When the time comes I want to fly to the Philippines to pick up my fiancee. How is the best way to do this? Since round trip tickets are cheaper
than one way I thought about just purchasing two round trip tickets eventhough her seat would not be used going to the Philippines just coming back. Is this a possibility? Or is there another way of handeling this situation?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsLost all faith - July VSC


Sasha and I have agreed to meet in Moscow


Ouch, I wish I could go to Moscow for Christmas too to be with my loved one. Didn't work out though, so we're meeting in Egypt in mid-January instead...at some point I was hoping that we'll receive NOA2 before that, and that I'll have to cancel the trip. I'm glad I didn't - now it seems like we will not be through with this process until late spring or summer.

Good luck to you - hope you'll get your NOA2 for Christmas (or at least for the Orthodox christmas on Jan. 7th).

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow do you know you've been touched? Can you influence one?
QUOTE (Cassie @ Nov 9 2007, 09:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
If, early on in your Visa Journey, you accept that the notion of touches is something that VJ'ers came up with to track action on your file (real or not), and that touches really don't mean anything to USCIS, you will be much better off. I don't mean that to be snotty, I mean that in a way to preserve your sanity. smile.gif

I humbly suggest you read this and pay particular attention near the beginning where he talks about how "touches" are generated.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow do you know you've been touched? Can you influence one?
Hey All,
I'm relatively new to the site. We filed with the Vermont Service Center in June and like many are still waiting for our 2nd NOA. When I check our status on the US Immigration site I see nothing new. How do you know if and when you've been touched??? Does immigration send you an email?

I've read some postings from people who called and were touched that same day. Is it really possible to influence a touch? If so, please tell!

Thanks for any advice!

Best,

Hi Everyone,
I visited the CFO website tonight and was wondering if attending the seminar and then getting the stamp in my fiancee's passport are done at the same place? These are the two locations I saw listed on the CFO website:
CFO Manila
Citigold Center, 1345 Pres. Quirino Avenue
corner Osmeña Highway (South Superhighway)
Manila, Philippines 1007

CFO Cebu Desk
Causing-Lozada Building, Osmeña Boulevard corner
MJ Cuenco Street, Cebu City, Philippines
Thanks...

Now he is getting his medical done and I am wondering how long it will take for that.. and if he has to send that back in to get his interview appt, or just take the results with him to the interview.

Does anybody know?

wow, you would think a police station would have the ability to print more than one person at once? Thats good you finally got it though, hopefully it doesn't take them too ling to get it all done!



Our timelines are soooo close! Danial got his medical today. Good luck tomorrow!


We sent our original medical documents in with the rest of the packet 3, but it seems like you can hold on to the originals and bring them with you to the interview:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - September 2014

Ok so I'm freaking out because my wife whom I'm sponsoring just sent me all her docs, all is good there, but I just now noticed that in one of the things on the list of items I need to send to NVC says "petitioner documents". What exactly does this mean? I'was born there in the Dominican Republic, and if they want my birth certificate it'll cost me another $55 to send this way from there plus however much to get it. Can anyone elaborate for me? I did call NVC yesterday and they said her bc is what's needed, but I don't want mistakes to get a checklist.

 

You won't need to send through your birth certificate. If you have a US passport than that should be enough for proof of citizenship. 

 

I believe the petitioner documents are pertaining to the AOS package, have you seen this: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

hamo13, i was only able to speak with two reps, both of them said so long as i have sent in original documents and copy of biometric page of the beneficiary, we are all good, not including copies of original IV Document will NOT get you checklisted. Hope to god that is true, hate to see checklist later in dec when they are reviewing my IV Docs....
 

 

I'm in the same boat as you guys. I didn't include copies of the originals, just sent originals. I'll try calling them later today to see if I get the same answer. Will keep you posted.

I just realized I also didn't send copies with my IV Package. Ugh... My package will be arriving in two days according to tracking. I might give them a call today I guess....

 

Any other thoughts on this point guys? I really don't want a checklist that would make me wait another 60 days. I'd prefer bringing them to the interview.

Hello

 

Just got an email about the IV fee invoice but still cant pay the fees online.

Is this normal or should I call NVC..is there a time lag between email and actual invoice generation on the site

 

Thanks

 

It's normal. The option to pay should apprear within the next 24-48 hours. The same thing happened with us. :)

Hi

Can anyone please explain that what does this shows?

does it means that case is complete or about to get complete?

or AOS fees status should change from PAID to N/S to have this meaning?

Thank you

 

My case looks exactly the same. It means we are still waiting for them to review the packages. According to those who've had a CC it will happen when PAID is changed to N/A.

PhilippinesRumors True? Don't Let It Be!

So please correct me if I am wrong. My fiance is in New York City and he have applied and sent in paperwork. It has gotten accepted at the California location, I recently had a Medical and we are so close to finish. I miss him so much!!! The last thing is interviewing me at the embassy and receive my visa.

 

I heard rumors from my friends and people close to me that there are lots of interviewees getting denied on 13th, 15th, 17th of the month. Is there any truth in this? I hope this is all just jokes! How horrible it is! So I just want to hear from the community here if there is truth within this rumors or if you had interviews on this days last few months and got denied. Just want to help the community. This is the only reason I created a account here and is my first post so be nice to me! 

 

 

tc always,

Jenny

PhilippinesQuestions about my Wife's Philippines citizenship

My wife and I are newly married and while this may seem far out I need some guidance in how her Philippine citizenship is affected by our marriage here in the USA.

We both know that when our retirement?s comes we will be returning to Negros Oriental in the Philippines and wanted to know once her time reaches 10+ years and we have filed all our paperwork and she becomes a citizen does she loose her Philippine citizenship and all the benefits that comes with it.

The ability to buy land is the most important as we are thinking on a few ventures and the land will be essential as renting land is a sure fire way to see your business rise and then crumble.

 

If anyone can post a forum or give advice as to how they handled this, relocating back to the Philippines and starting a business after completing a k1 visa I would greatly appreciate this info.

Looking to set a map for our "Happily ever after"

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHow long for an interview date??

Thanks for the link ahiari! We don't have case complete yet sad.png waiting on the to review one document! But I think it will be closed sometime in August so accoring to this link I will have an intervew date in September? Think it can be later then that?thx

 

No problem.

Well, if you have submitted the required document already, you should get a case complete soon.

I don't know exactly the time frame for Romania, but hopefully you get an interview date for September.

NVC schedules interviews throughout the month, so keep calling them to find out when your case is completed and then keep calling to see if an interview is scheduled.

You can go check out your country's portal from the top menu ->Portals -> Romania for more details.

 

Good luck!
