hello everyone! I decided to join VJ to learn more about my new journey.

i have a question what is NOA1 and what you mean by Touched!

july 31,2007 know my fiance thru my aunt from vegas
aug 7, 2007 serious relationship start (internet is our way of communicating)
nov 27, 2007 got engaged send ring to my aunt
july 8, 2008 visit me in phil
aug 15 2008 sent i-129F via USPs certified mail

FAQ's

You will see a link for definitions and acronyms at the bottom of that page but I would recommend reading the rest as well as going through the other links/tabs at the top of the forums...mostly the GUIDES and flowchart so that you can understand the process. Not getting it right can cause you even more delays... and none of us need any of that! wink.gif

NOA1 and NOA2 are both USCIS forms I-797




Once your check is cashed you can usually get your EAC (vermont) or WAC (california) number off the back. Register with uscis.gov with that number and you can track your case. You have been touched when your 'last updated' date changes... like this.

This post by a former adjuticator explains 'touches' best. Basically they scan our petitions (or they're suppose to anyway wink.gif ) when the file is moved or opened or 'whatever'. Judging by the past year, this does not happen very much in California so don't get too nervous if you don't find that date changing. wink.gif

Nice to see you folks moving along! smile.gif


Thank you very much for your info, it will be a great help.

Good luck to US.
GOD BLESS US ALL!

It sounds like they just had a brain fart, and should have wrote May 18 instead of March 18, go to a local office and see what you need to do to correct it, hopefully they won't require you to go to the PoE to correct it or anything extreme like that.

Cuchita: 34,000 is what you'd put.

Congrats on the 5k... sounds like you been busy today, what you going to do tomorrow... tongue.gif

Congrats MARM, you are just days away from your NOA2 now I'm sure.

And congrats Gemmie, I had checked igor's hoping for the customary huge friday update and well... 1 approval at each service center... that's like a huge update this week (it's still early, maybe a few more will show up!).

Hopefully next week both service centers will put some effort into cranking out some NOA2's, cause it's kind of weird posting in the august thread about the post NOA2 stuff when so many are still waiting on that fist huge step.

PhilippinesRNs on K-1 Visas: Fiancee is RN in PI does she still need to take TOEFL?
I don't think your fiancee needs to take TOEFL unless if through working visa but she is on K1 visa so doesn't need to take TOEFL. I have a friend who is a RN in the Philippines and arrived here through K1 Visa. She did not take TOEFL before going here,she is now preparing for NCLEX. I have another USC filipina nurse (NCLEX passer) friend from the Philippines,she did not take TOEFL. She said TOEFL is only for RN who is applying to take NCLEX for working visa purposes. Since she is already a USC she doesn't need to take TOEFL.

PhilippinesWhere's your hometown?

Hi!nice to hear your wife's family is from Camiguin.Im from Camiguin Island and my fiance likes Camiguin.My parents place is in Catarman,Camiguin.Hope to know your wife.Im here in Cebu while waiting the fiancee visa.







Wife's family is from Camiguin, but she grew up Cebu.


I was born in the Phoenix area, but have lived in California for the last dozen years.

.......

The island-province of Camiguin is a pear-shaped volcanic island in the northern tip of Mindanao. It is approximately 90 kilometers north of the City of Cagayan de Oro. It is bounded to the north by Bohol Sea, to the west by Macajalar Bay, to the southeast by Gingoog Bay and to the east by Butuan Bay.

....

Among the Province's major products are coconut, cassava, banana, camote, palay, corn, fruits, coffee and vegetables. Camiguin's volcanic soil has proved to be a fertile ground for planting various crops.

....

The Camiguin culture is a mixture of both Boholano and Cebuano culture. It is very colorful and creative. The people are deeply religious, hospitable and friendly. Cebuano is the major dialect in the Province. However, in the towns of Sagay and Guinsiliban, where most of the indigenous tribes reside, the Kinamiguin dialect is still spoken. Kinamiguin is derived from the Manobo dialect with some mixture of Boholano.

PhilippinesE-Passport info please for Philippine passport holder

Hello guys,

 

        This is my second post here in VJ but the previous one is not all about the e-passport, it was all about K-1 visa which it was really helpful to me. Thank you guys for it!!!

 

        I know that asking about e-passport here in a K-1 visa forum is out of topic but please those who knows about my question for e-passport could help me.

 

       I've heard about the news that it is required to have all Philippine passport into e-passport and I've heard that they only accepting to make it e-passport until October this year. It says we would have a problem to travel next year if we still using the maroon passport. My passport will expire March 2015. It's still long way for my passport to expire but I just don't want any problem if ever I could travel by next year. Can i renew it to e-passport even if my expiry date still far?

 

 

     Please I would appreciate if someone knows about this....

 

 

Thank you so much...

Can this be true?
I hope anybody here could enlighten us.

PhilippinesThis flood shows the differences between poor filipinos and poor americans
QUOTE (Economist @ Sep 27 2009, 12:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
One of the reasons I would like to move to the philippines one day with my wife is the attitude of the poor filipinos and how they deal with circumstances. Look at these two photos and see how big the differences are.

In philippines 24 hours after the flood, a woman is already starting to clean up her home.




In the united states after hurricane katrina...about 24 hours after the flood (you can see the waters have still not subsided) people are looting like crazy.



The guys above look like they're robbing the store. Are they? unsure.gif

PinayAmerican, do you know Xylide's REAL name? If yes, give me a PM.
My brother-in-law who works for the FBI can help find out where she currently lives right now and you may be able to hear her side of the story.
I don't think it's fair enough that you have to face everything when in fact, she was the one who suggested the said agency.
Grabe naman at nakakatulog xa nang diretso knowing na my inagrabyado xa na tao.
I'm glad that my hubby purchased the tickets online and we didn't had problems with it.
Even my hubby feared for my life when I invited new-found friends to share the room with me at Manila when I had my medical at SLEC.
He said I was too trusting. Though it didn't occur to me the situations that could happen. I was just being nice and friendly. Hehehhe

PhilippinesWestern Union Sucks
Used PayPal to send money to wifey before when she was in PI.
It's cheap, no hidden charges and easy.
All your wife need to do is set up a dollar account or a regular savings account on a bank. Her's is MetroBank.
Plus, let her get a debit card at UnionBank. It will only be used as a verification for the PayPal account.
We pay 350 pesos per year for the debit card. Tell UnionBank that the debit card will be used for the PayPal account.
They pretty sure know what you are talking about.


Good Luck!

PhilippinesCFO Experience - Cebu
Hello All VJ members!

I'm just gonna share my CFO and SMEF-COW experience today. It was TIRING.. wacko.gif

Got at St. Mary's Euphrasia Foundation, Inc around 9:10 AM.
Tel. #: 2353745 - 2353746
Address: 3rd floor Aya-ay Arcade, Mango Ave., Cebu City
Landmark: Across University of San Carlos Boys High (now South Campus)

After registering, I filled out a COW form and prepared requirements. They will also take a digital picture of you inside the office after filling out the form.
NOTE: Requirements vary per visa category.

REQUIREMENTS: ST. MARY'S (K1)
NSO Birth Certificate - Original and photocopy
2 Valid Id's with picture - Original and photocopy
Passport - Original and photocopy (both front and back)
Visa - Original and photocopy (if you already have it)
250 pesos for registration
Black ink pen
Photos with fiance

Seminar started around 10 AM with Sister Marieta Velez.
It's actually a presentation of one of the featured documentaries of Magandang Gabi Bayan by now VP Noli de Castro.
After the presentation, a short discussion about abuses were lectured and what to do when your partner is abusing you.
Then, another COW Staff discussed on what not to bring upon departure and what to do after getting hitched. We were lectured depending of the country we'll be entering. SMEF-COW caters seminar and counseling to Filipinos entering or migrating to almost all countries, I guess.
I was very much surprised that I can't take my replica bags of Chanel and Louis Vuitton. She mentioned that America is anti-imitation and anti-piracy country. Did anybody successfully entered a state using their replica bags or had it at their check-in luggage? Hope you could enlighten me. I feel terribly bad cause some of my bags are replica bags and I don't wanna leave it sa Pinas! Huhu

Moving forth, we ended the seminar by 12:15 PM. Ate lunch and was told to come back at 1PM for the one-on-one interview or counseling. Name was called around 1:45 PM. The counseling went well.
QUESTIONS:
Where did you meet?
When did it started?
How long was the relationship at present time?
His address?
Work and address?
When was his first visit and the following visits that followed?(they wanna know how good memory you have; give out exact dates of visit)
What are your plans upon arrival at the US?
Based on my age (I'm 22), she said I need my parents consent but judging how I gave out my answers, she commented that I am mature for my age and can definitely see that I love my fiance soo much and wished me a happy marriage ahead.
She gave out my blue certificate (and told me to have it photocopied for the CFO office). Paid 5 pesos for the photocopying of my certificate for their records.
Time check-out: 2:20 PM

Travelled to CFO office for my sticker. Its located at the 2nd floor of the DFA-Cebu building.
Got there at around 3PM. Presented requirements.

REQUIREMENTS: CFO STICKER OFFICE (k1)
Passport - Original and photocopy
Visa - Original and photocopy
Blue certificate from SMEF-COW - Original and photocopy
400 pesos Registration Fee
Duly Accomplished CFO Registration Form

Presented my Passport and its photocopy, my blue certificate from SMEF-COW and its photocopy. Then he gave me out a form to fill out.
After filling out the form, name was called to pay the registration fee. He took my passport and told me to wait again. Around 3:45 PM, name was called at the front desk to confirm if I had the right and correct name affixed on my CFO sticker. A few minutes later, CFO sticker was stamped at my passport. He gave me out a form to fill out upon entry to the US and told me to fill it out and send it back again thru mail to the CFO address. He also gave me a handbook about Filipinos migrating to the US. That was IT! Finally, I'm done.
Time check: 4PM

wow.gif What a day! I'm glad I'm finally done with this.

PhilippinesBirth Certificate - Late Registered
My BC was late registered too.
Being aware that it might cause some problems, I brought in my baptismal certificate.
She asked me why I was late registered and told her that my dad relied too much on the 'traditional hilot' that helped my mom during the delivery.
That she herself did not have it registered until my dad found out about it when I started going to school.

Good Luck on your journey! biggrin.gif

PhilippinesNeed Prayers...
I had the same problems when I came here in the US.
Being away from your family and friends, it's depressing.
I have no choice but to adjust with the communication barrier, weather conditions and such.
I'm glad that hubby is patient enough to keep up all of my craziness.
I know that it gets into your nerves sometimes, hearing your wife that she wants to go home.
I suggest that you talk to her, ask her what she really wants.
Does she talk to her family in PI? If not, I suggest find ways for her to talk to them.
Every woman loves shopping. =D
You could take her window shopping or at least go out in the house when you have free time.
Try plan to bring her somewhere she has never been to. She might like it.
Help her find a job. That would keep her out of the house and divert her homesickness into something productive.
Then talk to her about how you guys fought hard and waited for a long time to be together.
I hope you guys could settle this.
We'll include you in our prayers.

Good Luck!

There are no lockers anymore and if you are caught with a cellphone, you will be denied entry.
I even had to throw my cellphone charger and headset because they don't allow it inside.

PhilippinesMy horrible interview story at USEM
When I read your post days before I had my medical and interview, I was really SCARED TO DEATH.
It gave me a very scary idea on how CO's are in the Embassy.

And you are SOO BRAVE and so as your fiance.

CONGRATULATIONS!

I may say that life indeed is full of drama. But you got through it and you went perfectly fine.


HAVE A HAPPY AND BLISSFUL MARRIAGE AHEAD! good.gif

PhilippinesTerms of endearment.
We call each other "Babe". But when he pisses me off, I yell "Todd!" with matching stern eyes. And still he finds it cute! blink.gif
