I hope you get yours soon. We have just begun our journey and are not looking forward to the long wait VSC has given EVERYONE else. I wish they would have shipped some applications to CSC so VSC could catch up. Good luck.

Thank you. Yeah.. Hope all will be well :thumbs:

Update: We got approved on our interview Jan.28,2013. The date when the judge made decision is the effective date for the process not the date when the certificate of finality and NSO annotated certificate of marriage are completed. Thank you all and God Bless. :)

Your petition will be denied. You were not free to marry at the time you sent in the I-129F, and that is a requirement. You could withdraw the petition now and file a new one now instead of waiting for the denial before starting again.

Court decision declared my previous marriage as null and void and signed by presiding judge. We thought it was fine and bring all other required documents to the interview.. Thanks to all who responded to my question with helpful info. My fiancee and i decided to just wait until next week since its almost 6 months and see if we get RFE for certification of finality or get denied, its not that long to know about it anyway... Good news/Bad news my fiancee will go to our attorney and we look at options.. We never found it easy to be in a long-distance relationship...but when we've found each other and we wanted to spend the rest of our life with, never :no: felt that we had any choice except to find a way to be together, and stay together. :)

And you will be together, that's not the issue, the only unfortunate part is that it may take a little bit longer than anticipated. You will get there though! Just out of curiosity, did you say that you had a lawyer helping you with the petition? If so, he/she should have known this.

Yes we had attorney but she didn't say anything about it.. :unsure:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCertificate of Finality was after NOA1

Yes, Finality or Entry of Judgment states marriage is Void ab Initio (will be last docs you'll get from the court). They'll also annoted your original Marriage Certificate with Null and Void. Then you'll take to the Local Civil Registry to get the Certified Copy. It doesn't end there, you'll need to take those docs to NSO where they transfer the Marriage Certificate to a special paper. These will take up to a month or more to process. If you haven't done all that or if you've hired an Atty to do it for you then techically you're not free to marry and you're not eligible to file I-129F

Good luck, USCIS and NVC might overlooked it but USEM will catch up (I've seen it happened to a couple of members here recently) and will give you automatic denial even after you've paid your visa and medical fees.

I got my Certificate of finality and annotated MC from NSO done last july 2012.. Our application accepted April 23. So sad to think that our application might be subject to a denial.. after all the waiting :(

Sounds logical, do not apply till you have the proper documents.

i only included my court decision on our petition just to save some months waiting while processing the other annulment papers that i need. We supposed to get our NOA2 nextweek, so sad.. :(

Does anybody knows of a situation where someone from the philippines was denied because their certificate of finality was after the NOA1 date? :bonk: Please :help:
D & NNot TellingPhilippines2012-10-18 07:25:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCertificate of Finality was after NOA1

We just got our Petition approved and we sent

1) Court Decision (signed by judge)
2) Certificate of finality
and
3) annotated MC from NSO

and got no RFE's.

Keep in mind that hopefully the date of Certificate of finality is dated before the date of the petition. There have been some cases where people have run into problems because they were not free to marry because their Certificate of finality was issued after they filed the petition.

Example my loved one's decision was issued Oct 10th,2011 but her Certificate of Finality was issued Jan 29th,2012 so we filed in Feb. Because the court decision is just that a court decision. The annulment is not final until the Certificate of Finality is issued.

Thank you so much for your help i appreciate it.. Do you have any idea why your approval for NOA2 was longer than the average? :blink: Was it because of the previous marriage and the annulment situation? Do you know of a situation where someone from the philippines was denied because their certificate of finality was after the NOA1 date? Hope to hear from you soon.. :)

I was annuled, i only included my court decision on our petition just to save some months waiting while processing the other annulment papers that i need. Our application accepted April 23.

Hi, good luck! so your husband is bringing your kids? are they  your children both? that's no problem if they are both your kids. just bring the documents that he is the father bringing the children to the USA.
But if the 2 kids are from your first marriage you have to get from DSWD  a permit, bringing minors to the US.


Thank you so much for info. Godbless ??

Picking-up my children to come to the US on follow-to-join

Hello Everyone,
I'm a K1 visa holder living in the US for 10 months. My children in the Philippines just received their US visa. My husband is planning on going to the Philippines and bringing them back to the US. He will travel without me. Is he allowed to pick them up and bring them back to the US without me? Are there any US or Philippine requirements for doing this? My children are 12 and 8 yrs old. Thank you for all your help.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUsing K-1 Visa again for the second time, please I need some infos

Thank you guys for all the advice. That helped me a lot to move on because no matter how much i love him still but to just think about what had happened, and not even received a sincere apology from him, like he just want me to automatically forget everything... and what hurts most is even we back chatting again these days, but i can feel that he continue being a different person compare before, when i met him the first time. I just don't understand him because i was begging him to tell me that he don't love me anymore but he just can't and for me hearing it from his mouth that he don't love me anymore, it will help me to move on but he don't wanna say it. He still love me as what he said but i think he's just fooling me and you right guys, HE'S NOT WORTH FOR ME.

By the way, i am still open for more advices. Please feel free to post here.

I'm really sorry that everything had to work out that way for you. I hope this time around everything happens as it should and that you can be happy with whatever choice you make. I also appreciate your honesty and openness with this forum. 

 

Thank you so much for saying that. It's been 6 months already but i couldnt still forget what had happened and still can't believe that it happened to me. But it's hard to fool my heart and convincing that I should move on and forget him and find someone deserving. Maybe if there's someone will frankly advice me to open my eyes heheeh. I was gonna ask your real opinion and to people here in this forum but maybe someone will tell me here that this forum is not the right place for me to post it hehe

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUsing K-1 Visa again for the second time, please I need some infos

Technically, there's no reason why you cannot start a new I-129f and K1 process.  You'll need to declare the past petition where requested and he'll have to now include information on his ex-wife (and divorce decree).

 

You may find it more difficult this time around to get your K1, however, as your case sound somewhat... odd... and may appear quite red-flag-ish.

 

Thank you for the information. Yes it would be difficult I guess. And I think I'll have to accept that I should move on. Thank you so much.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUsing K-1 Visa again for the second time, please I need some infos

If he married someone while you were processing your K1 then your biggest concern should be whether he respects you and has your best interests in mind. That would obviously raise a red flag for the visa authorities because it might indicate that the petition was not a genuine one on his part to begin with. You will have to state in the forms that you previously applied for the K1 visa and the reasons behind it and why you are applying for another one. I would seek an attorney in this case because that might be quite complicated. 

 

Yes you are really right. I have been really thinking about that and that is why I haven't talked to him for a few months since I arrived here in Cebu because i have been faithful to him  and been waiting to be with him once the visa approved. But I was thinking too that I think each one of us deserve to have second chance but on the other hand, I was also thinking if I should let go of him. It's just even though he did that to me but it's just he never hurted me physically or shouted at me. I hope God will also give me some signal if he's genuine this time or not.. But i can't really also fool my heart.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresUsing K-1 Visa again for the second time, please I need some infos

Hi. I need an information please. Here's my concern. I went to the US in California last year for a K-1 Visa. Arrived there June 14, 2012. My petitioner which is my fiance wasn't able to marry me because he did something wrong in the middle of my visa processing which is impossible for him to marry me. My visa expired September 11, 2012 but I overstayed like around 100 days before I went back here in Cebu City Philippines. I arrived here December 20, 2012.

 

I have read some legal articles online that if I overstayed less than 180 days in the US since my visa expires, I won't have any trouble in applying a visa again. Is it true?

 

We reconciled, me and my fiance, and we want to do the processing again. Is it possible for me to get a K-1 visa again, with the same petitioner?

 

Can he still petition me while it was his fault why he couldn't marry me there? (he married someone in the middle of the processing of my visa, but still continued the processing on that time, so that i could still be there with him. Crazy love. But when I arrived there, he was filing a divorce for her already and now the divorced is finalize.)

 

Please I need some answers.

PhilippinesParents marriage certificate misspelled mother's name. Anybody had success with correction with NSO?

I have been patiently waiting for NSO to correct my parents marriage certificate and it has been freaking molasses. I was wondering if anybody had any success with corrections with NSO. What is usually the time frame with this? I had my dad processed the whole correction since Oct 2012 and so far the info I'm getting is that the papers are at NSO Manila awaiting confirmation and approval. How long does this process usually takes? Any info regarding about this is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The interview is scheduled by NVC for immigrant visas, unless you were an expedite.  Were you notified of the interview date by NVC?  
 
Unless you actually cancelled the interview date it is still there in July, did you click to an cancel button?  Even then I am not sure that it is really cancelled as there was another immigrant visa that tried rescheduling the interview themselves, they showed up at their "new date" and the embassy sent them home and told them to come back on their original interview date.



I don't remember clicking a Cancel button. My dad's interview was set-up by NVC and I was hoping if I could reschedule it to an earlier date.
