PhilippinesQuestion, How long will 2GO hold your Visa if you dont pick up?

Our Visa has been approved on March 24th. and we are just waiting processing and delivery. We have requested it to be sent to Manila 2Go for pick up.

 

What happens if the Visa arrives at 2GO and we cant pick it up until 5 days later or so? Will they hold it if we ask? If not then what happens and what is the other option of picking the Visa up in Manila?

 

We have other things going on and are just trying to time things right to pick up the Visa and finish the CFO process in Manila.

 

Thanks!

PhilippinesWhat if I get married in the Philippines?

 

 

Unless you were lucky like me. I couldnt afford a trip to the Philippines either. My wife decided that if she were to see me any time soon she would just pay it all. She bought my airline ticket and she paid the hotel bill. I just couldnt afford it at the time... job situation and all. We got married there on that visit too... going on 7 years now.

 

I guess that ruled out any concerns of marrying for financial security on her part though, because I had nothing, and she had to give up a very good and well paying career. 

 

Your story is a nice one and I guess its one in a billion. I think the OP has other issues he or she needs to work out being that the original post stated "what is the quickest" way to get the Filipina to the States.

 

Btw I believe you are proud by the size of your PRINT and PHOTOS. Nice to hear of a successful relationship!

Scott & KayeMalePhilippines2014-04-02 23:14:00
PhilippinesWhat if I get married in the Philippines?

so what is the process like for me to go there and marry?

 

What's the hurry buddy? You shouldn't even be asking these questions or have found this site yet. Get on an airplane and go do some real face to face time. No that's not a new App ;). Im not saying this to be negative but you really need to make a REAL connection with the person you plan to marry and bring to the USA.

 

Would you be willing to meet a girl online that lives a few towns over from you and commit to marry her without even seeing her in person and spending the good times and bad with her and meeting her family first?

 

They have outlawed "Mail Order Brides" for a reason ya know? Its to protect both parties.

 

Go to the Philippines and meet the person you are chatting with and then do it again 6-months later and if all the same feelings are still there then continue with your quest.

 

if you cant afford make to multiple visits and spend extended time with her and her family I would suggest to look closer to home for a bride.

Actually that link is not the official one. See I told you its a little confusing ;)

 

Someone else will post the official link to the US Gov site or you can search it yourself.

 

Btw what's the hurry to marry the Filipina you met online so fast?

PhilippinesWhat if I get married in the Philippines?

Its all a little confusing at first. You just need to read the forums here on VJ and have your Filipina fiancé do the same.

 

Heres another guide that is the official one http://www.immigrati...isa-K1-Visa.jsp

 

Trust me you NEED to go there and meet her and her family members first for many reasons.

 

 

 

 


Scott & KayeMalePhilippines2014-04-02 22:11:00
PhilippinesWhat if I get married in the Philippines?

but my fiance would have to get a tourist visa to come here so we can meet to accomplish the requirement of meeting, 

and I heard that can take long if not rejected all together 

 

thanks for your reply 

 

Wouldn't it be easier for you to go there and meet her? Plus don't you want to know who you are marrying?

K-1 fiancé visa is much quicker.

My wife lived in Taguig just outside Makati and it was still two weeks.
 
Little more patience, it will arrive.  ;)


Thank you Mr. Hank ??

My fiancé will be here in a couple of hours and for sure we'll have great time with the kids, I guess we'll have to keep checking our Visa status and call 2GO even we're on our vacation.

God bless always ??

PhilippinesReleasing of Visa

 

It took two weeks for my wife to get her visa.  Don't forget the embassy was closed yesterday, so that adds a day to everyone's wait.

 

 

This is why it is stressed to not arrange travel until the visa is in hand... keeps the worry and stress to a minimum.

 

Thanks Hank and ive been trying to slow Miss Kaye down but she is one determined Filipina :) It might cost me a few extra bucks in travel costs but she sure has attacked this process and saved us some time and money.

That's a bit strange.  My wife's visa was delivered 3 days after her interview, if I recall correctly.  Granted, she was staying in Metro Manila at her brother's house at the time.  I know it can take a bit longer to the province. 

 

Oh where is "the province"?

 

Kaye had her Visa arranged to be delivered in Manila and she does not live in "the province".

 

I read your posts and you have a history of chiming in on threads but don't have much to say since 2005.

 

Things have changed and don't assume everything other than Manila is "the province".

 

This is Scott

PhilippinesReleasing of Visa
Hi there! We had our interview last March 24,2014 and we got approved. Upon checking our visa status, it says "READY" since the day after our interview. I checked every now and then and on March 31 I called the Embassy and says our case was reviewed and updated as what I can see on CEAC. I just called the Embassy again and asked for any updates and told me it's still on process and can't tell me how long it will take to get it done.

It's been 9 days now since we got approved and still not moving. I wonder how many days more to get our Visa released so we can do the CFO seminar, my fiancé and his kids will be here in 2 days for vacation and we are set to go with them when they go back to the US. I am really worried about this and it feels frustrating. ;(

Def have everything in order... ESPECIALLY your affidavit of support and tax information.  That was what they really looked at.  Pretty much my fiance had a 3-minute conversation with a filipina interviewer and then another 3-minute interview with the US consulate and that was all really.  She got there around 6 am and didn't finish up till noon

 Yeah, I'm trying to get every doc's organized and ready. Yes, I have my affidavit of support and tax information from 2012-2013.

 

I am really praying and hoping everything will be just fine, I'm kinda nervous can't help it. I read a lot of reviews and different stories with their interview. 

 

Thanks for the tips :)

Nice!  thats awesome that you were able to reschedule to an earlier date from the May 5th date that you got from me when I rescheduled from May 5th to March 12th.[/

Yep, had it rescheduled earlier than we expect and we are happy and excited.

Not entirely true.  My fiance showed up really early and got everything done in one day, including her immunizations.


@gwapowhatever LOL Yep, I agree! My medical could be done in one day, it's just that I have to wait and accompany my daughter with her immunization, so the doctor advise us to do it together at the same time.


I understand
 
The nurse just asked if she wanted to wait for the results of her tests and stated that if everything was clear, the immunizations could be administered after the results.  She had to wait about 2 hours for the results then when clear, got her immunizations done that same day

Oh I see! Anyways, are you in the Philippines? Bit confused about that LOL

About the Medical, can't be done in 1day..On our first day, I got my blood test, urine and X-ray done then my daughter had hee skin test then the doctor told us to come back on Wednesday to have our immunization. Then after our immunization, we waited for the releasing and done! So, it takes 2days. Passed!

@lalabobe Just keep on checking, you will see the blue box on the side showing the available dates. It's just a quick process, soon you see dates you wanted or closer or earlier than you have then just reschedule your appointment but before that you have to cancel your appointment and grab the date available.

Good luck! :)

Supposedly, you can only reschedule TWICE without having to pay the visa fee again

 

Yup! That's what I read about rescheduling, you can do it TWICE :)

I was freaking out so much when I saw the date popped up; it was almost like I didn't even know how to use the computer again..... Hahahaha

 

I rushed to try to reschedule to get the date

Hank..... You are very right....

 

Once you can get your MNL #, everything can move very fast if you & your fiance are willing to do a lot of work.

 

That's exactly what I'm doing, I checked every hour and hoping to get sooner one.

 

Yeah, kinda funny..when I saw the date popped up which is May 5, I was like OMG! this is it hahaha and I then got confirmed and I texted my fiance though I know he was sleeping that time, I just want him to know and I felt so excited LOL :)
