Good people,
I haven't seen the photo, and, frankly, I don't believe it matters much how pretty or how young the OP looks. Try to put yourselves in the shoes of the IO who had the file on his or her desk. A 25 year-old guy from a poor country meets a 40 year-old woman from a rich country . . . ONCE . . . then on the spot proposes to marry her?

If YOU, yes YOU, were a 25 year old guy, go out to a bar, meet a 40 year-old woman you really like (you can't really love someone after a meeting of a few hours), and immediately propose to her . . . don't you think that's a red flag the size of a circus tent? I do.

Let's play devil's advocate once more, and switch genders. An American gentleman travels to Asia and meets this mesmerizing, 20 year younger woman. Would he propose to her, right on the spot? Perhaps he would. But assume the girl says "yes" to him, right then and there, don't you think that an IO reviewing the case would assume the girl's reason for wanting to marry this older guy she has only met once is to get a ticket to the US of A? I do.

Of course, there are cases were true and lasting relationships between couples with huge age differences exist, but viewed through the eyes of an IO, they are the exceptions. And, of course there is such a thing as love at first sight, but viewed through the eyes of an IO, they are exceptions as well. Now combine age difference, plus having met only once, and you have a case as rare as a lottery win. I can't really blame the IO for his/her decision, even if it's not "fair" and hurts the OP.

My advise to the OP: show that you have a real relationship, by keeping it alive for a year or two, meeting a few times, sending each other "love letters" and so on. Do what couples who are in love and want to marry usually do. People usually don't marry someone they met only once without having a heck of a reason to do so.


Not totally playing devil's advocate but looking at it in a logical way. I agree. It's not just solely based on how you looked like in the picture. Maybe with just the way the IO phrased her reason why she is resending your case to NVC. It is easy to say and to prove to friends, acquaintance or anyone else in the family that you LOVE a person. But for someone getting an entry to another country, especially with the long long history of people doing an "arranged" marriage / mail-to-order spouses for the sake of the visa, you do need to prove an ongoing and legitimate relationship.

I am from the Philippines and girls my age who met an older man online has been denied not just because of the pictures (which shows age difference). Another thing is despite having IM's and emails and letters, it was viewed as marriage for the sake of the visa because not all couples communicate too well (I'd hate to admit: the girl usually do not speak English too well). In the eyes of the IO, how is the proposal legit when they can barely express their feelings to each other? I have a friend who was denied even if her fiance was right there with her during the interview, the guy's 10yrs older as well. It is not because they are discriminating people who do not speak English too well but because it is true, I'm sure YOU will agree, how will you get to know a person if you can barely understand what s/he says or what s/he thinks about you?

What they did was they got married here and worked on getting a spousal visa (K3) instead.

Ally and Moh, I am so sorry to read about this. I also agree on previous posts advising you to go get married instead or go be there with him when you are finally able to arrange a second interview (if you can.) Good luck! Just hang in there. Keep us posted.

CONGRATS!! i want to share this to everyone, so that you kids wont have to cram same way i did dead.gif

THIS PAGE WAS HELPFUL FOR ME during my process:

http://www.visajourn...amp;page=k1flow <- check this out before continuing happy.gif


i posted the message below in another thread but since u are already approved with ur petition, id like to share this with you as well:


at this point.you have ample time to prepare everything wink.gif you have to gather ur paperworks:

- PROOF OF PAYMENT (visa application - for Phils, it was $131, not sure with urs)
- PASSPORT. You must have a passport valid for at least six (6) months
- birth certificate
- certificate of no marriage (if never been married) of benifiaciary
- PROOF OF TERMINATION OF A PRIOR MARRIAGE (divorce decree, annulment decree or death certificate, etc.)
- police clearance of all countries you have lived in since 16 yrs of age
- COURT AND PRISON RECORDS: Applicants who have been arrested, charged or convicted of a crime must present copies or transcripts of court or prison records relating to the crime or offense
- evidence of having met within the past 2 years (pictures, his / your boarding pass to visit, receipts while together, etc)
- evidence of engagement (receipts of gifts you bought for each other, emails, snail mails, phone records, photographs
- VISA PHOTOGRAPHS
- medical examination @ accredited hospital in your area (do a lil research, idk about ur place lol XD)

FORMS available for dload at: http://travel.state....forms_1342.html

DS-156 NONIMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION (2 copies)

DS-157 SUPPLEMENTAL NONIMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION (2 copies) <- once you pay for the application fee, the bank will give you ONE copy of this form, with the receipt attached and a stamp on the back of it. make sure you keep the receipt attached. this will be one of the 2 copies you will bring with you during the interview.

DS-156K NONIMMIGRANT FIANCE(E) VISA APPLICATION ( 1 copy )

>>>> EVIDENCE OF SUPPORT <<<<
A completed I-134 Affidavit of Support Form will be useful to the consular officer to evaluate your petitioner’s ability to be financially responsible for you. You should also submit your petitioner’s most recent U.S. Federal income tax return (Form 1040) and wage statements (Form W-2). Employment letters stating salaries and bank statements may be included to substantiate the I-134. Download Form I-134 at http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis.

(about the evidence of support and his income tax return, it will be asked from you during the interview. right now, have him prepare his ITR, prepare the AFFIDAVIT OF SUPPORT AND HAVE IT NOTARIZED, FEDEX it to you. PLEASE dont use USPS. i had horror stories about it lol)


i had a bit of struggle only on "proof of engagement" as i was not sure how to show that we communicate regularly - we only used skype to call each other, we dont email on a regular basis, we dont do snail mail...so i printed out receipt payments from paypal for our skype credits, my facebook emails with his mom, a few pictures and the receipts and boaring passes that we had. the consular officer asked why i pay for skype, he was like "i thought skype was free, why pay for it?" and i told him "well, you can get credits with ur CC /paypal so you can make international fone calls on a cheap rate.. then he only looked at 6 out of 15 pictures i presented then said "congratulations, your visa is approved" then handed me my pink slip biggrin.gif

good luck and i hope this saves you a lot of time for gathering ur paperworks. i was rushed coz i didnt know about all these other things and i had to reschedule my interview coz i knew i wouldnt have the paperworks ready by then.

you are just on NOA1 and you can never tell if they will request for further evidence (RFE) before issuing you with NOA2 but its good to have all your papers ready as early as possible, so you dont have to cram LIKE I DID sleep.gif lol ! good luck and let us know what's up!! smile.gif

P.S. they only asked for the affidavit of support and Income Tax Return, but it wont hurt to have his W2 and employment certificate; bank record handy. they might ask for it! good luck !! <3

Wish me luck folks -- I got my Interview date yesterday set for the Vancouver consulate on Thursday, November 19th! I'm so excited/nervous/anxious! The day before that is my medical sooooo I hope everything works out! Eeps!

Good luck to all you other May filers! smile.gif xoxoxo


hmm.. i am not sure if they are the ones who give you the medical exam schedule in your region.. but i know for a fact that here in the Philippines, you SHOULD have to have your medical exam at least A WEEK BEFORE your interview. let me know if it's the same for you. because they need time to send the medical exam results to the embassy .. and they ask this from us so that should anything go wrong during the medical exam, you still have time to set things right before your interview date.

good luck.

@ken love: gratz to the approval! (and to everyone else)

i had a bit of struggle only on "proof of engagement" as i was not sure how to show that we communicate regularly - we only used skype to call each other, we dont email on a regular basis, we dont do snail mail...so i printed out receipt payments from paypal for our skype credits, my facebook emails with his mom, a few pictures, receipts and his boaring passes for his first and second visit..

after looking at my documents, the CO asked me some basic info, jasons bday, my bday, jason's job.. then the convo rolled to...

CO: so how did you and jason meet?
Me: we met on myspace, then we started chatting and we found out we play this online RPG game, Ragnarok and we started playing / talking almost everyday.
CO: what game was it again?
Me: ragnarok.. its an online multi-player role playing game...
CO: so what do you do in the game?
Me: oh you create your character then you level up your character till you reach 99.
CO: how do you do that?
Me: (i was confused) uh, how do you level up?
CO: yeah, do you just sit in the game? (smirks)
Me: oh no.. you get gears and kill monsters and you also play with a guild. (i was trying my best not to laugh at this point lol)
CO: oh ok. (*pauses to look at my evidence of relationship) - so how do you guys communicate?
Me: we call and chat on skype. he can also get online too.
CO: i see your skype bills.. i thought skype is free?
Me: well, you can get credits with ur CC /paypal so you can make international fone calls on a cheap rate..
CO: oh ok. (*looked at some more papers then handed me back my "evidences) so what's your plans when you get in the states?
Me: well, he is going to pick me up from here in the phils and we will travel home together,he works 2 weeks straight in the slopes then he has 2 weeks off. so when we get there, he will be going to work then we will get married on his next hitch home smile.gif
CO: (*looks at papers, pauses..looked at 6 out of 15 pictures i presented) which state does he live?
Me:Alaska.
CO: you'll be there during winter. cold. good luck!

then said "congratulations, your visa is approved" then handed me my pink slip biggrin.gif

woot ~~

thats good to hear starlight.. and sorry i havent been on for a long while jeessh all these paperworks are driving me insane.. i have i have set my medical exam date and interview date but i have a new problem crying.gif

the philippines had a really really bad storm and mail is delayed. he sent in all my paperworks last september 10 and it said on usps tracking online that it was delivered in the philippines last september 15. ok so i wait till i get it and its not arriving in my mail box. i called the post office just now and they said that the office was flooded !! omg!! crying.gif

i was told to call back tomorrow or drop by the office. i'll go and see if they have my mail. please pray that they have it safe and sound --- coz it includes my NOA2 (original copy) -- that is the ONLY ONE thats important in that letter. all the others are replacable, even the receipts and pictures he sent initially for the petition are alright to get lost. but the NOA2! omg!!

during the interview, do you think the consular officer will understand why i dont have the original of NOA2? my fiance kept a photocopy and scanned it as well so he can send me a copy again... if (and i hope not) the mail got lost, is a photocopy ok to send? thanks in advance.

I was going to get my fiance to do that today, but then I found out that his days off switched to Thursdays.
Oh well, not like calling super early will accomplish much.


And should I keep calling NVC till I know when the packet left?
There isnt much info in the NVC section for K-1 applicants, so once we get our NVC #, do they update it in the automatic system so we dont have to keep going to a live person?

Wow! We missed you!!!!!!!!!!!! Where have you been besides VJ? laughing.gif Remember this is your home now laughing.gif
Hey I am sure you will get your packet 3 very soon onces NVC gets your file. Then they forward it to the consulate. That wait is about 2 weeks or so.

Me on the the other hand is going crazy with this RFE crying.gif

I am thinking I am going to get a denial. Because the divorce decree they want from India will not come in time. So, the lawyer wants me to submit some other evidence. But, per indian law my religious divorce is considered legal. The lawyer is confident I will not get a denial. But, I feel it might not be enough. Sorry just venting and worrying. crying.gif

I just realized I say "like" too often so it seems I have to edit laughing.gif


laughing.gif i missed you too luv.gif

well aside from going crazily excited about the NOA2, i have been busy working on the documents i need for the interview. is it too soon to call NVC to ask for my NVC number (one that starts with MNL for phil benificiaries)

i dont think you get the denial ! headbonk.gif if you have the papers ready by the time you get the interview then it should be fine.. dont worry too much! and i think you need to start a new thread when you get ur approval ! laughing.gif what was your RFE about? i missed a big chunk of the thread.. i fail wacko.gif

and yes i use the word "like" as well. even when talking. lmao. my fiance told me i sound like that girl from american pie (one time.. at band camp.. ) laughing.gif

They are working on May 2009 applicants right now and most likely yours are next in line. Hang in there! Let us all be glad that the CSC is waaaay ahead of VSC lol! and hopefully the wont send an RFE on the last day before the 5month target blink.gif

Also, the online thing from USCIS isn't always updated! Hang in there and let's hope that you are next in line!

*whispering* (starlight and rhiann, finally! a man who worries as much as we do! wow, my XX theory failed, or maybe he has high XX chromosomes jk)

Good luck everyone! smile.gif


Heheh tongue.gif ... actually my fiancee is the one that's been nagging me about it. I don't mind the wait so much. I just don't like her constantly worrying, saying she wont get the visa... cuz then i start worrying.


sheesh and here i thought there is actually AT LEAST ONE MAN who worries as much as we do ! lmao! good luck on your case.. keep us posted biggrin.gif

This is starting to get really frustrating. All these people who applied before and after me are already getting approved or RFE's. We got our NOA1 on May 19, and haven't gotten a single touch since then. I have a feeling that on the last day before the 5 month target, they'll send an RFE. crying.gif

jeez, dont get me started on worrying about the wedding wacko.gif lol!

and about worrying for the interview, i heard that the consulates here in the phils are kinda strict and meticulous when it comes to proof of relationship. jason said "baby OMFG chillax! it will be ok!" laughing.gif i started gathering paperworks and making a list of what he needs to send to me.

also, i have read a few threads talking about buying round trip tickets for the benificiary. is it true that we HAVE to have a round trip ticket 'cause i cant purchase one-way from the phils to the US? kinda confusing. i think its kinda early for me to worry about this but we wanna purchase tickets sooner rather than later, since it will be cheaper. but i also know that it's advisable NOT to do that until the visa is issued.

now i know why we get a long well -- WORRY FREAKS headbonk.gif


Its funny my fiance was telling me this afternoon that should not worry and the RFE is probably something meaningless. Men seem to have a lot of patience, or they just don't express it as we do. Don't buy a round trip ticket, and that is false what those threads say. I have only seen people get a one way ticket. Just hold off buying the tickets for now. You will DEFINITELY pass the interview, but you don't know when you will get the date for the interview.

I thought I would focus my mind on the wedding to get my mind off the rest of the process. Yes, it could be stressful, but right now that is the last thing I am worried about.


I agree that is why we all get a long.


well im sure the RFE is something meaningless!! and no i dont think its patience in my fiance's case. its overconfidence laughing.gif yeah i think i will hold the booking of the flight. should i call in for the schedule of the interview ? im getting worked up on this again lol. and yeah. focus on the wedding for now. where will it be held?


Well, its definitely going to be in Cali, USA laughing.gif. But not sure about the location. I just want a more simple ceremony with a few family and friends. But, I want it to be nice.

Hmm...maybe its over confidence on my fiance's part as well. That might explain him not even worried about the interview. I emailed him what he needs to know about the consulate and he did not even ask any questions. One would think he should be worried. I feel like I am the one that is going to be getting the interview laughing.gif.


lmao, told you, its the XX chromosomes that made us worry freaks laughing.gif i have been reading threads on common questions they ask. i know pretty much everything about him so i guess i shouldn't be worried on the interview. lol.

rhiann, lucky on the medical thing. i will go to my doctor tomorrow for some lab tests to see if there's anything wrong before i go to the medical for the visa. yes girls, i can be that OC. laughing.gif

good luck to us ^^

I'll probably check the tracking # for the package tomorrow.
I see no sense in doing it today.


I am sure it if was me, I probably would have checked today as well. laughing.gif


I just checked it and it's still in the same place he dropped it off at. laughing.gif
It was picked up, so it'll probably be delivered tomorrow.


LOL, if it was me too i'd be checking it every hour wacko.gif

thanks everyone!! i'm starting to gather evidences and such.. it is decided that he will come to the phils 2 days before my interview and he will be there with me. i heard that they won't even ask for any additional proof of ongoing relationship if the US citizen is there with.

i dont know what other proof they'd need from me, by that time, it will have been the 3RD TIME he's with me. lol. we dont email each other and well my fiance kinda doesn't want to give them copies of our IM's (but im going to print out a few, better sure than sorry) and we dont send anything snail mail. we use skype to call each other

and i saw from VJ website a call log extractor for skype.

HERE'S THE POST http://www.visajourn...howtopic=215292

and HERE'S THE SITE: http://www.amperordi...e-call-log.html

hope that helps!

and hang in there starlight, it will be alright. (wow that rhymes lol)kinda sucks that it has to be through your lawyer... the wait is excruciating!! lol

rhiann, im sure your NOA will be in the mail soon.

Hi! I have a question.. Is it possible NOT to get an email before getting the hardcopy? Apparently our case was touched AGAIN 08-28-2009. What does this mean!!! My fiance is at work in the slopes and he cannot check the mail and his brother won't freaking pick up my calls (lkadjfaojlamglajsdfopjasmf!!!) !

Now I'm getting worked up if we got an RFE or a NOA2 !! mad.gif

Mine had the same situation as yours.. I had 2 touches back to back. The first touch ended up being my NOA2 date and the 2nd touch must have been the day the notice was mailed good.gif Hang in there. Check your mailbox about 4-5 days after aug 28. *I never got the email approval because USCIS never updated their system. I just got the NOA2 Hardcopy instead.



THANKS! I sure hope it's the NOA2. When I called the 1-800 number for USCIS it said that they already mailed us the I-797 form and to just follow the instructions in it. i know that I-797 is a notice of approval but I-797C is the RFE and I-797E is for another kind of notice or such lol.

I cant wait to talk to my fiance's brother. he cant check the mail coz he is at work in the slopes and doesn't get home until after a week from now. im getting really anxious i swear lol
