PhilippinesRemittances/financial support: is it really needed?
'Remittances' are not a 'requirement' of any visa.

PhilippinesDoes anyone know any online dating sites where you can meet Americans looking for a wife in the Philippines.
I usually just click on 'interesting' topics on 'New Content' -- it's not as if I actively troll the PI forums. Not that I would.

VJ for me, is a form of entertainment. The OT and RUB forums are quite fascinating, as well.

PhilippinesHeartbroken and deceived---need help/advice

Well, initial translations are in---they apparently enjoy cyber sex on web cam, they both shower 'I love you's' on each other, and they were planning to enjoy sexual activity if she would make a visit in March or April. So, all in all, it is bad. I told her today, 'honey, I think we need you to return to the Philippines. I printed out the summary of the chat, the original chat, and a partial exact translation. She did not say a word, and still has not. I asked 'when are you ready to go?'.


Atta boy! :thumbs:

Ai, ai, ai!

Go to the bottom of this page and find the number for ICE. Call USCIS immediately and send in a notarized affidavit that you are pulling your I-864 because the beneficiary entered into this relationship solely for immigration benefit. Send in copies/translations of those chatlogs for evidence. Then have a glass of Dom Perignon to celebrate her AOS denial.

Good luck and be strong! Don't listen to this Jesus/forgiveness nonsense.

This man's wife has a boyfriend, for eff's sake. She married him for a piece of paper. She told her boyfriend that she loves him the day after she married this USC sucker. She's going to wait for 3 years till she gets her citizenship and then ditch aforementioned sucker to petition her PI lover. You think scum like this deserves a second chance? There's a special place in hell for people like this.

I know what you mean. But I believe in giving her a second chance. I can not explain my feeling toward that lady. :(


Off topic but this is another train-wreck waiting to happen.

Ai, ai, ai!

QUOTE (hartchy @ Jan 4 2008, 06:45 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
We received an email confirmation of our NOA 2 process yesterday!!!! I couldn't believe it when I saw the email! kicking.gif I called Carla immediately and she was with her family in Peru having lunch. kicking.gif kicking.gif kicking.gif

I sent our application in September 8th to the Vermont Center and it took approximately 117 days to get NOA2 approval, almost 4 months. We received one touch on September 29th and that was it. So don't be worried if you haven't received a touch in a while.

Any suggestions for what to do next?!!!
We still have a ways to go before receiving an interview and getting our Fiance Visa. Hopefully we will have an Embassy interview within 45 days and be able to keep our planned wedding date of March 15th.

Thank you Lord for finally answering our many, many prayers, Tu eres Fiel!!! innocent.gif

Thank you to Visa Journey and all the people on VJ that are sooooo great in helping us understanding the Visa process! We contnue to look for your guidance and hope that our experience encourages others. God bless you all!

Also....I forgot. While there are some very early filers (June, July) still waiting for NOA2 there are also a few October filers that have already recieved it. It is hard to put rhyme and reason to that but seems to be how it is. I wish a speedy process to you. We will have to keep in touch.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOCTOBER AND NOVEMBER FILERS
QUOTE (Nineta @ Jan 28 2008, 08:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hey, I'm a November filer as well. I hope we all have a speedy process!

Now here's my quick question: I just checked my Timeline and I read the following message "Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated as early as May 13, 2008".

Does that mean NOA2 will be received in May? Or it is referring to the whole I-129f process?

Any advice will be really appreciated.

Hopefully, the nightmare will be OVER soon!

-Nineta


Nineta, It is refering to an estimated date of the I-129F being approved. Time starts over again when after approval it is sent on to the NVC. then to the US Embassy in Spain. From the Embassy info on VJ it looks like about a week after the US Embassy in Spain recieves it from NVC you will get packet 3 and after you send back the required forms the interview will be scheduled 3 to 4 weeks out. Then if approved the Visa should come by mail after about a week. NVC and on things move faster and it looks like you have a quick embassy... some take months. I know it seems like such along time but the way I look at it is the hardest part is waiting for the NOA2. The rest will be busy waiting as opposed to the long drawn out endless waiting we are experiencing now......sorry that was the best way I could think of to explain it. laughing.gif

Wishing you the best!

We filed 9/12/07 and just got the NOA2 yesterday in the mail. Acording to USCIS this is not correct because they are still working on July 18th 2007. Not sure how we skipped 3 months but glad that we did. The only extra thing we did was pray, pray alot to Jesus. I did contact both Senators and my Congressman but they said they could not do anything, and that was frustrating.

The waiting game continues but all in His perfect plan, just not sure when that is smile.gif

Try playing with the Visa Timeline search. You can search by Service Center. It looks like the majority of the October filers that have recieved NOA2 are from VSC, Very few November filers have recieved NOA2 and if I recall like two of the 3 or so were VSC filers for Cuban fiances.....

Hey!

Just wondering if anyone has any opinions about this. I'm an I-129F filer who is a naturalized citizen. Just read the article in the Washington Post about Wendy Brown, a fellow member in Baltimore.

She said something (someone did) about the fact that people who are born and bred in the US receive responses quicker than immigrants. While I was not born here, I was brought up here from a very young age.

Is the fact that I'm naturalized really going to slow down this process? Just curious on opinions.

Thanks! I don't have any complaints, yet. Only filed in December. wink.gif

It was sort of a comedy. The email came through on my "upgraded" cell phone (read: don't understand how to use yet) whistling.gif And I could see it was from USCIS and was a case status update but I could not figure out how to open it! Then I finally figured it out and was so shocked I had to check my laptop to see if it was real laughing.gif . I confirmed the validity (hehe) of the email then commenced the hooting and hollering....

I grabbed the phone and I was so excited calling him I kept misdialing the l. o. n. g. string of numbers!!
