Remitances
7. Your W2 (latest)
8. Affidavit of support
9. send your taxes (latest)
10. Proof of payment ( receipt when you pay your application at BPI bank).
11. NBI Clearance
12. Certificate of no marriage (CENOMAR)


=====< K2 >======

1. DS-156, DS-157
2. Passport
3. 2x2 Pictures
4. NSO Birth certificate


Thats all.. I hope this will help..
Feel free to contact me for any information regarding your Petition.

Good luck and God bless...
