If she can adopt her then you can bring the "daughter" with "mom's" either as a K1/K2, CR-1/CR-2 or a K3/K4.

Difficult to adopt in PI unless the child is ophaned or abandoned.



If you have money you can adopt......I know an Attorney in AC that is quite good...will cost about 2k US.....will the father put up a fight or go along? That is the issue.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresReceived NOA 2 "What Now Philippines?"
QUOTE (lbounds @ Dec 9 2009, 02:11 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
There's a section in the guides here for your next steps for NOA2
http://www.visajourn...mp;page=k1guide

Please review all the guides. There's probably more info in there. Here's what I saw in the above page for K1 when you get NOA2

**********************
What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2):
1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one).
2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy.
3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F).
4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all.
5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form.
6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail.
7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now).

Examples: Copies of phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)

I received the NOA 2 Letter on December on December 11. It is Dated December 3. I will be in the PI from December 30 to January 12.

* Is it possible to schedule an interview this quick?

No. It'll take about a month through NVC and then maybe another month or two for the consulate to schedule the interview, they do the scheduling, not you.

* I know I need to take the k-1 package to my Fiance and we need originals of Birth Certificate, etc...

* I know I need completed I-134....

*What does my fiancee need to do besides Medical?

Rehearse the answers to the questions that may be raised at the interview.

* Also is it possible to schedule the interview for late in February and go back there?

Maybe. See above.

* If i take her the I-134 and schedule it for February will it still be valid....? The I-134 I fill out now???

Yes, mine was filled out in July and she eventually had her interview in November, no issues on that.

QUOTE (NatPatBen @ Dec 20 2009, 12:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
The embassy sends the letter after receiving your case from NVC.

Here are the tips I used months ago to track my packet from NVC to the embassy (which isn't necessary, but gives you something to do while waiting):

1) 2 days after NOA2, starting calling NVC: 603-334-0700 press 1 then 5.
2) Once NVC has your case, they assign a new case #. Ask them what date they sent your file to the embassy & also for the NVC case #.
3) Once you know the date NVC sent off the file, track it at DHL's website: http://track.dhl-usa...?nav=TrackByRef For the reference code, enter EXP 10 JUL 2009A (adjust using dates just before the date NVC told you), with a shipping range of that day to a few days later (July 13 - July 14 worked for the example above). Look for shipments to your beneficiary's embassy.
4) To find out if the embassy processed the packet, call the Dept of State before 5pm: 202-663-1225 press 1 then 0
5) You can also call the DoS to find out your interview date once you believe the embassy has scheduled it.

You want to check with the National Visa Center first. Call them and see if your case made it to them. If so then ask them for you MNL number. The MNL # is how the USEM will track it. After getting the MNL # then ask them if your case has been forwarded to the USEM and if so when.

Once it has been forwarded then it takes about a week to get it to the USEM via courier. After that they process it ......

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion about Infopass
I liked the Infopass appointment, although it really didn't give much more information to us than what we already knew. The officer that we talked to was asking if Peter was already living here... which really makes me wonder WHAT they do... are they doing their job? Of course, he doesn't live here yet and you would think that they would know that. I laughed and told her that I had just picked him up at the airport the night before. Then I questioned her too... why would he be living here already if our case hasn't been approved? She said that there is a "oops we didn't know" form... I guess that it can be filled out if the person has moved here without finishing the process and the petitioner/benificiary can ask forgiveness because they didn't know better. My jaw about hit the ground. I explained to her that all along we have been trying to do this the "legal" and right way. She asked if he was going to stay, and I told her that he had a flight home on July 5.

... and he did fly home on the 5th. This time it was so much harder to say goodbye because we have no clue when our case will go through.... Before we were expecting the normal process 6 months to a year.... and we were mistaken. Now we don't know what to expect.

No, we don't have a lawyer. I had thought about that and read about others on here who used a lawyer. Most of what I have read, their lawyers didn't do much for them... at least they did pretty much what the applicants can do themselves, prepare the paperwork. If no more of a resolution or even reason after this Infopass appointment, we will be looking at other options.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry that we are going through it too.

My fiance will be here to visit for a couple of weeks in June. Our case is so far outside of processing time and we have done everything short of making an Infopass appointment. I thought it would be a very good idea to schedule one while he is here so we can both go. I've asked customer service about it and they just direct me to the webpage to set appt. I have so many questions before making the appt... can you help?

1. It is a 6 hour drive from my home to go to the appt, which means I will need to take a day off of work (no vacation time). Does the Infopass appt's really help?

2. Are they thorough in answering questions, or are they like the USCIS customer service who seems to know nothing (or claims to know nothing)?

3. When setting up an appt online, do they tell you the day and time by mailing you a letter, or can you at least choose the day so that a person can give their employer notice for taking off? Or because my fiance will be here only 2 weeks, what if they schedule it after he has left?

Any advice from anyone, or even if someone can tell me a little about their experience with doing an infopass appt it would be sooooooo helpful!

Thanks for taking the time to read this post!


Sorry, messed up first reply

Yes, you can choose the date and time online. Ask for supervisors if you get no where. You may still get no where, but at least at a higher level

1. It is a 6 hour drive from my home to go to the appt, which means I will need to take a day off of work (no vacation time). Does the Infopass appt's really help?

2. Are they thorough in answering questions, or are they like the USCIS customer service who seems to know nothing (or claims to know nothing)?

3. When setting up an appt online, do they tell you the day and time by mailing you a letter, or can you at least choose the day so that a person can give their employer notice for taking off? Or because my fiance will be here only 2 weeks, what if they schedule it after he has left?

Any advice from anyone, or even if someone can tell me a little about their experience with doing an infopass appt it would be sooooooo helpful!

Thanks for taking the time to read this post!

Muircat, Sorry about the bogus agency that is really sad. crying.gif Anyway study the K1 Guide here on VJ, sounds like you have enough evidence, all you can do is send it in now and hope for the best. For the entire journey my fiance and I only had 6 photos together and we did fine. good.gif

Stepha, I hear ya! I fretted also over the RFE for nearly two weeks before it arrived in our mailbox, and it was what I thought it would be for (more relationship proof). Just gather up and get ready everything you think it may be for, and wait. Hopefully the RFE will be for something you can correct relatively easily. star_smile.gif


hi guys!
we received another RFE again! I'm so sick and tired of this! first they asked my fiance to send a passport photos and now i don't know what else they need, because we haven't receive the letter from immigration yet, guys do you think this can be be the reason I'm so worried coz my fiance told me that maybe it's because of our age gap, that's why it's so hard for them to make a decision about this petition.....
this is what they say in there e-mail.

What about our situation...my hubby is now a conditional permanent resident...we're getting ready to file the paperwork to remove the conditions on his residency. Does he still need the ESTA if we go visit his family since he has his green card?

Oh goodness that doesnt sound promising at all. Im thinking i should just wait it out, and all will be fine, but i m reading otherwise...how long does something like this usually take to get finalized?I feel uncomfrotable abadoning something i spent so much time on but if i will only get lost in nvc hell then i need to think of a new game plan.
