National Visa Center (Dept of State)	NVC very slow! the agony of waiting, is this normal?	See my timeline below. So it made it to the NVC in under a week and she told me on the phone when I called the NVC that most petitions never stay over 5 days once they are received. wioombeen, I'm glad to see something moving quick for you. I got my NOA2 a couple days before you, but i called the NVC today and they have not received it. This is holding to form for my complete visa experience, everything is going to take longer then most. My NOA2 took 111 days (no RFE) and now it looks like NVC is going to take the full 4 weeks. I'm keeping hope something during this process moves as fast as most, not slower then most. Just a little rant...sorry Take care, Robert	Sheryl&Robert	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-08-01 17:51:00

Philippines	CFO counseling/registration/passport	hello everyone.... THANKS for all the answers... so I guess I'll just have to be sure that the Yellow cert. will be returned to me by the DFA... GOodluck to all of US	Sheryl&Robert	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-07-30 21:39:00
Philippines	CFO counseling/registration/passport	hi gUyS... i just want to know about this .... I already applied for my passport at DFA but i can't claim it yet because i have to attend the counseling requirement for (K1 VISA) at CFO... I've waited until our application will be approved - and THANK GOD we're approved last JULY 17, 2007 before i attend the Guidance & Counseling Services at CFO... I'm just confused if after I attend the COUNSELING (PRISM) and receiving the Guidance & Counseling Certificate , I also have to register it right away at CFO MANILA....coz i don't have my passport yet... What I'm thinking is just to attend the GUIDANCE & COUNSELING SERVICES (PRISM) to have my Guidance & Counseling Certificate.. then submit it to the DFA to give me my passport...and the actual registration at CFO MANILA will follow. I mean the release of my passport will come first before registering it... Is this right? THANKS in advance!!!!!! Sheryl....	Sheryl&Robert	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-07-30 05:58:00

How you search it online? my fiance already called US state and said Mnl already mailed the pocket to me last aug. 10. 2007. I am from cebu city and until now the pocket not yet arrive and it is already two weeks since they mailed it.

But for my interview date we are planning to do it later date oct. 8 coz my fiance will be coming here in cebu arrive oct. 5 in the evening it is possible we can change it into later dates? Thank you for all your replies hope to hear you all guys! God bless to all of us. hi key ... ..I don't have the packet yet from the USE.. I tried calling them since yesterday but I can't get through to check if they already received our petition from NVC so I decided to just check and entered our case number online .... http://usembassy.sta...1/wwwh3023.html ... to see if I already have my appointment dates..and so surprised I got it! Well, what u have to do now.. is WAIT - hope you'll have the packet very soon... (me too) hehehe .. Regarding to your question about having your interview later than your assigned date.. for what I've read.. you can but i don't know if how long you'll wait again for the interview... and for the hotel --I suggest you just stay to those along Roxas Blvd or Malate (near the USE and St. Lukes)....

Philippines	incomplete address in G-325a--HELP!	hello guys... I think I did something wrong with my address in the G-325A form ... I filled out my address and it is INCOMPLETE -- I just put there Blk. 4 lot 5 Vista St.________ _________ ________ and the CITY, PROVINCE and COUNTRY -- i failed to put the subdivision name and town as I just followed the form itself .. maybe that's why my packet 4 didn't reach my place coz USEM just refer my address to the G-325A form... but I know my fiance put my complete address in the I-129 form.. My interview will be on OCT. 4' 07..I'm really worried about this discrepancy with my documents.,... Do you think it will be questioned or can I be put on AR? do i have to do something for it now --an affidavit of discrepancy or something? Anyone who have knowledge about this... please help me...

Philippines	Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status	That's my five cents. Can someone please give me back my change? Cheers!!! Sheriff Uling Sheriff, you don't need your change ... you still "OWE" us a lot with your "expertise" and "humor". Keep it up! Well not today... I just got blasted for "attempting" to be humorous from the most unlikely canidate... Go figure! hopefully the op will realize a little humor can help lighten the stress of the process. Let's hope so... Whether I'm joking or being serious, I have been experiencing some severe attitudes lately in my daily life and then this last inncident... Arghhhh!!! Sheriff, I read the posting you wrote and i thought it was putting some humor in a subject perceived to be overly heavy. Don't let some of these guys get to you and make you change how you do things and what you do for the rest of us VJers. You added a humorous response to Sheryl's 1st post and we have found you to be very helpfull. So, F#@& them if they can't take a joke. Robert	Sheryl&Robert	Not Telling	Philippines	2007-08-01 16:02:00
Philippines	Sending Jewlery to Philippines	I sent Sheryl Ann her engagement ring...after i brought it back and had it resized, because she didn't want it to be done in the Phils in fear of the stone being swapped. I shipped it by FedEx... no extra cost/taxes when it arrived to her. Make sure you state the value (make sure you have proof of value) and it is already insured...at least that is what they told me Robert Edited by Sheryl&Robert, 24 May 2007 - 05:09 PM.
