I am done with my Immunization last November 23, 2010 after a long wait of waiting for the culture test (2 months)..... Thank God it was negative....


But the bad news is, my interview date will be on January 6, 2011.. and that was the earliest date that they can give according to st. lukes.... my husband is too much disappointed after he heard it.... We thought we can be reunited before Christmas....

Yup... :yes:...Since you went the full eight weeks, chances are very good that your culture will be negative for TB. :thumbs:

Now St. Lukes will reschedule your interview. :star:



Thanks for that....


Got a great news.. It's true that it went well.. I called the st. lukes and they told me to go back there on Tuesday, Nov. 23, 8 am for my immunization and releasing but they did not gave me yet my interview date....

Allow me be the first one to congratulate you for passing the medical...and for passing the TB culture.

:star: Congratz!!! :star:

If your culture went the full eight weeks, you are certain to be negative for TB. If the culture were positive, you would have received a phone call from St. Lukes already. They would have asked you to come in for treatment.

Good luck with your interview! :thumbs: :)



Thank you so much for that encouraging words but still I am still worried about it.... are really sure about it that if the culture test went the full eight weeks, I am negative?

Hi,

I just want to ask regarding the interview.. I am done with my sputum test last September 20-22.. and it was negative.. now I am waiting for my culture test on Nov. 17... Is it true that the St. Lukes will be the one who will assigned my interview at US Embassy Manila? Since my original date of interview was September 17 and because of my sputum test it was reschedule..


Please answer my question...

thanks...

I was a bit confused about this EAD, I have already my green card and my SS. Do I still need to apply for EAD for me to be able to get a job here in US?

PhilippinesWife has to do sputum test.

Hi! Condz, we have the same history. I underwent PTB treatment in 2007-2008, too. Although I was asymptomatic and sputum negative back then and my spot was as small as my pinky nail, I still chose to undergo treatment to stop the worries there and then. True enough, now I feel better while waiting for the sputum culture result, knowing that I've already been treated and that my recent xray shows further improvement in my lung (scar has been getting smaller even 2 years after treatment). I'm going on 5 weeks on my sputum culture this coming week. Looking forward to a negative sputum test result when I call SLMEC on Oct. 8. Good luck and more patience to us! :-)




yeah.. good luck for the both of us... I knew that scar will not erase anymore.... But still I'm stressful....

PhilippinesWife has to do sputum test.
I have the same situation right now.. I have a history of PTB way back 2007-2008... and now when I went to St. Lukes to have my medical last September 6, they still saw some suspicious substance... so I need to get my sputum test on Sept 20-22... I pray it will turn out negative.. Unfortunately I need to wait for the two months for my interview.. How I wish it will end well......

So you suggest that it's okay to submit the requirements complete? Cause I just called the DFA(the one who process passport here in the Philippines), the estimated date that I will get my passport is on 1st week of July.... So it's okay that we will just send the DS-230 and the civil documents on July?
condzFemalePhilippines2010-05-23 21:24:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChoice of agent and address
I guess my case can't be complete because my passport is still on process for 2 weeks before they'll deliver it to me... Is it okay if my husband will just send the copy of my birth certificate, marriage certificate, the DS-230, my photos and the police certificate and to follow the photocopy of my BIO passport?
condzFemalePhilippines2010-05-23 09:07:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChoice of agent and address

YES - NVC is really specific about documents on the DS-230. Please read all 7 pages of http://travel.state..../info_3190.html All 7 pages.



Hi again!

OK since I am going to submit it again the problem I have right now is my passport.... Because in getting our Philippine passport here is by appointment... The appointment I got is on June 29...
condzFemalePhilippines2010-05-22 21:59:00

oh my. those documents were submitted with the I-130 ? OUCH ! Sorry !

Have a read? all you need is there --> http://www.visajourn...ost__p__3951655




The link you suggest is the page of the forum we have.... The documents that was posted to the Visa applicant processing were submitted together with I-130... Do I need to submit it again?
condzFemalePhilippines2010-05-22 03:34:00

Marriage Certificate, etc. were submittted to USCIS...And I need to send my husband a police certificate to the US?

Hi again!

I checked again online, the IV fee bill already generated in the system it costs $400. How am I going to pay it?

What is IV fee bill?
condzFemalePhilippines2010-05-19 23:23:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChoice of agent and address
IT was indicated to the NVC web page that the IV Apllication processing fees is not invoiced when I logged in to the system. What does it mean? Does it mean that they haven't yet received my forms that I sent back?
condzFemalePhilippines2010-05-19 19:44:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChoice of agent and address
Hi!,

The IV fee bill is not yet generated.. so that is why my husband is confused about it.. sorry if I am confused about this even my husband...
condzFemalePhilippines2010-05-19 11:00:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresChoice of agent and address

Yes! Base on what my husband did.



And how will I know if the NVC already received my DS 3032? I sent it May 7, 2010. Until now my husband don't have any update yet what will be the next step.. But base on the AOS Fee payment receipt details since it's already indicated PAID,


***"Once the Payment STatus is PAID you must print out the Document Cover sheet and attach it to the document sent to NVC.

PAID TRANSACTIONS - For each payment with a Payment Status of PAID, print a copy of the Document Cover Sheet (one for the paid AOS fee and one for the paid IV application processing fees). The document sheet will provide you with a correct address to which you must return your documents now that you have paid your fees.****


So me and my husband was confused.. Does my husband need to wait for the call from the NVC before printing out the document cover sheet and the I-864?


THANKS!!!

1. No.
2. Send in the I-864 with the coversheet. That 'Document Cover Sheet' generation __IS__ NVC's consent to send it in.
3. Hard to forecast, all depends on your husband's ability to get the DS-230 INTO NVC . If he is pro-active, then I predict 3 to 4 months. At some point, the 'appointment letter' will be sent to you two, and with the appointment letter in hand, you can go forth with the medical exam.

Most ppl are pro-active about this, and PUSH things into NVC, basing 'status' of 'when to send in' on the payment portal status.

Here's a mini how-to - have a read?

HI!

Thaks for answering my questions. But I need to clarify about my question number 2. My husband needs to wait for the consent about the I-864 forms and the printing of document cover sheet?


Thanks again...

Hi!


I need your help please....


My husband is in the US. the latest letter that we received from the NVC was the Choice of Agent and address.... Now after I answered the forms I send it back to NVC address that was indicated to the letter.


MY QUESTIONS ARE:

1. My husband has a copy about it, does he need also to answer it?

2. When we checked through the www.ImmigrantVisas.state.gov, the AOS fee of $ 70 is already paid and my husband printed already the Doucument cover sheet... What will be the next step he should do? Is it ok to print out right away the AOS forms without the consent of NVC since it was already indicated there that it was paid already.. cause he'd been trying to call the NVC hotline but unfortunately it was always busy....

3. How many months will I wait for the Medical exam and interview?

Hi!


Need you help again....


My husband called up the NVC and ask if they already received the AOS Package that he sent and they told him that they already received it but when he ask it through email they told us that they haven't yet receive it.. We are so confused about it... Which is more reliable the NVC or the email inquiry?

I have sent my documents (ds230) before 4 days. Today I called and of course say they have not received the documents. I sincerely hope that you and me and others who have posted at the end of June, will be all over in mid-July at the latest!



I'm praying also about it.. Hoping that we can finish our papers as soon as possible.....
