hello

i just want to know if i need to file I-824 form in uscis for k2 visa or "follow to join" they say i have 1 year to apply for my kids to come here in united state. thanks


you do not need to file the I-824. it's not one year to apply for a K-2 visa. the K-2 Visa will have to be issued within one year from the date your K-1 visa was issued. you contact the Embassy when you are ready to schedule an interview. make sure to allow enough time to schedule an interview.

Fiance Visa is non immigrant K-1 Visa. it's nonimmigrant since purpose is to travel to USA to get married and adjust status to remain. once married within 90 days of your entry, which is a requirement, you can apply for AOS to become LPR.


Thanks for the reply. just wondering, if i apply for AOS and my medical from PI was expire since it is only acceptable for 1 year, that means i'll have to undergo another new medical examination? i know my vaccination will only last for 12 months too...

just curious.. thanks for the reply in advance...


If it has been over a year since your medical at St Lukes, you probaly will need another one. bring your vaccinations records. you will only need the vaccinations you have not taken yet.

PhilippinesCheating
QUOTE (andrew&evelyn @ Sep 26 2008, 06:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
There are alot of factors to put into that too. Its no surprise when a 60 year old man marries an 18 year old filipina that she is going to cheat on him.

I personally believe that if someone is not a true born again christian, there is at least a 90% chance they will cheat if they are in the relationship long enough. Statistics also show that the divorce rate of born again Christians who attend church every week or read their bible every day is less than 5%. What is the divorce rate of regular people? 60%? 65%? Cant argue with statistics. The family that prays together, stays together.

Non-Christians are very likely to cheat. They dont see any consequences to their actions and they believe that if the spouse doesnt know about it, nobody is getting hurt.

I am pro children coming with their mother at the same time, but I understand everyone's situation can be different. whether same time or follow to join, the end goal is the same, to be together as a family.

Hi! Thanks for sharing... So the only thing that should be done is to mention my daughter's name on the application? Nothing more?
Does she need a passport for me to present to the embassy ??

Do you think she will be asked during the interview? Ofcse they would ask why not she wont go with me blink.gif silly question star_smile.gif




your fiance should have listed your daughter on the 129f that he submitted to USCIS. for your interview, you will be listing your daughter on the DS-156k that you will be submitting. your daughter does not need to attend the interview if she will not be applying for a visa at that time. If any questions asked, you would just say she is following to join. you do not need a passport fro your daughter at your interview. however, if she does not yet have one, get her one before you depart the Philippines.

it seems that whoever is adjudicating your case at NVC is not knowlegable on the Philippine Family Code. as a single mom, you have full custody of your child even if the biological father is listed on the child's birth certificate. maybe you could get a consult from an Immigration attorney here who deals with immigration from the Philippines.

How is that possible?

Can someone point me in the right direction.... headbonk.gif

If their check issued to the DHS has been cleared by the bank, then the case number is at the back of the cancelled check. good.gif good.gif good.gif



Thanks PEPE, since everything is electronic nowadays, I did think about looking in the back of it.
Thanks again...I will check it out



but they ask for the receipt number on the NOA, not the case number


The case number is the receipt number, ain't it?


the case number is not assigned until after NOA2 and the petition is sent to NVC. eros, you should be receiving your NOA1 in the mail in a few days. nothing much happens the first month after receiving your NOA1.
