K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	I am trying to find one for him. Thing is, I probably gave him enough to last him a year from his vacation last Xmas. heheheheh. How about you? I will give him kisses and hugs and my neverending love... He would have to be with me physically to feel the kisses and hugs though.	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-20 08:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	Hey sis, I'm here. Just being quiet lately and not really in the best mood to post. So I would rather shut up or I'll start b*tching about the delay before it's over. How're you?	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-20 07:58:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	I can't understand why CSC is having loads of NOA2 released! Did everybody from VSC just resettle to CSC because of winter?	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-16 18:57:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	I am okay Dani... or should I say coping. My little one was being silly the other day. She's the funniest. I am kinda worried that she is so excited to be with her Daddy Aaron, that this whole wait may spoil her mood.	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-16 14:37:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	Gemmie - I am there with you. Forgive me for saying this but since I do have the tourist visa, sometimes I would find me kicking myself. I wish I just went ahead and married in KY and just adjust status. Aaron kept telling me we were okay and that always ticks me off. I AM NOT OKAY!!! IF YOU'RE OKAY, THEN I AM NOT! Then I kick myself again for yelling at him... It's just so complicated. Then i go to work and people from everywhere ask me when we're getting married... Damn! I can't even get past the date of the wedding since I don't have the damn visa yet! Just venting...	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-15 14:33:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	Hehehehehhe... Dani is silly today! Maybe a sign of an NOA2 coming.	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-15 14:08:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	My mood yesterday was so sour. I went from crying to laughing for the mere stupid joke, then crying again... and I feel so bad, my SO tried his very best to cheer me up and he is saying sorry for failing miserably... Why do we have to put up with all the ####### USCIS is doing?	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-13 16:45:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	Gemmie - congrats on the platinum membership. Oh gosh, and I thought I was not normal. It took me a long time to finally make this confession. I though I was the biggest whiner in the world of waiting. Patience is just not my most admirable qualities. LOL Mara - It's called girl power! That's the reason why they are head over heels in love with us. We are so fabulous despite being whiney. Agree, sisters? Dani - what's up with you sis? So far, you, me and Mara are still in the dark... My grass skirt has been put to rest. I realized my boss was glaring at me from my desk because I have been so unproductive. Good thing he loves me like his own child I get to keep my job! LOL	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-13 07:15:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	See the platinum status? that's because I am working hard - or hardly working. LOL My SO is threatening to ban me from VJ again if I don't stop whining. God help me and VSC too.	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-13 06:29:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	Don't panic yet. From what I know every consulate/embassy has different processes. QUOTE (Gemmie @ Jan 9 2009, 03:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Chuck and Grace @ Jan 9 2009, 06:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (Gemmie @ Jan 8 2009, 04:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We got our hard copy of the NOA2 today (a week later) and we're a little confused. It mentions that our file has been forwarded to "the Consulate" stated and then they don't list London anywhere and they don't mention the NVC either - isn't it their job to forward it to the Consulate? Gemmie, you said your NOA2 mentions the consulate, but did you mean the letter from NVC? 1st line on my NOA2 says "The above petition has been approved. We have sent the original visa petition to the Department of State National Visa Center (NVC) . . . ." The letter from NVC gave a case number then said the case will be processed at: Tokyo, Emabssy of the United States, Visa Unit. That's the thing, it was the NOA and it said it had been forwarded to the Consulate listed, but not only was there no mention of the London Consulate, but it didn't mention the NVC either. I'm going to ask Bill to call the NVC to see if they've recieved our case. I hope and pray your dream will come true! QUOTE (Noa&Mia @ Jan 9 2009, 12:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Last night!! I had the best dream ever!!!!!!!!!! I dreamed I check my email account and there was an email from CRIS saying our I129F application was approved!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god!!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	August 2008 Filers	QUOTE (boof3001 @ Jan 8 2009, 05:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am right there with everyone still waiting ... I probably shouldn't check the USCIS site everyday, it just makes my heart drop every time I see no change. Every time Asako and I have to part at the airport it gets harder and harder. Going months without a peep from USCIS just makes it feel like it will take forever to get this thing At least right now we have my February visit to Tokyo to look forward to ... but this seemingly eternal wait is pretty depressing. I am keeping my hopes up that we will have our NOA2 by then ... Oh boof, I know exactly what you mean. It's draining isn't it? Wish you all the best on your trip in February. Good luck and hopefully you'll have your NOA2 by then.	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-08 16:09:00

I know. Hang in there. At least the weather in the Philippines is great I miss it already! And the Mango's too! There is NO SUCH THING AS GOOD MANGO's in the US. Sorry, they dont compare to the Philippines! I am right there with you on the mangoes.	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-01-08 16:03:00
Philippines	USEM Interview on March 10 at 7aM - APPROVED!	Here's the experience, as promised: MARCH 10, 2009 Tuesday No cellphones, electronic gadgets, USB memory, laptops, and any similar items NOT ALLOWED inside the embassy. Arrival and security checks: Arrived US Embassy at 545am with daughter. Had to stay at the waiting area until we are instructed to fall in line at Gate 2. 615am came and we were then instructed to fall in line for the K1 and K3 interview schedule for 7am. Went through the checker - showed them the appointment letter along with one valid ID with photo. Went through the security check and scanning area for our stuff. This is similar to what you'll see at the airport security gates. Inside the Immigration Unit: <1>SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION FORMS: We were instructed to take our seats and wait until our turn for the application documents check. This will be areas where the blue chairs are. All K1 will be seated together. We were then instructed to bring out our Visa appointment email printout, DS Forms (DS 156 (2 sets), DS 157 (2 sets), DS 156K (1)), along with the passport (if you have it in your possession) and 2 pcs (2x2 photos) with your full name wrtitten at the back. In my case, I brought our passports as I just completed our medical last March 6th and I informed St. Lukes that I rescheduled the interview to an earlier date, so they went ahead and gave the passport to me. The lady checkers would be checking these documents for completeness. They would then take the documents and give you a number printed on a piece of paper that you have to hang on to the whole time as your numbers will be called in random for the next steps. Time stamped on number: 6:55am <2> Fingerprinting Be wary of this step. They will call you by the last name and NOT YOUR NUMBER. They will scan all ten fingers. You will then be asked to go back to your seat and wait for your number to be flashed on the queueing board for the pre-screener interviews. Time check 7:45am <3> Pre-screening interview and submission of documents Your number will be flashed on the queueing board along with which window you will go to for the pre-screening interview and submission of documents. This is the part where you will be asked to sign the DS forms, and fill out the parts that were not filled out properly. They will also ask for your BC, CENOMAR, Police and NBI Clearance, I134, employment letter, pay stubs, letters, emails, chat logs, pictures, phone bills, remittances, etc. Then comes the questions: For me: What is the name of the petitioner? How did you meet? What did you do in the States? When was the last time you met? How many times did he come here? What dates? Have you ever been married? Any kids? Ages? Any contact with the father? Has your petitioner been married? How many times? What does he do for a living? Your ages? For my daughter: Who is this? (shows her a pic of the three of us and pointing at fiance) Are you going to the US too? What are you going to do there? What will you bring Daddy **** when you go there? After this step, you will then be instructed to go back at the waiting area for the interview with the consular officer. Time check: 845AM <4> Interview with the Consular Officer Again, wait for your number to be flashed on the queue board. Unlike the non-immigrant visa interview, where you won't have any privacy at all, the interview rooms all have doors so it's very comfortable. Before the CO asks you any questions, you will be asked to raise your right hand and swear under oath that you have provided only true and correct information about yourself. I have to say this. My CO was the hottest one in that area. I honestly have to remind myself to stop drooling and keep hoping i won't change my mind and marry him instead. LOL *just kidding* Questions: The whole interview took about 10 minutes Who's your petitioner? They meant that you state a name. How did you meet? Where is he now? When did you go to the states? When was the last time you were together? So you worked together? Have you ever been married? Do you have any children? Ages (my daughter answered this part)? Has he ever been married? How many times? What does he do? (he means his job and title) What did you do in the states? He then checked our pics and did a double take on our pic in front of the Mammoth Cave sign. He asked me how it was and if it was worth it and I said yes! He relaxed at this point and smiled at me. He said he was taking a vacation in the summer and thinking about places to go to... (Oh my that melted my heart! He was HOT!!!) He then told me that he needed to cancel my B1/B2 visa as I am not qualified for it when i become an immigrant. So... Goodbye 10 years multiple entry that everybody wants. The funny part is the stamp said: CANCELLED WITHOUT PREJUDICE... Right! He then said: Ok Ma'am, your visas are now approved. You may now go back to the waiting area for your name to be called for further instructions. You have a great day. At this point, I was walking on cloud nine! Time check 930AM <5> Releasing of documents: Windows 37 and 38 are doing this step. They will call you by last name so you would have to sit in front of that area (RED Chairs). The guy gave me back the documents presented to the pre-screener and of course the PINK SLIP that you will present to the Air21 counter for the visa delivery fee. Tiem Check: 935AM <6> Visa Delivery Fee payment: Another line but you won't feel the pain of waiting anymore. After this you are ready to hit the road and sleep. Time check: 945AM Edited by HappyDancer, 11 March 2009 - 02:28 PM.	HappyDancer	Female	Philippines	2009-03-11 14:26:00
