CONGRATS!! :dance: :dance: The VSC will forward your petition to NVC. In about 3 days, call the NVC to see if they received your petition and if so, request your new case #. The number for NVC was provided in an earlier post. NVC will then mail your petition to the appropriate embassy.
What you can do now is get ready for the interview...gather all your evidence and have your SO apply for police report and start completing the proper documents.

Good luck.


Thanks for your sentiments. Any idea where to get this phone number for NVS? Do I already have it somewhere. I assume 3 days are work days, so like next Tuesday or Wednesday?

We are working with someone located in Cebu, Philippines so I think most if not all the paper gathering except my financial information has already been collected.
I have already forwarded the Email to their office and I am waiting for a response. It is 11 AM tomorrow there. How bazaar is that.

Hi all,

I just received a txt from USCIS which made me think our case had been adjudicated, but upon checking the USCIS website, the status has moved from Initial Review, where it has been since NOA1 date, back to Acceptance. It also says that on March 25 a duplicate notice was mailed to me regarding my case. Is this a bad sign?

Thanks for any comments and suggestions,

Carmen and Jhon



I am by no means any expert on these matters but did you also sign up for emails? Maybe the email will be more specific. Based on what I saw above it seems the Email is a duplicate of any snail mail coorespondence you may receive. I hope all turns out well with your case.

Hi Captain, how are things going with your quest? We received a touch today according to the USCIS site. How many touches till we actually hear anything? Our official receipt date was December 30th, if you think they may be important.

Well...it's not where you told me it was supposed to be :)

Yes, that place is still there. But it's kinda far from the corner you were talking about.


I don't recall saying it was on a corner, if I did, I apologize. I believe I said it was at the split between York and Easton Roads. It is neither here nor there. I am just glad it is still there. You may want to try them sometime. Nothing fancy. Just decent food and drink for a fair price and friendly people. The biggest negative is the parking. The lot is small and tight. Many people park on the York road by the place.

Unless I'm blind - it's not there anymore



If you are right, it is a sad day. I spent most of my 20's there, age and dollars. I will make a field trip to confirm for myself. Maybe next weekend, I have my daughter this weekend. I am hoping to report back that it is there.

Hm, are you talking the corner where BK, Bailys (sp?) and the plaza with Barnes and Noble is? Right before the train tracks? I don't remember anything there and I live 2 miles away


I have not been in that area for maybe 15 years but that place was a landmark. I can't imagine it being torn down for anything. The property is the second property at the triangle. you can enter the facility from either Easton or York Roads. I think the owners names DeMazio or something similar to that. There is a big rectagular sign that says Willow Inn. Heading North, the left fork is Easton, the right is Rt. 611, York Road. Trying to think of other landmarks. It is a commercial district there could be BK, not far from the Willow Grove Park Shopping Center I think it is called. Maybe it is gone. They were at one time the only game in town, excellent food, resonable prices, friendly family owned and operated establishment. It's bothering me now, I think I'm going to have to make a pilgrimage back to see if it is there. Now the Mrs. wants to know about the Willow Inn. LOL

Where is that at? Are you talking 202 and Sumney pike? wait....that's something else

Refresh my memory


It is where the road splits between York and Easton Roads. It is a huge place, been there forever.

No, no anchors dropped....

I'm still reeling from yesterday, which slowly turned into celebration today for Jared and Jim...

I'm kinda out of it still. Thank god it's nice outside though. And it's Friday tomorrow hehe



Yeah, it is nice to see happiness every day. I am happy for jim and Jarad also. Have you ever been to the Willow Inn? When I went there, the parents of the current owner ran it. I lived in Abington from 1971 to 1977. I'm sort of glad I don't have any questions. The forms are filed and it is now a wait. If I messed something up I may have questions then.

Thanks. Throughout this whole process that song has been playing in my head. They are all coming to America, some will be sooner then others. I see your post all over this site. You are very patient and informative, so thank you for all the free information I have received from you. This May 1st trip is that your first time to the Philippines? I was there with my 8 year old daughter for most of last summer. My daughter wanted to dye her hair black and stay there. She had an entourage everywhere she went. Our time will come Jared.

I agree that anywhere but the city proper is not Philly. I was born and raised in Philly. I did not leave the city till I was an adult. Nice meeting you Captain.

I am from Philly also. I live in chster county now. I lived in Abington and worked at the Sun Oil facility by the turnpike. I lived off Edgehill road on Clearview and on Rockwell Road, two seperate dwellings. Yes, this whole process is nerve racking. I sit here thinking, did I lie, did I miss something, am I short a piece of paper to make a complete ream of paper. This is crazy.

Hey thanks, my keyboard doesn't make characters like that. I did establish a portfolio for our case number. According to the site our last "touch" was 1/3/10. Are you from Philly? you have heard nothing either since the beginning of December?

Hi all. I have no idea how this works. We have a receipt date of 12/30/09. I have not heard anything yet. How do you find out about "touches"? How do you get to all these time lines? I certainly will post if I hear anything especially if this post is successful.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresCHURCH WEDDING
I am almost positive a church wedding in Mexico is as binding as a civil ceremony. I know a church wedding in the US is a legal wedding. At some point they may have to provide proof from the courthouse that neither one has been issued a marriage license. For me the risk is to great, if they get caught they should expect to grow old apart. They should switch to a K3, I think it is, spousal visa.
