I was reading and noticed we were placed as an Early Bio ......not accurate......Jenny was scheduled on 8/13/10 @ 12:00, And that is the time we were there and her biometrics was taken.

Based upon the table above, it looks like:
only 06 out of 15 amongst the CSC filers have NOT yet received the Biometrics appt.
only 15 out of 32 amongst the VSC filers have NOT yet received the Biometrics appt.

I've no idea when we are gonna receive the Bio Letter :crying:


Received ours, just haven't been added yet to the list. So, 16 out of 32 would be accurate.

Our Biometrics is scheduled for August 13th, 2010 in OKC :thumbs:

We just spoke with a representative at level tier 2 (?) said that all is well, no RFE, and that our letter was mailed July 26th.....and said we should receive this soon indicating/verifying the biometrics appointment. Gave us a new EAC number, he said this was because this was filed at VSC and he believed we could use this number to track status online.


Added the new EAC number online, which is the CR I 89 number as well, I assume, and all is well the number was accepted.........except I couldn't edit this post online...oh well, we're on our way!

No problem :) Called them again to get your CR-I89 so that you could track your case online.
This thread is helpful ... i got all the information i needed.



Hmm, I asked for a case number when we called ....none available. I wonder if I should call again?

I think the key is what your ASC is. Why not track the ASCs that are backed up and see if there is a trend? For example, we have a few members in Arizona with no biometrics appointment. AZ is well-known for its large immigrant community, so it doesn't surprise me that there is a backlog there.


Oklahoma City,OK I believe is our ASC and certainly not the busiest place, however, I will see what I can find out.

Here is our latest response, after calling on Friday May 16th, 2010:

(this is not the complete e-mail of coarse)

'The Vermont Service Center (VSC) has received your request inquiring about your biometrics appointment. A review of the electronic records indicates your appointment will be scheduled as soon as there is availability at your local Application Support Center (ASC). You will receive your new appointment notice confirming this date and time in the mail. Please follow the instructions on the notice.' bla-bla-bla

I think the key words here are "NEW Appointment Notice".

They're the government, they don't have to respond, give reasons or show proof. They don't have to answer any questions. I think that is where we're at and the best thing is to wait.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMistake On Green Card - I-551 Stamp ?
If it were me: Call them (your asc) if you can, but definitely, schedule a Infopass soon at your nearest center. Bring all pertinent information with you. Copy of I751 filed, 2 & 10 year GC, SS card & drivers license (if you have one) Receipt and all other approval notices, emails etc. Chances are, they have the correct date(s) at your asc & the mistake was made elsewhere. Either way, this will need to be corrected in their system. Otherwise, they 'may' drag their feet and in 9 weeks you are still waiting. JMO

can you print the pictures 4 or 6 on a page or do you need to have regular pictures?
we have all our pictures on the computer taken with the digital camera and it would be alot cheaper and easier to print them rather than having them done for us ?
Any thoughts?


I printed out several to a page and sent that in with the I-130, but have them individually printed for the embassy interview. Walgreen's is the store I had mine done too. I just put all the pics I wanted on a CD and took it in. I believe you can also upload pics to their site and pic them up next day at a store.

yep. They actually had emailed me 1 hour after I uploaded them to their website to go pick them up. so fast!!


When the time comes for the interveiw (im not an authority on this) we will have actual pictures, not printed on paper. The reason is, they have wanted actual photos taken for everything else sent up to this point. So we wont take that chance.

PhilippinesCENOMAR - Question for Recent K-1 Interviewees

QUOTE (Haole @ Nov 18 2007, 03:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Not a K1! As long as the BC is NSO and on SECPA it's good indefinitely.
CENOMARs one year but better to update if close to expiration.
Some prescreeners ask for it. Some don't. Case by case basis. Older beneficiarys tend to be asked for it more. Ones with children also.
People claim that USEM does random CENOMAR checks also as there is a LOT of fake ones.
Bottomline is since it's asked for for K1s. Get one.
You can order them online! Additional BCs also.


ITS A REQUIREMENT..so you MUST have a copy of it..
when I received my Packet 4, a note was attached to the front page, stating that CENOMAR IS A REQUIREMENT.

I got my CENOMAR online & the date was 3 weeks before my interview date.. better to get NBI & CENOMAR a month before the interview date.


May I ask how many BC and CENOMAR needed for the K1 visa....i just want to make sure and have the accurate documants..thanks!

They will give the vaccinations they require at St. Lukes. It's a good idea to have medical done as early as possible in case the beneficiary needs to get any vaccinations that require a series of shots. If there is any record of previous vaccinations, take that to the medical.


Thanks for the quick reply! I will pass this on to jenny good.gif

Yes good.gif a lot of applicants did that... But I didn't do it cuz I'm too far from Manila.

PhilippinesCFO experience
I posted on this topic recently (sort of) hhmnnn, sounds like, appears, there is 'also' alot of 'jealousy' with CFO.

Being a 'mother figure' is one thing, I can understand being protective, however, being manipulative...controlling....jealous...envious....pridefull....arrogant, arent really 'christian values' or 'catholic values' are they? No matter where you live in this world.

This process has been stressful, time consuming, costly, to say the least, and to think that CFO would try to keep someone from the possibility of having a chance to better their life & families life is totally ignorant. I could rant and rave about all of the things I as an american 'disagree with' concerning the philippines....but there is more I Love about it....one and foremost is Jenny.

We will be well armed when it is my fiance's time to go to CFO. We will have a 'folder' and 'documents' for them (CFO) as well, since they missed the real interview, the one that counts. ~david
