PhilippinesInterview to visa in hand
I think starting December 1st, they're using 2go instead of Air21 as the embassy's official courier.

PhilippinesUpgrading from F2A to IR-1
Hi! I'm taking my oath 1st week of April. Can you anyone guide me on how to upgrade my petition from F2A to IR-1? And how long do you think before the upgrade takes in effect? And after that, what will happen? Are they going to forward the papers to the embassy? How long does it take for them to schedule an interview for IR-1? I really appreciate your help! Thanks!

PhilippinesMedical expires before the interview
Hi! My husband passed his medical exam September of 2010. We were just waiting for his interview to be scheduled when the visa retrogression happened. No his medical has expired last March, all his documents required for the medical at St. Luke's were forwarded to the embassy when he passed the medical exam, including his passport. I upgraded his petition when I became a citizen this April, and now done with the final review. The operator said we're on queue to be scheduled for his interview. I know he has to go through another medical exam, but how is he going to do that when all the required documents are at the embassy?

Please, we need your input. I e-mailed the USEM Manila but I haven't received any correspondence from them as of yet.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportsdid i get NOA1?
So I received the following email tonight:
Dear Applicant/Petitioner: Your USCIS application/petition has been received and routed to the Vermont Service Center for processing. Within 7-10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number EAC1090669972. With the official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) you may visit www.uscis.gov where you can check the status of your application using My Case Status. We suggest you wait until you have received your Form I-797 before checking My Case Status. This confirmation provides notification of the date USCIS received your application/petition.

is it worthwhile for me to be hyperventilating right now? can i update to NOA1 received on my timeline? or is this something before that. I want to be jumping up and down. OMG am I really getting married by next year? hah! I'm too anxious. Can't wait to call Aloush at 1:30AM to wake him for work and tell him that we are legit being looked at :P

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportshow to wait patiently & positively

Hello All!

I was lucky enough to spend 7 months (I studied there) with my fiance in his country (Morocco). I returned home (US) 3 months ago. I'm trying to keep myself busy with work and school (I'm a university student), but still feel distracted with this waiting process. It's hard for me to feel focused or grounded in the things I do now that I'm home. I think part of what I'm experiencing is reverse-culture shock and the other part is simply missing my fiance. I'm curious about how you all have managed to keep focused, positive, and patient while your loved one(s) are so far away. I look forward to hearing any of your anecdotes, stories or tips! :)

yes, it is quite a challenge. we use yahoovideo every day. it does help a lot although sometimes it makes it harder to be so far away!i see something here about magic jack? how does that work>?but emails are great way to let them know youa re thinking of them. and of course, they will "get" it as they are missing you too:--)....todd

Moving up on Igor's list isn't a guarantee of anything, so probably best to quit worrying about who doesn't "belong" above you.

Just scroll down to the bottom of the list and focus on all those peeps that YOU are "ahead" of.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsConfusion on Igor's list
QUOTE (Navid+Hediyeh @ Oct 24 2008, 10:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
so if the members from before dont update their timelines, we are forced to use a distorted igors list?

is there nobody responsible for cleaning it up?



It sounds like you are misplacing some aggression. Igor's list is a community service, provided for free, with the work involved in creating it and the hosting of the data all donated. If you don't find it useful, don't look at it anymore.

Or, if you think you can do better, why not turn aggravation into action? Create your own list, and feel free to exclude whomever you like.

Honestly, I don't understand the ire. It's not like you have to wait to be #1 on the list before your case is adjudicated, or that USCIS stops working on petitions because some people don't update their timelines as promptly as others.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsWhen to contact Congressman?
I think they tell you wait until you are at 6 months because your congressman might not get involved before you are outside "normal" processing times.

Since you are so close to the 6-month mark, go ahead and contact your representative now, it can't hurt!

Good luck.

My check was cashed yesterday for my I129F but when I check case status the form # is CR189 and Form Title is PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED. Im kinda worried is this correct?




Application Type: CRI89, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED

Current Status: Case received and pending.


That doesn't sound right, Ghorabaa; ours gave the application type of I129-F like you'd think. I wonder if you have the correct number? Ours was hard to read from the back of the check -- perhaps you've misread the number or transposed it when entering it online?

I am just having such a bad feeling. It seems that more than half of all June filers got approved by now...


Actually, I did some independent querying of the VJ database two days ago and my conclusion was that only about 1/3 of the people who filed in June have their NOA2.

There were 116 NOA1's issued in June, of those 55 have their NOA2 and 22 of those were May people crossing over. Going by filing date, there were 89 peeps who filed in June and 34 of those have their NOA2 (one got the NOA1 in July).

So see? Not so bad.
