USCIS Service Centerschange approval date feb 1 to march 10
I just add this her if anyone looking a for the same answer.
1: Check with USCIS cause they seem to hold approved petition and look over them again (UNKNOWN REASONS)
2: Remember to message your congressman (fax,e-mail,phone) any method available to you
I
also call and check with USCIS.My petition was approved Feb 1ST.It been 1 month and NVC never got it.Now,They told me it was amended and re-approved for March 10th.I still gonna send in my info that I can hopefully be better this time.It's at least look like the congressman office is doing there job unlike USCIS.Now,I just need to wait and see if NVC get it within the 2 weeks or 3 weeks of approval.

Well,No comments for this,but I seem to got my answer on my own.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)approved feb 1st NOA2
Yeah,I talked to a person from USCIS and NVC.I'm think I'm going crazy.I nearly calling NVC almost every day.I try keeping my fiancee calm by telling her that it a good thing.In fact it like I'm waiting for something to happen when it should have been mail out before.You would think that approved petition are collected and mail at a surtend time to be taken to the correct embassy.I just imagining it now.My petition on the way to mail room. Oops ,It falling on the floor and pushed under someone messy desk or slide beside 2 cabinets . :rofl:

National Visa Center (Dept of State)approved feb 1st NOA2
I called USCIS and NVC they both saying same thing.They telling me it take up to 90 days.That really make me mad.I see alot cases approved and sent and recieved by NVC in 1 week or 2.I feel like im on the old timeline for K-1 visa waiting fro 7 months up to a year.It's sad to me see other after approved and the process spends up.It feel like hell when mines feel it slows down for no reason .I can only gues that they mail me my NOA2 aqnd never mail my package to NVC.I message my congressman like a nice person on here told me to try.I stil ahve not gotten a response from them also.I think I understand people more when things like this happen and they start go crazy.I even startoing to consider another option that leave me in a bind,but feel it only way for me to be with the women I love.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 affidavit of support
I make more then the 125% poverty guideline,but it only about (20,160 ~ My current income).The embassy is asking fro 18,212.I get a raise every 2 months for a year.I figure I will get about 2 more raises before the interview .My estimated total would be 21,120 or 22,080 in bout 4 months.I only curious will that be fine.I have other options to consider that can help,but I trying to avoid the co-sponsor.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionI-134 affidavit of support
I curious I been reading bout the affidavit support in the forum.I hear people say they make a little above the poverty guideline but still need a co-sponsor.I think for 2 people at 125% you need to make 18,212.How much more do you need to make above that to not have to use a co-sponsor?

PhilippinesWhat if your girl is at the bottom of the Philippines
QUOTE (Filipina Lover @ Jul 7 2009, 08:28 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
If your girl is at the bottom of the Philippines, does that mean she has to go to Manila for the medical exam and then back up Manila for the interview and then Back up to Manila to pick up the visa and package?

How does that work.

She can go to Manila and go back home.You should have stay with family if she have in Manila or have her spend time in hotel .The embassy will mail the package to her.If she have a postal ID and the embassy have her address.She get her visa in bout 5 to 7 days.So,there be no need to make 2 trips to Manila.Plane tickets cheap so should be no problem.

PhilippinesK-1 Visa & Affidavit of Support
I plan to submit my I-129F Petition end of this month.I check many time and get different answer from many people.I''m told that US Embassy in Manila don't accept co-sponsorship.I only make minimum wage at $7.25(about $13,050 a year.) I'm a student in college also and I think i will need a second or better job.I talk with her about joining the Navy or Army and finish school later.If anyone had any experience with the co-sponsorship and passed with a co-sponsor at U.S Embassy Manila.?

Philippinesneed cancel k-1 visa..faincee refuse to go U.S
Thanks!! All of your post was helpful.The business is in her name and she doing good with it.I do speak tagalog a little and working on learning visayas.We have talked and she compromise with me that she stay 5 years and go back.Of course,she want me to join her.I already know her intentions is not bad.I at least see it as a chance to change her mind further.I would not mind to live there but only in good conditions.I have a good saving for now,but I still at least want be more prepared.I'm a old fashion type of guy with old type of belief.There is some advice given that conflicts with my beliefs.I never believe that just cause something hard relationship it's best to leave or end it.I do love her and many times she shown me that her feelings is true.

Thanks again everyone.I use my chance to change things and if I have do what best to save relationship.
Best of luck to you all for sharing you experience and stories.

Philippinesneed cancel k-1 visa..faincee refuse to go U.S
This is hard to explain to anyone and maybe will sound strange.My fiancee since the seond month of the NOA1 she has refuse to come live in America.I asked her the reason she has given me many.Strangely,There is 1 other option if i want to be with my love.She wants me to go there.I know the conditions for the 13(a)Permanent Residence Visa, and other option to stay there.I willing to do it if it what takes be with the women to be my wife.We talk it with family members and friends.I will cancel the visa a few days from now.I give her time to see her if change mind.We have a small store already in philippines and and few other small businesses.We agreed on a 6 month to 12 months saving period to improve things before plans to go.I don't know what to do.

Do anyone have advice or ideas would be nice?!!

PhilippinesI-134
I'm getting the I-134 ready for the interview.I read the website from the U.S. Embassy in Manila.It say need last year tax return.I be sure to send past 3(2007,2008,2009).I made only about 7,000 for 2007 and about 13,000 for 2008 & 2009. I started a job that pays 20,160 annaully (over the 120% guideline),but I started only in September,for those years I mostly been a student.I look closely and it say they look at the current amount that you make.Should I worry bout that I did not make enough in the past or am I just stressing myself?I curious if i should worry bout the past amount i made and just prepare a co-sponsor.I plan to switch company in the building I work in but I will need to resign for 1 month.That jobs pay double my current salary.Is it okay that I make over the guidline now or should I worry that not make enough in the past.

AHHHHHH!!TIME SLEEP.nICE DAY!!
