K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOctober 08 K1 Filers


I only use yahoo messenger voice computer to computer calls and i don't pay for anything. After a long talk and both of us sometimes fall asleep (i just woke up then and still sleepy and my fiance is about to go to bed coz it is night time in usa) we leave our laptops beside us while sleeping hahaha. What i do is i do a screen shot of our yahoo messenger so that we have proof that we talked that long. The longest time we had was 12 hrs wherein he already woke up to get ready for work while i was just online waiting for him to wake up and just surfing the net.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsOctober 08 K1 Filers

Actually i've been thinking about this situation ever since my fiance proposed marriage. We have been living together in the USA for more than a year and moving back there isn't new to me but this time i will be with him as a wife and not just a girlfriend. I already have a lot of friends in baltimore coz i lived there for 19 months and just moved back here in the Philippines coz my training program ended it was something like the au par thing that other students do in USA.

I would be sacrificing a lot of things when i go back in America coz here in the Philippines I don't do household chores, I don't do my laundry and no cleaning of the house, i only cook sometimes it is because i want to eat something that our house maid can't cook. Not everyone in the Philippines are fortunate to live a life like how i am living but this is a kind of life i know i wont be having anymore when i move in america to be with my man. When i was there during my training i did all house hold chores, laundry, cleaning and cooking. I cook almost everyday not because i am a chef which was my job when i was there but because i wanted to take care of my fiance and he loves to eat home cooked meals.

I am excited and at the same time nervous because what if i miss my life in the Philippines and i get tired of doing all those household chores. I just hope i wont regret the path i'm taking which is to be with the man i love. I will always keep on praying that my soon to be married life would be as perfect as possible and that we will always be happily ever after. cool.gif

Also, there is a way to semi-track your package on DHL by reference number once you know it has been shipped out.


How can i track the package? where can i get the reference number?

When i was talking with NVC as soon as she gave the info about the package already left for manila i said thank you and hung up hahaha should i ask for the reference number also? got so excited knowing it left for the philippines already hahaha


You can't track your specific package but you can track all the ones going to Manila. I'll see if i can find how you do it.


Thanks laura! its already 5am here in the philippines and i still can't sleep i guess i need to put down my laptop and just close my eyes before the i see sunrise.

I am also excited for later coz i will be going to the jeweler to order my wedding rings yes.gif

This is so exciting i just called up NVC and they said they received our case Feb 19 and sent the case to manila feb 20. This is going faster than i expected. I hope when it reaches us embassy manila it will still be smooth sailing thus allowing me to leave sooner than i expected like 3rd week of march. laughing.gif

would anyone who had their NOA2 got touches after that? i am curious on how would i know if i can already call NVC i want to schedule my interview already hahaha im so eager to fix all visa concerns asap. I have been looking at uscis website every now and then and is currently waiting for new touches and maybe i would never get touches already coz of NOA2?



Kaye,

Our NOA2 was dated the 11th of Feb which was a Wednesday. I called NVC the following Tuesday (17th) night (Monday was a holiday) and they had received our petition. The woman on the phone at nvc told me to call back in one to two weeks to see if it had been shipped out to the embassy yet. I am far too impatient for that, so I called everyday since Tuesday, and it shipped out last night (Thursday) to the embassy (2 days at nvc).

I would recommend calling sooner than later for peace of mind smile.gif

Also, there is a way to semi-track your package on DHL by reference number once you know it has been shipped out.


Thanks for that information. Is it okay if i call up NVC i'm the beneficiary and i don't want to bother my fiance forcing him to call up NVC everyday coz he will also be busy with work. I also need to ask him to finish all his documents and to send it to me asap. Its good that he already has his employment certificate so what he needs to do now is his affidavit of support...no need to have that notarized right?

Thanks guys!!!! I can't wait for you all to have this feeling!!

DaveChels, yes maybe they have started a new box?!? No touches at all, then the email came straight through. It has changed on USCIS as well.

GOOD LUCK!!! jest.gif


Yeah, now it's just time to wait and see if we're in the same box as you LOL. Good to know, the only thing is I can't logon to USCIS anymore and I've changed my password and everything and it tells me I have "multiple SR" whatever that means, but I can still logon under my fiance's login. I think that was part of the original problem since we both registered our email with the same EAC # but we'll see. So I don't know if they will send me an email or him so I keep checking his email too haha.


In my case i did not get any touches i think the last touch i got was oct 8 after they placed my folder in a box. since there have been october approvals i have been checking uscis site and this thread like every 10 mins hahaha lol it was just crazy. and then yesterday i was out the whole day and my fiance sent a message to check his email and there it was the approval notice...

DaveChels, i also did not include any letter of intent..i guess those 120 pictures which i printed on 10 pages of A4 photo paper which i included helped a lot hahaha i really did not know it was a lot until i found this site. Even the part wherein how we met each other...i just wrote i think about 4 sentences and had to fit it in that tiny box that was in the form.

I told you guys i will keep everybody updated here even if i got my approval hahaha laughing.gif

congratulations to those who just got their approvals! i know how it feels really exciting ahaha i was jumping up and down when i was actually reading the email hahaha

Don't worry your approval DavChels is also on its way i'm sure. Lately you have been active to this october thread and made it lively good.gif . I also found this site after doing all the paper works for our I-129F. I am the beneficiary but at the same time was the one who filled up all the forms that had to be submitted. all my fiance did was to sign the forms and include the copies of whatever was needed like the copy of his naturalization and other stuff. He wanted me to fix the documents for him coz he was saying i wasn't working and to keep myself busy by doing the paper works which he said i was good at doing those things better than him. I found this site after sending the finnished docs to my fiance and for him to sign then send to vermont. Now i know my hard work payed off hahahaha! goodluck to everyone!

I got a pretty good deal in April - I also booked directly through Delta (I have Skymiles now!) and paid $473 but there is a layover in Atlanta (if I were flying directly from Atlanta I'm sure I would have got a much better deal!) Also, Delta gives 2 bags free with International flights, so I am flying with one full suitcase and one empty one and coming back with 2 full ones! I'm coming back April 19 and we're hoping that Josue will have his interview in May or June and will be able to come right away!!! We're keeping our fingers crossed at least!

The luggage sets that come are pretty neat since they all fit inside each other, so I'll take him a set (he has never flown before and does not have suitcases) as one piece and then just come back with one. He said he can get his hands on one down there, so he'll have a couple to come with in June (or maybe even May we hope!)

I hope it's not presumptuous to bring some of his stuff a month or two early from his "projected" interview date. We're hoping for at least approval by the time I'm down there and possibly even knowing the interview date.

Let's go VSC! star_smile.gif Have a great day everyone!

edit to say I just looked at My Timeline and it says April 2-13 and the range has been starting at April 8th, 9th, or later for a while now! Any ideas why it would do that now after a 3 day weekend with only 1 approval???? kicking.gif


it happened before that all our timeline moved way back but it moved earlier again..it just depends on how people update their timelines. anyways some people get early approval even if it says march they got it this february.

i envy you guys since your tickets are way cheaper...the cheapest i can find is $990 1 way thats why i cant visit my fiance even if i have a b1/b2 visa...just trying to save money.

My fiancee has let me know that the past two years and nine months apart have taken their toll on her. She does not wish to wait any longer, however she cannot leave Thailand till mid-July due to a contract. She is begging me to go see her during our Spring break, even if just for a week. I would love to go, yet I am weighing costs and other factors. I know she can wait another five months, she's just seemed to have lost most of her patience.

An NOA2 may be just the reassurance she needs right now to get her through the next few months. That sounds quite cliche, but I do sincerely believe it.

Take care all VJ couples.

i have started my wedding preps but it will be a big church wedding back in my home country philippines. i have booked my church, reception venue, caterer and other stuff and this will still be years from now oct 2010. i am just so excited and while i am still in the philippine i am scouting and booking wedding suppliers. For those people who are wondering i will also have my civil wedding as soon as i get in usa and then will be traveling back sometime 2010 for my church wedding. my civil wedding will be really simple and would go for it just to follow the k1 rule of getting married not more than 90 days upon entry.

CFO is the seminar filipinos are required to attend before they can fly out of the country.....i already have attended that seminar before i left for my training to the usa i don't think it is really needed but they require everybody. For those going thru K1 or K3 they give another kind of seminar about getting married to foreigners and i heard they show videos on wives who are abused by husbands. For me i think it is a waste of time attending it but i guess it depends on the person. I am educated already and not stupid for those things to happen to me. Since there are a lot of people who go to different countries like overseas contract workers they try to educate them with the change of lifestyle etc. and you have to pay a fee to attend those seminars.

yup i was also planning to do that coz i have a valid tourist visa but my parents wanted me to do it the legal and right way so we chose the K1 instead of suddenly getting married while my SO was visiting me in the Philippines. I know a few people who entered using a tourist visa then got married in the usa and no problems they were able to change their status. i also wish i did that route coz vsc is so slow i was hoping to be in america by march but i think it is already impossible to have my civil wedding on the 16th of april but still praying hard for that...nothing is impossible i guess innocent.gif

Hello all and welcome to the new additions! smile.gif

The more I read about people who got married in the US THEN filed the paperwork, the more I think that's what we should've done...especially with how slow VSC is moving now! From what I've read from other VJers, it is not fraud if it's an honest and true loving relationship. My finacé kept on telling me that it would be better that way (non-K1 way), but I kept saying "I'm not about to move to the States and become an 'illegal alien'!!!" I can be soooo hard headed!

oh well too late now! Any one else have or had that debate?

Thanks...I think I will take a look too at everyone's introduction here. I'm still new to everything. Well, I guess I sorta introduced myself in one of the earlier posts here and on my profile itself...but I will tell a little about myself and my fiance.

I went to the philippines for some schooling back in 2003. I met my fiance who also attended the same school. Our paths crossed at a mutual friends' party. We introduced ourselves and started dating shortly after. Once I graduated in 2005, I returned to the states. My fiance and I had no ifs or buts about us continuing our relationship because we knew marriage was in our future. I've been back to visit him since I left but definitely not as often as I would like. Our longest being apart was 2yrs. But, we are as crazy and more deeply in love with each other despite the years we've spent apart. luv.gif Thank goodness for phone calls and webcams because we've been able to see each other practically everyday. They certainly have made things easier.

That pretty much is my story in a nutshell. I hope we all soon get some really good news tongue.gif
