QUOTE (alienlovechild @ Aug 28 2008, 06:01 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE Please any advice would help, i cant sleep at night grrr!!!!! Get some sleep. You more than exceed the minimum poverty guidelines. Think about it. Most Americans don't have any substantial savings. A lot of petitioners aren't exactly rich and have somebody co-sponsor for them. "These poverty guidelines remain in effect for use with the Form I-864 Affidavit of Support from April 1, 2007, until new poverty guidelines go into effect in the Spring of 2008. If you cannot meet the minimum income requirements using your earned income, you have various options: You may add the cash value of your assets such as money in savings accounts, stocks, bonds, and property. To determine the amount of assets required to qualify, subtract your household income from the minimum income requirement (125 percent of the poverty level for your family size). You must prove the cash value of your assets is worth five times this difference (the amount left over). Example for a household size of 4: 125 percent of 2007 poverty guideline $25,812 sponsor's income $19,500 Difference $6,312 Multiply by 5 x 5 Minimum Required Cash Value of Assets" $31,560 http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD	pho4ray	Male	Philippines	2008-08-28 18:30:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Interview for I-751 Help Please	Thanks for the replies everyone. Does anyone know what the process is now that we had our interview and she really didnt say much but she needs to do further review of our case. Is this the last interview we need to go to or is there more after this one? Thanks again everyone.	pho4ray	Male	Philippines	2011-11-19 02:32:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Interview for I-751 Help Please	I've been searching through the forums and cant find any other interview posts like mine. I had a terrible day today and on top of that I just started a new job this past oct 24th missing one day of work already today. What is the the usual process now after we had this interview? Do we get a notice in the mail with a approved or denial letter? Do we have another interview again? Please chime in on what should we expect and do. Im kinda worried here because of this damn white paper with the box checked FURTHER REVIEW. I have no clue and wanted to ask the lady but she was so stern and did not want to be interupted and sent us on our way out.	pho4ray	Male	Philippines	2011-11-18 21:24:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Interview for I-751 Help Please	Hello everyone, My wife and I had our interview to get her 10 year visa card(i-751) that sometimes they send you in the mail without even an interview. They sent us a blue request for evidence before this and I sent the same stuff I sent when I first filled the application. I mean seriously I have no other things to send them and sent everything they asked for. At the interview today the lady asked questions and her main concern was about our health insurance. We were both out of work at the time and applied for county insurance about 3 months ago which is free if you dont have any income. She kept our papers with our insurance details and our joint bank account statement we have togther that was all. She looked at our car insurance and that was it besides our bank account and health insurance. She told us at the end of the interview I dont see any problem here, but she needs to further review our case and gave us the white sheet with the your case has been continued for the reasons checked below: further review box checked instead of the congratulations, your application has been approved. Im pretty stressed out this second and worried like i've never been before. I mean how come they dont come to our home and visit us? I wrote a letter as well in the evidence to invite them over to visit us here at our home if they wanted to. I dont see why we have to go through this when we are just a simple couple who love each other. Please someone give us any kind of feedback on our situation. I feel like my wife is going to get taken away from me and get deported for nothing we have done wrong. Do I need to get an attorney? Please someone advise us...... O she started off as a K1-Visa from the Philippines to here in America Thank you and GodBless, Ray and Mary	pho4ray	Male	Philippines	2011-11-18 20:23:00

Philippines	No DV process not retroactive	QUOTE (Jose Rizal @ Oct 13 2008, 05:46 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd like to share to everyone that my wife just called the US Embassy today and she was informed that my DV is not yet with the Embassy after six weeks. She then asked if the DV is no longer required and Grace mentioned that it is a new process this October. My wife asked if they can do something about it and she said there's nothing she can do about it. Haay naku. NSO talaga! Good luck to all those waiting for their visas due to DV. so the new process is that there is no longer a documentation verification fee(DV) starting october???	pho4ray	Male	Philippines	2008-10-13 20:36:00
Philippines	So no more Documentation Verification???	QUOTE (angel0482 @ Oct 15 2008, 06:59 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Everyone! I just got my visa approved last Tuesday, October 14, 2008. After I was interviewed by a consul. I was asked to sit and wait at the waiting area again for my number to be called at window 37 or 38. After a few minutes of chatting with some applicants, my number was flashed at the counter. I was called to proceed at Window 37. The lady gave me the instructions and handed me the pink slip together with my confirmation letter i printed from my email. After she gave me the instructions, I asked her if I should pay again for the mailing of my visa and passport or am i done since I paid ahead of time with the P650 at Metrobank. Then the lady at the window 37 told me that the document verification is not needed anymore and that I will asked the Delbros staff at the booth if they can refund my P650 since it's no longer needed. So i went to the Delbros booth asked the in charge there if they could refund but I got no luck and just went paid the P250 for the courier service instead. Don't feel like arguing that day. Lol! I hope this will give answers to everybody. I'm hoping for my visa to be delivered within 2 weeks. Cheers!

Philippines	So no more Documentation Verification???	well i just wanted to clarify for sure the dv was gone. in some of the other threads it seemed that people were saying it was still there and saying you still need to pay. it seems like this is concrete now that the dv is no longer required. well no matter what he or she says or asks, we are all here to help one another......thanks for the info Edited by pho4ray, 15 October 2008 - 07:28 PM.	pho4ray	Male	Philippines	2008-10-15 19:28:00

Philippines	The interview is DONE!

Shir passed!!! Congratulations...im so happy for both of you.. Pls include us in ur prayers so that we can pass and be happy like u guys.. Again, I wish u both lifetime happiness. God bless you. Thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts in all this. Without all of you, we both would have been lost. Shir says that most of the counsel questions, all 5 minutes of it, were about our wedding plans and gown selection. I guess if we have all that planned we are serious about this. She got the really nice counsel who looked like Lady Diane. The pre-screen made her nervous cause she started with, "So tell me your story"... a free style question like that is hard to answer. She was very nice though. Thank you all so much. Phil and Shir yes my fiancee had the same problems as well with the pre-screen..lady was a filipina and asked why i havent been working lately....she told my fiancee 60+k in stocks and $140 grand in the banks which clearly shows that money has been steadly accumulating over a time of 5 yrs is not sufficient enough but its up to the officer inside that makes the decision...my fiancee even had my condos title in hand and estimated value in hand....my fiancee then felt really bad and her hopes were down, but the officer didnt even say anything about that stuff...pfft what a bunch of horse ###### with the pre-screens!!!! ....why is it that i hear that the pinoys/pinays working at the embassy are the ones that are the headaches and intimidating the applicants??? those filipinos working in the embassy should be happy more hardworking filipinos are trying to come to america....filipinos are knows across the world as hardworking, intelligent, kind human beings...	pho4ray	Male	Philippines	2009-02-06 18:29:00

Philippines	6-8 weeks for the visa to arrive??	thanks for all the info guys i really appreciate everyones help and experience.. i called the embassy (632) 301-2000 pressed 0, talked to operator and transfered to visa services..i then talked to a nice filipina named grace and she was probably the best person who i have talked to regarding this whole process. very helpfull and to top all the good customer service she tracked our case #dwn and told us that our visa was just printed out yesterday and will be released this tues to be delivered..what a relief it is to know that...it is much better to call this number then to call the visa information customer service number..they didnt really help and just told me to wait. the lady was even answering me by saying mmmhu not yes or no...very bad service......btw i recommend all us petitioners to call the number up top and ask for a status update if you havent heard anything since your last interview date if you are waiting for your visa for along time...

Philippines	6-8 weeks for the visa to arrive??	Hello again fellow VJ'rs..I called the embassy today and they told me that the counsel who interviewd (feb 4th) my fiancee has not issued a visa yet. It usually takes 6-8 weeks for a decision to be made??? Is this correct???? Wow this really is making me worry. Feels like something is wrong with our case. I mean they issued her a pink slip and told her to pay the air21 fee, he even said everything went fine....I dont understand	pho4ray	Male	Philippines	2009-02-12 02:28:00
