USCIS Service Centersnov filers already approved
I share the same sentiment as you... I guess it is their luck to be approved in just 31 days without expediting it but what about those who has been waiting for months? It is unfair... :(

Africa: Sub-SaharanThe feeling you had seeing your boo in person the first time!

Such a nice love story... Each person here has his/her own to share.. And everytime  I hear or read someone sharing it, it makes me smile and realize how great love is. And YES i still remember the very first time I saw my fiance then but husband now.. It was like time froze for a minute and this undescribable feeling just envelopes you..

 

Keep the love burning! and Good LUck on the Visa process...

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Appointment Letter?? NVC?

Since it is from NVC it is a real deal.. I guess that email was just a response from your inquiry about your case. You will receive an Interview Appointment Letter from the US Embassy Manila soon which you will bring with you on your Interview Day and whenever you will go to your Medical exam if you haven't done it yet.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionInterview Schedule

 Hi, nevermind she got an earlier date now. Her fiance called up USEM and gave him the June 13th. Now my question is what is the requirement for her to get in St. Luke's? Does she needs the NVC letter? Back in my days 2008. They only need the visa interview schedule letter that was emailed by USEM. I printed it out and showed it to St. Luke's. I know that now there are so many changes especially the online scheduling. We don't have that before.

By the way, Im Moneth... Glad that your friend got an earlier date now.. As for the Medical, she just needs to have the Interview Appointment Schedule... The NVC letter is just needed if they dnt have the Interview Appointment Schedule yet... then she just have to pre register on the St. Lukes Medical page and bring with her passport ID photos... and her passport maybe too for identification...

PhilippinesAdoption Questions...
Hello Everyone!

I really don't know if it is right to put this topic here coz i know not everyone can relate but i know that in one way or another i can get answers from here.
My fiance applied for a K1 visa and it is still on process now.. if things will go right and i get approved, I will be traveling with my daughter who will be on a k2 visa. Just earlier today we talk about what will be best for my daughter so we came to a point that we talk about of him adopting her. We really don't know the exact process of adoption in the United States. So im here to ask what things or documents do i have to prepare here in the Philippines so we can go about the Adoption process once we get to the US.. We just want to prepare the necessary documents now.

I would really be glad and appreciate it if anyone can share their insight or can give me an answer... Thanks...

PhilippinesSurvey about wedding bands

That's great. My fiancee and I are in a debate over matching bands. I want Titanium cheap $50 band. She wants matching yellow gold. Simple prices as we picked out everything for less than $400 and he diamond too. Good thing Filpinas have small hands. 1/8-1/4 carret looks big on tiny hands lol..


We will be having matching bands.. we decided to have yellow gold coz he bought me an engagement ring on a yellow gold setting so have to match it up with the engagement ring too... yeah i agree with you! we do have small hands.. i myself have just a tiny diamond on my engagement ring but it looks perfect.

PhilippinesSurvey about wedding bands

I think any gift of love to her is a sign of your commitment.

I'm not rich, I bought a 1ct solitare with 4 small diamonds for the engagment. I should say, I haven't showed her this nor gave it to her but will in Cebu on April 1st. I really hope she says YES! I know she excpects it as I officialy asked her to be my girlfriend last November and she said yes. So strange to an American that I had to court her for a time before I could call her my Girlfriend. And Yes, I had to ask her properly. I LOVE this about my Pinoy. I already bought a matching wedding band with 6 diamonds as a band. I took a long time finding the right ring and I know her so I'm confident that she will like the ring of promise to love her and she will wear it proud.

PS. Do Filipinos wear wedding rings on Right or left hand? In most European countries they wear it on the right hand.

Brad


wear it on the left...

PhilippinesAffidavit of Support(I-134) Question...
We just got Approved(NOA2) and we are starting to gather up documents needed for the Interview. I have a daughter who will be coming with me(K2). So i am wondering if during the Interview in the US Embassy will I have to submit a separate form I-134(Affidavit of Support) for her and also the tax transcripts, w2, letter from employer, etc. to support the form I-134... Or the one filled for me is enough?

Hope you guys could help me with this... Thanks...
Michael-MonethFemalePhilippines2013-03-08 10:11:00

PhilippinesQuestions about CFO...
I know I have to go to a CFO Seminar soon before or after I get my K1 Visa so I could get the CFO Sticker and Certification... the thing that I am concerned about is for my daughter(K2) who is just 7 yrs old and would be traveling with me. i know she don't need to attend any seminar since the other seminar are for the teens... Should I be filling out a form for her, the CFO PDOS Pre-Registration form too? pay for it and had her passport get a stamp or sticker also?

Hope you guys could enlighten me with this... Thank you!

PhilippinesCFO Seminar in Manila (May 30, 2013)

I'll be doing CFO soon and when I checked their website they require 2 valid IDs... So I guess they mean government issued identifications... All I have is my passport and NBI clearance.. Would that be OK? or I need another one? Thanx...
