K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	CSC APPROVAL 8/10/06	I am shaking, crying, and in total shock. I woke at 2:00am, saw email alerts, clicked it out of habit, and we ARE APPROVED!!!!!!! Congratulations! We should receive ours too soon! We have the same NOA1 and RFE reply dates...where is our NOA2???	jo&john	Male	Philippines	2006-08-12 04:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Is it possible to get approved in one week?	I sent in my petition and told them I didn't have any money. I told them I would send them the money when I get it and to continue processing my papers. I did the same thing for my mortgage payment...it seems to be working fine. I want to know who your mortgage company is... I'll switch, even if it IS at a higher rate! it's Countrywide...it works well if you don't answer your phone and keep a shotgun in your house to scare away all the visitors. Hahahahaha...really???...John is with Countrywide... Jo	jo&john	Male	Philippines	2006-08-13 00:52:00

That field on my "snail mail" form is blank. Anyone having date written on priority date on NOA2?	jo&john	Male	Philippines	2006-08-19 08:05:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Did somebody already get his post-IMBRA NOA2 by snail mail?	Thanks Danny&Adri, miker32us...so blank priority dates...the post-IMBRA NOA2 gave a lot of tension prior to its release...we are still waiting for ours ...just wondering how long would it take for the interview to happen after the post-IMBRA NOA2 ...just praying for no more stressfull waiting for those approved	jo&john	Male	Philippines	2006-08-01 10:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Did somebody already get his post-IMBRA NOA2 by snail mail?	Hi.. surely, those approved as of date were the ones who sent back their RFE replies immediately and acknowledged by USCIS (between 6/23-7/08) and yes, ahead than ours..."i see some stick-on papers with numbers as they come." ..however, will the dates for the interview schedule be based on the NOA1 received/receipt date??? Did somebody already get his post-IMBRA NOA2 by snail mail? If so, what is the date written on your priority date on NOA2? Is it the received/receipt date (not the notice date) on your NOA1? Praying for speedy approval of all who are patiently, some and waiting. Give us more strength, Lord. Congratulations to those with NOA2s and more power to your journey!	jo&john	Male	Philippines	2006-08-01 03:32:00

I wish I had returned the RFE sooner.

Anyone out there with RFE from around the 28th???? Good luck to all of us as we deserve to hear some good news We also should have sent our RFE reply immediately...we wanted to be sure what to be put in the form...a yes or a no..took us 5 days...but took about 12 days for CSC to receive it!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Lots of question - first time poster	------------------- Question about my fiances son: Do we need a notarized permision for the kids biological dad to be able to come here with my fiance? ------------------ Hi...here is information regarding travel clearance of a minor in the Philippines: "A travel clearance from the DSWD is not required by a minor traveling to a foreign country with both or either parents or with his/her solo parent or legal guardian. ". So, your fiance can bring her son without a travel clearance since her son is traveling with her..as amended Here is a link to this website (Embassy of the Philippines: Ammendments to Omnibus Guidelines for Minors Traveling Abroad): http://www.philippin...ex.cfm?GPID=117 Good luck! that requirement shows what the government of the Philippines requires for minor children to travel abroad. It is not what the US consulate will require to give a visa. You will need either consent of the father or a court order. Doesn't the OP's fiancee have full custody of her son as stated in her Declaration of Finality of Absolute Nullity of Marriage? Wouldn't this suffice? In my case, I do have full custody of my minor daughter as stated in the Court Decision (Annulment). I also have a Permanent Protection Order relative to R.A. 9262 (Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004) granting me full custody of my daughter; my ex is not allowed by the court to come near us (including my 2 other children) within 200 meters nor even communicate to us directly or indirectly. Would the Consulate still require me to ask the consent of my daughter's father? Jo I have no idea what their document says, they didn't mention it. Is the full custody statement enough for the consulate? ... You would have to ask the consulate. Is a Protective Order adequate? ... You would have to ask the consulate. In any event, the reason for not needing the father's consent would not be the link you provided. The legal documents that you have may be valid alternatives. What I previously stated was that either the father's consent or a court order would be required. It appears that you may have the requisite order depending on what the consulate accepts. I do not know the nature or wording of what the OP has. Just because a marriage is annulled doesn't mean a father gives up all rights to his children. Thanks for the enlightenment. God bless!
