My TOR were not authenticated and it was accepted here for evaluation by AACRAO. Some Evaluating Agency will require that your school will send the TOR directly to them. In AACRAO they only asked for a copy.

hi riza! I have a question about evaluation at AACRAO. Did you send your secondary diploma to them? thanks. Your post is very helpful.

PhilippinesBombings in Mindanao
How I wish the war in Mindanao will end up soon...
Correct me if I'm wrong. The MILF attack a town in Lanao del Norte which is Kolambugan. They kill innocent people even kids if they will try to fight back. MILF has those leaders who will negotiate with the government. Why do these MILF's leaders will talk to their men and tell them to stop killing those innocent people who are doing their stuff not even bothering them. They are killing civilians which is very painful just to get what they want. They were given the Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao and still they want more.
This is not a war between Christians and all Muslims. I believe only those Muslim leaders want all of these to add their power and money. Of course they can get money from government for projects, and their IRA will be much much higher because they have a wider area.
Vjers let us pray for all people in Mindanao especially those in Lanao del Norte and Cotabato areas for them to be safe and away from harm. I still do believe that someday their will be PEACE(In God's time).

Hi guys, this is carlos and I have too many questions
Trin will have the interview one week from today and I am booking the flight tonight.
The airline is NWA all the way from Manila to Dallas but theres a plane change in Detroit.

*Is her Port Of Entry going to be Detroit or Dallas??

*If it is Detroit, how long would they keep us in Immigration office? (to chose a flight with enough time between flights)

*Will she be asked what will be her POE during or after the interview or does she have to show the ticket?

Any post will be helpful, Thanks


Hi! I think she needs to write the POE in one of those DS forms I forgot which form is it. She does not have to show her ticket. The embassy even discouraged buying tickets before getting visa.

I think she will need to write the POE at the CFO papers.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. My husband is 21 yrs my senior. I married him because I love him and I wanna grow old with him. We promise to stay together through thick and thin. Whatever problems that will come our way we will solve it in our own special way.

I agree that it's not only Filipina but also people from other countries. I suggest that before you get married you investigate and really know the background of the lady you are going to spend your life with. Just be vigilant and use common sense.

Hi there!

I love PBA, I like Eric Menk and Brgy. Ginebra team. I watched PBA with my family in Pinas. Me and my father will cheer for Brgy. Ginebra Kings and the rest will go for the other team. Kinda fun.

Now that I'm here in the US, my hubby loves football and I love it too. Our favorite is Tony Romo. I also liked the replacement of Bret Favre, Aaron Rogers.

I love to watch tennis too. I followed almost all the tennis events of the Wimbledon and US open.

My Aunt was so sad too when RAfa lost..anyways did you see Jaime Lee Curtis guested at THE View, she asked why Rafa kept on pulling his short near on his a$$$.. I noticed that too, was that a mannerism or not comfy with shorts?? I'm still at US open fever..


Yeah I noticed it too. Maybe he is not comfortable with his shorts. He should wear a comfy one. He is a great player though. I love them all. What's next with US open?

Did you see how Djokovic confronted the fans???He is good but I think confronting the fans is not a good idea. You can't see that attitude from Federer and Nadal..



I missed that part. I don't like Nole that much. I like Roger, Rafa and Andy. Williams sisters and hmmm maybe Jelena and the Chinese Zheng.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsCEAC showed "ISSUED"

 

 

Sorry for throwing a question about CFO. I realized you're still waiting for your Case Number.

As per VJ timeline, spousal visa approval's standard time is 8-14 mos. We're just on time, considering that a lot other members applied before us are still waiting for their NOA2's.

 

I am a Filipina but our case had been processed here in Thailand, since I work here.

 

You'll get there soon also.

 

Goodluck

 

Wow Congratulations once again! I can only imagine how terrible it is to find out you'll need to have the sputum test :( But it has all ended now praise God! 

 

Me here is crossing my fingers, hoping and praying hard not to be among those who will need to have a sputum test. ALthough I don't have any history of lung problems  or whatsoever I am still worried they might find something. 

 

But anyway, I am glad your long journey is over! 

 

Thank you for the wishes! :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsShould I worry about this?

Hello everyone! Just a quick question!

 

Do you guys think I would have a problem soon on the date of my interview because, I and my husband started chatting February 2013. He came to the Philippines June 1st, and we got married on the 29th. Then he came back to the U.S on July 3rd. Would the consul be suspicious about this because we met for only 4 months and got married right away plus my husband only visited here once.

 

In case you will ask, there's no question for love. We both love each other very much. In terms of the proof of relationship, I have all the evidence needed. I am just worried the consul might think I was just using my husband to get a Visa and a GC. I know I am just being paranoid here but I really would like to know what to expect in the interview so I can prepare myself. I want to stop stressing myself because i already have a lot of it with this Visa process. crying.gif

 

Thanks a lot for those who will give time to answer!! God bless you richly!

 

Regards,

Jane :)

That's good news, you have the same case with meegheni! (So I just copy pasted my comment in there to here hehe )

 

There's a high chance that your petition will be approved before on month of December ends or next year January. A lot of I130 petitions are transfered to different service centers for fast processing. smile.png

 

I was transfered in Texas Service Center November 22, and got approved yesterday December 4. Praise God!

 

Yours will surely be approved soon! Just keep the faith!

 

You don't have to do anything. A notice will be mailed to the petitioner/US Citizen saying that your  case is transfered. After that you only have to wait and keep checking USCIS website for the approval of your case.

 

Good luck and God bless you!


I was approved yesterday I mean, December 3. Hehe :)

Anyone here on the same stage like me??

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions On Transfered Case/Expedited/Name

Hi i will just answer #2 coz thats the only thing im sure of hehe smile.png actually ur case has already been automatically expedited. Thats why u were transferred to texas service center for further processing. Theyre currently pulling out all (mine though is still waiting to be transferred :/ ) cases with beneficiaries from the philippines and expedite their processing due to the typhoon. So u dont have to request for an expedite anymore.

As for #3, a filipina here in vj told me that the maiden name should be included in the nbi clearance.

 

Hello Krispykreme! 

 

Thanks for answering some of my questions. I'm really happy that this "expedite" thing sounds like a really good news. I hope yours will be transfered too soonest :D

 

Yes my NBI has my maiden name and my married name on it. Everything will be fine then I supposed? :)


janelance143MalePhilippines2013-11-28 01:56:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresQuestions On Transfered Case/Expedited/Name

Hello everyone!

 

I would like to ask three questions and I will appreciate it a lot if you can answer them to the most of your ability or knowledge. Thanks ahead!

 

1. Our CR1 Application was transfered in Texas Service Center last November 25. A notice came for my husband saying our case was transfered in Texas etch.etch,, Right now our status says a notice was generated regarding our I130 petition and that we will be updated until this notice is mailed, through checking thier USCIS website. Do you know what kind of notice was it? And how long does it take to arrive?

 

(By the way, have you ever tried checking your status in USCIS and it says Post Decision Activity, and then you were so surprised that you think its too good to be true so you clicked it again, entered you case number, and the 2nd time you checked it, it came back to initial review?? I swear it happened. I even printed it and saved it in my comptuer. Geez, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I just thought maybe their site got wild during that time. Anyway it was after that time when it said our case was transfered. Maybe it has something to do with the transfering stuff? Anyway, I just want to know if you've expereinced the same thing before.)

 

2. My second question is how do you request for an expedit processing? The thing is I'm a Filipina, and I read a news just now, posted by the USCIS last Nov15 that says Expedited processing of immigrant petitions for immediate relatives of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) for those Filipinos who were affected by the Typhoon Haiyan. How am I going to avail with that benefit? Is it automatic? My husband and I are waiting for 4 months now. It's not really that long yet but if you're given this chance or benefit of expediting the service why not grab the opportunity right? I'd like to hear your comments.

 

3. I'd also like to ask if its okay that my NBI (Police) Clearance and my Passport has my married name and not my maiden name? Because our I130 petition was under my maiden name and I thought I might have a conflict with that or something? Please let me hear your thoughts.

 

Thank you VJ people! I hope you guys can share what you know or any idea will do too.
