That package or list of packages actually shows up putting in EXP 11 JAN 2010A, even though the shipped date was Jan. 12, because they likely printed the shipping label the previous evening to it being shipped. I also get the message no shipments were made on the 12th.


so I might as well just wait for monday to call then......what is the 800# again or is it on the manila website?

This is LIKELY your package, although it's not a certainty by any means:


8833895372
Shipment data received.
1/12/2010
PORTSMOUTH, MA MANILA, PHILIPPINES, THE

You can go to DHL Track and use that reference number to follow it until it arrives. Then wait 1-2 business days after it arrives to be in their system.

Glad your AP was short at NVC!! Wish us luck for our interview, tomorrow. 7 a.m. her time Th., 5 p.m. our time Wednesday night (tomorrow, can it really be tomorrow???)


wow you are awesome!!!! I read and read how you do it but I couldnt figure it out !!!! so I should call them on thursday to set the appointment or wait till friday? And I really hope everything goes great for you both tonight!!!! when I get to work at 5am I hope to see you saying that she is comming home!!!!!!

(888)877-9888

$18, unlimited amount of time per call, 2 calls max. per pin # purchased. Send me a PM with your fiancee's cp # and I'll make sure Vicky gets it.

Our package showed as delivered by DHL Monday at 5 p.m., I called yesterday (around 11 a.m. local time, 9 p.m. my time) to try to get an appointment and was told MNL # was not entered into their system yet, and therefore I could not yet set an appointment. On the bright side, I asked the operator when the next available appointment was if our package had been received already, and she said Jan. 7. So much for the 10-14 days wait time for the appointment!


The appointment line is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Manila time. It is currently 12:30 a.m. there, you'll have to wait until our evening to try to call.



wow that soon!!!!! I wish she didnt get her period this week !!!! I just got off the phone with the nvc they recieved it on the 24th i got the case # but they said that they havent sent it yet for aditional processing do you know what that means?

This is a repost of the info. for tracking from DHL for those who have been asking about it. It does work, just make sure your date range is at the proper dates instead of being an idiot like me :)


dain ........ looks likeour girls will be same time frame you want to see if we can get them together so they can go to medical and interview at the same time so that the will not be alone????? we can give them each other cell #'s

Call NVC again and find out when they sent it to the embassy, since the appointment line is a pay-per-use.


after that what is the pay per call line ???? Isn't it a flat fee for $18.00

The commonality of the petitioner's name in the US is the one that matters, the USCIS processing is a background check of the petitioner (the U.S. citizen) not the beneficiary. The beneficiary shows their ability to come to the US with the medical exam and police clearances required for the visa interview. I've also read the NVC does a brief check on the beneficiary, basically checking if the beneficiary has previously overstayed a visa or committed any fraud on previous applications/ visas.

I'm assuming you're the beneficiary with the "here in italy". Forgive me if I assumed wrong.

In other news, it appears from DHL website that Manila received our package from NVC last evening. We should be able to set our appointment today if they get it entered in their database. The good/ bad news is they received packages from the 28th, 29th, and 30th all last night. So the good part is yes, ours is most likely there, the bad part is they have a lot to enter or several packages to enter.

I'm actually surprised with myself. I have not called NVC once, and I really don't have any intentions to. I know how to check their shipping out, and the last few shipments have had papers going to Montreal, so I'm content with that. :) I also know I have another 3-6 month wait for the whole interview process, but this is the final stretch; I'm happy with the pace right now. :) I'm so looking forward to May, though, because that's when I get to see him again, and what's comforting about it is that I know that I will not have to sat goodbye to him again at the end of this trip!!! :D

I hope you all had a wonderful New Years, and I wish you all speedy processing times!!

yes, it happens to most people. Your signature shows you got NOA2 on the 19th.. the touch on the 21st was probably when they had your file to mail you the hard copy. The touch today was probably when they mailed your file to NVC.

For all the people who haven't got touched or approved yet: your time will come and we are all here to support you guys!! Just be patient, because I am sure that we will see almost everyone of the September filers approved by the first 2 weeks of January. Try to celebrate Christmas with your families and/ or friends.

Mondays are always slow.


Anyway, sorry to say my expectations are just about nil right now. Maybe that's when it will happen...


My way of thinking is if I don't get it this week I won't get it until after the first of the year. I'm sure plenty of people working there will be on vacation the next couple of weeks soooo this week is pretty much it I'm thinking. It would be fantastic if something happens between now and then but I'm really just trying to keep myself on a constant reality check...not the cheeriest way to be but at least I'm not feeling so desperate this way.


This is the same way i am feeling right now!!!!....my timeline said I should expect it the last week of the month and you know that is not going to happen!!!!

Thanks everyone for all your input. I talked to the boy today and I think we're warming up to the idea of a full blown wedding. My friends Tracey and Matt were married last month and Tracey let me have her old planning stuff and Matt even flipped through a bridal magazine with us girls and pointed out the dresses he thought suited me best. I can handle this as long as it comes in one little step at a time.



We were originally planning a quick and easy ceremony, in Colorado you can just sign a slip of paper with witnesses, don't even need a government or religious official present (doesn't require much advance planning). Have a long weekend/ our honeymoon in Colorado in the Rockies, nice weather in later spring months. If it's too early in the year/ weather is too cold maybe Vegas, as cliche as that is there's really some nice wedding packages out there these days and it's also quick and easy.

Then, have a reception here in Madison, WI for US friends and relatives (it's pretty much impossible for anyone there/ Phils to get a visa to visit here). Not much option for an outdoor wedding if she was going to get here in Feb/ March, still pretty freaking cold here at that time.

On our one year anniversary we were planning to do a large ceremony in Philippines as a "renewal of vows", church wedding and traditional reception, inviting my family and of course all her Phils family and friends (which in a catholic country that doesn't believe in birth control is enough to fill a church anyway haha).

Like a few other people here, we're hitting a rough spot in our relationship though and there's a lot of trust issues, which of course isn't easier with the 8000 mile distance. I have only a few days vacation time left after my long visit there, that I'm sure I'll need for this process and at least for our wedding. She can't get a visitor visa, so this waiting is the only option.

There's of course the strain of waiting an unknown amount of time that we all are sharing.

There's a stigma as well against Philippines brides. I have very little support from friends and I'm almost embarrassed to tell acquaintances, even though she's working in Dubai 6 years when I started talking to her. People just assume it's someone 20 years younger and not-too-bright or with a bad moral fiber when you tell them she's from Philippines. Even my always-supportive and loving family is looking a little strangely at me, but smiling and saying nice words.

With the holidays coming, it's depressing to think of being single and alone, which is also adding to my general funk. I'm the type of decline invitations to parties and such if I don't have a date, and I'm not a cheater.... soo....

My last longer relationship ended a few days before Christmas, 2008. I remember the sting and loneliness very well, and not looking forward to it.

Sorry, venting. I'll stop now I think I'll drink myself to sleep.



Seems like you are in the same place as I am right now!!!! everything from ending relationship last year to the rough spot!!! I know how ya feel!!!!! I got some advice to take a couple of days away from VJ to try to give my brain a rest and it worked to clear those issues of stress of seeing everyone approved all the time!!!...Keep your head up it is almost over and she will be here soon!!!

Honestly I don't think it's fair for you all to get so frustrated with those having interviews. We're all supposed to be here for support and for cheering on, not to get angry. We've still got a member without an NOA2 in our thread and is she angry? Heck no. She cheers everyone on equally. We cheer her on and wish her well every day. We're all a family.

Flame me if you want, but this is honestly not right for you alienate a member just because they are farther along than you. mad.gif


Well YOU would say that since you are now on your way to having an interview of your own. We are entitled to vent. That person wasn't someone participating on the thread...it was a random person stating information that in NO WAY pertains to the September CSC filers. If I want to tell him I don't want to hear about his bloody interview I can say that. I didn't tell him to get f'd I just told him we don't care.....which the majority of us DON'T! If it were someone who was actively participating in this thread we would totally cheer them on as you can see by the CONGRAT posts after the few of us who HAVE gotten our NOA2.

Sooo HONESTLY if some random person came into your thread and posted a MY WIFE IS HAVING AN INTERVIEW RIGHT NOW post while a good chunk of the people who generally participate on YOUR thread were becoming a little desperate and down in the dumps you would get a little aggitated too...if you say you wouldn't you are lying.

I'm done now...thanks for your cooperation!

Drama, drama, drama. Just think a year ago you would've been waiting 160 days instead of 90. Slap yourself in the face and wake up. Some guy makes a mistake and people jump all over him because they're frustrated? If you're this frustrated after 90 days there might be other issues.... Don't call the bad karma gods down on the rest of us.
