Philippines	I Have Two First Names "So Confusing"	Hello Vj, 'SOS' I just filled out the I-485 form, however, i am a little bit confused with my answer in the 'given name and middle name'. I have 2 first names that i put in the given name, put my papa's name as middle name, and my new family name (husband name). I was told that uscis only accepts 3 names 'is this true?'. Now i am confused of which name i will retain and drop, the second name of my first name or my papa's name. Is there any vj member that had the same confusions as mine who figured the right thing to do. Your answer is very much apreciated. Thank you. -Lei hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i read your post that has 2 names same me as well, i have 2 names and both are long we put given name both but my father's name is just the first letter and my husband family name....	sephlijane	Female	Philippines	2010-02-04 17:14:00
Philippines	still don't know if I am approve or deny	Hello to everyone,I am working here in Singapore and I am Filipino but the papers process here in Singapore... I just wanted to share what is the outcome of my interview... I am not sure if the process here is the same at Philippines Consulate Office,before I pay the interview fee there's one Singaporean lady interview me first then she ask me to showed all of our proof that we had relationship of my fiance she asked me somes personal questions about me and my fiance. So after her interview she gave me form to pay the cashier,so I wait for a 2-3 mins to give the receipt to her,so she called me get the receipt and told me wait my name to call... I wait i think 10-15 mins to call my name,the next interviewer is American lady so she asked me to raised my right hand and sworn. The interview starts again asked also the same questions but her questions is much more than the first. The interview takes about 10 mins,then she asked me the original copy of divorced paper that I dont have with me,I only have photo copy and not notarized by lawyer... The interview is done then the lady gave me peice of paper and it said refusal worksheet and the original copy of divorced paper marked by X and it said that pertain to issue visa... She told me that I can go back anytime and anyday if I have a copy of original divorce paper from court.. That was happen at my interview,now I am hoping that when I go back and give them the original copy I will be approve and not deny... I keep praying that our papers will be doing fine... Thanks for everyone who read my story... Goodluck to everyone... God bless Hi!!!! So I was reading your post that you apply in Singapore..... So do I,,, I process also mine there.... your holding 221g anyway give the papers they are asking and you will be okey... Just don't lost your receipt because that's is your key to go on and out the embassy and till you got your visa keep your receipt safe.... Goodluck...	sephlijane	Female	Philippines	2010-04-30 00:59:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	September 2012 I-130 filers	According to the timeline instructions: Select the original Service Center processing your case even if your case is transfered to a different Service Center. If you filed at a lockbox location, this is the Service Center the petition is sent to for processing (you will be notified of where). so I take it if your case was transferred from CSC to NBC for example, you would need to put CSC... that's my understanding my Service center is California Service Center Im using the timeline there is 5 months, i just saw message post about the the Field Office is that true. That documents were transfer there to Nbc to your nearest field Office. Which Im thinking mine is Fresno Field Office. Because my husband residence is near on that area. He is from Visalia.	luisa1625	Female	0	2012-11-22 19:08:00
