2 Horse Race--Neck and Neck

Well, it happened to me too...Just got email notification that my I-129F was approved on August 21, 2007--(120 days)
I had decided to change from the K-3 and pursue the CR-1 (which I'm gonna continue doing).

My I-130 was approved first on 7/12/2007 and it's already at the NVC...already has a case number, the DS-3032 & AOS Fee Bill has been generated. I've already returned the DS-3032 and paid the AOS Fee Bill, soooooo..

Good morning to all,

I am new to this forum and I see there is a lot to learn!

I have filed a petition for my husband and the I-130 has been approved, forwarded to the NVC and the case number is now available. I called them this morning but I found the agent totally "useless" since they have to read the script and they can't tell you more that what they see on their screen.

I would like to know how long it will take for us to get the "fee bill" and how long the process will take. Also I saw some postings on the shortcut method and I would like to know if it is safe to use that. When would be a good time of start that route?

Please share your experience...

Thank you very much,

Milena

Miromay, Please fill out your timeline here on VisaJourney...This will help others estimate their timelines. All the information here and projected adjucation dates are based on all our information..If everyone inputs their timeline, we'll get better estimates....
Thanks, & Good Luck!

Need your advice! stick with i129f or i130?

Hi,

I'm a US citizen. I got married in April 2007 in Pakistan. After consulting with friends, I filled i130 when I received the receipt notice then I sent i129f along with receipt notice on i130. Yesterday I received email from USCIS updating me that approval letter for i129f and i130 are sent.
Now I need you guys to advise me whether I should drop i129f and proceed with i130 or drop i130 and proceed with i129f?

Couple of my friends who only filled i130 are waiting for the interview date. One guy got interview date after 6 months and the other got date after 7 months Ghee that's long time.

If I go the i130 route then obviously it's going to take may be 10 months before my wife gets visa however if I understood correctly i129f is much quicker then that but don't know the timeline between the approval and visa?

Also if someone can please explain what's the process like once my wife enters US on i129f.

Thanks,

Rainbow007

Please read carefully for your answer.

I read that press release...several times. It's in writing as to what their procedure is, but they DO NOT always follow procedure.
As in my case, I originally filed for a K-3 Visa (4/3/2007). My I-130 was NOT held back at the service center, like the press release says. It was forwarded to the NVC. Since that time my I-130(CR-1) has gone thru all the steps and is presently waiting for the final document to be approved(DS-230). It will be approved in the next day or so and will be forwarded to the Embassy. I did not stop or abandon my I-129F. Since then my I-129F was approved and has already reached the Embassy. I already have a K-3 intervew date set up in 3 weeks. What I am expecting to happen is in the next day or so, my I-130/CR-1 will be approved and sent to the Embassy. According to the Department of State, once m I-130 reaches the Embassy, my interview will AUTOMATICALLY change to a CR-1 interview. My timeline is 6 1/2 months on the
I-129F/K-3 from submittal to interview and 7.25 months for the I-130/CR-1...really not that much difference. If you use James's Shortcuts you can save a lot of time. I highly recommend it!!!!
I think everyones journey is different and there are a lot of variables that come into play. I have learned that the USCIS does hardly anything per procedure. There are people here who filed before me and still haven't gotten approval. Some get both petitions approved at the same time, then others are approved in order as they were designed to be...You just don't know what will happen.

Thanks to supernova's inquiry about getting touched I noticed our I-129F was touched today. CSC was probably finding a nice deep box to store it in.

How about FLJeepQC, KevFabi, G&A, iray, neenuh, waitingforwifey, whitesnail, etc. Any updated news on your journeys??

Hi edp333,
I'm still here...only news I have to report on my ummmm K-3 since my I-130 was approved first is..My I-130
made it to NVC and just got a case# this week. Probably be getting a packet soon..I'm getting ready to go the CR-1 route, I guess. My I-129F hasn't been touched since it was transferred to CSC..And I still don't have a clue as to when this thing will end..My wife and I are trying to plan, but not knowing an actual date or even a good estimate is hard. She's has sensitive timeline with her job there and not knowing when she can give her resignation is tought too...Soooo, we just wait...

You still have a glass? haha

I keep getting tempted to post the Vulture line about patience. Since it is a public forum I try to be civil.

Well...Before I had no patience..hahahha..still don't have any..Just trying to make it day to day..I check this forum daily..sometimes 3 to 4 times a day..I keep hoping that one day there will be lots of people here getting their approval notices. I see a lot of people who filed after me with very little patience..I'm thankful of finding this site, at least there are other people in the same boat. If it would make anyone feel better, you could search the timelines of a year or two ago and see that there were a lot people waiting 500, 600 and even 700 days for approval. I have a calendar and am marking the days off with the hope that it won't take near that long..I really don't have a clue how long this process will take.

Anywaysssss..Everyone hang in there....In the meantime, I am planning a trip to be with my Honey maybe next month.

NOTE TO "edp333": Our timelines are very close and we both have an interest in the Philippines, so if you're ever down and out and need a friend to talk to, I'm here. We could talk by phone and share our stories and maybe, be some sort of moral help in this time of "waiting"...

G&A,

First, thank you very much for providing this filtered (for good data points) spreadsheet. Would you mind answering a question regarding your estimates?

My VJ Timeline suggests my I-129F NOA2 is expected on September 13, 2007. This of coarse assumes users have entered their data correctly and interpreted the fields accurately.

What are you basing your estimates from? I like your estimate MUCH better, but after visiting the March filers' thread, I think your estimate of my NOA2 will not be realized.

Just curious and not criticizing at all.

Thanks again,
Robin

Hi Robin, I do not have good data for 129F NOA2 lead time so i did some prem analysis and i am using 120 days for CSC and 140 days for VSC. This is rough at the moment and i will improve it once some of the folks in March and April start getting approvals.
G&A,

How about this data for an idea, since some I-129F NOA2 data is starting to trickle in for March applicants?

Taking NOA2s received since July 1, 2007, I come up with the following.

For CSC:

Days from I-129F NOA1 to NOA2:
Data points: 224, 98, 141, 133, 133, 132, 105, 112 (8 total data points)
Drop the high and low gives a total of 6 data points totalling 756 days.

Average Days from NOA1 to NOA2 for CSC: 126 days.

For VSC:

Days from I-129F NOA1 to NOA2:
Data points: 134, 105, 95, 93, 123, 133, 111, 87, 125, 105 (10 total data points)
Drop the high and low gives a total of 8 data points totalling 890 days.

Average Days from NOA1 to NOA2 for VSC: 111.25 days.

Using my I-129F NOA1 of 4-25-2007 and adding 126 days, I come up with an estimated NOA2 receipt date of August 29, 2007.

FYI to readers, a nice place to add/subtract dates can be found here: http://www.timeandda...te/dateadd.html

Good day,
Robin

Average days between NOA1 & NOA2 for CSC...Is that from when CSC received it?..transferred to CSC?..pending at CSC date?...or from the beginning when it was sent to Chicago?
Mine: mailed to Chicago-- 105 days ago
transferred to CSC-- 88 days ago
Now pending at CSC-- 64 days ago

If your wife can get it done in the Philippines, then she should do so.

The US marriage certificate, while valid, cannot be registered directly with the NSO without proper endorsement from the Philippine Embassy or DFA. A US marriage certificate is a document issued by another country hence there is a protocol to follow.

Thanks to everyone for your responses. I do appreciate all of them.
After further review, this is what I have decided to do.
I am going to continue on towards the CR-1 interview. We will have the CENOMAR document, but will not submit it, because we're already married. The Philippine law does not require a couple to register a marriage that took place abroad, so we won't have to worry about that part. No need to file a document about a late marriage. We also won't worry about having an authenticated marriage certificate. If at some point in the future we want to do it, we can. She is going to continue using her maiden name, since that is the name on all the petitions, passport and marriage license. In the state of NC, you are not required to change your name. We were legally married in the US and, once my wife enters the US Embassy compound she will be on American soil. So, any certified marriage license from the state/county that she was married in will be acceptable to the US consulate. Both my I-130 & I-129F were approved with the same documents that she will have at her interview. As far as the NBI/Police background check, there will not be any outstanding warrants or such.
So, based on all that I am good to go!!!...

thanks to all

I read the "Marriage Law in the Philippines", but it's about marrying in the Phils...I understand that's what you do in the Phils...But she wasn't married in the Phils...She was married in the US...why does she have to register her certificate there?

if she fills out any official forms that request information on marriages and fails to report the marriage in North Carolina, she may be subject to legal penalties for putting false information in the form. So when this situation arises she would report the marriage on the form and file the paperwork to report the marriage.
International legal tangles can get really messy since the governments rarely have procedures to allow their court systems to exchange records.

Ok...What if I go to the Phils in 2 weeks and get married there?....Would this help?...I would then have cerified marriage..Of course I'd get the Legal Capacity to Marry form beforehand....Would this help my situation with an upcoming interview and the background checks, etc..

Thanks!

How do we go about it? Do we just go to NSO and register the North Carolina Marriage Certificate? Will NSO acknowledge that with no problem?

God bless.

The report would normally be filed with the Philippine Embassy in USA immediately after marriage. Since the report wasn't filed at that time, she will file a Late Report of Marriage Abroad when she renews her passport. The Late Report will be included with the passport application as a supporting document.The requirements for a late Report of Marriage Abroad are HERE

I will have to check with the city to find out if they "automatically" forward marriage licenses to the appropiate embassy..If it has been forwarded, then it could possibly show up at NSO on the CENOMAR, but most likely it won't...So I'm in a predicament

Hello to all VJ!

I just have a question for a friend of mine. I hope you could help me find the right course of action.

Here's the situation:

A USC is married to a Filipina, currently has a pending petition for CR1 (I-130). They were married here in North Carolina, however the lovely Filipina wife is in Manila awaiting interview for CR1.

Here's my question:

(1) Does she need to register her marriage certificate from North Carolina to NSO in Manila? If so, how do we go about it? Or, should we just leave it the way it is, and that will be no problem with USEM? This question is brought about in preparation for her interview. We basically just wanted to make sure that when USEM runs a background check on her current status and sees that she has registered her NC marriage to the USC, they would be rest assured (no doubts or whatsoever) that it was a bonafide marriage.

(2)Will it be a problem that she is not using her married last name yet on any of her documents such as passport, I-130 application, etc? Most likely change it after all the immigration process and gets here in the US.

I am pretty sure that there will be more question after I hear your opinions, thoughts and suggesttions.

Thank you in advance!

~ Rina

she MUST register her Marriage here in the Philippines and if she wont do that she will have a problem later on because the US embassy do ran a background check at the NSO.

Hope this could help click here (Marriage LAw in the Philippines)

This company has several different packages too..You'll have to visit their website and see if the person you want to call is in one of their calling areas..Unfortunately, some areas aren't covered...but anyways

http://www.mabuhaycalls.com/

They have two way and one way calling. I use the one way calling. My wife has a cell phone that was furnished by them....they even delivered it right to her..I set up an account with them and my credit card is charged monthly. They have US numbers for technical support and customer support in case you have a problem. What I do is call a local access number, punch in my account number, then dial my wife's cell phone number...she answers and we talk unlimited...for only $65.00 a month.. I said earlier it was $59.00. I couldn't remember the actual price. Anyways, it's still a fantastic deal. I actually pay like $2.50 extra for direct dialing. All I have to do is dial her number direct without dialing any account number. The calls are very clear too. She carries her cell phone wherever she goes and as long as there is a signal, I can call her. Depends on her and the location of the cell phone towers. You can only call your recipient too. It doesn't work if you wanna call your sister, your uncle or the Jolly Bee...You can only call her. But it's UNLIMITED...

I am not a salesperson of this company and this is not SPAM...I'm jst a happy customer

Tell them you heard this from Michael in Charlotte North Carolina too

you said you have to pay $2.50 extra for direct dialing.. Is that fee every time you make a call or just one time fee? the one way calling is does that mean I can either choose to call him in the philippines and he won't be able to call me ?

The $2.50 charge is only ONCE a month. If you use the typical service, you have to dial the access number:
704-xxx-xxxx, then enter your code xxxx, then dial your recipient's number 63-xxx-xxxx...which is a lot of numbers to dial. For the $2.50 per month(not per call), all you have to dial is your access number 704-xxx-xxxx, and it connects directly to your recipent. Basically paying $2.50 for your own private local access number that dials straight to your recipient.. Sometimes we talk for 3 hours at a time. The longer you talk the cheaper it is.

I was using calling cards at $5.00 each with 40 mins per card. Sometime I'd spend a $100.00 a month and now....

I pay $59.99 a month and I can call my wife anytime and talk unlimited...I can use a land line or a cell phone. Also, since I have nationwide long distance, I can call her from anywhere in the USA and talk as long as I want.
She can take her cell phone anywhere, and no matter when or where she goes, I can call her.. I have local direct access number.....no calling cards, no per minute charges...just UNLIMITED..

Non-Stops from Manila to US - Where and What Airline?

I live in Charlotte North Carolina....about 4 hours drive to east coast. When I travel to the Philippines, it's USAIR non-stop to Los Angeles or San Francisco, then Philippine Airlines non-stop to Manila. That's about as close as it gets to a direct flight.
