My fiance' has sole custody of her son as stated on her annulment. Once in the US and we are married we want to change his last name to mine so all will share the same last name. Does anyone know the procedure for this? Does it require adoption of him in US? I would like to hear from someone who has been through this.

unsure.gif unsure.gif unsure.gif , yes i think in ur case.. if u want to change ur fiancee's child surname to urs then u should adopt him.. pls. seek attorney's legal advice... smile.gif



Happyme is right, you need to adopt your fiancee child if you want to change the surname. My husband will adopt my son so my son can use my husbands surname and that is also my lawyer told me.

If they are emancipated, which appears to be the case as they are over 18 and looking for employment, he is not responsible for their support.

You do not include them as dependents within the poverty guidelines if he does not claim them as such.



Hi DaSweetSpot! I just want to know, what emancipated means? I just saw that at my husband divorced paper that one of his daughter was emancipated.


US Marriage Laws website states,"The word "emancipation" literally means to become free from the control or restraint of another. In the context of emancipated minors, emancipation is essentially a legal procedure whereby children become legally responsible for themselves and their parents are no longer responsible (financially or otherwise) for their children. Thus, emancipated children are freed from parental custody and control and essentially become "adults" in many ways."



Thank you for answering my question.

This is not a bash anyone thread.. It is a genuine question if missing something in the culture. I am embarrassed to even ask this.

I give my fiancée 300 american dollars for support each month. It is never enough though. I realize 300 a month is not a great deal, but should be enough to live on or am I way off here? It is starting to really hurt our relationship at this point because within 15 days she has gone through the 300 this month, and asking for more even though have asked her to budget money since I am sadly not a rich man. Would someone please illuminate the situation? crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif

Sorry but you have a scammer or VERY high priced pinay.
My wife made $148 US a month and supported her mom and dad and her daughter.
Have you met her?



I have met her. We spent almost three weeks together in the Philippines. To the others in the thread she is currently not working. So I am doing full support for her.

I have asked her to breakdown expenses, and have only received guesstimates on expenses. Then when have gone into it further. She told me had paid for a birthday party and gifts also. She has no children. This is really causing pain at this point because do love her, but the lack of responsibility with money pains me. 300 dollars seems excessive in 14 days. I fear she has given her mother money to get involved in a networking scam over there. As well as giving money to everyone in the family. I really do not know for positive though, and it pains me to ponder these questions. Would just rather address this now than 6 months down the road. We are to the point that just filed for 129f.

Edit: She is paying for a boarding room. She is leaving there this month, and it is provincial, and not Manila or Cebu.

I am looking to see if my concerns are just in my head, or if there is reason to be concerned. I am not trying to bash her or anything of the sort, or grab attention. Thank you for the replies.



When I met my husband, he is giving me a $200 every month until we got married and I have my child of my own and I really budget the money he is giving it to me coz I know he works hard for it. I really don't tell to my husband if I'm already low.
Talk to your girl and tell her that you are not a rich man and you also budget your money there. If you really love her teach her how to budget and give importance in everything you work hard.

Philippinespolice and nbi clearances both needed???
QUOTE (chris@beth @ Sep 21 2009, 09:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
NOTE1: Police Certificate is required for any place in their country of citizenship; the beneficiary has lived longer than six (6) months, after age of 16.

***this is what i read in a link here on VJ. And some people say only NBI clearance is needed for NVC. So, do i need to apply for Police Clearance from Quezon City or NBI is enough? And NBI really sucks..! When I applied for clearance in 2003, my name was HIT (namesake). Same thing happened when I applied in 2007. And now, my name was HIT again and that would delay my DS-230 for sure because i have to come back for the clearance after 2 weeks. Oh God!!



Hi sis! yup police certificate needed at NVC for sending the DS-230 packet. Do you already receive the IV bill?

follow up Q.: as what i have said that my husband is here in philippines next week for 8 days,

can we pay AOS bill online from here in Philippines and can we send AOS packet from here as i will just ask him to bring those documents just in case we will just notice from NVC that it can be sent already? please advice


Sure he can pay it here online. For sure, it will be deducted from his bank account in US because he will be asked for his bank account infos anyway. And of course you can send the documents from Philippines also. My DS-230 will be sent from here, not like sending it to husband first and then husband will send to NVC as some people did. You can ask husband to confirm with NVC whether they have it yet or not when he return to US. As for DS-230 package, I will be using paperclips for both original and photocopies, case number written on all the papers, 2x2 pics in a plastic will be clipped on the upper right of original copies. Place it in a plastic before I seal it in DHL envelope. smile.gif



Hi chris@beth, Do I need to put our case# in all pages of all documents including the ds230 form part 1 and2?that I am going to sent to NVC with the ds230 packet?

Hi philmae83, as far as I know if your husband will pay the fee online is ok as long as he will get the money at the bank in U.S. because there is a note that the money your husband will use to pay for the fees at NVC will come to the U.S. soil. And your husband should be in the U.S. while sending the papers at NVC. Wait till he comes back in U.S.

we already got our case number, it was assigned last sept 18..but we still waiting for nvc to send us notice that so we can send the ds3032 and pay AOS..

my husband is coming here in philippines and will stay for 8 days, next week..is it best way if i will just let him bring all my documents (for the ds230 packet) when he go back to kentucky, so he will be the one to mail it to NVC? or i will just keep my documents here and will just personally send it to NVC? hope you can give me some insight..thank you in advance



Hi philmae83, You can send ds230 by yourself. That is what luvtechwifey did, and now she is case complete.

I think you should put the exact address... so no more question and no RFE's. What I did to my ds230, I put the complete address where I lived.

ok...it's not that i'm excited about the ds-230, i just want to prepare all the documents needed so that i can send it overnight when they asked for it. here's my list:

1. barcoded cover sheet (once my husband paid the IV bill and the status online says PAID)
2. My own cover sheet of the documents
3. Original birth certificate
4. Authenticated Marriage certificate
5. NBI Clearance (US immigration purpose)
6. DS-230 form (part 1 signed by me)
7. photocopy of my passport
8. 4 passport sized (2in x 2in 5x5 cm) photos
9. Police certificate from Dubai, UAE

I'm satisfied with my package. I just have an issue about my Dubai PCC . It's valid only for 3 months and it's already expired on September 7, 2009. But I've never been back there since the issuance of that PCC and it was actually requested more than 1 year since I left that country. So, do you think this will cause us delay or RFE'd us? Can I include an explanation that I was never out of my country since January 2008 so there's no need to re-apply for new PCC..??? This is the only thing that bothers me right now. Any suggestions/ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Beth

Our case was received by NVC on August 26 and they sent the packet to my husband but I think it's lost because his address was not changed. We thought USCIS gave them the new address when they forwarded it. We came to know that they already sent it just last night when I called NVC so they updated his infos. And today, while at work, my mother called me and said there was a mail from US so I guess it's from NVC.



Hopefully you will receive soon the case #, before when we received our approval from USCIS, I always call NVC to get our case#. We will have a smooth journey at NVC, God is with us

Just wait 1 week to receive the NOA2, luvtechwifey advise me to have medical when I already know the interview date because I might not know how long my papers will be at NVC, The medical is only valid for 3 months.

Im with you girls in the waiting. I don't get it on why we have to wait this long for the NVC number. Been calling NVC everyday checking on the AVR if a case number has been assigned to us but no luck. Hopefully we receive good news before the week ends.

Keep the faith!

hi Bob (your name must be Robert), you got the same nickname as my husband..by the way thank you..i see that your wife is in Philippines too..hoping you can give me more information about this journey


Yes, my name is Robert but I never use that as it's just too formal sounding.

I'm not sure how much info I can give as we're just a few weeks ahead of you in the process...

As you can see from our timelines it was 8 days for my wife & 7 days for our son to show as case received by NVC and have a case number.

Also note that it was 13 days to get the AOS Fee Bill & DS-3032 for my wife via US Mail but only 4 days for our son via e-mail. The difference baing that I had called NVC the day he had a case number there and gave them our e-mail addresses BEFORE THEY GENERATED his AOS Fee Bill & DS-3032 so they were able to e-mail it all to us instead of print & mail it.

Now it has taken 8 days for them to accept her DS-3032 via e-mail and we are expecting our son's to be accepted ether today or tomorrow as they were e-mailed close together. Note that when e-mailing the DS-3032 the short note included in the outdated shortcuts doesn't work anymore. You must fill-out and sign the DS-3032 that is sent to you and then scan it and attach it to the e-mail then follow the provided instructions (put NVC Case number in subject line, Petitioner's name & birthdate and Beneficearies name & birthdate in the message body with note stating that your DS-3032 is attached).

When I sent the AOS (I-864) Packets to NVC I sent the package UPS Next Day Air. NVC's system showed "Mail Received on the case" 2 days after UPS showed it was delivered.

Once they have received the DS-3032, NVC will generate the IV Fee Bill.

The best shortcuts (in my opinion) are:

1. Call NVC starting at 5 days after NOA2 Date to get NVC Case Number.
2. Once you have NVC Case Number, speak to an NVC Operator and give them both party's e-mail addresses.
3. Use Express delivery services (not US Post Office) for return of Document Packages (AOS I-864 & DS-230).
4. Have the documents (AOS I-864 & DS-230 Packages) ready to that when the coversheets are generated you can send them right away.

I've read on VJ that members have been able to get the SLMEC Medical Exams by just showing a copy of thier NOA2. I'm going to suggest to my wife, Anna, that she & our son try that before the end of the month as it would cut some time off the wait for her interview.

The wait times now are so much shorter but really more agonizing because we're so close that we can actually imagine the day she will land in Chicago. She has days where I think she'll go crazy from the wait but this is how the US Gov't works: Hurry up and wait...

Hi! In my understanding it is not Approval letter because when the USCIS sent me an email it says current status: Approval Notice sent. Maybe it is an RFE. The USCIS needs some document.


Hi Lady AA. I think you're ok. We got the same email on Sept. 3, 2009. Our I-130 was approved on August 17, 2009 and was sent on August 18, 2009 but it was returned to USCIS on August 27, 2009 and they sent my husband that same email (DOCUMENT OTHER THAN CARD/TRAVEL DOCUMENT MAILED TO APPLICANT) on September 3, 2009. Then he received NOA2 on September 3. The reason..? He forgot to update his address change online. I posted the same topic last week because it freaked me out. I think we should not just rely online because USCIS didn't update our status until Sept. 3. They didn't even send us notice of approval in email when we were already approved on August 27. So, I think your NOA2 is on the way. Goodluck.



Hi chris@beth, I am not the one who received the letter from USCIS,.
My husband is still waiting for our AOS and ds3032, NVC received our case last Sept. 01, 2009. I hope they will process our papers fast and smooth.

Thanks in advance.

Chris and Janna


Yes, they should mail you. I don't know about email, I never tried to receive email updates. You'll get a notice from NVC when they receive your petition. Then, you can start checking the embassy website for an interview date. It will be a couple weeks though before the embassy receives it.



NVC send email letters to the petitioner and beneficiary if you gave them your email addresses. You can call NVC to know if they already got your papers. NVC# (603) 334-0700.
In my case we receive the documents via email, we called NVC to gave them our email add, it is more faster than mailing system

maybe your husband was recently sent a letter (maybe an RFE) requesting that form (the RFE letter will usually specify which form and the reason), review will resume when they receive it. could be the DS230 or G325...



Thanks zen den for the reply. I called NVC last night (Phil Time) and the operator told me that biographic form is the ds230, I already sent the ds230 to the NVC.

I sent the choice of agent form ( ds-3032 ) and my AOS yesterday to NVC . Addresses were different and sent them to the ones they said . I have paid the AOS bill and it shows paid .
Now whats the next step ? I sent these documents by fedex and they should have it there on tuesday . I am wondering what the next step is .



The IV fee bill will be email to you... you should wait that before you pay the IV fee and the NVC will email you that they already received your ds3032 aka choice of agent

hy, I emailed the NVC, because I had not contacted them, nor my attorney.. so I just emailed them and asked for any status on my case.... that's it...

When my I-i30 got approved, my info was sent to the NVC, they sent us a letter saying that there where no visas available at the time, and that they would save or info till they had visas available.. !!

So after requesting status info from the NVC, they sent me the DS-3032 and AOS, I will send them back on Monday....



Hi pretty...pink! You are lucky because when NVC reply to you, they sent you already the ds3032 and AOS bill. I hope we can get it soon too.
