K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January 2010 K-1 Filers	Ohhhhhh, you have to register an account with USCIS. You create an account with your USCIS case number. Once you created that, then you log in and add you pending case to your portfolio. Then you can check status, add your email and cell info for updates, and you can see when your action was last updated. If that date changes from time to time, then your being touched. IDEALLY, you would get a cell txt message when your case is updated or when a decision is made. Don't you just love those little status circles...???? I keep trying to "mind will" my circle to the decision label, but not having luck with that... Now I know why I can't see any updates. I forgot to sign in in my account! I just opened the dashboard then type in our WAC # and all I saw was the "initial review". This is the result of being sooooooooo impatient on waiting for NOA2! But I am glad to know that at least I am not alone on this-- checking status at least 3x a day...	sunsetwishes	Female	Philippines	2010-02-21 21:31:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January 2010 K-1 Filers	Igor's List just tracks actions and sorts them in order. List is here. Igor's List If your last action date changes in USCIS then you been touched. Normally, you'll stay in initial review for about 3 months, but can go shorter or longer. Depends on your level of luck.. Thanks for the reply! But where to know the "last action date changes"? I don't see dates on the dashboard, only circles with corresponding labels.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	January 2010 K-1 Filers	Hi again! I have a few questions: First, what is Igor's list? Another, how to know/where to see the "touched" updates? I have signed up at USCIS' check case status and everytime I check, I only see "initial review". I don't see anything that says our case is "touched". Please enlighten me on these. Thank you...	sunsetwishes	Female	Philippines	2010-02-21 12:17:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	When the visa can be deliver	Hi wilgrace, I saw you visited my page... USEM will issue delivery of your visa the moment they receive the documents requested from you. We have similar situation when I had my interview. The Consul told me she would like NSO to send directly to USEM my CENOMAR and Annotated Marriage Certificate even if I had them on hand. I told her that the documents she was asking are the same documents she had in her hands, but to no avail. And so I ordered those documents online when I got home (April 28). I got my visa on May 15. Actually, air21 attempted delivery May 14 but I was not home. Did you order your CENOMAR online (e-census.com.ph)? It is easier and no hassles at all. They would send it to USEM directly. What's nice about it too is that you can check/track online the status of your request so you will have an idea if USEM receive the document already.	sunsetwishes	Female	Philippines	2010-06-05 08:55:00

Philippines	Culture, misunderstanding, or just plain used?	Ok guys, I have an interesting story to tell concerning a friend of mine and his filipina fiancee. I am just going to give the facts as I know them relayed to me by my friend and what his ex fiancee had said to him vs what she told my filipina. He is an american and shortly after I met my baby online nearly one and a half years ago, he went to a dating site and met his now current ex fiancee. She was working and has 2 kids, never married. He visited her for 10 days and came back and announced to me he was engaged and was filing for K1. I sorta advise him to know her better, as I had spent time with my fiancee about two months before that for 21 days and returned, but not engaged yet. I wanted to see her on a longer time frame before I went that step. Shortly after that he filed the K1. During the waiting for the NOA2, he revisited again but this time for 21 days. He was coming up on 7 months waiting and was approved while he was away. He came home and told me he was going to cancel the K1 and return in about 6 more months and marry and then revisit her every 3 months until she was approved and came to America. Now I could not understand the logic but the following was his explanation and where their breakup begins and I sorta cannot figure out if he is crazy or if she is just used him... My friend is a truck driver and always on the road, sometimes week and a half before he gets home. His last marriage broke up because he was gone a lot and the wife cheated and left him. He is real concerned about that happening again. He wants a family, but also time with them as a normal working person and not sporadic as being a truck driver can be. His home was foreclosed due to his divorce and he had a chance to move to his parents rent home with 5 acres as long as he paid the note on it. Currently renters stay there, so his plan was to cancel the k1, stay on the road, make oodles of money driving and pay the principle on the rent home, and since renters are there now paying the mortgage, he will pay extra for 2 years and own a home debt free, he could quit being a driver, get a regular lower paying job and be able to live easy life with filipina wife and her kids without fear of another foreclosure and home taken away, and fear of being away and fear of infidelity as with last marriage. It sounded ok to me, but I questioned that if he knew the girl really well, then the fear of the cheating would not be there. But stuff like that happens, so I understood his motif for thinking like that. He gave his fiancee the choice to come now on the k1 since it got approve or he could do as I said above and have a better future finacially. She chose the latter. After she made this decision he then returned home from 21 day trip, canceled the k1 and began his many days of driving. But now she has closed her phone and will not answer his emails. Now me and my fiancee were concerned so my fiancee called her at my friends request to talk to her. My fiancce had talked to her before so they knew each other by phone only but not really good friends. She told my baby that her pc was broken the last 3 days and was waiting for my friend to call, but he never has. She also expressed he was an indecisive guy and if he did not call soon to talk to her she would move on. She expressed how very hurt she was on him canceling the visa. But according to my friend, she decided to go that way and get married later and allow him to get finacially on his feet first. It is sad they stop talking. My friend is devastated cuz he gave her a $3700 ring before he left and she seemed very ok with his new plan and now cannot understand if she used him or not. She never really ever soliciated money from him during their online time together, seemed sincere whenever my fiancee emailed and talked to her. But according to what she tells my fiancee, her decision was based on him not being decisive and wishy washy in his decisions. Now, my fiancee and I have talked many times and I have come to the conclusion it is part of the filipino culture not to be too confrontational with anyone and say what you must to avoid trouble. If this is true, then she did that to my friend, even accepting his engagement ring. I really do not think she scammed or used him, but she did tell him it was ok for him to go the marriage route later, and if the k1 cancelation was a big hurt for her, she did not express it to him. There are other factors involved, so if you want to ask questions, I can give more info but will just keep this post at a reasonable size for now. I would like to hear opinions, especially from those that are currently married to filipinas and maybe about some culture issues. I am waiting for an my fiancee's interview in July, so I, myself will be married soon and could use some insight too. Thanks guys... edit... this was posted by me, uverseman, i was logged into my fiancee account and did not realize it. So the posters name is different..

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Police reports for OFW Filipinas in Kuwait	It's easier and faster to process in Kuwait if she's your wife already, but since she's fiancee, better to process her K1 in Philippines. If her contract in Kuwait is finish, she doesn't need Police Clearance from Kuwait, only Police Certificates from places she live in Philippines and had live for more than 6 months and NBI clearances in all names she uses. I had a friend who process her Fiancee visa in kuwait and was denied twice.
