We are almost at the "lock, stock and barrel" point where there is nothing to do but wait for the day of May's flight to arrive.

Her visa arrived yesterday. She goes to the DFA/CFO next week. All is running well.

Adam & May

P.S. Congrats to all of those approvals announced and good luck to those with upcoming interviews!

Congrats Salsa Shark.

May & I hop to add our "Approved" stamp on the evening of 6/17 (which is morning 6/18 in Philippines).
Also, May & I moved up our wedding date 3 weeks so we moved up her POE 1 week earlier.

Good luck to all those with interviews this week (including us)!

"Oprah's towels" ? I think the loneliness is beginning to take its toll. :P



:rofl: :rofl:

Let's see....30 days to interview. Approximately 80 days before May's arrival.
You could say it is taking its toll :blink: :o

Has time seemed to slow down?

There is still 5 weeks until May's interview at the embassy. We are still waiting for police clearance forms so it must be 5 weeks.

It just seems the fabric of time is being folded like on of Oprah's towels (into 3rds instead of half to allow for less space in the closet).

It propably also feels slower since I just came back from seeing May.

I keep telling myself, patience but the Veruca Salt inside of keeps yelling, "But I want it now!" :D

Had a wonderful 3 week visit with May. Got all of our papers organized. I have a few to send her but we are 98% ready. The only bad part of my visit with May was that it ended :crying:

The blessing this time is no 6 month wait to see her again. Her interview is in 6 weeks. Then she will be here 6 weeks after she passes! Let's see that is (counting on fingers...oops, off comes one shoe....:rofl: ) about 12 weeks!

Is that a light I see in this tunnel? Who's kidding who. We are only in the K1 Visa tunnel. After that comes the AOS tunnel. :lol:

May's interview is scheduled for 6/18/10 @ 7AM. No real P3 to send so I will count days from interview appointment was made, so...52 Days from P3 to interview. Still waiting on Japanese Police Clearance (end of May) and annotated CEMAR, to reflect recognition of foreign divorce (NLT mid May).

To all Feb CSC filers....

Sorry, been busy here in the Philippines enjoying time with May. Congrats to anyone recently approved (NOA2) and forge on to the next processes for the rest of us.

We are waiting till the end of the month so that we can schedule May's interview for the mid week of June (we are hoping 6/18).

To all our Thailand K1s: Our prayers are with you over the political climate and want you all safe.

...and now back to our regulary scheduled cuddle time. :innocent:

At May's medical examine yesterday the Dr asked to see her divorce document from Japan. She brought it with her today.

Can you imagine any scenerio in which the Dr. would need to be involved in that? I can't. I know the Philippines does not have divorce but COME ON! The doctor should stick to MEDICAL and leave the LEGAL to the bureaucrats.

Criminy!

Congrats to all recent NOA2s that I might have missed.

Glad to hear CSC is keeping pace. For those waiting, (as it has been said many times) patience.

As for us, May had Day 1 of medical yesterday with Day 2 today.

Good luck to all!

We completed application for the police clearance from the Japanese Embassy (which included obtaining letter US Embassy, getting form from the Japanese Embassy, fingerprinting done police station on the other side of town then back to the Japanese Embassy to turn everything in). All-in-all 5 hours to complete.

Tomorrow May goes for her medical at St Lukes (1PM). I will be calling the US Embassy tomorrow to get a 6/18 interview date.


Step-by-step closer!

Thanks very much and good luck.


They didn't for me. The gave the date it left. I assumed it was in either 29 Mar or 30 Mar DHL mailing

Happy Easter to all!

@ spencer12 - Congrats, awesome news!

@ Audy_Rob - The info I have is that K1s are not a part of their automated system. The first prompt is for Haiti related or not. Then I choose option 2 (which includes K1). I ended up calling the NVC for both events(received by them and sent to embassy) 2 times each. For them receiving my packet, the first person I spoke with would only tell me that they had it but not when it arrived but he did give the case number. When I called back the next day the second person told me what day it had arrived and to call back in 7 days. A week later, the first person I spoke with stated that the package had left for the embassy "this week" but when asked for a specific date he simply repeated "this week". When I called back that evening I was told it left on 3/29.

The DHL package arrived in Manila on 4/2 so I suspect it will be delivered to the USE Manila on Monday. I plan on calling Wednesday night (their Thursday morning) to try scheduling May's interview for June 18th. She has to obtain a Japanese police clearance which can take 4-6 weeks. We are hoping an October wedding so the earliest she can arrive is the end of July.

I have just started packing for my 3 weeks in the Philippines with May. Then in July she should be here!!

Wow! No April Fools Day for many of the February 2010 CSC filers.

That is fantastic!

If you consider the last 2 days that is 5 total (Shawn & Emi , Loree and Mond, Wishing, haze & ced & SunDrop)

See haze & ced, my hopefully soon occurred the morning of your approval (I must be psychic).

It seems the update posts on the USCIS site is inconsistent. Our touch & notification occurred on 3/23 but it was for actions taken on 3/18 (the date on our NOA2).

I am all for them working on processing the packets and being a little slow on the touch updates (unless less an RFE is involved, then get those notices out as quickly as possible!).

On another note, called the NVC and got our Manila case number. May will be going to the USEM on Tuesday to get her letter to obtain her Japanese Security clearence (which takes about 30-45 days).

We are hoping our packet will arrive at the USEM duing my visit next month. Hoping to schedule her interview for mid-June.

Thanks to everyone for their "congrats".

We called the NVC and got our case number. They told me to call back in a week to find out when my packet was sent to the US Embassy - Manila.

Yeah!!!

You can track it through the NVC, get your case number, to know when it leaves for your embassy.

Wishing (& everyone else too),

The board does seem rather quite now. It seems as if we have gotten through most of the "that was amazingly fast" approvals and the rest of us have settled in for the average. At least that is how I feel as an early Feb filer. The late-middle and late Feb filers still have a chance at the "that was amazingly fast" approval. :yes:

Of course, that doesn't mean I don't check this and USCIS websites daily. :whistle:
I like seeing our forum post on the first page :dance:

Fortunately, I get a distraction. I am going to see May next month.

Good luck everyone.
