im doing my medical on the 17th, how bout ur family?
when r they getting theire medical?



My wife called NVC awhile ago. She was told that there's a good possibility that our case will be completed this week and still make a July interview. Thank you Lord.

i believe their case will be completed this week or next week and still get July interview..



That would be nice. We're kind of worried about not getting a July interview. If we do get it,,i guess it will be the 3rd week. Good thing i didn't purchase my airline ticket yet. I was planning to go home 1st week of July. Thanks

im sure they will get July interview..as long as their case gets completed until next week coz they said they're scheduling 2nd week of the month for the next month..

Hi there,

I am also from the Philippines. I hope you can post your time line here for everybody to see. And also for us to see if if your time line is just within the time line given by the USCIS. We would really appreciate it coz by then your time line will give us more hope.

Thank you. Good luck to your wife's coming interview.

As a CR-1 applicant you will receive only 1 package from Manila consulate. It will have all the details about where to do Medical and also what all you will need to bring for your interview.

Packet 3 and 4 are usually for people going through k-3 or k-1 visa.

so i will receive another packet from embassy aside from the intereview appointment letter i received in my email from NVC?

If baby is flying in your lap you can not bring the additional luggage, if baby is flying in a paid seat then you can bring the additional luggage.

It depends coz i have the baby in my lap and i have 2 carry on baggage with me.


With baby in your lap, you didn't pay for baby to have a seat so baby can't bring checked-in bags. Each "paying" customer gets to bring 2 checked-in pieces of 50 pounds each. I don't think the OP is asking about carry-on bags.

i just read about the additional luggage,i dont know if its a check in luggage or carry on..as long as it wont exceed 7 kilos..
can someone clarify it?
if its check in or carry on for the additional luggage for the baby....

I have the following that i am planning on sending it with my I-864 packet - Please let me know if i am missing something.


? I-864 Coversheet (with barcode)
? Form I-864 (Signed and dated)
? 2008 Joint Federal Tax Return, W2 and 1099INT - 2008 Tax Transcript unavailable from IRS
? 2007 IRS Tax Transcript
? 2006 IRS Tax Transcript
? Letter of Employment
? Pay stub(s) from the most recent two months
? Letter from Bank

and i don't receive yet 2008 IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) document for Spouse.
so it is okay to send i-864 form without ITIN number


It is OK to send i-864 form without ITIN number.
If possible, include recent three months pay stubs and send original letter of employment.

Some people advice not to send 2007 and 2006 Federal Tax Return and W-2 if you are sending Tax Transcript for these years but I included when I was filling I-864.

Interestingly, KeralianNY also has almost similar question.

there is no need to include copies of your returns and W-2's for a particular year IF you are sending tax tanscripts for that year...good luck


my husband just filed his 07 and 08 tax so i thnk he doesnt have transcript for 07 year.. but he has 05 and 06 transcript.. does he need to include his w-2 for 07?and do the same for 08?

for all of you that decided to take the ITIN route, how long after sending in W-7 did you receive the ITIN?
I am mailing my W-7 tomorrow, so I was just wondering how long of a wait am I looking at....

Thanks!


my hubby received my ITIN 6 weeks after he mailed his Tax return with my W7 and a notarized photocopy of my passport..


thanks so much for your quick response!

i have somewhat of a stupid question regarding W-7.
It asks for mailing address and foreign address. Husband obviously has a foreign address since he never lived here, but I was wondering if under mailing address i should put my address here in the US, and put his address under foreign, so that all communication comes to me. Or is that not gonna fly?
What did you all put under those two questions? For right now the mailing address for him and foreign address we put same address (his address), but I was just wondering about that other option smile.gif

i put our address in the US as the mailing address and my address here in PI as foreign address.
