PhilippinesHow can I make her transition easier?
Thanks everyone for a lot of really great suggestions.

I love her, I know she loves me. I know that she will fit in and make the transition just fine. That doesn't mean it will be a simple process or that there won't be bumps along the way. I just want to do everything I can to make it as easy for her as possible.

Can anyone offer any suggestions on finding a local Filipino community or even a few nearby Filipino families? I've been to the local Asian grocery and asked there. Most of their customers are Chinese and they couldn't offer any help on finding Filipino families.

PhilippinesHow can I make her transition easier?
My fiancee will be joining me from the Philippines in about a month (assuming we don't run into any problems with the interview on January 3).

I know it's not going to be an easy time for her. She will be leaving behind everything that is familiar. Her support structure (family and friends) will be an entire world away. I will be all that she has here.

There are a lot of people in this forum who have already gone through this and I'm hoping you will share your experiences and offer any advice you can think of that might help to ease her transition. What problems have you run into OTHER THAN general AOS, DL, SSN and other process related things. Those have all been covered in other threads. I'm talking more about cultural issues, communication problems, finding your way around and just generally fitting into your new life here.

This topic could easily apply to a much wider audience than just Filipinos, but since my fiancee is Filipino, I was hoping for more of a Filipino perspective.

PhilippinesMedical & Interveiw
Good luck. I know exactly what you're feeling. My mahal Elisa is also very close to her interview (Jan 3). She had an early medical on Dec 3 so at least we got that out of the way. I can't wait to get her here with me. We've been waiting for so long. If all goes well at the interview, she could be here inside of a month.

I would love to be able to fly to Phils so that I could come back with her. Unfortunately, finances just don't permit it right now.

PhilippinesK1 / US Citizenship Interference
What I'm going to say assumes you have spent time living in the US and have met the US residency requirements. If you can show that you have lived within the US for at least five years of your life, then you've met the requirements. The five years do not have to be continuous. If not, there are other exceptions you can use to meet the requirements. I won't go into those here.

You are a US citizen and if you have met the US residency requirements, then your daughter is AUTOMATICALLY a US citizen the day she is born, provided, you can prove paternity and you agree to support the child. If you were married to the girl's mother, these last two things would not be required. As long as you meet these requirements, it is just a matter of getting the US citizenship that your daugeter already has to be recognized by the US government. There is no need for naturalization.

The process that Marnie did a very good job of describing is to get your daughter's US citizenship RECOGNIZED. It is not the process to actually get that citizenship. She is already a US citizen.

If you decide to marry in the US, you will need a K1 visa for your fiancee. If you decide to marry in Phils, you will need a K3 visa for your wife. As a citizen, you daughter does not require a K2 visa, she requires a US passport.

PhilippinesNovember NOA2 approvals for USEM interviewers
QUOTE (dommel @ Dec 16 2007, 09:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
helo there Ripolo,

I was told by beng and carl here in vj that as soon as you have the medical and interview dates online you can have an early medical,,,just print the appointment from the internet then call the SLEC hotline. tell them that you have your sched online and pinted it, then ask them if you can have you medical in an early date....then also tell them if you could just pick up your packet in SLEC...

update me of what SCLEC will tell you about picking up your packet from them..wokei?...
hope to hear from you soon..

i hope I will my medical and interview dates soon, the fact that we had our petition approve the same date... blush.gif


The medical exam is generally scheduled one week before the interview. It's best to have the exam done 2 to 4 weeks before the interview. This will allow extra time for St Lukes to get the results to the embasy and also allows you time to take care of any issues that may come up during the exam. If you get the exam done more than a month before the interview, there is a very good chance the embassy will make you get another one.

When Elisa talked to the embassy a couple weeks ago, she asked about picking up the visa in person and was told that the visa can be picked up in person IN SOME CASES. It's at the discretion of the person who does the interview.

PhilippinesNovember NOA2 approvals for USEM interviewers
November 7 - Our NOA2 was sent from the NVC (after sitting in the USCIS mailroom for almost 6 weeks)
November 20 - The embassy sent packet4 with the appointment letter

The interview is scheduled for January 3. Elisa had an early medical exam on December 3. Right now, we're just holding our breath until the interview.

PhilippinesJanuary Interview at US Embassy Manila

correction: January 3, 2008 was their interview date. hehe...


Hi Begn and Carl,

Congratulations. Elisa also had her interview on Jan 3 and was approved. Now we're waiting for the embassy to print the visa.

Does anyone know how long we can expect to wait for the embassy to hand the visa off to Delbros?

I just got off the phone with Grace at the embassy a few minutes ago, but she just gave me the standard dogma about the process taking a week.

PhilippinesJanuary Interview at US Embassy Manila
Hi all,

You can add us to the January interview list. Elisa has her K1 interview scheduled for Thrs Jan 3.

I'm on pins and needles. I can't wait. We've already had the medical so the interview is all that remains (I'm being optomistic here).

Best of luck to everyone

Congratulations and goodluck :thumbs:

My wife left Cebu 28 months ago to come to North Carolina. I can not imagine my life without her. Love her always and
forever. Remember she loves the food from home...so lots of rice and fish for her!! Ingat..enjoy your life together

PhilippinesAfter over a year.... here she comes!

Hi everyone,

Finally after a year+ of immigration stress, Lorna leaves Cebu today for Manila.
She'll spend the night there and leave in the morning for Tokyo.

Then to Portland, Oregon. Then finally arrive in Medford, Oregon Wed. afternoon.

The positive for taking so long is I have been able to add a master bedroom and a brand new bathroom as well as MAJOR cleaning, hehehe!

I just wanted to thank everyone at this site for all the great info and help and friendship to help get us through all of this.

I can't imagine how we would have done all of this without this site and you folks.

Thank a bunch and good luck and God Bless everyone going through the journey!

Love and peace!
Lorna & Mike

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionConditional GC Approved without Interview
QUOTE (mawilson @ Sep 14 2007, 12:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I was just thinking... USCIS adjudicators don't just do things on a whim - there are
manuals, memos, rules and regulations to follow.

The Adjudicator's Field Manual is available online and doesn't mention any special
rules for people approved without an interview.

Unless there's a secret memo we don't know about, or the redacted public version
of the manual is missing a few pages, we have to assume that the same rules apply
to everyone, no?



That would indeed be the most rational presumption. However, it is also possible that I-485 files of those approved without interview are "flagged" for closer review during I-751. Flag or not, we are hoping that this closer review does not mean an automatic interview but, rather, it would still be the adjudicator's discretion whether or not an interview is required based on the evidence submitted with the I-751.

I'd definitely be watching my I-485 file to see if it gets a touch when my I-751 gets touched too. But, I have to get my NOA first biggrin.gif

Just wondering,

When speaking to someone about all this immigration stuff they told me, and was just wodering if anyone else thought the same, that the whole year (from 2004 until 2005) that I waited for my conditional green card to be processd that that would count toward my citiizenship application, inclusive of my conditional green card and my one year waiting for it that that is the 3 years? anyone else hear that?

I am waiting for my husband to call the line and ask as I know if I call they won't understand what Im saying


Unfortunately, that's not true. The three year requirement for eligibility to naturalize starts from the date the first green card is granted. So, the basis will be the Resident Since date.

Hi again everyone. I have been patiently waiting for my check to be cashed by Nebraska (almost a month since I sent in my application) and woo hoo it is showing on my bank account at last. I clicked on the check image and found that the back has been stamped by California Svc Centre. Do you think we have been transferred there again??? Can't wait to get my NOA1 to find out. Has anyone else looked at the back of their check?

Will keep you all posted.


Isn't it incredible how we get so excited over money taken out of our bank accounts? laughing.gif

Yes, that was the first thing I did when I saw the check had cleared ... pulled up the image and checked for a service center number. Sure enough, it showed WACxxxxxxxxxx. So, yes, your file was transferred to and received at the CSC. Here's hoping for a quick processing for all of us!

I'm just wondering though if the extension letter will show both my and my son's names. He will soon be applying for his Lvl 2 driver's license and we're not sure if they will ask to see his (soon to expire) GC again or if his learner's permit is enough.

I would hate to be rushed because my GC is almost expiring and I don't have an extension NOA yet.

That's a valid point. On the other hand, I haven't used my GC once in the past 2 years,
so I don't really care if it expires.


True. I guess as long as USCIS receives your application before your GC expires, you will be okay.

It's probably a matter of personality. I'm the type who doesn't want to wait for the last minute in case I make a mistake the first time around and the entire packet is returned to me. I would hate to be rushed because my GC is almost expiring and I don't have an extension NOA yet.

Yeah! You'll probably see your checks post to your bank soon. And, your file is definitely at CSC already as they have forwarded all I-751s sent to TSC after July 1.

It's interesting because I checked our online account last night and the checks were not posted yet. They only showed up this morning (my I-751 and my son's biometrics fees).

so, just so I get this straight, all the people on this list DID NOT have an AOS interview???? You lucky peeps!


Yes, we were lucky enough to have benefitted from the backlog reduction program that started a couple of years ago. The list is still growing (see link to CSC Transferees in my signature below).

So now, we are waiting to see if we will be called for interview this time around.

Don't want to interfere by editing the list, but as there are only four service centres wouldn't it be clearer to group them into fours on the list and list them by date order?

Just a idea, if you want me to do it if your busy I can always do it? good.gif

The vermont date I see didn't even move from Jan this year its been stuck there for a couple of months,,,typical



Gemma, I think that's a good idea! I'm at work right now and would certainly appreciate if you can revise the list. smile.gif

Thanks!!

Hi! smile.gif Was your AOS approved without interview? Just wanted to check as the purpose of this list is to see whether those whose AOS were approved without interview would be called for interview during the I-751 stage.

Stefanie - you had an AOS interview, didn't you?

This thread is only for people whose I-485's got transferred to CSC and approved without an interview.


OOppss.. thanks for catching that Mark.

We should run our own "background checks" - LOL tongue.gif

Do you still have the final list of CSC transferees?



I still have the list that I was keeping before I "turned it over" to those still active in the old topic. I'll locate it and keep it handy for reference. I might even "seek" those who should be about ready to file around now.

Apologies to Stefanie and TSC_2003_0918. There has been so much speculation whether or not those whose AOS were approved without interviews would be called for interview during the I-751 stage. So, we thought of keeping track of such cases.
