Philippines2go pick up question

track your package her http://supplychain.2go.com.ph/ to make sure its in the branch you're expecting before you go down there. and i called their landline before i went to pick it up. I was so excited i got big plastic package.

 

I went home and when i open the package i found my envelope it has also contains another 2 visa with different consignee that don't belong to me! Just thinking it could also happen to me! I went back to 2GO office in a rainy day to give those back!

PhilippinesMonday and Tuesday for Medical, USEM interview Thursday enough time?

YES you can presuming nothing goes wrong with your medical it only takes 2 days or if you're done a day before your interview St. Lukes will let you hand carry your result to USEM during your interview. 

 

As for my experience, I was ask to return after 12 days since there's sexual contact in between unsafe days and can't received shots, and i was also referred to personal evaluation because of my prescription meds which i didn't bring my cardio med. certificate during the physical exam that supports it.

 

If things doesn't goes smoothly on your medical you will be ask to cancel your interview and St. Luke's will be the one to reschedule it for you.

 

But, I didn't wait for st. luke's to schedule for me coz we're on a hurry so I re schedule myself online and was interviewed on July 30 WITHOUT vaccination. I was approved but got 221g for medical release. And because St. Luke's had typo error on my docs they have to wait for the doctor to sign in. They forward my medical on August 5 at the same time my status was changed to ISSUED. on 7th 2go picked up my visa and received in our province on Aug 8th.

 

Just shared my experience so you will have idea if there's some thing out of our control happened during the medical.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresTerminated I129-F
We applied K3 last 2007 and was interviewed after 8 months, they want us to submit affidavit of support but by that time our income is less than the poverty level so we just agree to live together in the Philippines, Now we plan again to go US and try our luck there. No problem with our income now coz it exceed the 2012 poverty level(SSD Benefits both Me and son =2500++/mo) . Now here's my question 1. Is our case really terminated? that was 4 years ago or is there any way we can continue it?

believed it was terminated, we sent 2 packages to my mom in texas last July. Made her mail the first package I130 to az lock box, and instructed her to mail the 2nd package (129-f) once she received the NO1. All docs was signed on the same date! Is it okay?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIR2/CR2
We're applying for K3 visa. Since I live here in the Philippines we mailed the packages to my mom, and she's the one who sent the I 130 package to AZ lock box, by searching and reading here the procedures, we decided to abandon the K3 application and continue with the IR-1 / CR-1...

Problem: I only applied for my wife's i-130.

Question:

1. Do I need to apply another one for my step child (7 y/o)?
2. If Yes, Can I send i-130(IR2/CR2)packet to AZ lock box using my address in the Philippines? Or do I need to send to my mom and let her send the package again to AZ?
3. Do I need to pay separate for my step child's application?
4. If yes, Do they accept western union fee from the Philippines?
5. I have a son with her now 5 y/o, Got him US passport already, a friend said he also need Philippine passport, is this true? is my son a dual citizen? if yes until when? or is it for lifetime?


please help...

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresGot IR-1 / CR-1 and K3 NOA1 at the same time!
We sent IR-1/CR-1 and K3 at the same time, now we got noa1 for both of them. what we need to do to Inform USCIS we will just continue the k3 instead of IR-1/CR-1? I would like to continue the IR-1/CR-1 but it will just take us further delays because we need to apply and pay another one for my daughter (child from previous relationship). Where as in K3 my daughter is already included in the application.Can we call Manila office for this? My husband is a natural born USC and is living with us in the Philippines for over 7 years now, can it affect his US domicile status? We have a son together and his philippine passport expired last June, do we still need it to be renewed since he already have a US passport?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIR-2 / CR-2 and AOS questions
Good day! My husband filed K3/I-130 and believed that K3 is obsolete so we just go with the I-130 route. But the problem is we didn't filed application for my daughter(child from previous relationship) with it.

Now my husband want to send application for my daughter, Do we need to mail it via DHL direct to Lee summit Mo., where our I-130 is being transferred? they will probably just meet there :), I don't know or it will just delay our application? Or what if we will send tru Direct Consular filing in Manila to catch up the processing time? is there is anyway my husband can just mail our application for my daughter in Manila office, he is on disability and find it hard to travel back and forth in Manila, and we are not rich, we try to save money for our interview and medical (me and my daughter), hotels, tickets to go US just in case we got approval.

Another question is 4 years ago I was interviewed in US embassy Manila, they want us to submit my husband's W2 and Tax return but that time my husband is on "Trial Work Period" and my husband is back from US and can't able to work anymore so we decided not to continue our visa application but as years passing by we want to move to US. My husband's only income is only $30,000/yr, combined with our son's benefits, is it enough to show for AOS? or we need somebody who can sponsor us? Do we still need to submit the W2 because he is just receiving SSD?

Please anybody can advise?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Proceduresembassy letter, need guidance and understanding!
10 minutes after i post this topic on VJ http://www.visajourn...-aos-questions/ i open our email and found this email from US Embassy Manila.

this is my email to us embassy manila last august 7, 2012 (before sending new k3/i-130- application)

From: ****************
Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2012 2:36 PM
To: Manila IV Correspondence Unit
Subject: K3 Visa we applied last 2007

We applied K3 last 2007 and was interviewed after 8 months, they want us to submit affidavit of support but by that time our income is less than the poverty level so we just agree to live together in the Philippines, Now we plan again to go live in US as I missed my family and my disability getting worse. Is our case really terminated? that was over 4 years ago or is there any way we can continue it?


Thank you,

*we got automated reply says: We forwarded your communication to the processing team concerned for appropriate action. We will notify the applicant once further information is available. from us embassy.

On September, we believed that our application is terminated my husband file a new application k3/i-130 and got NOA1 last september 2012. Just today i received an email from us embassy that confused me!


Dear Ms. *****

Records indicate that on September 10, 2012, we sent the applicant a letter on how to proceed with the case.
Attached is the scanned copy of our letter for your reference.
We will resume processing the case once we receive the requested documents.

This is in reference to your K3 nonimmigrant visa petition still pending in this office. Your K3 petition is still open, so you can proceed with it. We also find a record of an IR1 petition, EAC**********, which was approved on 21Dec2007, which you can pursue as an alternative, although we do not yet have the documents from NVC, and your petitioner will have to request that they be sent to us.

In either case, we will require documents, you should submit the documentation to the US Embassy via any branch of 2GO courier service (Attn: Immigrant Visa Branch with a copy of this letter and the 2GO Courier Submission Letter (see attached).

Future written inquiries regarding this case may be sent by email at IVManilaReplies@state.gov


(we never get that hard copy postal mail because we moved 3 years ago to our present address)

Confusion:

in my understanding, the letter means that we can continue our 5years old application? why it says we got approved on 21Dec2007, where in fact that date is when my husband send our first i-130 application in US.

what we're going to do now? send the documents requested to the embassy using our old Case Number? What about our new application which is still pending in Lee's Summit?

Please need guidance here!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresFiance Visa NOA2 expired in May, ready to file I-130 instead
just want to share the NVC's email to us after 1 year of noa2... hope this will help you...

The referenced application for an immigrant visa went through the
termination process and was destroyed in accordance with INA 203(g). An
alien's registration for an immigrant visa shall be terminated if,
within one year after notification of the availability of an immigrant
visa, the applicant fails to apply for an immigrant visa.

If the beneficiary wishes to immigrate, the petitioner must file a new
petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS -formerly
known as INS). You may contact them at 1 (800) 375-5283 or visit the
CIS web site for additional information at www.uscis.gov.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresCan we send I-130/IR2 application direct to NBC?

No. He needs to follow the instructions for Form I-130. The instructions will direct him where to send it to the USCIS lockbox. He cannot go outside of the prescribed procedure to send it to another agency. The NBC will not accept an I-130 submitted directly to it.

When your husband sends the I-130 in, he should ask for an expedited review and reference your case. That may help speed things up.

------------

If you had only come here 73 days earlier. We would have told you the K3/K4 was worthless when you file for an IR1/CR1. When you file both at the same time, the K3/K4 will be denied once the I-130 is approved for the CR1/IR1.

Everyone - don't waste your time and money on the K3. Just file for the CR1/IR1.


Okay, Thanx God i post here first before sending the package, I don't mind printing again my cover letter and change my headings to Phoenix, After all the paper-works and headaches, I don't want to make mistakes again. Thanks again for the advise, it saved us!!!

We just recently approved with our I-130 application in 73 days, thanx God to it but since our IR1/CR1 application was approved instead of our K3/K4 means that we need to file a separate petition for my child (in previous relationship) this time we need to be hurry so she can catch up with me. Before we send to Phoenex and then they forward to California and we received a noticed it was forwarded again in NBC Lee's Summit, Mo! My question is can my husband send I-130/IR2 application for my daughter direct to NBC?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresMedical Exam not yet complete - Interview with Embassy on Monday - HELP

1.  go to the interview without completing the medical exam and 

2.  expect to get a 221g about the medical exam and 

3.  ask for a pass to return to the embassy for tuesday and wednesday (both days, just in case) and

4.  go back to the medical place after the interview is finished and 

5.  finish up with the medical and 

6.  hand carry the medical stuff into the IV unit, using the pass obtained back on step 3. 

 

That's about all I can think of, for now.  

 

thanks this will also applied to us, we're done with the interview but need to go back because we have sexual contact on my "unsafe days" and can't given a shot.
