PhilippinesQuestion for those who have been approved
QUOTE (Iris&Norman @ Oct 24 2009, 09:33 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Similar pre-Christmas hopes.

10-06-09 10 pm I-129F Approval email and SMS
10-12-09 Called NVC. Case arrived at NVC 10-09-09 (received MNL#)
10-14-09 NOA2 hardcopy in mail
10-15-09 Called NVC, case sent to USEM on 10-14-09
I tracked a likely package using the VJ DSL tracking trick after many attempts and some additional forum research. 5 days in transit. (Some info here. http://www.visajourn...howtopic=217924 Thanks thepizzadude and others good.gif )
10-19-09 am Called DOS, said case at USEM (failed to ask if it was uploaded - they said it was "in the system")
10-19-09 pm Called USEM (20th in Manila) - Case not in system yet (they said its there in electronic form only, no hardcopy). Not able to schedule interview. Said interviews for K1 are currently being scheduled for Nov 4-24. Some current posts regarding interview dates http://www.visajourn...h...21257&st=15

Calling back this Sunday, when its Monday in Manila, with hopes to set an interview date. Waiting a few days seem strenuous now...

Holiday closures at USEM http://manila.usemba...v/wwwhholi.html (24 total for 2009)

Best Wishes.


I noticed that you were able to call NVC and got your Case number even before u got the NOA2 hardcopy.
We tried to call NVC today, and for some reason, the rep on the phone was asking to read her whatever information that is on the hardcopy which we dont have yet... she didnt even ask for the EAC (receipt number), name of beneficiary , etc.etc.

any idea about this?


Thank you!

hope they will allow pick - up visa...but if not how long is the waiting for visa?


I heard that if they dont allow visa pick up and the address u gave them is just within Manila,. its only gonna take 2-3 days for delivery... and also if everything is OK with the interview...

Yes. ask the CO right after the interview.. smile.gif
When you notice that the CO is starting to arrange the documents again, and start giving you back some of the docs, by then.,.. Please pray that he will go pick up the PInk sticker..lol.. youll notice those stickers coz its just infront of him..stickers and slips for "AR"...then u can say something like " By the way Sir, may we request..blah blah blah.. ".. smile.gif

But really, every CO is different you know.. smile.gif
Just dont be nervous... for real.. make sure you know where u put each particular documents ..so if, and only if, he will ask for something , you have the presence of mind..

YOu'll be soo fine.. smile.gif

I sure do hope that they will say YEs..

If ever they will say Yes, no need to write any address or pay for courier coz youll gonna pick it up yourself .
If the US embassy didnt do some renovation, youll pick up your visa at window 33 or 34..

I have a very complicated k1/k2 this time, but i will also ask for visa pick up.. heheh

I really dont know what will make them say Yes or no.. but just give it a try.. and if not, just like what NOr said, to write down the address of the hotel where ur staying,..

PhilippinesI dont believe half of the timelines here...
Hi all,

I dont know why some petitions are quicker than others. I filed the K-1 papers for my fiancee on Sept 21, 2009 (Vermont) and we got approved on Oct 21, 2009. It took a month, but we were expecting maybe 6 months. My fiancee did the medical stuff the second week in Nov and I set the interview for Nov 19. We were approved, but now just waiting for the K-1 to be released. Is there anyone else with November interview approval and waiting for the Visa still??

PhilippinesCustom Clearance
i had my own share of experience dealing with Fedex people and the customs here in the philippines. and for some reason, U just cant give in to whatever theyre asking from you especially, if you know for sure that the sender already paid the required taxes for the stuffs.

I had 2 experiences about this.. and i would suggest to call the FEDEX branch where ur fiance went.,and tell them about it, and if they will refuse to be responsible for it., its about time to call the Main FEDEX customer service,and tell them about the situation.. at the meantime, tell the FEDEX here in the philippines, to put your package on hold,

We did this twice , and they gave us the package without paying anything...
the last time we dealt with FEDEX was we told them that We will just send the package back to sender.,
then the FEDEX people here are kinda like saying NO coz its gonna cost them more... and once its back to the sender, the Sender can ask for refund coz no service was served..

But eventually, they gave in.. waived the "tax" thingy..

hope that kinda gave u an idea..

PhilippinesFilipina filed for divorce

LOL. No, I assure you I do not know you and you do not know me. I am just someone that had to endure nearly one year of administrative review because persons like you deliberately and conveniently misrepresent facts about your past. USEM consular officers are suspicious of being lied to by every Filipina because it happens on a regular basis. The fact that you did not report your marriage to the NSO does not mean it never occurred or was never official. It just means that you were negligent in not doing so and the fact that you continuously mentioned your CENOMAR would still show your status as single just illustrates your intentional misrepresentation of the facts for your own personal benefit. IMO, it's no different than forging a CENOMAR document. One of the requirements of the K-1 visa is that both parties must both be free to marry. I think you know that you would not have met that qualification if you had reported your first marriage to the NSO, and that's why you were so worried about it.

Furthermore, there's just enough suspicion about the timing between your two relationships to make one wonder if you hadn't already met husband #2 before you were married to husband #1 - and it most certainly appears you were still married to husband #1 when you met #2, who, apparently was still married as well?? Wow, what a sacred vow marriage must be to you.

While I know everyone makes mistakes, I believe you should have taken much more time to get to know your first husband before you rushed into marriage. If you hadn't been in such a hurry to come to the US, you could have saved yourself from making this mistake.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt in believing that your intentions were genuine and your efforts sincere. However, I will not pretend to believe that you made wise decisions by trying to conceal the truth or deliberately deceive. As someone else suggested earlier, it certainly seems like you enjoy the drama and the attention and your friend sounds as equally charming....

I'll just leave it at that.

To Pinaywife - I did not need to waste my time reading every little detail to understand what was happening.


I understand what youre trying to say.. I mean, wholeheartedly understand ...

I met my exhusband 2005, and he visited 8 times..then flew to the US feb. 2007
I honestly didnt know about this "reporting of marriage" , i thought its automatic.. i was ignorant then..
Got married May 2007.. left the US Aug. 2007..
I dont understand where u think i concealed the truth in my situation..

Believe me., I appreciated the "Genuine" concern from my friends here.. But never ever ever liked what happened to me.. i will never even wish for it to happen to you.. even though you judged me like as if you know me..

If you personally know me., I believe,. You will cry with me when i was down., and you will rejoice with me becoz Im happy now and relieved, stress-free....

If you personally know me., You will never judge me..

I am sorry though about your AR situation.. It happens for a reason. One day,. when the right time will come, YOu will realize and tell yourself,. "thats why things didnt happen when i wanted it to happen, becoz God has another plan for me."...

God Bless


And why am I any less entitled to post my opinion of the OP than she is about the 1st husband? There are two sides to every story and I'd love to hear the other side of this one.


Pm me for my exhusband's phone number .. i am sure he will tell you the truth... *wink*
