hi fellow vjyers!!!! it's gonna be a month now since my fiance got our notice from nvc.does anyone had their packet 3 yet?or did you try to call the embassy to set for an interview?please a little advice!!!!

Hi,don`t wait the so called packet 3 or 4 , as long as u have ur MNL case number u can try calling USEM for interview appointment. My fiance called USEM 4 days after we received our NVC Letter and he was so lucky to have interview appointment in just one call. Tell your fiance to try calling USEM too . Good luck and Merry Christmas!

congrats guys!!! i'll try to call the embassy tomorrow.coz it's been a month already.hopefully i'll be lucky...how much if i'll call the embassy via pldt?

huhu...i tried to call the embassy today and i wasn't lucky....they said that they don't have my case no. yet in their list...why oh why????????

Medical Appointment and USEM Packet 4 Letter

QUOTE (Mykuls Merry Ann @ Jan 4 2009, 11:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hello VJ'ers!!!!

I have an important question:

My fiancee is going to take her medical appointment on Monday Jan 12, 2009. We have our case number and a letter from the NVC stating the case will be forwarded to the USEM within a week. And we should be able to get our interview date this week. But I need to know if definite that she needs to have that letter from the USEM with the case #? Will they turn her away if she does not have that letter. Can she take her Case#, NOA2, passport and other things and still succeed in getting the medical appointment? Or will they turn her away for not having the packet letter because she has not received it yet?

I have heard many have taken their medical without getting the letter from the USEM, if so, what did you say to the guard at the door?

Thanks for your help!

my fiance had our nvc letter since nov 26th and stated they'll forward it within a week but they didn't...

i think the best thing is to wait for your packet 3...it will be a hassle free...

hello sis,

it takes one day to get a cenomar, you should go there in NSO early in the morning so that they will release your cenomar in the afternoon.. if you will go there too late you must return in the next day to get it.

hope this will help you...

a friend of mine told me that it will be a month to release it.now somebody was helping me to get it and still he said it's 1 month.so i said i'll get it but i was worried because any moment now i'll have my packet 3.i just saw this cenomar here on vj and i can really say that it realy helps...thanks guys!!!!

You can have it in a day if you go to NSO.

i'm from pampanga...too bad if i go there and then for sure i'll go back the next day or two..argggg!!!!!!don't know what to do.....

QUOTE

Validity of visas

Generally, an immigrant visa is valid for six (6) months from the date of issuance. The validity of a visa, however, may also be limited because of medical restrictions or other reasons. If an applicant knows that departure will not be possible within this period, he or she should request to have the interview moved to a later date. The Embassy does not extend the validity of an issued visa. However, an expired visa may be replaced if the applicant is able to demonstrate that his/her ability to use the visa was due to circumstances beyond his/her control. If an applicant is determined to be eligible for a replacement visa, he/she will be asked to update his record and will be charged the applicable consular fees.

To request a replacement visa, the expired visa needs to be surrendered at the Embassy with a letter explaining the reasons why the visa was not used.

as jfd said, it will depend on the reason why you were not able travel within the 6months. just try doing what she did, who knows.

good luck to you and God bless.

HI EVERYONE....MY INTERVIEW DATE IS ON THE 9TH BUT ME AND FIANCE NOT YET READY WITH THINGS..SO WE DECIDED TO GET MARRIED HERE IN PINAS...WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO DO?ARE WE GOING TO TELL THE EMBASSY THAT WE ARE CANCELLING THE PETITION??

Yes you can call the embassy to cancel or you could ask them to reschedule the interview a couple of months from now while you decide what to do.

Most people on this board are here to find out how to make the visa process go as fast as possible and get their visa as soon as possible so its hard for them to imagine how anyone might not want to do that.

But from my own experience I know that not all Filipina are ready to quickly come to the USA. You need to do what is in your heart. I personally am much happier that I married to my little darlin rather than pursued a K-1 and only had her as a fiance while the visa was processed.

It's up to you but I think everybody need to do what makes them happy and the visa process is secondary to that.

But you should talk to your future husband about his plan. Ask him how long can you stay there. Does he make enuf money to come there to see you often, can he support you after you marry, do u wanna have kids, where you gonna live...there are lots of questions you need to talk about cuz once you get married in the Phils you gonna be married for life. I know some get annulment in the Phils but it very hard to do espically if you married to foreigner and you start having a family

So you need 100% sure you want to be married, a K-1 give you chance to change mind, but if you marry no choice you will have to live with your decision.

I very happy with our decision and so is my wife but our decision is not right choice for everybody.

If you really wanna marry go for it but if you not 100% sure maybe you should just postpone interview for a couple of months.

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY..IT'S REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW BUT HE IS THE PETITIONER SO I CAN'T REALLY DECIDE.I'M NOT AFTER THE PETITION AND I JUST WANT TO TAKE CARE OF HIM BUT LIKE WHAT I'VE SAID I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.I KNOW EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE WITH THEIR FIANCE PERMANENTLY BUT MAYBE WE REALLY SHOULD ACCEPT AND RESPECT EACHOTHER.I LOVE HIM THAT'S WHY I'M STILL HERE FOR HIM WHATEVER DECISSIONS HE WANTS....

Hi, there! I have experienced too from PHilpost my fiance` sent me 2 mails late November , one is a Christmas card with photos inserted. Good thing I got it late Dec. . The second one my fiance sent prior to that card was 2 copies of DVD, created by my fiance and one DVD is video of his parents place in Tennessee , guess what? until now, I haven`t received the second one. Oh well, I guess post office employee thinking that there was a money inside. Last week,mail man pass by in our house I told him I haven`t received one packet sent to me , it was mailed through USPS last Nov. why until now they haven`t delivered it. He said they will follow up the mail. I hope I can still received it! .........Nothing more to say, nothing change in Phil. gov`t. !

oh hell yeah got some experience from that office too...my fiance send card and didn't know he inserted a money...coz it's his first time...and i haven't got it...and then the second my fiance just trying to trick them again and so he send me card again and i didn't get it...they're too funny that they thought the first one wasn't a lesson for us...funny they're so stupid...

QUOTE (KimandRuss @ Nov 20 2008, 12:18 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Each petition is put into a standard format and given a bar code that is 'suppose' to be scanned when the petition is moved from one location to another, worked on, looked at...etc. When the petition is scanned the date on your case status online will change (see below)..this is touched. We have learned here that 'touches' are very inconsistent and although they can mean an approval is on it's way, they often mean very little and shouldn't really be taken too seriously.

hi fellow vjyers!!! happy holidays!!! just a little bit curios...got our nvc letter for almost a month now.i tried to dall the embassy but they said they don't have my case yet through their computer.how can i track my case from nvc if they already forwarded it already??????please just a little help...

Its not as easy as some say by tracking DHL, as you don't KNOW that its YOUR package that is the one going out, only that SOMETHING went out on such a day. I received my NOA2 notice Dec 10th area, called NVC and asked for KEV#, but they did not have it to give to me until the 11th, then I tracked all packages to Kiev, thinking it was mine, but weight showed 7lbs and 1 lb going to Kiev on 11 &12th, so I started calling Kiev when I got DHL by email telling me it arrived, still nothing in computer and as of Dec 24th, still nothing in computer, so now they are closed and you cannot start calling again until the 13th, when the Embassy starts to input data again. I was told this by Call center on Dec 24th and they were booking for January 21st on that day , so I hope to get thru on the 15th and book for the 27-30 sometime

Then I got first letter from NVC, saying sent to Embassy on the 11th, then yet another letter from NVC dated 13th and another on the 16th. I called them and asked if this was a computer glitch and was I sure that it EVER went out and they told me they would investigate. That was on the 22nd and nothing back from them yet, but I assume it went to kiev on the 11-12th???

Some say wait 3 weeks before calling Call Center, but if you read the posts here, some only took 10-11 days to get in computer, some took longer, so figure you and I are almost ready for the January 13-14th area to start checking again. You will have to allow all day on the 12th when they return to work, to start input data again into computers.

Good luck

yeah i've noticed that some got lucky.i just don't understand that.they're not doing it randomly?..not fair sometimes...oh well thanks for the info...goodluck to all of us...
