IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJune 2013 I-130 Filers (merged)
Hang on tight everyone, you are not alone.
im feeling more pressured and deppressed coz all filipinas was already approved month of november and december because of typhoon yolanda. But i was left behind because of this RFE hard copy we still didnt received until USCIS admit their fault. May i just ask if what does EXPEDITE SERVICE REQUEST means? The officer in yhe USCIS main office told to my hubbu that he will send expedite service request to CSC where our case was transferred. I am confuse if they will rebiew our case again and will make decision? Or does it mean theywill send RFE hard copy again and we need to wai again. They've wasted 2 months.

My case was transferred month of November2013 and we received an email but its for RFE. We didnt receive the hard copy ,my husband was here in the philippines so we didnt make any move until he came back in US dec 29. They told us they will send the hard copy agsin and wait for 15 days.weve waited and nothing. We called again and they told us to wait fir another 15 days again. 15 days is over again and nothing. I keep on telling to myself to be patient but its so frustrating going through this. Im a Nurse and not working now because of waiting for this visa. :(

I am a june filer...yes beneficiary is from philippines but the address is in Kuwait so we didnt get the benefit of being automatic expedited because of yolanda typhoon. But our case was transferred November 24 and then we received email for RFE on December 11.
And oh our case was transferred in CSC

Jeeze, maybe I should ask for an expedite.... Do you think the lazy USCIS  employees will realize my husband lives in Costa Rica,  Not the Phillipines??? 
 
If you aren't affected by a natural disaster, why would you even think of asking to be expedited because of it???    
 
 
 
OH, and by the way.... incase you haven't noticed,  WE ALL WANT OUR CASES APPROVED REALLY FAST......   duh...






Chill..I dont have a plan to expedite my case because im not from affected place and I dont want to screwed my application...its better if we will be nice to each other..

Dont attack her, like us, she is just desperate to make her case approve really fast. When she saw someone posted that he applied for his case to expedite because of thypoon happened in the philippines, she didnt think of immorality, ethics, she just think of her case, her husband, herself. But pls try to understand everyone here. We all want our case to be approve..the soonest. Anyway she didnt reply anymore so I think she knew she was wrong. Anyway even we are not from the place being affected with the thypoon..we are all griefing for what had happened to our fellow filipinos. And dont worry even if she apply to expedite her case, USCIS might be lazy but not stupid to give approval if the applicant is not from the place affected, peace everyone, just smile, december is our month...fingers crossed

Im a newbie here..we also filed our application last May. My husband is in US right now and my and my son is here in Phil. We got married Nov 2011 and we stay in kuwait for one year. I miss my husband so much. He just checked a site which he learned that USCIS is still working on Oct 2012 filers. So when I heard that I was disappointed. 2012? So how long it will take for them to work on our application.? I cant wait to be with my husband again.

PhilippinesCFO SEMINAR CONCERN
You can have a seminar without your passportbut you need to come back when you received your passport because they will put sticker on it. Better if you just wait to have your passport with you so you dont need to come back. But there is cfo office inside the airport, they told me you can get the sticker there just show the receipt. Pero mas mganda mging sure n din, just wait for your passpport. Kalahating araw lang naman un.

Buying a ticket flying to Singapore is more expensive, risky, than just to attend half day seminar. Beside your finace will learn something from seminar.
I attended the seminar because it is one of the requirement to change my family name to my married name in my passport.

PhilippinesReleasing of Visa

Anybody know how much time I would add on if she had it sent to Ballesteros (northern province) instead of Manila?  I want her to spend her waiting time with her family in the province instead of idling in Manila, but not if it will add weeks onto the time.
 


if iWere you, you should do pick up. They are doing that pick up inside the mall.they will call or send text message to your fiance. Remember the visa should be handled with care. They you can book het flight as soon as they called that your visa is ready to pick up.

PhilippinesPhilippines: CFO Online Appointment System effective May 15, 2014
I went to CFO before , I still dont have visa, actually its still on USCIS. But because its a requirement to change my family name to my married name, they let me. And I was instructed just to show the visa when I have it so they can put sticker on my passport. They just gave me a certificate after ther seminar. And oh I get there 7:30 in the morning, and the seminar started 9:00am.

PhilippinesCFO seminar question
No need to attend seminar again. Just present the certificate she had received when she attended the seminar, together with her visa (when she already have it) then they will just put sticker on her passport then she is ready to go.

PhilippinesMy wife and her "other" husband
You need first to annul themarriage in the philippines if the marriage is registered in NSO. Just present the divorce paper to an attorney in the philippines, it will take one month for yhe process. After that they will issue a decision and that paper need to present in NSO. You will wait another weeks, maybe 2-4 weeks before it will be registered. Then thats the time you can get a CEMAR, in which the two marriages iswritten but the marriage with the korean is null and void.
here in the philippines, they didnt recognize the second marriage as legal if the first marriage is still not annuled.

PhilippinesCFO sticker
She needs to go back to the CFO office and show her visa, the CFO certificate (given to her when she attended the seminar) together with her passport. The CFO officer will be the one who will put the sticker on her passport. Thats how they explained it to me when I attended the seminar.
