K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	St. Lukes medical exam during mensturation	Hey Jason! Christina will be asked to return so I suggest for her to go there after her period.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-08-25 00:58:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Financial Supporting Evidence	recent W2, employment letter, at least 3 recent pay stubs, latest ITR but if you want to be sure then bring the past 2 years worth.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Sibling with police problems affect our I 130?	This last weekend my husbands sibling was arrested on a serious charge involving theft. Can this affect the background check for my husband with the I 130 process? was your husband involved in any of this? was your husband fingerprinted? was he arrested? if he wasnt there should not be any issues. he can't get criminal records by proxy unless he were actually involved.

Philippines	k-1 visa forms	Allow me to correct my previous post! It's 4am. lol. REQUIREMENTS FOR SLMEC -3pcs 2x2 pictures (white background) -email confirmation letter (remember the manila case no.) OR appointment letter from the Embassy (If you decide to bring the latter, have it photocopied.) -passport -ballpen (Don't use a sign pen.) Remember your fiance's information cuz you need to write that down in a form. I was just suggesting that you arrange your DS forms into two sets for the interview. The only thing you need for the medical are the appointment letter (from the Embassy) or the email confirmation (which I brought), passport and 3pcs 2X2 pictures (white background).If you decide to bring the email confirmation, keep your manila case number in mind because they'll need it. Ignore the vendors outside. The guard will hand you a form to fill up. There's a part there that says, "Do not write below this line" but ironically, you have to fill in the details. Don't worry, they'll put check marks on the ones you have to fill up. Read the post by Ninjones. I believe that it's pinned in the forum and I used it as reference. Good luck!

Philippines	k-1 visa forms	@J AND O I brought my DS 156, DS 157 and email confirmation to BDO. I told her that I was there to pay for the K-1 visa fee so I presented the papers and she glanced at them. I believe they do that to ensure that I'm paying for the right kind of visa. The only forms she needs for the interview are: 1 DS 165K, 2 DS 156, 2 DS 157 Please tell her to paste her photo on the DS 156 because incomplete papers can be such a hassle during the day of the interview. I saw a lot of girls scrambling to fill up several forms since they opted for the DS 160 in stead. Pay in Pesos! I made a mistake of paying in Dollars so I had to add more money. Good luck! Toni @CATHYlovesRICK You're fine. They don't stamp anything on the forms anyway. The lady just glanced at them. The important thing is that you have the blue receipt from BDO. You're going to submit that along with the DS forms at the Embassy. Good luck! Toni	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-02 15:18:00

Toni hi toni! thanks for the info... however i'm confused... do u mean i'd have to bring those forms in SLMCEC? i thought i'll be bringing those forms: DS156K (1 completed copy), DS156 (2 completed copies) and DS157 (2 completed copies) to the embassy. so if i bring those to the SLMCEC... this would mean that I'd have to bring another set of copies when i go to the USEM. is that correct? coz i wanted to know what i need to bring to SLMCEC first. coz as much as possible i don't want to bring the other important documents that are not necessary... so that there won't be any risk of me losing any of it. can you clarify this please? thanks toni!

Philippines	k-1 visa forms	Once the K1 applicants are called to line up, the guard will ask for one valid ID and the email confirmation. Don't bother filling up the DS 160. Please paste your photo on the DS 156. A lot of K1 applicants were scrambling to fill up the DS 156, 156K and the DS 157 so even if they were the first ones there, I along with other people began the process before they did. Prepare your DS forms and divide them into two sets. (Use a paper clip!) -DS 156K, DS 157, DS 156 -DS 157 DS 156 You have to present the email confirmation as well. You will be given a number afterwards. GOOD LUCK! Toni thanks thanks... confirmation email? u mean the appointment confirmation email? thanks!!	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-02 08:20:00
Philippines	k-1 visa forms	Hi there! I paid for my visa fee on June 23 in BF Homes, Paranaque. The lady only asked me for the appointment confirmation, DS 157 and DS 156 which she glanced at. I wasn't asked for additional papers and she told me that the DS 160 wasn't necessary. Was the DS 160 form taken from you at the embassy or did you just show it at the gate? Thanks! Toni Dear Honeybear, when I went to BDO to pay for my K1 visa fee, they asked for a DS-160. When I went for my interview on June 21, 2010 - I showed the same DS-160 form, together with my appointment confirmation at the gate. When I was inside the Immigration Section, I was informed I need to submit 2 copies of DS-156, a copy of DS-156K, and 2 copies of DS-157. If you can't find it online via US embassy website, try to Google for it. You need a draft to work on prior to your interview. You can secure a copy of the above mentioned forms at the Embassy, but mind you, it would be stressful. Nakaka conscious pa!	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-06-26 19:26:00
Philippines	wedding souvenirs	I'm torn between kissing dove salt and pepper shakers or customized heart shaped cards. (I love playing Poker!) Toni P.S. What kind of wedding will you guys be having? Traditional?	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-02 21:28:00
Philippines	Deposit of Money at BDO	Precisely. I know how it feels like. Wrap this up and get your lady. Just one less piece of paper she needs to worry about Thanks we are getting really excited because this part of the journey is just about done!	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-03 22:10:00
Philippines	Deposit of Money at BDO	DS 160 is not needed for the K-1 process.She doesn't need to fill it out. Olive is going to just use the appointment letter...will update with what her outcome is when she goes around the 9th or first of the following week. Will send money today and see what happens. Thanks for the information. Also on topic of DS160...when I made the interview date embassy said she did not have to do DS160...is this what everyone is finding too? Thanks, J & O	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-03 19:53:00
Philippines	Deposit of Money at BDO	Sure thing! We all learn something from each other. Toni Thanks Toni and Cathy...this is good information! Cathy...good luck with your interview! Edited by JORDANTONI09, 02 July 2010 - 06:56 PM.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-02 18:56:00
Philippines	Deposit of Money at BDO	She doesn't need to fill up the passport information just yet. It's okay to leave it blank for now. I actually went to my interview and left the "date of issuance" and "expiration date" of my passport blank since I filled up my forms after the medical and it wasn't a problem since the Embassy had my passport anyway. I didn't go through any delays that day due to the missing passport information. Everything else, she has to fill up. Some people go there with just the interview appointment letter or the email confirmation. They won't stamp anything on her papers anyway. I brought my DS 156, DS 157 and the email confirmation just in case. The lady just scanned through the email confirmation and returned them to me as quickly as I handed them over. Toni Does BDO always require DS156 and DS157 or will just the confirmation letter from the US Embassy be enough to deposit the money into the bank. Olive's renewed passport will not be released until 7/16 and the interview appointment is 7/23. I would like to be able to have the money in the account next week but she cannot print out these documents until the passport is released. I know there will still be time to get the money in but we would like to at least be ahead of the game with this since now everything is going on track. Thanks J & O	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-02 15:46:00
Philippines	Just a little funny question=)	I wore a 3/4 sleeve top and a skirt for the first day and a dress for the second. Bring a jacket if you're the type who gets chills easily. You're going to undergo a physical exam so wear something that's easy to remove. Bring a book like I did because it'll be a long wait. My medical took 8 hours - 95% was squandered waiting for my name to be called.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-04 20:55:00
Philippines	Airline Tickets	I agree with Jared and May. MY POE is at LAX and I found a cheap ticket online. PAL, one way, inclusive of taxes = 890.53 It's still tentative though.

Philippines	to all have interview since MAY 24 2010	lol. It's getting a tad repetitive. Someone should make an updated thread of the process and pin it so the information will be accessible. ^^^ Agreed. No DS-160.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-04 21:25:00

Philippines	So Close	You're welcome! Okay, thank you much	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-09 00:05:00
Philippines	So Close	Thanks Happy! I've got my fingers crossed for it. I'll update you once I hear from the Embassy. Well, sometimes you can tell from the smile and I've read your posts in other threads so I pretty much based my judgement on that. hihi. Most people call me "sungit"! I'm used to it by now as well. Sanay na. My pleasure. I have no doubt that you did and I have no doubt as well that you will receive your visa very soon. Lol. Halata bang masyado? Some people call me Happy so I'm kinda used to it now. Nice meeting you too, Toni.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-08 19:02:00
Philippines	So Close	So "sent them" implies you didn't have them at the interview, right? Just wondering ...hehehe it can be a nervous time thinking about these things before the interview but info coming from those people like yourself can be real helpful....thanks for the info Oh no, no. I meant sending them as in I sent them to her to give to the people at the embassy lol. She had my tax returns, W2's, and the employment letter. I even had a co-sponsor and the CO was actually considering accepting it, the only problem was that the co-sponsor was collecting unemployment for a long period of time, so that just sucked major! lol. The only thing she didnt have from me at the interview was paystubs, and thats what got her the blue slip. Hey, I understand about being very nervous, wait until the day of the interview, then the nerves really do come out more than ever lol. Youre welcome, glad to help out and ease those rising nerves. Good Luck on the journey. Oh, and if you ever need anymore info, dont hesistate to send me a PM.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-08 12:40:00
Philippines	So Close	I'd like to think that I answered everything well but the decision was ultimately up to the CO's discretion. Now that I'm waiting for the Embassy to contact me, I always have to remind myself that it's a case to case basis and that I shouldn't compare my situation with the others. I'm still waiting... I have high hopes for a positive outcome so lets see. Happy, eh? I bet you live up to your name. It's nice to meet you, Happy. Toni Yes, I did. We knew that the income thing will be one of the questions that they might ask me about and they did. Lol! My name is Eileen but you can call me Happy.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-08 05:34:00
Philippines	So Close	<br />I would like to ask something.  Did you have tax returns or tax transcripts initially? If so, which ones and what years?<br />thanks<br /> <br /><br /><br /> I had tax returns, I sent them my tax returns and W2's for the 2008 & 2009 tax years.

Philippines	So Close	Okay guys, I'm back from my hiatus. lol. I had to go on a shopping trip to ease my tension. lmao. As Jordan said, it's another waiting game for us. You don't know how often I've been checking my phone. I don't know if it's too soon for me to call today. Is it? @happyndinlove Yeah, I know what you mean. The ambiguous type of questions that just make you go, "uh excuse me?" lol. I can see that you handled it well though. What's your name, by the way? @Jason and Rose I date I entered was for July 28. @Tahoma Thanks for the moral support. I need that so badly right now. I'm at the peak of my paranoia. lol. I wonder how many days it will take. hihi. IMPATIENT! I'm gonna use my mom's suitcases unless she volunteers to buy her precious daughter new ones. We'll be sure to update you guys. Thank you so much for being with us through this journey. We immensely appreciate all the help. Toni	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-06 22:28:00
Philippines	So Close	I see that she has a tentative departure date. What travel agent you going thru ? We're not using any travel agent and she was just browsing for potential dates cuz she was bored and wanted to see what she can find lol. She was browsing through cheapoair.com and the date was mid July, I think? I usually use expedia.com, but couldnt find anything, kayak.com helped some, but she found the best with cheapoair, try any of those.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-06 04:30:00
Philippines	So Close	so....................................... what happened ? did you take it today ? Yeah, she took it in today, apparently there was a looooot of people who recently got blue slips, I know she felt better after that lol. So, she took the paycheck copies (yes, paychecks, not necessarily pay stubs, but it should be good), at first the pre-screener there gave a funny face, and I guess it's cuz the paychecks are weekly and not bi-weekly, so she had to put on one of the copies my name and saying its a weekly paycheck. Then the lady just staple the 4 copied paychecks together with the blue and white slips, then put it in file, and told her that either the Embassy or Air21 will give her a text or email saying if her visa is accepted and that air21 received the packet from the embassy and its on its way to her house, and told her that she has to pay cash on delivery. So, all in all, I dont think it went bad at all, at least they accepted it, right? Now we play the waiting game.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-06 04:15:00
Philippines	So Close	Hi Tina! Thanks for the support! I'll do just that and make the Embassy's phone go off the hook. I'll let you know what ensues from that point! Toni hey toni!! dont worry u will be fine just show them the pay stub and u will gonna have ur PINK!!!! see yah around, godsgift	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-02 06:10:00
Philippines	So Close	That totally slipped my mind. No problem! I'll drop by on Tuesday, then. Thanks for the friendly reminder! With regards to Jordan's documents, I was initially irked upon hearing that I had to go back but that quickly dissipated since I know that he did his part. I'm going to the Embassy on Tuesday to remedy the situation so it's fine by me. Kudos to you for flawlessly fulfilling the documentation thanks to your extensive research. We're both going to be scrupulous down to the slightest details on our next journey. May your wife be healthy throughout the remainder of her pregnancy. Congratulations!

Philippines	So Close	@Joy Thanks so much for the moral support! I wasn't sure how I was feeling about this earlier. I came in confident and everything went smoothly till he asked me for pay stubs. I don't plan to leave until August but still, I'd like to get my visa before then. Thanks. @Jerbbie Hey! It's okay, I can't change what happened. I'm going to the Embassy on Monday to submit the pay stubs. Have a safe flight, btw. @happyndinlove Thank you! It really makes me feel better knowing how optimistic you guys are about this. I was so disappointed yesterday that I was numb. It all didn't sink in till I got home. Yeah, I fully understand why the CO was emphatic about the pay stubs. Jordan and I will remedy the situation on Monday. The prescreener really grilled you? At least you walked out of there with flying colors, right? I went to window 15 and the prescreener was nice to me and barely asked me any questions. She and I were having a little "chikahan" in stead. lol. Jordan earns enough though we got a co-sponsor just in case. The CO looked at my cosponsor and saw that she earned 70,000 a year but had previous history of unemployment so that was when he asked me for Jordan's pay stubs. He was really nice and looked at me in the eye rather than staring into the dark hole a.k.a the malevolent monitor. lol. Thanks for sharing. @Tahoma Thank you! See, I really like how people on VJ can uplift people's spirits. I looked like a walking zombie yesterday. I filled up the blue form as soon as I got home and Jordan's going to email the pay stubs to me so I can arrange the papers for Monday. I wish to have the same fate as your wife did. Her persistence was obviously very effective! Hmm.. I don't think they do interviews on Friday. The man at the window told me to go between Monday to Thursday from 1-2pm and reminded me not to go on a Friday. Your wife probably made such a mark that they had to write it down on paper. lol. AWESOME. @Tin Thank you! I thought I had to go through another one. PHEW! The CO was laid back and his eyes were so tantalizing that I had an answer to everything and I felt like I was just talking to a friend so I kept rambling even if he wasn't asking me anything. There was a mosquito in the interview room so he asked me, "Is that a mosquito?" I said yes but then I swatted it away and added, "It doesn't matter, it's gone now." He replied, "It's okay. It's on your side, not mine." lol. It was funny and surprising at the same time that I couldn't help but go, "uk!" Did you go on a Monday too? I was just wondering because I intend to go there on Monday and I don't know if I should make the driver wait or if I should just send him to fetch my sister from school. It all depends on how long it'll take. Yay! Thanks for the number. I'll start bugging them on Tuesday. As long as I'll be with Jordan then another journey is worth it. Thanks for commiserating with us. We truly appreciate the time you've attributed to this post. Your comments certainly alleviate our worries and paranoia. (Well, my paranoia. lol.) THANK YOU. -Toni	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-01 15:04:00
Philippines	So Close	I hope the process won't take too long. I'll give them 4 of Jordan's pay stubs on Monday and then call the U.S Embassy at least once a day. lol. Hey Jason! Thanks for the help.

Philippines	So Close	Hi Tin! It's me, Toni. I had to cool off for a bit. I was kinda sad because I really thought that everything was going well cuz even the American doing the biometrics was conversing with me which made the others in line a tad irked. hihi. The prescreener was a Filipina and she was sooo funny! I have to send you a private message to tell you all about it. lol. The CO that I got was nice though the other CO who shared the room with him reminded me of Cruella deVil cuz of the looks she gave. He was really amicable and he saw how I arranged my papers and that I used post its for everything. He said that I have OCD. Maybe just a little. The CO told me that he wanted to issue me a pink slip but then, he needs to see Jordan's pay stubs first. I'm going back on Monday. Do I go there and wait for a pink slip or do I just drop off the papers and wait for them to contact me? Thanks for all the help you've given me. Jordan and I sincerely appreciate it. Toni Same thing happened to me, however, it's the 2009 tax return that the CO wanted to see. At least, Toni will not be so stressed out anymore. Just give them what they want and she'll get her visa. Congrats! Edited by JORDANTONI09, 30 June 2010 - 11:47 PM.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-06-30 23:46:00
Philippines	So Close	Well, Toni went in for the interview today. She had everything with her, except for pay stubs, she made everybody, even the pre screener laugh, but the pay stubs is what prevented her from getting the PINK, instead she got the BLUE. I really didnt think it would matter with not sending any, but to the CO I guess it did. He said she couldve gotten the pink today, but she didnt have any. The only big upside to this thing is, at least she passed the interview and she just needs to bring them in, but still, it does put a big damper on a, what couldve been, a very happy day. Thanks to everybody on here who was so nice and kind, all of your advice was very helpful, and to all of our friends, A BIG THANKS. I know it seems like a giving up tone, but its not, it just sucks that this happened. Anyway, I'm just gonna send it and be done with it, and get that visa. Thanks to all who read this, I needed to vent it out.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-06-30 20:21:00
Philippines	USCIS Case Status Question	Maybe you will still be one of the lucky ones who will get approved fast by the CSC. I sent my package to the CSC in early Feb. and I havent seen any activity at all until one night in April, when I got a text and email from the USCIS at around 10pm. It was close to 2 months after I sent in the petition and it was the USCIS telling me that my petition had been approved. So your petition could be touched one day, and get approved the next in a blink of an eye, so let's hope that there isnt so much volume on the petitions, and that you dont have to wait tooooo long to be with your fiancee again. Good Luck on your journey.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-07 14:14:00
Philippines	Ongoing Relationship	I selected two conversations per month. One conversation for Jordan and I were probably 8 pages long or so you can imagine how thick my file was. I printed a total of 120 pages from February to June. The CO was nice and he scanned the first page of our conversation. He asked me if Jordan spoke in Tagalog cuz I think he called me a "loca loca" lol. A few pages will do. Make sure that you have a sufficient amount of financial evidence. Please don't forget those darn pay stubs! Toni	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-04 20:46:00
Philippines	arranging documents	I know that you're the beneficiary. Use the draft as a guide and print it out. I guess that will do. I wasn't asked for Jordan's Letter of Intent anyway though I placed it above my papers so the CO would see it. Your interview date is coming up! Good luck to you! Relaaax. The employees at the Embassy are very accommodating and approachable. Be yourself and you'll be fine. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, Cathy! Toni I don't have his old letter on intent with signature just the draft he showed me before submitting our papers..Oh well,i'll just relax and I know I have all the things i need..BTW I'm the Filipina not the USC Pray for me pls PS:correction on DS forms i mean 2 DS 157 and just 1 DS 156K	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-11 02:14:00
Philippines	arranging documents	It's fine, don't sweat it. I get that a lot especially when I have reservations because people expect a man to show up. lol. Hey, sometimes there's order in chaos. As long as you know where everything is, eh? lol. Do tell your lady to paste the photos on her forms to avoid the hassle of scouring for paste. She can submit the DS forms next to the entrance of the non-immigrant section as long as her papers are completely filled out. Yes my apologies. I guess I should have expected that Jordan, a guy like me, would have just tossed everything in a big brown bag. hehe @CATHYlovesRICK You can use the old Letter of Intent and just have your fiancé alter the date on it. I'm not sure if the signature has to be original. I'll get back to you on that. Phone records aren't necessary. Don't worry. Don't put them in scrap books cuz they won't fit in the slot. Either glue the photos on sheets of paper or just hand them in as is.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-11 01:50:00
Philippines	arranging documents	That may possibly be the reason why the consuls are seated behind glass partitions. Visa applicants might have attempted to lunge at them in the past. lol. My deepest condolences! She'll be celebrating with you in spirit on your big day. Well I sure hope she did, coz if I was her and I was denied, I'd kick the CO's butt! Yeah, getting married on her birthday. I know she'd be happy in heaven since I'm marrying her best friend's nephew.	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-10 20:47:00
Philippines	arranging documents	Hey, we stalled for two months as well. I couldn't start my process because my work was election related so my boss and I agreed for me leave mid June in stead. You're getting married on your mom's birthday? That's sweet! I know, I was kidding as well. Don't bring too much evidence unless you want scoliosis in your future. lol. During my interview, there was a lady who had a filing folder plus two big bags of paperwork. My mouth gaped. I assume she got approved for all her effort. lol. I still don't have the BDO slips coz we're kinda delaying the process on our own Might do medical and the interview by September as we didn't expect everything to be as fast and we were planning to marry by 26Feb next year, my mom's birthday. And no, the 80 pounds thing was something I've read from previous posts so it became a funny joke with me and my fiancé. I don't think I can carry a whole person's weight on the interview anyways LOL!	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-10 20:14:00
Philippines	arranging documents	Actually, It's Toni. Jordan's my fiance. I can't blame you, our names are quite androgyous. lol. Well, I hope my suggestion helped. My papers were arranged so well that I was entertained before the ones who came before me. lol. I like that set up also Jordan. I am in process of still putting things together and have been debating on how to arrange them. @070809 Thank you! You don't need to bring such an overwhelming amount of evidence. You might want to trim it down. That's similar to the expanding folder I used. The file organizer that I purchased only cost me around Php140. That way, you can avoid the hassle of scrambling to look for the required documents or pulling them out one by one. From what I just saw, you're good. Don't forget the BDO receipt! (blue one) You have to submit that as well. Good luck, guys! Toni (beneficiary) lol	JORDANTONI09	Male	Philippines	2010-07-10 19:57:00
Philippines	arranging documents	I used an expanding envelope and it was convenient since there were labels for every flap and all I had to do was pull out the documents. I put my papers in folders just in case but the prescreener returned them since they already supplied a folder for my documents. I also color coded the papers with post its but you don't have to do that. I'm just obsessive compulsive that way. lol. Just hand in your papers. I sorted the documents into 4 divisions. DS Forms (You'll submit this at the cubicle right next to the entrance of the non immigrant section) *I sorted them into 2 sets and used paper clips to bind them. DS 156K DS 157 DS 156 DS 157 DS 156 + email appointment confirmation Certificates (You'll submit these papers to the prescreener) NBI Clearance Birth Certificate CENOMAR Proof of Existing Relationship (You'll submit these papers to the prescreener) chat logs Skype call logs emails snail mails Jordan's AT&T phone logs photos +++Fiance's Letter of Intent (place this on the top) Evidence of Support (You'll submit these papers to the prescreener) I-134 Letter of Employmen 2 years of W2's 2 years of ITRs pay stubs *Bring pay stubs cuz I made a huge mistake of not bringing any and it obviously cost me. Good luck! Toni SORRY ABOUT MY PREVIOUS POST! I DON'T WANNA GET YOU GUYS ALL CROSSED EYED. LOL. HERE, I FIXED IT. Thanks Tahoma! Oh yeah! Don't forget your fiance's letter of intent!
