US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	POINT OF ENTRY!!!!! pls HELP	All paper work from the start we process the immigration was address to my inlaws in Florida...My husband is working in Virginia...and they just sent to him all documents/letter from NVC if theres any. Does it mean that my POE is also in Florida and i am not good to go directly to my husband..we discussed about this and he said that better for me to go Florida so that the NVC would not asked anything...Does it really cause a problem? The given address from NVC will be really my POINT OF ENTRY?	abakada	Not Telling	Philippines	2011-03-05 19:46:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	interview requirements.....	Hi Everyone...! So my interview is on march 1, 2011 in MANILA embassy and Im going through the letter sent to me by the NVC. I was a little bit confused on the list of requirements it says "correspondence instructions - C", It's says that C means "direct inquiries to consulate/embassy".. what does it mean? I dont even know what correspondence instructions are? Does it mean the letter that they sent to me? or do i need to call manila embassy to inquire about that correspondence instruction? And another question is---- do i need to bring a passport photo of my husband (petitioner)? in advance, thanks for the help and advices!! I have the same question as yours and in addition to that..should i also need to bring the AOS which already sent to NVC...my husband didnt keep a copy when he send those to NVC (which just December)..he would get another AOS just for me to bring on the day of my interview...and ALL the figures would probably change..do we really need the AOS on the interview date? CAN ANYONE ANSWER ARE QUIRY.. HOPE TO HEAR FROM THOSE ALREADY DONE WITH THEIR INTERVIEW. THANKS IN ADVANCE	abakada	Not Telling	Philippines	2011-01-28 06:06:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Address and the I-129F	May husband is an active duty...he address all the papers and arrived all docs at his parents house....and we just receive a call from them that particular documents arrived...and they are the one who will sent to my husbands place. just give them an authority to open ur mail..so that u would know if its really important that u might need to response immediately. You can also log in..so that u can also receive via email and test messages ..Good luck...	abakada	Not Telling	Philippines	2011-01-25 17:52:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Petitioner = US Navy	Yeah.. she'll most likely do it twice because she said that when she went to SLMC, she brought a paper from the US Navy not for the USCIS. Besides, she haven't filled out anything. I guess you're right.. Her fiancee followed everything in the book. The guy is in Japan now. That is where he is stationed. for sure she will get her medical twice..since her papers is only at the CIIS process...the medical is good only 6 months...the process of the papers is beyond that. (unless for some expedite) the next request would be coming from NATIONAL VISA CENTER (NVC) and if shes lucky to get an approval earlier from NVC process.. she can use that results submitted to Manila Embassy..and she save time and money.	abakada	Not Telling	Philippines	2011-01-23 19:50:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Petitioner = US Navy	Weird, but it could happen. My only worry for her would be that at the rate things are going, by the time she gets her approval, hopefully her medical is still valid by then or else i would hate for her to have to do it again as it is so costly. lets hope the process is quick for her, and best of luck! by the way my fiance is in the army and i am from the philippines, and i was not asked for a medical beforehand. but each branch has their own rules so maybe that's a navy thing Yeah I agree with you..like what happened to me...I had my medical exam for the NAVY command(jan2010)..and when i need to get my Medical for my Petitions...my medial results WAS EXPIRED.grrrrrr...and the sad thing about this ...when i had the next medical test( Dec2010) i got a problem with my chest x-ray....so another..grrrrrrrr...well things will work out fine...just go with the flow..and good luck.	abakada	Not Telling	Philippines	2011-01-23 19:35:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Petitioner = US Navy	This is required.I had my First Medical Exam last January 2010. I been through this Instructions which they called "COMNAVMARIANAS JURISDICTION" MARRIAGE OF ACTIVE DUTY PERSONNEL TO A FOREIGN NATIONALS BEFORE GETTING MARRIED THEY REQUIRE THE MEDICAL EXAM FROM ST LUKES... OR IF THE US NAVY MARRIED ALREADY THIS WILL BE DONE BEFORE THEY WOULD ACCEPT THE MARRIAGE AND BECAME LEGITIMATE WIFE/HUSBAND OF THE SAILOR. THE COMMAND WILL GIVE THE REQUEST FOR "MARITAL EXAM" AND U CAN BRING THIS TO ST LUKES AND THEY KNW WHAT TO DO...
