PhilippinesHELP!! - Manila, Philippines DS-230 or DS-260????

Hello Hank,

 

First let me say that if anyone ever asked if you ever changed a life in a positive way, you are one man that can honestly reply back " in more ways than I can count "

 

On behalf of a whole lot of people on this site, I say thank you.

 

Here is where I am getting confused Hank, let me say this, I am a very black and white type personality.

 

So when I read the following : "The Immigrant Visa Unit only accepts K visa applicants (K1, K2, K3, and K4) who have completed DS-156, DS-156K (for K1 applicants only), DS-157, and DS-230 application forms."

 

I read it as this, since you are going to the interview WITH completed DS-156, DS-156K, DS-157, and DS-230, then you are required to complete the DS-260.

 

You see it does not say anything like if they have been completed, received, and filed prior to the date of your interview.

 

See where my confusion is coming in?

 

hey..i told u..why keep u confusing yourself... ive been to the latest interview.,....dont stress yourself... they only need DS156..DS157 and DS156K...
 


they dont even need the DS230!!!!!!

PhilippinesHELP!! - Manila, Philippines DS-230 or DS-260????

Hello All,

 

I really need some help here.

 

Here is where I am at.

 

My I-129F petition has been approved (08/26), sent to NVC (08/27), MNL number issued (09/05), sent to Embassy in Manila (09/06), received by Embassy in Manila (09/09), Embassy appointment has been schedule on line for 10/28.

 

Here is where I am confused, will she (beneficiarry) receive any type of correspondence on her side as to the required documents to present at the appointment.

 

I right on that line of the Sept 01 change from DS-230 to DS-260, so I do not know what to do related to that document.

 

My MNL number was issued on Sept. 05.

 

Any help is greatly appriciated.

 

 

hi..based on my interview last sept. 11... they only need ds56, 157 and 156k... thats all...

 

Thank you.

Philippines2go website...my visa is already to pick up!!!!

2GO just said "In-transit" then Shipment accepted by customer then back to In-transit.  Ustraveldocs switched to "out for delivery."  Mind you, there were results the last three weeks at these sites (interview approved 8/27), but CEAC has been there with Ready, AP, Issued for the last few days.  Then got an email from ustraveldocs that the packet is being delivered.

 

Hope we'll be right there behind you guys.

 

hang on... yours is coming... :)

Amy originally is, yes. But I'm not, I meant my family and friends won't be flying to the US in May. I'm British and have been all my life (so far).

 

so amy is the petitioner... ahh ok..  my fiancee is from michigan...thats why i ask :)


Steve&RoiFemalePhilippines2013-08-27 10:41:00

We were planning it for May but now where Amy's family aren't coming down from Michigan and my family won't be going either, we're having two receptions on each side of the Atlantic. So we may cancel the part of the park we had booked for the wedding ceremony in May, or use it for a photoshoot instead. But other than that, I don't have anything else to tie up.

 

wait ur from Michigan?

little update on my group,

 

one in my group received RFE on June 20, 2013 and now her case is Response review since August 26, so i think Vermont is starting to touch the remaining May Filer.  I think his/her A# is May 31, 2013.


 

Good luck! you will be approved for sure.


 

Belated happy birthday!!



 

thank you... your Noa2 is coming for sure :)

Might be a better idea to check with the Philippines forum as to whether this is good or not in all honesty because the requirements vary from embassy to embassy (for example, Nurseling and myself won't generally need proof of relationship evidence in London whereas you need it in Manila).

 

its ok Ryan&amy... its a may filer forum... and theirs a lot also of may filer that the consulate is in the Philippines... im comfortable with this forum.. hehehe question are answered... this is the only forum i follow..hehehe


Steve&RoiFemalePhilippines2013-08-25 11:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsMay 2013 filers

Yes it's best to do it like a story cos if you do end up with a interview that's strict at least they can see the whole history and everything is explained. I am sure you will do great at the interview. Your visa will be in your hand in no time.

 

thank you.. GOd's Grace.. im still login in VJ all the time to help someone who needs my help to the best of my knowledge and experienced... hehehe.. i will update everyone in my visa journey... Lets stay positive and keep praying... everything and everyone of us has its own perfect time..... Godbless us all... :)

That's very organised of you. I couldn't have done it better myself. You have added everything I thought to add. I can't think of anything else to add. Others might have something to add but I think this perfect exactly all the information I have put in mine.

 

awe...thank you.. every page i put a letter tabbings...while in proof of genuine relationship i put some caption..its like ur telling a story.. hehehe.. i like this part,,, ur like doing a scrapbook...hehehe...

I check several times a day. Including the USCIS android app on my phone which I have set to auto refresh every 15mins. rofl.gif 

Our RFE went back in the first mail pickup on Tuesday (20th)  so hopefully we will get notification that they have received it on Monday and that would be a great birthday present for me. Keep your hopes up everyone

 

 Happy Birthday :) in advance Ozgirl :)

The consulate do not question this. They may ask what you work as but it is not part of the requirements to go digging up certificates. You could all but be unemployed for all they care. There main concern is that you don't become a public charge once you get to America. Hence the reason for I-134 and supporting documents. No need to worry about your certificates.

 

thank you nurseling...  :)
