HI VJ'RS,

I NEEDYOUR HELP!

ITS REGARDING MY POLICE CLEARANCE.THE NVC RETURNED A CHECKLIST TO ME:

POLICE CERTIFICATE: I'VE LIVED ON THE FOLLOWING PLACES;

CRAIG STREET.,SAMPALOC,MANILA, PHILIPPINES
GASTAMBIDE STREET, SAMPALOC, MANILA,PHILIPPINES

MY QUESTION IS: DO I HAVE TO OBTAIN A POLICE CLEARANCE FOR THE TWO ADDRESSES ABOVE?THEY'RE JUST THE SAME LOCALITY BUT ONLY A DIFFERENT STREET.

the bad thing is "i've already sent the police clearance with the address at craig street,sampaloc, manila without the police clearance statingthe adrees gastambide street, sampalovc, manila"

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN NVC SEND ANOTHER RFE (FOR THE SECOND TIME) TO ME?

I'M CONFUSED!PLEASE HELP!!!!

Required is a NBI clearance and a local police clearance for any city your spouse lived in for 6 months or more.

For sure if those addresses are listed on the biographical information.

Any thing less is will be puked back at you.

Hi,

I really appreciate your advices and info's. I guess i was just unlucky.I've even read lots of NVC articles,blogs etc.I really thougt NVC would not need my police clearance cause lots of relatives were not asked of this police clearances. I thought NBI clerance was enough.But its not.Lucky for those people who didnt experienced or wont experience the same thing.

And one thing,

My DS230 was returned to me because of my answer at N0.2 Other Names Used (maiden Name).Yeah, i've put my maiden name, but they told me its wrong.What the ??!k?Oh, visa journey is really a good forum site.Vj'rs are right I have to put my complete married Name not the maiden name.

Thanks again guys.

I hope everything goes smoothly.

DS-230 Question 29

YES, that is correct..

QUOTE (flicki @ Nov 11 2007, 01:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Simple question:

On the DS-230, Part II Q. 29, the petioner is the US Citizen, not the immigrating spouse, correct? This is the I-130 terminology I'm used to.

DS-230

The instruction given never said to type in CAPS so we just typed it in small letters. Hope our DS-230 forms will be ok really. Gud luck to all here.

QUOTE (lheeanne @ Nov 13 2007, 08:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If you use the fillable ds230 in acrobat it will let you use all caps letter.

After you print out the sheet, you can just hand written the word Present in #20

To my understanding your transcript will be enought. I don't know though I'm also in the same shape as you. I believe it won't hurt to send both the W-2 and the transcripts. Anyone else have any input to this topic?

Hi guys,

Quick question on the I-864EZ app. My husband ordered 3 years of tax return transcripts from the IRS and was planning to send that along with the I-864EZ app. Does he also need to send in the last years W-2 or is the transcript enough?

This is all that is being sent:

I-864 application forms
job letter
6 months worth of pay stubs
IRS tax transcripts for the past 3 years

are the W-2's required?

Thanks a bunch

Packet 4: Interview letter

YEAH REALLY, CONGRATZ TO YOU. I WAS SURPRIZED TO SEE YOU FINISH WITH THE NVC THAT FAST. CAN'T WAIT TO BE WHERE YOUR AT NOW!!!!

QUOTE (Medieval @ Nov 20 2007, 08:17 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

How long did it take in average for the petitioner then for the beneficiary to receive packet 4 (appointment letter) after you get to know from NVC that an interview has been scheduled. In our case we just came to know that an interview has been assigned last Friday the 16th, and the interview will take place on the Dec 10th. I am afraid there isn't enough time for the beneficiary to receive the letter. Any feedback is much appreciated!

USCIS is part of Homeland Security which also oversees Customs and Border Protection (the POE) every time you enter and exit the USA they scan your passport, and record your time that way. DHS shares this info with the consulate.

thanks for the response, but honestly, how affective is this system? maybe I'm wrong, but I have heard they usually don't have a clue considering all the glitches and screw ups.

The final say is on you but if I would you I wouldn't try to MESS up with USCIS and risk more trouble with Home Land Security. Gud luck on your decision friend!

Correct, what a parent or relative does has nothing to do with a person's visa application. The consular officer will not deny a visa application because of a parent's wrong doing.

HI Everybody,.originally, this topic is from the regional forum PHLIPPINES< but not much reply..so im here in the cr1 thread

Im Jeramie,. im a member of this forum for over a year already., and this forum really helped me with our visa journey.

me and my son were granted the k1/k2 visa last Feb.12,2007 . we flew to MN feb.16,2007, got married before i-94 expires.,

not all marriage life will turn out as a happy ending, and unfortunately, our marriage belongs to one of the sad stories,.. it didnt turn out good., we always argue, i miss my family, he's bipolar, has business,. it means, all stress and problems are there..i wasnt that strong for him, and . to make it short, me and my son went back to philippines Aug.3, 2007., without advance parole , we started the AOS but cancelled it anyway..

2months after we got home, my husband visited the philippines for 3 weeks, then he already booked a flight for december -march vacation., he'll be spending 4 months with us, ...

Now, we want to start the cr1/cr2 immigrant visa., but we dont have any idea on how to start, i dont even know whats in a i-130 package., the exact documents needed.,

i really hope you can help me with my situation here...

well, 2 months being separated, really helped us to realize lots of things (absence makes the heart grow fonder).. im not saying that we'll not gonna argue again, but now we realized if we both will not make this work out, then we'll not gonna be together anymore, and we are so determined to make this work out, and the spark is still there, its just that the adjustment period was really tough and we were not that strong to stand for each other, but LOVE IS SWEETER THE SECOND TIME AROUND ..hehhee..

oh well, back to my real issues,.i really hope that someone can enlighten us with our problems, i would really appreciate any help on this...

thank u so much. and GOdbless..

Yes make sure you staple your forms together but separately. I mean your I-864 together, then your transcripts together but still separately. And what I did is staple all past paycheck stubs together too. Yeah, even if I didn't put the case number on each paper I hope it won't be a problem since they are staple together.
