Love hurts
When you live an ocean away
When you change your sleep schedule to catch a few more moments
When you really need to be held and you have to imagine whilst your partner describes it
When you constantly refresh the USCIS website to see if you're getting any closer
Love Loves
When it repays you with the love of your life
When God finally answered your biggest prayer
When you can live life again in the real world but still have that eternal connection
When you wake up for to the beginning of the rest of your life with the person you fought so hard for
When you love somebody that much
You'll do anything

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Done with AP
QUOTE (I @ Feb 12 2008, 10:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Moon,

Please for God sakes stop worrying, Everything is going to be fine. Trust God and stand on faith that the AP is over and done with. I can imagine that you are worried, but please speak life over you case and know who is in control. God can and he will work it out. Stand on the word on God that he will give you the desires of your heart. He may not come when you call him, but he will be there right on time...why? because he's an on-time God. He's not a right now God, he said he is an ON-TIME GOD. We are praying for nothing but the best.

they did not say why in letter?? I really am not sure becuase usally they say pick up visa but this is diffrent case.. So maybe great news cross your fingers i wish u best

It's bad enough I chopped off all my TALL hair because most of it was falling out, now what little I have is going to fall out too crying.gif ...like I need anymore more stress...the K-1 process is already stressful enough. And what really pissess me off is that he keeps on tell my son (4 years old) to ask mommy to marry daddy or ask him where did mommy take you or who did mommy go see...(that's about the LAST I can take) Leave the child out of this.

Asia: East and PacificPHillpines K1 Nightmare
QUOTE ('my_destiny' @ Dec 23 2006, 11:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I think your fiancee should talk to the father of her child about it so that when you start processing your K2 case, he will not be the burden for the papers of that kid. But since they were never married, it means that the child's surname is your girl's surname so that means the father cant do anything about it.

I just wish you luck in your visa journey!




I have question because philpines is diffrent way they do things.. my brother got his approval notice.. So now this means next its sent to nvc correct. do you know how long it normally takes, Then I see where it says his wify to be needs to email or contact embassey for interview..?? does she go on line and give approval # date. after its went to nvc. or left nvc. when does she pay for visa. I saw some say she can pay now its good for year.. please show me where next step is so I can help brother,, she also has a baby does she also pay visa for him too. I need someone dealing with phillpines visa not othe rcountry so we relate.. Thanks.. I told him it should be arounf first sept, she will be here are close.. they did K1 also how does he track it when its left going to nvc to embassy and phone number he can call also she moved is there a form on here to get it changed or does she have to go th consaltes offices any help will be appreciated

All consulates and embassies are required by Department of State to request only I-134 Affidavit of Support for all K-Visas.

I-864 is GREEN-CARD affidavit of support, not a visa affidavit of support. I-864 is used for IMMIGRANT visas (CR-1 and IR-1) because they directly result in a Green-Card issued upon entry to the USA.

thank you becuz i was told I134 is a form given to my bank to fillout for year should i get three years or just 2007

One thing about I-134, the directions included with I-134 are very old, USCIS has no reason to update them since USCIS has no application for that form.

The consulates tend to treat the I-134 like a mini-I-864 as so prefer the same financial evidence as the I-864.

In our case this what the I-134 included.
  • I-134 signed and notarized.
  • SIMPLE Tax transcripts from the IRS for past 3 years, (Redundant for the (1040,W2,1099) but are free from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html
  • Photo copy of IRS form 1040, and W2s for past 3 years (Not necessary if you provide the transcripts)
  • Letter from my employer stating annual salary, job responsibility, and that is full time, on company letterhead.
  • Photo copies of past month or so of pay stubs up to a few weeks before the interview.
My income was well above the povertyline so I did not include any asset data (LIKE BANK STATEMENTS or property values).

If your income exceeds 125% of the povertyline when counting yourself, prospective immigrant and any dependents, then don't bother with assets (401K, Bank balance, Stocks etc..), it is just extra un-needed data to provide, the consular officer is most concerned with INCOME.

Are you talking about the expiration of the NOA2?

Don't worry if you do not have an interview by then. The consulate should automatically extend the validity of your petition. You can also send them an e-mail just to make sure if it makes you feel better.

lol i was wanting to here they ned to interview before it runs out ans yes to ?


Normally yes, the interview is normally scheduled before the expiration of the petition. But in some cases that is not possible. I saw another K3 from Nigeria on here and they have their interview in March. Don't know if that is before or after the expiration of their NOA2.

I'm a K1 filer, my fiance went to the embassy on Tuesday, January 15, 2007 with a copy of NOA2, letter from NVC and his passport. They gave him both packets 3, 4 and his interview date. Packets 3 & 4, he will take back with him on his interview date. I called the State Department as well, they told me that my fiance could not go and pick-up his packets, that we would have to be patient until they were mailed to his home address, which I found out from several people here that's wasn't true.

Hope this help

Good luck1

Hi DJ

I thought the packages are sent from the Embassy. The state department only upload the information to the embassy and the hard copies sent from NVC. Are you sure the state department said they sent the package to your SO? That is kind of confusing. So I can understand your frustration.

I know that the DOS can give you the interview date once it's received at Lagos. From my experience, I called DOS and they gave me Hakeem interview date, only because the "hard copy" had been received from NVC in Lagos. Shortly after they gave me the interview date I received an email from the Embassy in Lagos stating the packages were ready for pickup and stating his interview date.

The embassy in Lagos are the only one that can schedule an interview.

Hope that helps.

I know that the DOS can give you the interview date once it's received at Lagos. From my experience, I called DOS and they gave me Hakeem interview date, only because the "hard copy" had been received from NVC in Lagos. Shortly after they gave me the interview date I received an email from the Embassy in Lagos stating the packages were ready for pickup and stating his interview date.

The embassy in Lagos are the only one that can schedule an interview.

Hope that helps.
