Well I dont want to Stay that long.You continually Spending each day and although it might be nice,I want to have time saved from work for when she gets here to help her adjust here. it would be nice to have both of us come back together, but she will be just fine. She flew to Dubai before from the Philippines as OFW, so she will be ok and its a Non Stop on PAL from Manila to her only stop and POE.....LAX! 12 Hours!:thumbs:


Kewl, why then are you going there for 30? I just got a fresh vaca batch with the New Year, so I am trying to not burn through it and save it for when she gets here for same reason as you mentioned.Bike week in Daytona though, hmmmm, haha

Myself I am planning to be over there for the interview + a month.

All the best!


Hey Hank, yea things are moving along, she is, as we speak, down at the Egyptian Consulate doing the fingerprint and sending it off....I have the 1-134 done, just finishing up with the additional forms and letters to send. Wished I could be there for a month...sound like fun mixed in with some business.

Wow, sorry to hear about hat brother, tough times, but glad its back on track.

We were together in Aug, in Bangkok, so its been WAAAAY too long. Yea we will toss it back and forth on me coming there for interview. I am happy you are going there, will you stay so you two can fly together, back to the States?

No, No It took a Month for our case when it was approved to get to NVC from CSC. When is the last time you visited Diana?? its been awhile since I have been there cause of Graces Dads illness and she was at the Hospital along with all her family taking turns over a Month. Well since then he Passed the first part of December so we back on track. its been a Hard 4 Months for her and her family and myself. My Main focus though was on her, not the process.Thank God though we about to finish soon. I want to go that time for her interview, its just my choice to do that. Updated Letter of intent is Good!!!:thumbs: :thumbs:

Hey, thanks for the advise. I've received advise from both sides of the coin, lol....soooo not sure which way to go.

To save time, I recommend that your fiancée complete the medical, the CFO seminar, and the interview. At her interview, since she won't have the police clearance, the consular officer will issue her a 221g which will require her to submit the police clearance when it arrives. Once she submits the police clearance, all she has to do is kick back and wait for her visa. Once she receives her visa, she can go get the CFO sticker. Done...and ready to fly!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F on way to Manila.

Hi Ron & Diana

That is great to hear that the case is now forwarded to manila. Now that you fiance has put in the request for Police clearance in Cairo. You can now get started on all the other steps. The Police clearance is need only at the USEM interview as one of the required documents.

Medical is next and you can prepare for that process. Also preparing you fiance's package for the interview. Plenty of time to review and go over all documents.

Patients will get you through this and complete all!!!

I have faith that you two be together in USA before you know it.

God Bless and keep us posted. :) :thumbs:



Thanks Wally, we are preparing to prepare, lol. We are hoping that most of the wait we have to do for the police clearance from Egypt will but eaten up by the things she has to do in Manila to prepare for the interview anyways, as you mentioned, medical, etc. Diana did mention lady at Embassy said a few of the things she had already secured are not really the best forms, so she has to take care of those as well.

I know she will be here before I know it, haha, can't wait.

Thanks for helping out friend.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsI-129F on way to Manila.
Well called NVC and our 1-129F is on its way to Manila, via DHL, left yesterday.

My fiance went down to the U.S Embassy to get the paper to request police report from Egypt, she was there all day....She has to go back down in the morning to the Egyptian consulate to get fingerprinted then it gets fwd to Cairo. She was informed it will take about 30 days to get back. I suggested she ask if there is a way to expedite?

My fiance' was also informed, while the Fiance Visa is a non immigrant visa, THEY consider it to be an immigrant visa, thus all the extra requests. Nice.

I did see on UStraveldoc.ph you can request your appt online and also change appt, so I was thinking maybe when we are a bit further along in this, maybe to schedule it, and it the police report isn't back from Cairo, to just go back online, or call, and reschedule? I am not sure how long out they are scheduling appts anyways. She has plenty to do while waiting for the police report anyways.

Just wanted to update you guys.

More thanks to you guys and SpaceJ...I know exactly what you mean. I remember in Sept when we filed, and I saw others posting what I just did, about their fiance coming in a week....I was like, man, I am happy for them, but also jealous....then Oct, Nov, Dec, more waiting and not knowing when she was coming. It was stressful and it sucked but eventually time passes and you too will be posting the same thing and your fiance will be here before you know it.

Update: Talked with g/f and she totally agrees to save the money for more important things...pretty much anything other than lining the pockets of a lawyer. So we are steaming ahead on our own, and with the help of my new friends on VJ....She is sending me her docs on monday, via FedEx...luckily I can send things to her, and anyone else, via Fed Ex, with a 75% discount as I work for the airlines and its an agreement our company has with Fed Ex.

Hi! You don't need a lawyer unless your case has huge red flags. You seem to have sufficient intelligence to fill out and compile all the necessary documents. It's pretty straight forward. Follow the K1 guide on this site. It's very helpful. http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide Good luck to you both! Save the $4000 and have a special wedding.
:)


Hey Mandy, yes thats what we thought too...As I said before, my fiance has way more intelligence than me, and also as another poster reflected, better looking too, haha.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDivorce/AOS
Haha, that is what I was thinking too, on the bank account thing.....he keeps her in the house it seems. She does all the cook'n and clean'n and such, she was able to get her learners with the help of some other Filipinas I believe.

I will advise her on the other evidence of relationship. Would eye witness from friends help too?

Sorry but not sure what ROC means? Are you saying if she divorces before her two year thingy is around she can file this ROC with a waiver?

Ex-wife is on a bank account still? Maybe if your friend gets a divorce, her ex-husband-to-be will put her on the bank account too.

Anyways, there are other evidence to use - health insurance(insurance card) lease with both names on, taxes filed jointly, bills in both names. A simple state ID has the address on, doesn't need to be a driver's license.

She'll be filing ROC with a waiver. If the divorce is finalized before it's time to file ROC, file ROC immediately after the divorce.


Ron and RheaMalePhilippines2012-04-21 07:47:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionDivorce/AOS
No guys...she isn't on the bank account because he wont' put her on it, as she has one of his X wives on it..he has 3 X wives, from what she said. She has a learners permit. She gets mail at his house and such. And yes he has hit her twice but she didn't want him to go to jail, so she didn't report it to the cops.

He is ok with her just living in the same house till her two years are up then doing the divorce, but she doesn't want to wait that long, if possible, as he is abusive. But she will call cops next time she said.

I dunno, I was trying to help her out of a sitch she wasn't happy with, I do not know if she is scamming him or not, to be honest, as I do not know either all that well.
