Philippines	CFO counselling	QUOTE (shallan @ Feb 15 2008, 08:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello Guys, Yesterday Neren and I went to Prism for the counselling. We were late because we dropped by at BPI Ermita for Visa payment. The counsellor told us to just filled out the form we paid the php250 and just comeback on Monday. When the lady took us pic i told her we couldnt make it on Monday because our flight going back to Mindanao will be Today/saturday. So she said OK JUST PLEASE WAIT FOR ME OUTSIDE I WILL BE THE ONE TO GIVE YOU THE SEMINAR. We waited for like 30 minutes. She prepared her laptop and gave us a quick seminar about kinds VISA'S- CFO STAMP- WHAT ARE THINGS THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE IMMIGRATION like pirated cd's and so on. Then thats it! There was no film showing for us Then she first called me to the room and ask this questions: A. HOW DID YOU MET YOUR FIANCEE MAM B. DID HE MET YOUR PARENTS YET? C. HOW MANY TIMES HE VISIT YOU HERE Then she said PLEASE WAIT OUTSIDE MAM I WILL JUST PRINT YOUR CERTIFICATE. Neren and I got the certificate after 10minutes. Another Bingo!

Philippines	Roserick IR-1 Interview Experience	QUOTE (Roserick @ Feb 19 2008, 11:45 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alright.. So my wife had her Interview today Feb 20, 2008 @ 8:30am We went to the Embassy at around 7:30am.. We got in fast upon the guard seeing that we have a 8:30am Interview.. Upon going to the Ticket booth to get our ticket.. We had a good vibes.. Does people in there greeted us nicely and politely, they even played with my daughter then told us to take a seat... After 10 mins.. My wife's name was called over the microphone for Fingerprinting.. WoW!! She did it in 1 shot. Then the lady asked us to take a seat again and wait for our number to flash on the screen.. Upon seating for about 5 mins our number flashed on the screen and was suggested to go to window 28 for the Filipino Pre-screener.. The Prescreener was a very friendly man, he greeted us nicely. and asked for the needed documents politely. Here is what he asked us.. Is he the petitioner = YES Asked me on when I arrived in the Philippines, asked me if our daughter has her US passport already and asked for a copy of the Consular Report or Passport.. We gave her Copy of Consular Report. Asked my wife how did I get to the US. Asked my wife what do I do for a living, Asked for proof of bonafide marriage.. We gave our photo album which did fit on the slot, when he went through the pictures he said its enough and just present any other documents on the Interview room with the consul. He went over my I864.. He sees that my Income is on the Border line.. He asked for my 2007 ITR which I said I didn't have.. (oppsss) then asked if I have a co-sponser (sigh) YES!! and I presented my prepared Co-Sponsor I864.. (Thank God). After that he just told us to go back to our seat and wait for our number to flash on screen again for CO Interview.. 15 mins has passed.. Number flashed on the screen, (Anxious and nervous) Upon going inside the CO Interview room. (WoW!! the CO is a lady.. ) Me and my wife greeted the CO good morning and she also greeted us nicely and played with my daughter a lil bit before going through our paper works... She didn't even asked my wife anything... She took a look at our photo album and was impress on how organize our pictures were.. CO started questioning me on what do I do for a living, Asked me to explain what I really do, and if my daughter has her US passport already and she just said ("Whoa.. That makes my job a little easier") After that she just told my wife that she will love NYC and telling her its very cold and time is very fast.. She didn't say anything about APPROVED but she was talking to my wife about that she will get a VISA and their just waiting for NSO to send the result of the Document Verification to the Embassy. I was like I already paid for it 3 weeks ago and she was like that's good and just told me she has no control over the Docs Verification Processing.. FYI: Also she told me.. Not everyone is needed for this.. I guess we were just randomly picked. She even told me that she herself believe our relationship its just that its a policy that's out of her hand.. After that she told us to wait outside and we will be called again for releasing.. After getting out we haven't even gotten a seat and we were called again over the microphone to proceed to Window 37 for releasing.. We went to window 37 and was instructed to pay for Docs Verification and Delivery fee.. I was like I already paid for the Docs Verification fee 3 weeks ago.. The clerk was shocked and told me that's a instruction that a CO would decide and I was like it is on their website to pay for the fee 3 weeks before the Interview.. After that she gave us the pink slip and told us to go to the Delbros booth to pay for the delivery fee.. We went to the Delbros booth and paid the Delivery fee, even Delbros don't know what's going on with Docs Verification.. 9:30am we got out the Embassy and had a brunch @ Chowking.. So I'm a bit happy that the Interview is done and a bit dissapointed and confuse about where I stand.. Thank You all and Good Luck to all upcomming Interviews.. Hope you like my experience.. Congratz buddy, I knew you can do it. We are both so happy for both of you!	djturbo	Male	Philippines	2008-02-20 00:52:00

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	Petition now at NVC	QUOTE (Tash @ Jan 9 2008, 01:02 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi all, Just got the wonderful news that my case (I-130) has been received at the NVC. I actually got an email from them stating it was received with my assigned NVC case number. The funny thing was that the email was a reply to an inquiry I emailed them about. I wrote them asking if they received my case since it was approved by email on Dec 11, 2007 and it's going on 3 weeks and I haven't received the NOA2 by mail. I was always checking the automated system and I would get the same message that it either has not been received or I input the incorrect case number. Up to yesterday I was still getting this message, but then today the message stated my case was entered January 3, 2008. Hmmmm..... I just want to know if anyone has have their case received at NVC but still haven't received the NOA2 by mail yet? I'm giving them until 30 business days from the approval notice before I contact them again as I was advise to do so. Also is this notice relevant? Does the beneficiary have to bring this to the interview? Congratulations!!!!!	djturbo	Male	Philippines	2008-01-09 10:17:00
