PhilippinesWhen to call ???
Hi prettynpink.Our NOA2 is valid till August 11,2008 but my fiancee extened it for another 4months.He will call for interview schedule this Monday night his time..but he will schedule me for the month of September.We didnt schedule right away when USEM received our papers bcoz we worked on CRBA first of our daughter.

I see,October ka pa magpa-sched ng interview mo.Good luck sa atin.God Bless!!!

hi!

you can pay your document verification as soon as you will have your MNL case number and please dont forget to always do follow ups with them. in our case, we paid the visa application fee after we got an interview schedule.

God Bless and hope you will have your NOA2 soon!

IF YOUR PAPERS ARE ALREADY AT THE NSO, CALL PJ OR RICHARD AT 02-926-7333, ASK THEM YOU WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF THE RESULTS OF YOUR DOCU VERIFICATION HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO US EMBASSY. USUALLY, IF THE PAPERS ARE STILL AT NSO, THEY WILL TELL YOU IT IS IN THERE AND THE DATE WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE REQUEST FOR VERIFICATION. IF THEY SAID THAT THE RESULTS OF DOCU VERIF ARE AT USEM, CALL LORRAINE AT 5286300 EXT. 5184/5185. OR 301-2000 THEN 7 THEN 5184/5185. WHEN CALLING THE EMBASSY, BETTER IF IT IS THE PETITIONER WHO WILL DO THE INQUIRY. ASK LORRAINE IF THEY HAVE THE RESULTS OF DOCU VERIFICATION AND THE STATUS OF YOUR VISA APPLICATION.

BEST REGARDS:)



Hi Ting,patawagin mo si fafa mo sa NSO 02-923-7333 Look for Mr.Richard.I let my fiancee called NSO and he spoke to Richard and that guy told my fiancee that they already sent my DV result to USEM then my fiancee called USEM spoke to Grace and Grace said that they received my document verification already.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionK1 Co-Sponsor Question (Manila)
Hi there.I had my interview Last Sept.29,2008.We was worrying about co-sponsor too.My fiancee called USEM spoke to Grace and she asked my fiancee what is our household size and he said 3 (my fiancee,me and our daughter).Grace said poverty line for 3 people is $17,600 only since its I-134 form for K1...so we thought its $22,000...she said its only for AOS.But we still prepared a co-sponsor for back up just in case they will ask.So my brother sent me his papers and completed and signed I-134.
During my interview..I was so nervous.Grace was right.We didnt need a co-sponsor because my fiancee meets the poverty line.The pre-screener didn't ask for it and also the consul who interviewed me.I was waiting for the consul if she will ask for co-sponsor but she didn't.I was so happy when she said I'm approved.All my worries was gone that day.

Some VJ members here had co-sponsors too and the consul accepted it.So Don't worry guys.

Good luck!!!
bluemistFemalePhilippines2008-11-05 12:23:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionPLEASE RESPONSE!!!!ASAP
Hi Cathy,


My daughter went through CRBA too.
Ako lang nag-attend sa interview coz my fiancee( husband now) is here in the US that time.Don't worry about not getting approval if ur fiancee is not at the interview.

Btw,in-include din nmin sa K1 ang anak ko as a K2.But like the other said,ur child father is a USC so pagdating mo sa K1 interview mo,sasabihin pa din ng consul sayo na ayusin mo CRBA nya bago i-release visa mo.

So what we did is,hindi muna ako nagpa-sched ng interview date ko.Inuna muna nmin ang CRBA.I ordered the forms through calling ACS-FedEx.Then my fiancee was in the Philippines that time so he just brought it with him pagbalik nya dito sa US.He filled it up and notarized.Got all the required documents that was in the check list and sent it to me.Ako nman prepare ko yung iba like my prenatal records,pictures together,our daughter's pics from birth to the time we applied and etc., Then called ACS-FedEx for picked up then after 1 day ACS called me for interview date.

Me and my daughter went there at USEM.She was approved.No DNA,No additional documents.

Tip ko lang sayo is to give them everything in the list.Especially proof ng relationship nyo from the day na nag-met kayo till now and his 5yrs.Physical presence in the US like his tax returns,W2,etc.


Good luck.If you have a question,just PM me or send me message to my YM bluemist20002001.
bluemistFemalePhilippines2010-01-18 01:42:00
CanadaCRBA Physical Presence evidence
My daughter was born in the Philippines and we applied CRBA for her.My husband is American born in Germany.So he grew up in Germany,studied there.The 5years Physical presence we submitted at the Manila US Embassy was his military history of assignments/DD-214 when he was in the Army,his tax transcripts during his military days up to the present time of the CRBA application,his W-2's,GED,College transcript,pay stubs,and bank statements

We also submitted his old and current US Passport.
My daughter was approved without DNA and we were not married yet when we filed the CRBA application.I was on K1 that time.


Hope it helps.

Good luck!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionWhen to file Removal of Condition?
QUOTE (Bobby_Umit @ Jun 25 2009, 07:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Yes. that only puts you at 87 days if my math is right.

If you try to time it, and send it prior to the 90's, even if they get it on the 90th day, there is a post here like this btw, they will send it back, since it was sent in before "90 days".

So the best way is to send it at or after the 90 day mark. (which is the date you exampled)


Thank you so much Bobby_Umit. I want to know so I can add it on my reminder and/or Notes.

Thanks again.

Hi Fellow VJ'ers,


I just got my 2 years greencard on June 18th,2009.
My expiration of my card is May 22,2011.My question is when do I have to file for removal of conditions?Is it 90days before my card expires or 90 days counting backwards from the Month/Date/Year I got my welcome letter?

Also,it makes me confuse because I saw some VJ members filed their Removal of Conditions 60days from the date they received their greencard and/or welcome letter.

Which is which?

Thank you for the advance replies.

It's within the 90 days period before the expiration of your green card, not from the date you receive it.


Thank you happywifeymom.
