K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresINCOMPLET NAME OF MOTHER ON K2 B.CERT.
Good day to all!

I regret that I just noticed today that on my 2nd daughter's birth certificate, my name as her mother was written as MA.Evelyna instead of a complete MARIA. We have submitted the I-129F and just got the NOA1. This makes me worry that the reviewer might notice it causing for us to get an RFE or if not during the interview necessitating to show the b. cert. as proofs.

Can please anyone share any idea on what to do about this? I would like to settle things as early as possible not to cause further delays.

Thank you so much.

Hi Jeff & Cloe! We've been hearing same problems with hiring lawyers. I don't know what's the reason behind those delays. It will really take time just with contacting and communicating to them. VJ members seem faster than them when it comes to replying. biggrin.gif

Hope things get better.

All the best! smile.gif

Hi maria, I want to keep my self positive hehehe I am not reading anything about lawyers anymore hahaha I am avoiding topics like that because as of now we are stuck between the two big words "WHAT?" and "WHAT?" hahahaha and this morning my fiance told me to email the lawyer as he also did that twice hahaha there were so many things I want to say to our lawyer but I thought it would be nice if I will be so good with just a LITTLE touch of pressure on the lawyer's part hahaha
Good thing you already have NOA from USCIS ayyy! Congrats for the NOA1. I think if we receive NOA1 we will be jumping in happiness knowing that the lawyer already made something good for us, yes very true a NOA1 will make us very VEY happy as of now hahaha.

Cloe&Jeff


Hi Cloe, I was actually wandering when you told me $500 was the fee for the whole process, from filing till you get to the US when I have read it costs thousands hiring a lawyer. Well, anyway, you have the choice to cancel his service and be be able to calm your minds than keep worrying the whole process..haha! Seem you hired a lawyer to get headaches instead of keeping yourselves lax on this process, hehehe.

Good day sis! Things will be fine soon, keep hoping.

God Bless.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDiscrepancies In Documents
QUOTE (jeffcloe @ Apr 20 2008, 08:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi everyone, thanks for welcoming us here and thanks for all who gave and still sharing their sincere opinions on the first topic I posted, would like to inform that we thought the lawyer filed it in Vermont but actually petition was filed in California (which I think is much much slower than Vermont).

I am posting a new topic about Discrepancies in Documents. In my birth certificate, one letter is wrong with my surname, instead ...riga... (which is the correct spelling) I have ...rega... on my birth certificate. When I applied for my passport years ago I had it corrected (in my passport) since I supported it with a notarized affidavit of discrepancy.

Before sending my documents to my fiance in the USA, I asked the lawyer if I need to get a notarized affidavit of discrepancy, and he said there's no need to submit that but I was asked attached a copy of my passport.

I only want to know if there are anyone in here who has same issues like this and have done their applications, I want to know if it will become a big deal later on and slower the process of the application.

Thank you so much, God bless us all.

HI Cleo, we got same worry as of now. I just noticed it last night that my name on my 2nd daughter's birth certificate was written as MA. instead of MARIA.since we have submitted already the I-129F, am worried that it might cause an RFE. I didn't send any supporting papers to attest I am MARIA since I just noticed it last night. Good for you coz you had your photocopied passport. Maybe I can anticipate by securing an affidavit of discrepancy and send it to my fiance.

Hope someone here would share on this similar case so we know what to do ahead of time.

Good luck and God bless!

Not necessarily "working" on it.
Touches mean nothing. They could simply be moving your case from one box to another.
Some people were never touched and then bam, approval.
Don't rely too much on touches, guys. smile.gif



"touched" is a simplified term for the updates on your case. I don't think the USCIS will send you email with such an update of....your case was moved from one box to another. rofl.gif

Dates showed are those being processed as to date though it seem not being followed consecutively since there are still some cases who are very much left behind. But since you go for Vermont, you can expect it in 3-5 months time even in one month time.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedurescase still pending at csc,HELP!
when he filed for k1 we just sent my boarding pass no photos only my boarding pass, is that enough evidence of meeting for the past 2 years?
He came to visit me in my country but the k1 has already been filed.

Boarding passes are secondary evidences. This supports the primary evidences like pictures that you met personally. Since he visited you in the Philippines, you probably have pictures together, why not send it to your fiance to anticipate for an RFE.

Good luck!

Yes, you can file the I-129F without your fiancee's birth certificate and the single certificate is called in the Philippines as Certificate of Non-Marriage. That will be required upon interview.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresTime spent on each I-129F?
QUOTE (Mr. Klocek @ Jul 7 2008, 02:13 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Just wondering: Does anyone know how much time an average case officer actually spends on an average I-129F? Are COs sitting in California actually scrutinizing these things for 130 days? Or, do they just take a stack of 20 of them down to the beach and give each one a 5-minute look-over before stamping "approved" on it and hittin' the waves?

I am just trying to imagine what is going on down there in Orange County because I am sick of waiting up here ...


Hello Mr. Klocek..let me share this just in case you haven't encountered reading this yet. An interview with a former USCIS adjudicator. Might give you a picture of what's actually going on inside. Btw, we have close timelines. Goodluck!

I pasted the photos in a bond paper and wrote captions on the space beside the pictures, date, place and names of the people on the pictures. The CO didnt give me a hard time on the interview. The lady beside me just gave the presceener lose pictures without any caption at the back, she didnt have any difficulties with that.

Dont worry, you'll be fine! smile.gif



Hi there!!Is it really required for pictures pasted in bond paper ?I found a photo album where you can put explanation on the side of the picture noted there as "memo" ..I can get few pages from the album itself and bind it with rings (i dont know how you call it but i hope you get what im trying to say)lol...
Can i just do that or does it really needs to ba pasted on bond papers?
thanks..god bless unsure.gif


Thought of getting pages from an album with soft pages too, but thinking twice, might be harder with pictures inserted already. LOL, this is quite too early for me, I just want to lessen the things to be settled prior to interview.

Right Laura, easier to just bring lose pics..a girly thing of making an album and yes am a bit more than of being bored..sad...of all the waiting. sad.gif

Yes, you can write in front like captions. As told by those who had their interview, bond paper will fit right in the slot, about half to 1 inch only in size, that's for USEManila.

Greetings!

When my fiance' had his first visit February 2008 we took hundreds of pictures and not one of us thought if setting the camera with the dates. I've read somewhere here that pictures must have dates to prove meeting prior to filing the petition. Will this matter? Though I got many receipts and more to show the dates.

Thank you. Please share your ideas.

PhilippinesNCLEX while on AOS for Pinay on K1

Hello everyone! I'm Aes..... I assume there have been a lot of pinay nurses who are already in the US now. My questions are:

1. Can I apply and take the NCLEX while I am on my AOS?
2. Can a pinay nurse, without the NCLEX yet, be able to get a job, even if not as a nurse yet, but somehow related to healthcare?
3. I do not have clinical experience yet since I just graduated last year, and I have been attending to my mom who is sick while on the process of our K1 petition, will I be able to get a job easily? Or hospitals do really require experience from the Philippines?


Thank you for all of you who would be kind to respond to my questions. We are still on the process of our K1, since I had scars in my lungs, reason that I had to undergo the sputum examinations and wait for 8 long weeks (when in fact sputum culture would only take 3-4 days). Yeah it is bitter that I had to undergo this, considering during the whole medical process, no patient history taking was done. If they did, they would have known why I have scars ( I had them since the first time I had my x-ray and TB was already ruled out).

Right now, while waiting for the results come Feb of this year, I want to prepare myself on the what-to-do's to practice my profession in the US, so as to help my fiance in building our lives and dreams together.

Thank you for taking time to read my post. HappyNew Year!


1.) YES, you can take the NCLEX while on AOS as long as you have the ATT (Authorization to Test) and still valid.

2.) You can work ONLY with an EAD. To work in the health care field i.e. nurse assistant, nsg.aide, etc...you would need certification which entails enrolling in a class (short term classes) and passing.

3.) It's not easy to find a job in the U.S. right now because of recession, hospitals and other jobs requires a minimum 1 year experience.

Good luck!
