noa2 from september

Don't worry guys. I was very worried for 45 days thinking they lost my application or something. It is just taking longer than usually for nvc to process things but be patient. The longest I've seen things take is 7 weeks. Mine took 6 weeks I personally got my info last Friday oct 4. Right now my file is already in Florida and it will be in bogota colombia tomorrow. Be patient although I know it's difficult

Hi foxy05, I think you replied to the wrong post. You replied to my post.

Anyways, I remember fluff5 mentioned (please check earlier post) that she needs to go back to Manila for the visa interview because she is not Singaporean PR.

Good Luck!

Regards

Dee

Hi fluff5, i am a newbie here, just saw your post and thought that you might help me. My fiance got our NOA2 2 days ago via mail.My fiance and I are currently waiting for the packet 3. I am filipino living and working here in singapore for 2 years no but I am not holding PR status. Do I have to go back in manila for my interview?

Hi! late reply, i guess i dont get a notification if a post is not quoted

Anyway.. since im not PR, my case was actually forwarded to US embassy manila. So I'm processing my visa over there have to leave my work here cause I wont be able to get a 3 week leave (assuming it takes 2 weeks to get my passport back after te interview). So there... im sad im leaving here a lot sooner than expected and when my visa isnt for sure yet.

Hi fluff5, then I wouldn't have anyone to talk to.... so sad.

But at least we have come to the end of the tunnel and soon, we will be reunited with our loved ones.

Take care!

DHL Tracking From NVC to US Embassy

Thank you so much for providing this helpful informtion.

My Fiance called up NVC on April 24th and they said that they have sent out the petition on April 24th but seems like there isn't anything going out to Singapore.

I found it! It was shipped on April 23rd and arrived in Singapore on April 26th. Nice!

Visa Status Check Confusion

Good morning Speech,

Thank you very much for the reply. I will have my fiance call the Embassy today, to see if she can get any further with them. As I stated in the original post, they won't tell me anything on the phone. Just wait for packet to arrive is all.....

I'll keep updating this thread. Thanks!

Visa Status Check Confusion

Hi everyone, hope I can get some help here

Today, I had checked the status of our K-1 Visa on the US. Dept. of States's website.

To my knowledge, a K-1 is a Non Immigrant Visa right? When entering our case number using the NIV selection, it says that our case number is invalid.

Here is my confusion.....when you select the Immigrant Visa (IV) selection, it says that our status is ready for us to schedule an interview at the Manila US Embassy.

My fiance has not received a packet yet with instructions, or anything.

I called the Embassy earlier today, and was basically told to wait for this "packet" to arrive with instructions. Not very encouraging to say the least, since they gave me no information on if they had received anything at all.

Has anyone experienced the same, or does anyone know what this means? Are we actually ready to scedule the interview?

Thank you kindly,

Tim

It's been almost 3 weeks for us, and no change as of yet. I am still calling the Embassy's call center line, and we are still told the same thing. It has been expedited, and to just wait for the e-mail.

We had a similar situation, whereas I had to call the Embassy in the morning of our interview and postpone. Since we didn't have a back up date, I asked if we could reschedule online and was told that we could. When we tried to schedule, our receipt number was invalid, so I emailed them. I was told that we needed to send the jpeg of the receipt . That took a while, but we did. Eventually I called and was asked if my fiancee received the Letter of Eligibility. Eventually my fiancee produced it and told me she received it. Upon calling back I was told that the EMbassy would "escalate" our case and we would receive notice when we could reschedule. We did this, and I noticed that there is a cancellation link if you need to change the date (you are allowed this only once).

I would suggest calling in order to really get things rolling.

Kambingaso, thank you very much for the reply.

Yes.....this is exactly where we are at this moment. Receipt is invalid, as I have tried to reschedule. As I stated above, the Embassy rep told us that she would expedite the rescheduling for us and to wait for the email. I understand that is has only been a few days since the missed appointment, but I have grown Leary of how the Embassy handles things. I haven't had much luck with calling the customer service number that is posted on the embassy web site in the past.

When I am inside my Fiance's profile online, after clicking on the "Provide Feedback" tab to the left, this is now what I see...

You have the following open case: Case ID Case-2013- 08-16-######## Reason No Show Procedure Status New Comments

Does this look familiar?

Thanks Hank, I appreciate the input. To clarify, you are saying that the Embassy "may" schedule the date themselves? We were able to do it the first time, and pick our own dates of course. Either way is fine with us......I hope we can get it picked up soon enough. The holding pattern is making us pretty freaked out.

Hi everyone,

Okay, quite nervous here. Please bear with me and my questions.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, my Fiance missed her K1 interview appointment date.

I called the Embassy immediately, and explained the situation. They asked me for a reason, I told them, and the rep seemed satisfied and said she will make a note of it. She was very kind.

I was then told, that she will "expedite" our case for a reschedule. She informed me to wait for notification via e-mail, and also told me she has no idea when this e-mail will arrive. This was two days ago, and today being Saturday in the Phil, I know I will not receive anything today.

My questions please:

She completed her medical almost 2 weeks ago. Everything was fine. Since the embassy has her medical information already, will it actually expire? I have seen in print, that it would expire in 30 days, therefore she may have to attend medical all over again, depending on our new date.

I have logged into her profile online, with ustraveldocs.com/ph. On the "Provide Feedback" tab, our case is now listed as "No Show Proceedure". "Status: NEW". If anyone has had experience with this, does this actually mean we are now back in process to reschedule? Just a waiting game at this point again?

Also in the same profile, on the Schedule an appointment tab, it will let me go as far as the payment page. When I try to enter the Interview payment receipt number, it says the number is invalid. Once we are okay to reschedule again, will the same receipt number be accepted again? Would I be able to choose our date again, or would it be assigned for us?

Are there any other numbers I should be calling today here in the US, to assist in this process? Unfortunately, I have become distrusting with how the Embassy handles some of their procedures. I have already called the NVC, and they informed me that they cannot help.

Any help and experience here, will be greatly appreciated. Although the Embassy rep was very helpful, it did not seem that she could answer all of my questions. Obviously, we cannot screw this up again. We have an American citizen child (US passport, CRBA) that resides with my fiance in the Phil, and this unfortunate event has left us both stressing beyond belief.....

Please post any actions I must take further, anyone's experience with this, what happened, timelines to get it rectified, etc. MUCH appreciated people.

US passport size photo

okay,just found out that we need 2 US size passport photos....where on earth do i get those done in the UK?
help please

I had mine done in a chemist near my work. They checked the size and were perfect. I should get more than 2 though. I had 6 taken and I am sure you need at least 4, then you need some more when you get to the U.S, but you can get those done over there.

GP Medical Records

I reckon it'll be a case of getting them faxed over if theyre really needed. I went to request mine the other day, and my doc didnt seem to have a clue, and the receptionist was horribly rude and seemed to imply i couldnt even look at my own medical records!

Ill let you know if i manage to get them off them though!

I found a few "key terms" im gonna throw at them to try and get them from the NHS website

http://www.nhs.uk/ch...bcategoryid=160

Figure if i start saying "Data Protection Act" and "Subject Access Request (SAR)" I might win them over!

Thanks for the replies.
I have saved that link, I may even take it as a printed document when I visit my doctor next week.

Hi all Again

I was thinking of taking my medical records when I move to America, but I saw the receptionist and she told me they belong to the NHS so I cannot take them. Do I need them to register with a health center in America or not. Has anyone had this problem.

I phoned the medical people today at work, I have an appointment on Friday 11th March at 9.50am. I could have had one next week but it was too short notice for work.
Some useful info though, there is now only one place that does the medicals, this is at 4 Bentinck Mansions, London W1U 2ER. I was told this when I phoned.
Items to take if anyone is interested or going through with their medical at London soon, take: Medical questionnaire, Passport, I passport photo (I was told to take the U.K one not U.S one, Police certificate, Vaccination record (Flu jab not needed I was told)

Claiming tax back in U.K

Just a quick message to anyone not knowing how to claim tax from your earnings.
When you leave U.K. fill out or do when you arrive in U.S. the P85 and send off to your local tax office in U.K along with your P45 & P60.
You can send it off and the tax rebate you are entitled to can be credited to your bank or sent to you in U.S. Don't forget to claim, it's your money and could come in very hand.
Oh and here is a online tax calculator to work out your rebate if any: http://www.taxundo.com/Calculator.html
