Philippineshow to deal with the stress of this journey!!!

Try masturbating once or twice daily. Then, take long hot baths while chanting "consulate is going to approve the visa, consulate is going to approve the visa" for about 10-30 minutes. Then, dry up and head on down to your favorite restaurant and have a feast. Then, go to the gym afterwards so you don't feel so fat.


wow that soundslike my day!!!

All you can really do is somehow get your mind off of it.
I stressed out alot too, but there was nothing I could do about it.

You might get your NOA2 soon, just keep hoping it'll come soon then the rest after that is really fast.



well i am home by myself so all i do it think!!!! and wait for the magic hour of 7 to get online with my future wife......

I believe you are most concerned with receiving your mail at this point right? You can do it online...just check it out here and see. I am pretty sure you can change your physical address later. https://egov.uscis.g...i/go?action=coa

The big thing at this point is that you can receive mail from them. I dont think they care about your physical address. You can update that when you do the 156 & 157 forms later



ok that is good then ....just get a po box and go from there I guess

yeah must...the person must already be approved for the loan. I know it took me nearly 2 months to get my loan approved all the way when i bought my house. Oh, and the PO box thing would probably be good cheap insurance to receive your mail. I have one too and send most my important stuff sent there instead of my mailbox down the street from my house.


so i can change it to a po box? is that ok for the adress dont they need your physical adress for the poa?

Yeah i understand on how you dont want delays...no one does.....but life always throws you a curveball. You could talk to your landlord and see if you can get your deposits back quick since they didnt give you much notice. they must have a buyer already because the housing market isnt that good right now. How does you lease read for deposit returns and notice to move out?


well i guess it is going to a quick sale

I would put in the change of address forms and give the post office a forwarding address so there isnt any big delay in your case. That sucks that the owner's of your house doing that with very little notice. Looks like you will be busy packing and moving. At least it will help the time go a little faster.



yeah it will but I have a lot to think of now what area ? do I stay in the same area so I dont have to change the kids school ? But now when will i get mt deposits back because I planned on going to the interview with Pam but the money I have been saving for everything from my tickets to the her plane ticket, and all the fees for everything for st lukes and such......I really dont want to have to delay it even 1 day if i dont have to

Philippinesto add to the stress....lol...has anyone changed there adress?
OK to add to my real stressful week I got the call while I was driving home from my management company that the owners are selling my house and are not renewing my lease!!!! I am so close to getting the aos2 now really comfused what to do....I know it will not be hard to find another house but I dont want to put in change of adress forms in right when everything is about to happen in the next 2 months!!!!......I have to be out by january 15th....What should I do?
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2009-12-04 08:59:00
PhilippinesIm in shock and I dont know what to do
Can't we all just get along!!!...lol.....well to the OP dude it is your call if this happened years before u were in the picture ....give her props for clearing her conceince.......I am glad it doesnt matter to mine about how many girls I was with before her.....I doesn't matter....LOVE IS LOVE!!!!!......If you love her there shouldn't be a question about it ....U may never feel this way again.........In my eyes it is obvious how much she loves you since she told you and didn't want it to come up in the future and for you to think she was using u!!!!....Dont get me wrong I dont believe anyone should sell their body at all and I do not condone it .....but things in the past are just that the past!!!!!....if you cant deal with your love for her anymore just move on ....but remember you might always tell yourself what if!!!!>>>>and you will be the one dealing with that pain

sorry scott!!!!.....i hope eveything flies though for you now that u have it taken care of



Yeah as long as they accept my evidence after the cutoff...i dont think it will make it before xmas like they said it was needed by. I was depending on the USCIS site to be updated...it was never updated until I called on the 15th...then it said I had an RFE sent out to me on the 1st of December, but was dated 25 November. When i called the USCIS they said just see what the CSC does with it. If they deny my petition, i can get it reopened for free since i am military. We will see..Hopefully they will receive the evidence by the monday after xmas and then i will call and expedite it again.

At least you are one step closer and I am happy for you both. How is moving coming?



Scott I hope that happens for you !!!! With u serving our country ( i say you are protecting me) u should get better treatment then the rest of us!!!!!.....Thanks for asking about the move I am getting the keys this week !!!!!....it is an older house than I am in now but 200 hundred cheaper a month more land and will have a pool now!!!....plus the owner pays for the landscaping, pest control ....and weekly pool services so I am happy !!!!....plus I have 2 weeks between both places to move so less stressfull!!!!

Thank you everyone so much for all your help and putting up with all my silly questions durring the application process!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now the 2nd part of the journey!!!!! So do I have to wait to get the letter in the mail to set up the medical ? I know I should wait a week to call for the interview right? I know Pam has all the paperwork ready except for the last thing i need to send her like paystubs and stuff like that current chat logs ....western union receipts stuff like that but is there anything else I need to do? Or is it all on pam now?

PhilippinesSTOP Listening to the advice/opinions of people
well lets try to get back on topic people!!!!! ....U know I love you all....merry christmas!!!! In reference to the op I can agree totally with him !!!!! I had Pam telling me that her aunt and uncles are telling her to do this and do that .....kind of got me mad at first!!!!! Until I got her to understand what they were saying was wrong to do and I was spending the money not them so basically do what I say to do and go the legal route to get it!!!!! Also she started to read the VJ site more and she understands now she just tells them that me and her are handling it as husband and wife together and if she nneds theirs opinion she will ask for help!!!!

Philippineswhat is the purpose of the NVC?????

12-24-09 NVC recieved approval!!!!!
01-05-10 NVC told me under Aditional Processing!!!!!

Cases go to the NVC before they get passed onto the Embassies, takes about 5-14 working days to get thru that, it should tell you this in your letter. With the Holidays kicking in, they could be a few days behind. Be Patient. After 2 weeks and you hear nothing, then call and bug them.


Here's mine:
NVC Received : 2009-07-17
NVC Left : 2009-08-04


ok .....I was and am scared because of others that got to the NVC after me are already tracking it to the embassy !!!! I really didn't want to start the new year like this!!!! lol
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-01-05 15:25:00

charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-01-05 14:56:00
Philippineswhat is the purpose of the NVC?????

It is an additional FBI check that is usually triggered by some flag raised at USCIS. Expect a month or so and if you were recently divorced expect a call from someone looking for your ex (NVC)



what!!!!! really????? my divorce was finalized in june!!!!! Even if the already gave me my case #????

Philippineswhat is the purpose of the NVC?????

Just to give you some more stress :P

I think they do some background checks there....I am unclear of what they do too. What all did you have to send to them? I have read that original certificates with the DS-230 (marriage, birth, police clearances, divorce decrees). Of course some of these we sent and had to send originals to the USCIS or CSC...whatever you want to call it. We're still waiting on NOA2.....i will have to make another phone call this week i think.


i didnt have to send anything to them at all!!!! last week they gave me my case # for manila said that it was going out by the end of last week i called today and they told me that!!!!
