IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Timeline to Interview	QUOTE (kennethandjoyce @ Apr 1 2008, 02:20 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I need inputs from anyone with experience on this... We had our case completed from the NVC last March 7, 2008. But, until now, we have not received any notice as to when the interview will be... How long does it usually take? Its almost a month since the case was completed but until now, no word yet... Can anyone enlighten us on this? We're getting impatient...

My fiance lived in Hong Kong when I met her, she now is back at home in the Philippines. Does anyone know if she can go to the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines and take care of this? How do you get this clearance? Thanks Glenn and Cathy ------------------------------ hi I am Filipina and my fiance just filed K1 for me, we sent it on Dec 27 2007, and our 129-f was approved last FEb 22.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Best time to vist fiance in Philippines	I am new to this forum and I just received the NOA1 for my fiance in the Philippines. I know there is a long way to go in the process but when would be the best time to visit her. Since the visa might be issued some time after her interview, is it better to wait until after the interview or maybe just go sometime in the middle so the wait will not seem so long? Just curious as to what most people are planning to do. BTW this site is awesome. [/quote] ---------------------------------------- hi they are right, visit her in the middle so that you will not for too long... and also you will be here in her interview.. if you need some friends here... VJ people are here like me .. Im here in Philippines and im waiting for my fiance. Good luck Primie and Ryan in Makati	I luv my chappara	Female	Philippines	2008-03-02 01:19:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Best time to vist fiance in Philippines	QUOTE (ChrisB0707 @ Feb 27 2008, 02:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree with the long process its nice to go again in a few months. I went to see my fiance in the Philippines in September 2007 and just got back from going the 2nd time from Jan 28th to Feb 15th so we could spend our first Valentines day together. It was nice because I surprised her and arrived 3 days earlier then I told her. I called her from my US cell phone after I arrived (so she would see my US number on her cell phone) and told her I had ordered her something from a store there in a mall and she had to go pick it up. I had already talked with the employees in the store to help surprise her. When she arrived to pick up the gift I walked up behind her and kissed her neck. It was amazing to see her beautiful smile when she relized I was there to see her when she thought I was still in the United States. I might be going back again for her interview but depends on her interview date. If you are staying in Makati or Manila area I have a great contact for condos to rent next to Greenbelt in Makati. I have been there 5 times and its a great location and very safe. Goodluck everyone ---------------------------------wow romantic eheh	I luv my chappara	Female	Philippines	2008-03-02 01:16:00

I found tickets from Northwest for around $750 one way. I don't know if I am going to do much better than that but I will keep looking. If the members who have gotten one way tickets from Manila to the US don't mind, what prices were you guys able to get? I just want to get an idea of what kind of deal I should expect. By the way, I think I would like to have her arrive in Detroit because I am familiar with the area and the POE there has received pretty good reviews. Thanks for the help. DW i think it depends on the final destination. My fiancee's poe is detroit too because I will fly with her, and I have my return ticket already with NWA which is manla-japan-detroit-raleigh... I looked at the NWA it is $1,029 one way ticket includes tax on may and early june,, Travel Agency have a great deal too,, try to research more.

My interview--April 22, 08 We dont have ym chatlogs also, seldom email, & no phonelogs coz we used prepaid in PI but I included this in my evidence... Cards that I gave to him during Christmas & his birthday, I included also receipts for the gifts that he gave me. (photocopies only) printed copies of our emails back & forth before we live together printed emails from his parents to me, and to my then fiance. pictures of us in the area where we live pictures of us with my family & his Dad's visit to my family photocopy of our lease photocopy of mails that was sent to me & him showing the address where we live copy of bills in his name copy of some bills in my name i opened savings account and let the bank sent my statement in my new address (i brought copy of this also in embassy) copies of receipts of our purchased with our name on it.. (we requested this put our name both in the receipts) suggestion: if you have time,, try emailing him sometimes even u live together , like just thanks him for his effort, kindness.. etc .. crazy inlove stuff P.S I voluntary told the consul too that we live together it really helps..

Philippines	Is it safe to stay in US with expired passport?	[quote name='aron' timestamp='1327864066' post='5127610'] Good Afternoon! I just wanted to ask about my expiring (green) philippine passport. Me and my husband planned to go home to the Philippines this coming march 3, 2012 and be back in the U.S. on the 18th of the same month. And we just got our roundtrip ticket lastnight. Now I just want to know if i will be able to return to the U.S. with my Philippine passport that will expire on June 13, 2012? I am holding a U.S Permanent Resident Card that will expire on May 17,2013. Thank you [/quote You mentioned that your passport will expire on June 13,2012 and you plan to go home to the Philippines on March 3, 2012, so that means between March and June your passport will expire in three months. I suggest that you get a new passport now because they only allow travelers holding a passport with at least six months before it expires. It doesn't matter whether you are an American or Filipino but if your passport will expire less than 6 months they will not allow you to travel. This happen to my cousin's fiance he's an American and planned to travel to the Philippines but his passport was expiring in five months, when he got to the airport they did not allow him to board the plane because they said his passport did not meet the reqirement of at least six months before expiration. I hope this will help you.	Teejay71107	Not Telling	Philippines	2012-01-31 12:28:00

We are still getting started on our journey. We just met for the first time in person, last feb 26 to march 6, his been here for only 10 days because of work. But even though our time together is so short. its not a hindrance for us to fall deeply inlove with each other. He met my family first in Cebu, then we went to Boracay, He proposed to me there, We went back in Cebu and got engaged there with my family. and now we are getting started for the fiancee visa.. I already send him my papers, so probably we will get ready and send our form I-129F on the 16th of April. But we are a little confused about the filing fee.. I saw a news about changes in the visa fees effective this April 13.. So we need a little help about this.. Hope anyone here could help us.. Thank YOU So Much!! May God Bless Us Always.. :-) Luzie ??? Filing fee is different from visa fee.

Opened mail today like every other day waiting and got NOA2 dated Dec 4th, but I received today Dec 10th. Postmark from Vermont was December 8th, mailed Monday afternoon. No email notifications, USCIS website still says PENDING and I have called NVC the last 5 days THINKING it might already be there and they say NO RECORDS found, so I'm assuming it will be in system soon as my mail comes 1-2 days from Vermont and mail from Vermont to NH -NVC office is one day, so this notice should be in system on Dec 12th, if we are lucky. At this point, i am not counting days or hours anymore. Its nice to just know that we can count on Sveta being here in February. Thanks to everyone who kept our hopes up and it NOW seems like 135-150 is the magic number of waiting days lately, so I wish all of you the best of luck and I KNOW that things will happen fast for you. We are finally able to smile again and the misery of waiting and checking is over and we can get ON with our new life and start 2009 off to a bright new start!!!
