PhilippinesFiling the CR-1 Petition
Sorry, i forgot to ask, with the G325A, i will have 4 COPIES of the 1st page and only ONE copy on the second page, am i right here?

About sending the envelope to the USCIS, will i still put my address at the upper left hand of the envelope? or just the USCIS address itself?

Thanks again guys, you rock! I appreciate ALL your help and God Bless us all.

PhilippinesHow to secure New Passport
Hi fellow Vj's, just a quick question here, i am getting my new passport now using my new surname with my husband..i ask some of the people here in the travel agency, and they told me to get a CFO Seminar in Manila before getting a new passport with new husband surname, is that true? I got married Oct 29 and wanted to change my passport with new surname now..Will i not just go directly to DFA to secure a new passport with new surname without the CFO Seminar, since our petition will still be submitted after getting my new passport...Please help on what to do please? thanks alot and God Bless us all.

Philippineshusband adding me (wife) on his insurance after the wedding
Hello there fellow VJ's, just curious here, me and my fiancee got married in the Philippines October 29, 2009, and hubby went back in the US after a week, now, he is updating his insurance and he is about to put our names (me as his wife and two step-daughters) as his additional dependents, will that work? eventhough our petition is not yet approved / filed?

I appreciate your input on this matter. God Bless....anyone who have an idea on this matter?

PhilippinesDelay in Case processing because of Haiti Immigration

Hello,

I am new to Visa Journey and would like to know if there is anyone else whose case is being delayed due to the Haiti Immigration case that is being expedited at the moment? We have completed submission of all necessary documentation for our CR1 application to the NVC and my husband and I were just waiting for our case to be forwarded to the Manila US embassy so i can get my medical and interview appointment. It has been 6 weeks and up to this point, our papers have not left the NVC. Two weeks ago when we talked to the NVC operator, she apologized and told us our papers are complete but the backlog of the Haiti immigration has caused delays in alot of people's cases. Does anybody have the same dilemma?

Thanks!
