My fiance has no way to come here LEGALLY. now time and opportunity he has. I on the other hand work full time in retail management and am saving my vacation days for when we have our WEDDING so that I can take off and play host to his family that will be flying in from Japan. I took three weeks off in April to be with him already anyway. :crying: I'm just hoping that we get our NOA2 soon because the Tokyo Embassy seems VERY speedy so the process should be nice a quick once CSC is done with it.

Mailed on March 28. NOA1 is April 9.
We haven't received any touches or anything. I would rather have some touches than none at all. It makes me feel insanely paranoid that they've lost or forgotten our petition. The waiting is driving me crazy- at the very least they should at least let our fiance's come to visit us in the states while the status is pending- that would make the process much less stressful. :crying:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNOA2 to NVC
Does the NVC send us notices Via snail mail? Such as:
"You're petition was received on XXXX date, and was sent to the embassy on XXXX date"

Even though I obsessively call, I like having a hardcopy.

Also, when it arrives at the Embassy, what next? Will my fiance be notified via snail mail?? I just realized today that I've been so consumed with waiting for my NOA2 that I hadn't really thought about tracking the case once it left CSC. :blink:

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAOS Help
So, it would be acceptable for my fiance to only present an Affidavit of Support from my co-sponsor (who does make enough to support all of us) and to not present one from me since I will not be technically contributing this time around if i still have no job by the time of interview?

Sorry to clarify over and over, I just had everything figured out up until now and I've become very, very confused as to what to do. I just want to ensure that we don't make a stupid mistake that would lead to my fiance not getting his visa.

if i understand that your co-sponsor already covers the requirement and is willing i would think you should leave it as is. if you are searching for a job you may very well even have one by the time of interview. i could be completely wrong but i wouldn't advertise the lack of employment unless they ask you to.


I thought it would be better to be truthful. If he gets an interview before my two weeks are up that is excellent- but I highly doubt it considering it took almost 2 months just for CSC to mail our petition to the NVC. I'm preparing for a longer wait than a couple of weeks for an interview.

What I'm getting at is that I need to know if I should turn in an Affidavit of Support saying I'm unemployed or just have my fiance give my co-sponsers Affidavit of Support and not give them mine at all. I think it's better to be honest than just omit the truth- especially when dealing with the government. "omiting" the truth could come back to bite us in the @$$ in the future.

I've read in lots of topics already that if I have a co-sponser that makes enough money that I shouldn't have a problem getting my fiance's visa approved. However, I'd already sent my fiance an AOS with my info (and my co-sponsers) a month ago and now I've very unexpectedly had to quit my job (very, very, unethical employer and I couldn't stand it anymore). So my question is, do I need to send my fiance a new AOS (notarized) but leave it blank since I'm unemployed? Should I attach a statement saying I am in between jobs but will have a new job by the time I apply for Adjustment of Status?? I'm confused.


You're right that with a co-sponsor you will have no problem with getting your fiance's visa approved. I'm not sure about this but it sounds reasonable to me to attach a statement to your already notarized AOS with any changes you need to make.


So it would be safe to just mail my fiance a signed statement about my job situation (stating I will find employment before applying for Adjustment of Status) and he could just attach that to the old Affidavit of Support that I gave him? I mailed him everything a few weeks ago so I just want to make sure I don't need to mail him a new Affidavit of Support with the employment stuff just saying unemployed (also with the statement).

We've had a long wait just to get to NVC- so I don't want to do anything that will make our journey more delayed or any more difficult than it has to be.

I KNOW! I've been so shocked and pleasantly surprised by how efficient the Japanese embassy has been. Yuibi sent everything back right away and got responses the next day. The only wait at all was after faxing packet 3 because it was the weekend. The form for the interview didn't even have a place for a date to request- so he just wrote in the margin that he wanted that to be his interview date! I'm shocked they accepted his request!

Pick up visa Friday and POE Saturday!

Didn't even ask us any questions - just looked at our forms and told us we're approved and to come back tomorrow . Only comment was to compliment us on our organization and to say that if everyone was that organized, things would go much quicker.

Thank you VJ - couldn't have done it without you.

PhilippinesCENOMAR

One of the choices is "others" and then you can specify and write it there what is the purpose. When I was there this afternoon to request for my birth certificate and Cenomar I just put in "others" fiancee visa. But I guess there is no problem with passport or travel choice. I think it doesn't matter. :)

Releasing of Cenomar is after 5 working days.
Releasing of Birth Certificate is after 2 hours.


I was under the impression if one goes to NSO office, You can get CENOMAR and BC same day.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

White background is best. Send several (4-6) as you never know when you might need an extra. Cheaper to buy a few more now than to go and take them all over again.

PhilippinesAPPROVED!! :-) What is seminar? Do you have to do it?

It is an extortion racket run by the Philippines, operating on the assumption that the little immigrant children need big daddy government to wipe their poopie butts for them. They're going to inform her of things like VAWA, which is available here for free and is also far more accurate and up-to-date.

Be sure and show the proper attitude to the bureaucrats empowered by this law: Thank you daddy dear, I would be lost without you. I am on my knees now for your precious sticker.

Agreed, but don't forget my previous reply...

He will have to include his ex in the household count for the Affidavit of Support as he's still on the hook financially for her until she naturalizes, works 40 quarters, abandons her LPR Status or dies.

Also, double agree with the bold part of the quote...


Bob,

Make sense regarding counting x household count, for AOS.

PhilippinesQuestion Regarding I-129F and Expiration date of 2/29

USCIS will honor the still valid I-129F form that expires 2/29/2012. As long as you submit your petition by the 2/29/2012.

I would not worry about it either USCIS will honor it even if it is expired. I have yet to read about a expired form that was rejected do to their forms being expired.

Only time I think that would happen. Is if the form is old like 1 or 2 years expire :whistle: .


Thanks.........

PhilippinesQuestion Regarding I-129F and Expiration date of 2/29
I am a few day from filing K1 Visa, I live about 15 minutes from the P.O. Box for mailing address.

My question is:

1.) The form I-129F expires on 2/29/2012, should I roll d bones and go for it? I will hopefully get it the mail in a few day, like March 5th will be the latest. That way I can have Delivery Confirm. from USPS.

2.) Other option is to wait for the USCIS to publish new updated form, which could take forever and a day.

TIA
