This morning I decided there was no sense in checking CRIS everyday since there are no touches. I would just wait for the email. When I opened up my email there was four mails from Chris. It seems both Meryll's applications where approved yesterday. kicking.gif jest.gif biggrin.gif good.gif

And there were no touches on CRIS until today.

I hope the rest of my friends here on VJ will get there approvals this week too. good.gif

Our I-130 and I-129F applications were approved 4 Sep 2007. I received the e-mails late last night.

To note, I did send letters to every office of my Representative and two Senators, about 13 letters in total. My Representative's response indicated they didn't do much more than I could have from their feedback; however, one of the Senator's very well could have made a difference, after some specific prayers for approval.

Good luck in your continued journey. At first I was in minor shock and disbelief, along with a lot of joy. Now I'm focused already on what is next.

God bless,
Robin

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresSt. Luke experience
Hello Everyone this is my time to shared to all of you my Medical Experience at St.Luke.

I having early medical appointment in St.Luke last 12/17. At the first day of the examination everything was fine until the second day for my immunization that makes me everything disappointed and worried they ask me a sputum test. I rang my hubby and he called me back. I told him about the Sputum test, I know and I felt how much he was disappointed, but he give me a loving support and comfort during that time but i still not felt comfortable and cant sleep, so really disappointed and I blame my self about this. I wish I have a early check up for our Doctor at our place, all was totally gone my excitement to see my Husband again with his arms for 9 months we not see each other man its so really missing him.

So then my Sputum was schedule it was a 3 days and it was started at 12/19 to 12/21. During the first day, I still worried and disappointed but it was started already the test they were giving me, but i never stop prayer, my family, friends,priest and most of all the undying love support and cared of my sweet dearest Husband James. Until i never know the 3 days sputum test was done. They tell me to came back at 12/26 for the pulmonary test and evaluation. A little nervous and worried, but that day was really happy. I am negative and just still wait the 8 weeks for the culture of my sputum. Waiting days, so hassle and my interview was re-schedule already but they didn't give me yet my re-interview date after i get my result this coming Feb.15,2008. I saw my x-ray chest there and it was a small dot i saw there in my left side in my lungs near my shoulder( Looking when i was a child i have a asthma until my 7 yrs old, my asthma was gone and `till now. I never tell the doctor the time she ask me coz i want to make it sure i haven`t asthma no more but the evaluation day i already told the other doctor and i was explain her why i didn't tell the other Doctor and she tell just continue to pray after the 8 weeks culture cause even a little small dot they saw there was a possible to be a positive. And i hope it will not be happened and still be negative again so they give my approval so i can have my re-schedule interview date and to see my loving husband soon to lived him forever.

A little tip to all having a Medical appointment just have a early Medical so you haven`t not a trouble like us here who experience this test and go there totally healthy don't go there you have a cough and cold it will make you another trouble too.

To my friends here in VJ, thank you for all of your prayers and courage to me specially Ate Cherry, to Pia i meet her already at SLEC and to all people here sent a prayers to me thank you guys!
Most specially my Hubby James thank you so much you know that already.

Still pray for me guys for my other result after 8 weeks.

Belated Merry Christmas and Prosperous New to all!

I saw your timeline and noticed that you are already married.. I am wondering why did you file K3 instead of CR-1 Visa since you are already married??..



Because K3 is for married couples who want to be together faster than a CR1 can be processed maybe? (in most countries anyway, K3 is a bit faster).

To the OP, once you have your K3 and have moved to the US, you will need to apply for Adjustment of Status and Employment Authorization. Depending where in the US you will be living will depend on the processing time. The fees are currently $1010. See the AOS forum and the Guides above for detailed info.

Thanks your reply. But I want more to know about the unconditional residence and pernament residence it will be apply after the AOS approval?

Hello VJ ,

I wanted to ask some info. after you get in usa with your k3 type of visa , you really need to apply AOS right? Im so confused and wanted to know how the visa flow after you get in usa,after you apply AOS what next? Does it mean someone can have a green card that time too. I know it was far enough for me to know about this but just want to know how it works. Im curious about this and wanted to more. Your reply are needed, Thanks.

You know K3 is more head aches than a CR-1 Visa.. Yes you two will be reunited quickly, but you can not work till you adjust your status and apply for EAD..

Please read the above post for information.



Thanks to your reply.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresThere was sun after the rain...
I was woke up 3:30 am in the Morning but went to sleep again but the Information at hotel give me a wake up call at 4:00 am. So, I get up and start to take a ready myself when i was in the middle of ready myself My Husband called me and tell him to call me back again after i done.

4:25 done fixing myself called back my husband and told him this is the Time we waiting for after the long 9 months we waited after the cultured of my sputum and treatment to be done. After i talked him, called chowking for food delivery at my room. Few mins. delivery was came and I done take my early breakfast at 5:00 am. Going down the Hotel and pause a little while and pray that God Holy spirit sent me to enlighten me and guide me all what im going to do there inside the Embassy at the front of Pre-screnning and Consulate. ( And Meet a good consul and filipino pre-screnning too.)

Exactly 5:15 am i Arrive in Embassy since i just only walking down there. Waiting our time to be called I gain and meet some new acquintance friend there. Great to get rid off the Nervous I little felt but i remember that i offer to Him my day already and all what happened after the Interview. Has a little funny there, when the 7:00 applicants was called i going them too but i was think im not 7:00 applicant so i went back where i stand and waiting but im little hardheaded i walked back again but the man who hold a radio ask me what time my appointment so i said 7:30 am so he said just wait your time to be called. ( Just little bit excited and wanted to be done early, huh!) So, when the Seaferres andTourists applicant was called for 8:30 am i was worried huh, nervous and worried. ( Note: Just relax and wait.)

6:10 am Finally we called and Im the one who in the first going there (Excited). I do fall in line in Immigrant line but someone first in my line who had the appoinment time is 6:30 am doesn`t get easy to enter with his son and daugther. Guard ask him a ID any kind to represent really who he is but he doesn`t have any , so the guard ask of a man looks like a higher level of his Job if he can enter but this man ask that old man any id but this man insist that all represent him for being he was are all inside the usem. So, finally they allowed, hmmp it takes a 15 mins of checking them. And thanks to my Angel (Husband) who always remind me my Id to bring i easy to get inside the embassy and tell to go at Gate 2. Things scanning all are fine. Lady Guard checking my body and allowed me to go the first step to meet the filipina Pre-screnning and Consul. Even i was been in USEM in ( 4 ) times I still forget where i go enter I go to the seaferrers place and some of them was looking me. Maybe thinking what this girl where going....??? ( Im very nervous but stay confident huh.) So, I went to the Door but he*k i was not looking what said there i push instead to pull. Filipino naturalism, hehehhe but cant get in of course so i pull it and went inside. I know where go since been there also of the VJ members experience i read. So , I go seat first and double check my DS`s I brought all are fine i guess. There was a lady said to ready a 2 copies of DS-156 and DS-157 ( remember one DS-157 i ready was delbros i payed ) but i have still 5 copies of DS-156 and DS-157, Hehehhehe. Then Lady started to collect and check but mine and our chair lines horizontally wasn`t checked so i was a little confuse so i ask the guard. I felt okay when guard told me she will back, smiled him and say thanks. Then has a Green Lady near me ( Hehehe, She wearing green shirt that is why i called her Green.) and told me why i didnt get my number so i stiid up to fall in line in to get a number when but i forget to 2x2 pic. so went to the chair i leave my bunch of evidence and get my picture there but i back where i next the line. I give my Appointment letter to a nice lady and she checked it but she recognize that i was 7:30 applicant so she ask me and what time the others behind me so i looked to the people behind me and looking in nothing so guard told her it was 6:30 applicant behind me. So, she give me back my appointment and said okay ma`am im going to give them first a number. Thanks she not rude and im not shamefull much there. ( Silly, me.) Nothing to do but seat back where i sitting down and wait our turn.


7:13 am, finally i get a number its 7008 and give my all DS`s to the guy (He`s the guy i always ask when I go eerytime in USEm)he smiled me guess he remembered me. He check all my DS`s and staple twith my 2x2 picture id then he give my Number. Waiting again while sitting the blue chair.

8:25 am, finally my name called for finger scanning and all are went smooth.Back my sitting chair again and wait my number called.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMy Interview Experience
I was woke up 3:30 am in the Morning but went to sleep again but the Information at hotel give me a wake up call at 4:00 am. So, I get up and start to take a ready myself when i was in the middle of ready myself My Husband called me and tell him to call me back again after i done.

4:25 done fixing myself called back my husband and told him this is the Time we waiting for after the long 9 months we waited after the cultured of my sputum and treatment to be done. After i talked him, called chowking for food delivery at my room. Few mins. delivery was came and I done take my early breakfast at 5:00 am. Going down the Hotel and pause a little while and pray that God Holy spirit sent me to enlighten me and guide me all what im going to do there inside the Embassy at the front of Pre-screnning and Consulate. ( And Meet a good consul and filipino pre-screnning too.)

Exactly 5:15 am i Arrive in Embassy since i just only walking down there. Waiting our time to be called I gain and meet some new acquintance friend there. Great to get rid off the Nervous I little felt but i remember that i offer to Him my day already and all what happened after the Interview. Has a little funny there, when the 7:00 applicants was called i going them too but i was think im not 7:00 applicant so i went back where i stand and waiting but im little hardheaded i walked back again but the man who hold a radio ask me what time my appointment so i said 7:30 am so he said just wait your time to be called. ( Just little bit excited and wanted to be done early, huh!) So, when the Seaferres andTourists applicant was called for 8:30 am i was worried huh, nervous and worried. ( Note: Just relax and wait.)

6:10 am Finally we called and Im the one who in the first going there (Excited). I do fall in line in Immigrant line but someone first in my line who had the appoinment time is 6:30 am doesn`t get easy to enter with his son and daugther. Guard ask him a ID any kind to represent really who he is but he doesn`t have any , so the guard ask of a man looks like a higher level of his Job if he can enter but this man ask that old man any id but this man insist that all represent him for being he was are all inside the usem. So, finally they allowed, hmmp it takes a 15 mins of checking them. And thanks to my Angel (Husband) who always remind me my Id to bring i easy to get inside the embassy and tell to go at Gate 2. Things scanning all are fine. Lady Guard checking my body and allowed me to go the first step to meet the filipina Pre-screnning and Consul. Even i was been in USEM in ( 4 ) times I still forget where i go enter I go to the seaferrers place and some of them was looking me. Maybe thinking what this girl where going....??? ( Im very nervous but stay confident huh.) So, I went to the Door but he*k i was not looking what said there i push instead to pull. Filipino naturalism, hehehhe but cant get in of course so i pull it and went inside. I know where go since been there also of the VJ members experience i read. So , I go seat first and double check my DS`s I brought all are fine i guess. There was a lady said to ready a 2 copies of DS-156 and DS-157 ( remember one DS-157 i ready was delbros i payed ) but i have still 5 copies of DS-156 and DS-157, Hehehhehe. Then Lady started to collect and check but mine and our chair lines horizontally wasn`t checked so i was a little confuse so i ask the guard. I felt okay when guard told me she will back, smiled him and say thanks. Then has a Green Lady near me ( Hehehe, She wearing green shirt that is why i called her Green.) and told me why i didnt get my number so i stiid up to fall in line in to get a number when but i forget to 2x2 pic. so went to the chair i leave my bunch of evidence and get my picture there but i back where i next the line. I give my Appointment letter to a nice lady and she checked it but she recognize that i was 7:30 applicant so she ask me and what time the others behind me so i looked to the people behind me and looking in nothing so guard told her it was 6:30 applicant behind me. So, she give me back my appointment and said okay ma`am im going to give them first a number. Thanks she not rude and im not shamefull much there. ( Silly, me.) Nothing to do but seat back where i sitting down and wait our turn.


7:13 am, finally i get a number its 7008 and give my all DS`s to the guy (He`s the guy i always ask when I go eerytime in USEm)he smiled me guess he remembered me. He check all my DS`s and staple twith my 2x2 picture id then he give my Number. Waiting again while sitting the blue chair.

8:25 am, finally my name called for finger scanning and all are went smooth.Back my sitting chair again and wait my number called.

Just like the rest, i won't go into details what happened to my interview yesterday(Sept. 11@ 7:30am)

Pre-Interview

What's my full name?
The petitioner's full name?
What's my relation to him?
Where did you meet him? When?
How old is he?
Nature of his work?
Asked for the affidavit of support, 2006 ITR and W2?
Other documents asked: BC, NBI, CENOMAR
Pictures, snail mails and money remittances



Second interviewer with the US Consul

SMILE SMILE SMILE

I was asked to take my oath first...
My full name?
Petitioner's name?
What's his job? (errrr I thought his job is to make people nervous?) what!?! LOL
What's his favorite color( told him blue) I lied it's actually Black! LOL

I think it only took me less than 3 mins to get interviewed by this consul. I just talked fluently straight into his eyes. The interview went very smooth. Actually the first interviewer somewhat relieved my anxiety so when I was about to be interviewed by the consul, I was not really nervous. Try to be calm and confident and say a little prayer.

That was it! He told me okay Ms Diana I'll approved your visa, Have a happy married life in US of A.

He handed me down all the picts, mails etc etc and told me to wait outside and pay Delbros for my visa delivery.

Told him Thank you so much and God Bless You!

He replied Thank you and God Bless You too.


Thank you soo much guys for all the help with this journey

while this is a bit generic to hear, and presumptious of me to speak for men in general, i think most men just want some extra attention, a nice dinner with drinks and alot of loving at the end of the night.


filipino, japanese, american, hispanic, european, australian etc etc etc

Men just want you to fuss over them alittle, have a great meal and and then jer jer na ta!

he will have the best birthday ever because its with you.

Oh yeah! I agree too. (jer jer , Huh!) What a cebuano language... kicking.gif

PhilippinesNew Passport
Hello Vjers,

I need some advices all of you here about my passport, I was apply and got my passport before a few days my husband arrive here to see me and we got married. Of course my old family name i use at my passport i got since we are not yet marry that time, but now that we are married and I use my Husband name we planning to get another new passport of mine with my husband name. I`ve been go to the DFA (here in our place since they have a yearly visiting ) to change my name at my new passport but some of the people there working in foriegn affairs told me that i need to attend seminar first at the CFO in Cebu or Manila before i will going to apply again to change my new name in my new passport.

The question is, Do i really need to attend the seminar at CFO before i change my new family name into my new passport? I had a complete requirements already since i was asking in DFA Manila about that matters. Bring the passport, new Passport Id, birth certificate and Authenticated Marriage License If i attend the seminar at CFO and since we required us to attend Seminar at CFO do i have a advance seminar than that even we never know yet our Interview date? I dont want to wasting our Money and time, so if there have any cases similar like this, I need your advices please...

Thanks!
