K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	Changing phone numbers	QUOTE (aravis227 @ Apr 23 2008, 07:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm changing phone numbers...this is something that went onto the I-129F, right? Do I need to alert USCIS? Do they ever call you? I know I have to do a change of address if I move...I just didn't know about phone numbers. I'm inclined to just leave it be...I don't think they'd call...email/snail mail, yes...but a phone call? I'm just not buying it! Hi Aravis I would if I was you and the reason I would is in packet 3 on the forms you have to put phone numbers in too, just not sure if they would see that as a problem if they were different but hadnt been informed. Just my thoughts hon.	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-04-23 13:56:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	K-1 finally filed today! :)	QUOTE (HednJimmy @ Apr 18 2008, 05:31 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi all! So I sent out the I-129F today...got my fiancé signed papers in the mail, and checked for errors about twelve different times, and neatly sent it in the mail-I almost wanted to bake the adjucator cookies or give him chocolates to help the cause ha ha ha! I entered in the date into my timeline, and at the bottom, it says, "Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as September 29, 2008*". Is the timeline talking about from start to finish? (FYI, I'm at the what-seems-to-be-dreaded CSC) Or would that be the time at about when it would be forwarded to the consulate for the interview? I have this dream to be married December 7, 2008, but from what I have read in the forums, that's a fat chance. If anyone could give me some info on "adjucation", it would be much appreciated Thanks!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	and so i had my interview today..	QUOTE (envy_me @ Apr 24 2008, 08:47 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> and so i had my interview today.. my interview appointment is 7:30am, i arrived at the USEM 5:30am (nde nman ako bibo! ) lotsa peeps offering visa picture and seat services. don't be surprised by the peeps offering u seats and askin for the P30 seat fee.. around 6:15-6:30am the guard started to call peeps that are scheduled for 7:30am interview, and so we immediately walked towards the line near gate 2. at the gate 2, we were asked to show appointment letter and an ID, after passing the guard, we passed through a door where all your bags and stuff will be scanned, then pass through pavilion, and we entered the USEM. inside the USEM, we were asked to sit on blue chairs and wait til the guard call our row. then we waited for several minutes then we were asked to stand on line where they gonna ask for your DS forms and in return they gonna give you a number that you’re gonna use the whole time you're there. (note:make sure u have filled them out correctly and completely, hassle kse pag nde). after u got the number you have to wait for your number or your name to be called for the pre-screener or finger scanning. (note:pinoy lahat ng pre-screener.) then, i was called for finger scanning first, i repeated it for 3 times since my fingers seem wet and that when i try to push it down the scanner it wouldn't show perfect prints.. after that i was asked to sit for a while and wait for my number to be flashed on the screen. and so my number was flashed and i was asked to go to window2 2. the guy asked for my birth cert and nbi, but insisted that he gets my cenomar.. he did he asked my questions about my birth cert.. then he asked for the affidavit of support and income tax return 2007 but i gave him 2006, 2007, and w2.. then asked for pictures and emails, i said we hav no email since we chat everyday, i also told him i got phone bills of my fiance. so all in all, with the pre-screener i submitted birth cert, nbi, affidavit of support and income tax returns w2, 2006 and 2007, pictures and phone bills and chat logs.. also with the pre-screener i was asked some questions like when is my bday for several times.. LOL! then i was asked to sit at the waiting area and wait for my number to be called. and my number was flashed for the final interview.. WINDOW: 28 i entered the room and he greeted me good morning.. i sat and said "hello, good morning!" he asked me to swear that all imma say is true.. i said "YES!" here are the questions : (note:this is how i remember the order the questions were asked to me) 1. who is your petitioner? 2. when is his b-day? 3. where was he born? 4. was he ever married? 5. how did u meet him? 6. when was the first time you talked to him? 7. what does he do for work? 8. what do u do for work? 9. how many times did he come to visit 10. for how long? 11. when was the last time he visited? 12. how many times did he come to visit you? 13. why didn't he come back? 14. did he meet you parents? 15. why would you wanna marry him? then he looked at the phone bills of my fiance, our pictures and he read some of our chat logs.. then he said.. "well, everything is fine.. we just need one more document from you".. my face became serious and he said "u don’t have to worry, here's what i need you to do.. when you go outside, wait for your name to be called and pay for your visa delivery".. i smiled then asked if that is all.. he said "yes" then i said "thank you".. outside.. my name was called after around 2 minutes, the guy from window 37 asked me if i already paid delbros for doc verification, i said yes and he asked me to show the receipt, i showed the receipt and he gave me a pink and white slip, i dint ask why i got the white slip since almost all girls got them and i heard from the girl infront of me when i was standing on line at window 37, she was advised that its for document verification.. this was my experience and hope it will help.. to the ff peeps: primie, ryanNriza, shapeofmyheart, allrightsreserved, mikeandzandy, ladychris, babychris, pink, ammike, honeyme, loterly, drmirage.. to all peeps that i forgot to type the name.. to all my friends on my friend's list here.. to all VJers who replied to my post and to all who didn't LOL.. to all of you guys..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	G-325A Question	QUOTE (Jason&Sarah @ Apr 25 2008, 08:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello all! Sarah and I are getting our packet together, and we had a wee question that I was unable to find the answer to... On the G-325A form where it asks for employment for the past 5 years, she has all of it save 2003. She is unsure of the dates for her start and finish for several jobs she had in that year, and what we're wondering is how closely do they look at that? For example - she is unsure if she started at one place in March or April and left either in August or September...and its rather difficult to get ahold of the employment offices as they're not around anymore, so what we're wondering is are exact dates mandatory, or is best guess ok enough? Thanks! I best guessed some of mine, but I havent reached the end of the process yet so not sure if it will be looked at closely or not yet. Good luck	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-04-25 14:36:00

Philippines	VISA IN HAND!!!!: I'm jumping with JOY!	QUOTE (dbears @ Jun 3 2008, 11:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Since I just recieved the text from Delbros this morning which stated that our visa was in transit to Davao, it didn't even say delivery will start 2days etc etc which is the usual text received by others. So, I was not really expecting the visa to arrive today, I was thinking it might be anytime this week but not today. 6:20 PM my daughter knocked on my room and called out "Ma, DELBROS daw".. I couldn't believe it at first, I thought she was just playing pranks on me--which she always do-- but still I just had to peek out of the window but I couldn't see any delivery vehicle outside (was used to big delivery vans of LBC & FedEx)... I was getting ready to go back to my room when my daughter said: "Nasa labas lagi, naka motor lang" (he is outside, in a motorcycle)... so, I went out and saw this ordinary motor riding guy. He was holding some packets on his hand... at that point, my heart started beating faster and faster while I inched slowly towards the guy.. and there it was, on his hands was our VISA!!! I AM SOOO ECSTATIC RIGHT NOW!!! ALL PRAISE AND HONOR BE TO GOD! Congrats dbears im so pleased for you	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-06-03 05:45:00

Philippines	US VISA on hand	QUOTE (blairbitxh @ Jul 9 2008, 08:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hey Guys, Thanks for all the things I learned from here! This was my place to write all of my disappointments about the slow processing of VISA because of the infamous doc verification. I was interviewed June 12 then paid doc verification the same date. I guess it just really don't matter if you paid in advance. I saw that the VISA was released July 2, so it was delivered to me after 7 days, well that's really slow because it could be delivered much earlier. Timeline for my VISA delivery from the date of interview and payment: JUNE 12- interview date JUNE 12- paid DELBROS for shipping and DOCUMENT VERIFICATION JULY 2- VISA released by USEM JULY 9, 8:00 am- DELBROS SMS INQUIRY, saying "Visa in transit" JULY 9, AROUND 11:00 am- VISA delivered! 'Til here, I hope that those who are in the waiting list will receive their VISA soon too! xxblairbitch Congrats	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-07-09 03:09:00
Philippines	We made it!!	QUOTE (polar77 @ Jul 9 2008, 08:10 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  jj.jpg   334.81KB   37 downloadsWe're both in the US now! I spent about 2 weeks in PH visiting my fiancée and her family and attending her interview at the USEM. My flight just squeezed into Manila a few hours ahead of typhoon Frank. Sitting in my hotel in Manila, I never heard such a howling from the wind. My fiancée was supposed to meet me in Manila for her interview Sunday morning from Cebu, but her flight was cancelled due to the typhoon. Thank God I was able to schedule her on another flight to Manila later that night so we still made it to our interview at USEM scheduled the next day!! Thankfully, her interview went well and we received the visa by Delbros about 5 days later. We spent the rest of our time in Cebu with the family. We also spent a couple days in Bantayan Island on the northern tip of Cebu. It was so quiet and peaceful there compared to Cebu City. We flew back to the US on EVA airlines. No problems at POE. We are now home together in Oregon. Anyone still trying to get through the visa process......Don't give up and good luck!!!!!!!! congrats	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-07-09 03:06:00

Philippines	INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE at USEM MANILA	QUOTE (SHAPE OF MY HEART @ May 13 2008, 11:40 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hello fellows, Finally, i'm done with my tension for now. I had my interview at USEM Manila yesterday May 12, 2008. Arrived before 6:30am and my first fell in line at security to enter the embassy, where they posted IR1/Cr1/K1/K3 Non-immigrants visa applicants. It wasn't long line there compared with the other two lines (for other applicants). There were different lines also for "seafarers", that's probably the some people said who had had previous interview at USEM where they said we should arrive so early. But there's nothing to worry about that. Those long lines were different from us.(who has scheduled interview at the consul). At this security check, he asked for my appointment letter that embassy sent me, i told him i didn't receive any packet from USEM, what i have was e-mail appointment letter that they sent us right after I scheduled my interview, i told him briefly this is what i showed also in St. Lukes and the guard noticed that there's St.Lukes marked on my appointment letter, he just uttered "hindi co yata alam yun ah, ok cge patingin nalang I.d mo", i showed him only my postal i.d, and he let me in. (Hey guys, don't bother anymore to bring your cellphones or any gadgets, because there is really no way you can store it in USEM, though there are this outside people who will charge you P200 for you to give them your cellphones and you will be given by number for you to claim it later. Well , this people are not working at USEM. It's up to you guys, either you entrust your phone to these outside people and pay P200 for them to keep your phone while your still inside the Embassy or just leave your phone in your house, for me i didn't bring my phone, i just left at the hotel.) At second security, the guard asked again my appointment and i showed him and he instructed me to window 3, it's where I put all my things to their x-ray machine for security check. After this, the guard instructed me to embassy pavillion. (geez! this was a wrong instruction he gave me, been in pavillion, fell in line for almost 40 mins and when i was almost finished at the line, when the staff checked my ds156 and ds157 he said, ma'am You should be at the immigrants section. There were few of us also in K3 and K1 there who got wrong instructions from the guard from the window 3. So, the staff told us to to go to immigrants section. When we got there, there were many people already, wow, just because of that wrong instruction.Those some applicants who were scheduled for 8:30am were ahead of us already. But it's okay. It's past already. Ok here's the steps i have done yesterday inside the Immigrants Section. (don't worry guys we won't be going to different floors here, its only in this Immigrant Section big room that everything will happen from the 1.checking of ds forms, 2.finger scanning, 3.pre-screening,4. consul interview, and 5.delbros- payment of visa delivery, unlike in St. Lukes different floors to get all things done so we won't be needing back and forth from time to time at USEM.) 1. GIVING NUMBER. Fell in line to window _ , they asked 2 sets of ds 156, 2 sets ds 157, and appointment letter.(Since I am K3, i didn't have the DS156k, for K1 you will be asked for this). After the woman check mine, she gave me number, this number was important so don't lose it. I then took sit again at waiting area. 2.FINGER SCANNING. From the window where I gave my DS forms and appointment letter, its here where we will hear if our names will be called already for Finger scanning. When i heard my name i went to window _ for Finger scanning.(if your palms perspiring just make sure you dry it before you put it in the finger scanning machine, don't worry also, there's staff here that will assist you and hold your fingers for the scanning.) After finger scanning, i then took a sit again at waiting area. 3. PRE-SCREENING. My number flashed at the board and the window where i will go. I then proceed to window _ for pre-screening of my docs. Here, the guy only asked to give him first: NSO Birth Certificate, NSO Marriage Certificate and NBI. After he checked what i gave him, he then second asked me again to give him the following; Affidavit of Support (134) W2s, and Tax Transcripts. ( i gave him 2005,2006,2007 W2s and 2005,2006,2007 tax transcripts, Affidavit of Support and Employment letters.) After he checked it, he gave back the employment letters to me. * with pre-screening here i was asked, (my pre-screener was a handsome gay and he seemed nice) -who is your petitioner -when is his birthday -what's his work -how i met my husband -when i first met my husband in person -how long he stayed in Philippines -what date exactly he got here in Philippines -when did we get married -how long my husband stayed in Philippines -were you married before -were your husband married before -do you have kids -does your husband has kids The third he asked me to give him were pictures. I gave him pictures, of me and my husband with my family and with his family. The pre-screener then asked "Is your husband a muslim?", i answered "No, he is not, he is american.", by flipping the pics, He also commented , "he is still young and handsome like you, you two are meant for each other." I said "thank you sir", and then he asked me , "have you experience to travel abroad or international flights", i answered "No, not yet Sir."and then he gave me some advises about nothing to worry about , it's important that i get a good sit at plane so i will be comfortable with the flight. I said "thank you sir for that tips". Once again he looked at our pics, and then i asked him, "do you need anything or any proofs Sir?" and he said , "No, this is enough already" , "Ok, you can go back to your seat and wait again for your number to be called. Thank you", I answered "ok sir, Thank you po." At the waiting area, i sighed and i felt something a bit upset because they never looked at my evidences, i brought so much of our proofs and evidences that weighs almost 7 kilos, geez! until now i have back pain for carrying this. 4.CONSUL INTERVIEW. I couldn't say i have had a friendly consul, unlike others had. What i had was a tall American woman with i think in her 30's with very short hair. I greeted her "Good Afternoon", she didn't greeted me back though, she just said "have a seat." She asked me the same questions what my pre-screener asked me. Plus she asked me some additional questions. She even told me "i think you need to be grilled", then she smiled. She also gave some comments, "So you were 23 or 24 when you met your husband". i answered her, "i am 23 when i met my husband." She asked me, "what did you like most about him?", I answered, "He is so thoughtful, no matter how busy he was he always finds time to give time to me even when he was still in Afghanistan. " She then uttered, "oh he is a Military" , i said "Yes Ma'am". Then once more he flipped our pictures, and she said "i think everything is all fine." Then she explained brief about the document verification. She asked me if i paid for it, i said yes i did. And she said, The USEM requires document verification so to make sure there are no fake marriages or no fake identities to all applicants. She then said "Ok, i think everything is okay now. You will need to wait for your name to be called once again for one last time." And i said "thank you Ma'am", and she said "thank you" I then took a sit again at waiting area. After few minutes my name has been called, i went to window_ and the girl gave me back the appointment letter plus the instruction to pay the Delbros visa delivery. 5. DELBROS Visa delivery payment. They gave me form to fill up for visa delivery and i paid P400 for delivery fee, i put my address in Bataan is why P400, if only Manila area it's only P250. (I saw some someone from Cebu she paid more than P500.) Finished before 12pm. And was so tired and exhausted because of too much pressure the past few days. The first days of my mens period came the morning of my interview, because of the nervousness i felt i think. haha. At 5pm i met Relyn at MOA and check the possible place for Eyeball meeting. Will be posting about the infos at the eyeball thread. Thanks everyone. Shape Congrats Shape woohoo	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-05-13 06:02:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	k-1 visa approved	QUOTE (Seattle2Cebu @ Mar 4 2008, 06:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I applied for the k-1 visa in July of 2007. We were approved in California in about 4 months. It took about 3 months after that to have the interview at the embassy in Manila. So approx 7 months from start to finish. Its been 16 months since i have seen my fiance in person. I didnt apply for the k-1 right away after returning to the states after visiting her in Manila and her family in Cebu. I applied for the visa about 9 months later. The best way to avoid delays is to take the time to read all the material on this site, and it doesnt hurt to make a couple of contacts in the local area where your fiance lives. The locals know the current "buzz" such as how long is it really taking to get a passport and where your fiance is to get her documents. When I filled out my paperwork, I would read it over first, and then put it down and then read it over again in a day, and then fill it out. I would go back and look it over at least three times before accepting it as finished. Look at the sample forms on this site that are done. I took extra time doing all the paperwork involved and didnt rush to send anything in. This is a several month process, whats a few more days to make sure you get it right? Thats the best advice I can give to those who are doing this.. Many thanks to this site for being here. My fiances visa will be delivered to her soon, and I will be working on getting a plane ticket for her. Its worth the wait. Congratulations, I wish you much happiness.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	WE ARE APPROVED!!!!	QUOTE (ShannonandMarco @ Mar 7 2008, 04:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi there everyone! Just a little post to let the community know that.....WE WERE APPROVED THE VISA TODAY!!!! Marco left the interview at the Naples Consulate with the visa in his passport!! He said the interview was quick and painless, just two questions, and a request for the packet 3 documents, but I'm sure he'll post his review of the consulate in full detail when he gets back home. So the only thing left is to book the plane ticket and take the vows This whole process took about 8 months (224 days) from start to finish, I remember how hopeful were were that it would be done in six. Ha!! wishful thinking since the governement has its hand in all of this. But I digress... I do want to say thanks for all the continuing support we received from this forum. There is truly no other place like it anywhere, for all the support and information. We all share a common bond here. I know that the journey is still not over, theres still adjustments, cards, appointments, blah blah blah, more things to fill out, and pay for but at least the mountain of stress has moved from our shoulders. As for any advice, make sure all your papers and forms are correct. Use visajourney, and its resources to check and double check everything. Marco said that out of 30 people that were at the consulate today, about 10 didnt get their visas, some for silly things like not checking the papers they had or for leaving something out. So if your still in limbo waiting, or have just filed, hold on, stay strong and be smart. Good luck to everyone, we wish you all the best. Shannon and Marco P.S. !@#$% we can finally relax now Congratulations	Sal and Jay	Female	England	2008-03-07 11:42:00
