How are you Gay? Long time no hear but glad to see you´re back again!!! We did miss you...

Hi !!!
could someone please help me !!!
i ve just received RFE and it says
You MUST provide “certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for every such conviction. This is required even if your records were sealed or otherwise cleared or if anyone, including a judge, law enforcement officer, or attorney, told you that you no longer have a record.�
although my fiance indicated on the I-129F form that he has never been convicted of the crimes outlined on it, a government search of his records came back that he has been.
does anyone has the same RFE ??
does anyone knows if bad police report affect K1 visa????
PLEASE HELP
Thanks alot!!!

I almost fell off my chair laughing to this....I needed that laugh...

Hello jen, I'm fine.. got our approval today so I'm actually more than fine




I have not come across anybody who have rfe regarding police records yet... but I think if it is not some major crime and if it has been dropped or cleared I think you will be fine. you just need to have a heart to heart and honest talk with your fiance. You do deserve to know everything, especially a significant thing like previous case dropped or not... this process is already stressful enough, so there should be no added surprises along the way for the both of you.

I wish you the best and may everything be resolved the soonest. God be your guide.

YAY! CONGRATULATIONS GAY!!!!! Am so happy for you and your Riki! At last you got it!

Thank you jen... now i could start worrying about medical... i am a little hypochondriac so... well, maybe i should ban all oily foods and MSG and other stuffs for awhile... and I will really really have to start doing the belly dance again (VCD right here in the comfort of my room).... and also take out my electra VCD's also .. it won't ease my medical neuroses but at least it could help jiggle my belly fats a little.

I told Darren that I used to middle eastern dance when I was younger, and he was quite intrigued...guess it's time to pull out the costume (if it still fits!!!)...

That´s ok, you´re not alone, count me in! And I guess I have to start hunting for that VCDs the soonest. Coz it sounds like fun especially for this summer break

Congratulations dbears!

GO GIRL!!!

Even if the old costume wont fit, you can always improvise... And you can practice in front of a mirror first so you will get used to it again before performing infront of Darren. I bet you'd make his jaw drop and make him drool




I saw the complete electra striptease workout collection @ NCCC mall, I just don't know if they still have it.. as for the belly dance, there is a VCD showcasing the twins Veena & Neena and there is also one with our local artist... I prefer the one with the twins its more direct & easier to follow. And there are also a lot of belly dance classes in davao if you want. .




Thank you very much Cecile.

There have been so many approval notices lately that I'm having trouble posting congratulations in all of them - it's wonderful to see and I hope the rate continues!

Yep - but it gives us all hope, right?

Most definitely!

I can't wait for the first January CSC approval

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Thank you, Saffyre!

I'm definitely hoping that the rest of the January and February VSC filers receive swift approvals!

So...who's going to get the first interview date? Or has somebody already received one and I've missed it?

Hmm, I haven't seen any yet! I'm thinking Dawn and Darren might be first on that one!

I don't think any January filer has had interview yet but some may probably have interview sched already.

I'll add to your hope... aside from all january and february filers getting swift approval... i also hope that CSC will soon start working with January & feb filers. The CSC approvals last week was not bad now if they could increase it we might be seeing January approvals by first week of April. I'm crossing my fingers and my toes for all these.

Anyways, I did get petition approval already BUT i'd be waiting for all of you guys before going for AOS, some, if not all of you CSC filers might even apply for AOS earlier than me

How come? Is this because you're not getting married until October? I hope there's no problems!

Does it take longer for your interviews to come through?

Thanks Alot for your answer, i really needed it!!!!

Some who got approval February already have interview scheds for March, April & May so i guess we might have our interview sched by May or June so it is not really the interview. It is more because of what Rachel said, it's because we won't be getting married til October. We also won't be going there until August even if we'd get the visa by June or July.

This is a very expensive process for us, especially since there would be 3 of us applying for visa and paying also for the medical fee plus all the other expenses associated with the process. So we do need to save up some more and I also need to make sure that everything here will be in place and in order before I leave. But everything is fine.



Pls do keep us posted, your experience will be a great help to others who will be facing the same dilemma. And again, pls do talk with your fiance. He needs to be totally open with you coz you might be asked about his past on your interview, you would need to know how to reply.

Everything will be ok, just stay strong and keep the faith. I wish you all the best.

Ah, understood! Well, I'm really hoping that Alex and I can have an October wedding, too - so hopefully you'll have me filing around the same time as you at least!

I fully understand about the expenses - I'd be doing the exact same thing in your shoes.

Herolmounia - I was going to reply but dbears has you covered. Seriously, take her advice and I really hope that your fiancé isn't hiding anything from you. Good luck!

I'm hoping against hope that i'll get my approval soon because we'd wanted to be married in a civil service at the end of May.... Then i'd b filing soon after. I have fingers, toes and anything else I can manage...crossed!

Claim it and believe that it has already come true, never allow the seed of doubt to seep in and what you desire most will surely come true.

You will have it in time Saffyre.... very very soon.

Gosh, I wish I had even an ounce of your positivity!!!

I'll try and send you some of my positivity too - there; I'm concentrating very hard! I'm sure you'll be approved soon, Saffyre - hopefully before the end of March!

We want CSC to get cranking for you too ... I'll be hanging around here to cheer you folks on. Here we sit frustrated with weeks of waiting, knowing you likely have to endure months. My fingers are crossed for all of us ... but I know that we will all get them when we are supposed to.

Of course .... I might just scream, jump up & down and who knows what else if I get mine before the end of March .... Stephen will get to see me be like a little kid at the candy store

It's the waiting, waiting for that moment when you know everything is so much closer to beginning ... where you can be in the same place, and just be There's a song "Just Be" by DJ Tiesto (never heard it before Stephen) but it's an absolutely amazing track ... and it's all about just being ... which we are all hoping & waiting for ... and we will all get to that point ........... soon!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous Wednesday!

Thank you, Amanda.

Wednesday is moving along nicely - can't wait for the five-day weekend (our company always has the Tuesday after a bank holiday Monday off).

My feelings on the whole visa process come in waves. Sometimes I'm very calm and feel certain that I can wait months and that perhaps it's best to delay things as long as possible so that we may have more money saved up. Sometimes I am very panicked - is this really happening? How on earth am I going to find time to sell my belongings, pack, sort out what I am going to need immediately and what can be put into storage, gain my driver's license (haven't even booked lessons!), organise a wedding, get all of my vaccinations and attend an interview? It feels like I will never manage to actually leave - although of course in a year's time I expect I shall look back on this post and laugh. Finally, sometimes I am really anxious - can't wait to be married, don't want to be apart - of course I am always missing Alex, but at some times it is easier to cope with than at others.

Still, no matter what mood I am in VJ is here - and all of you guys are seriously great.

Wow this board has been active the past 24 hours. I have enjoyed reading all of the posts. DBEARS...congrats! You deserve it, especially after all the cheerleading you have done for the rest of us. Surely an October wedding is in sight now! After we received NOA2 I breathed a deep sigh of relief because I took the risk of planning our wedding and making arrangements without approval in hand. While we aren't quite completely done with the immigration process yet, at least the end is in sight and we still have over 7 months till the wedding.

Aidan and I are still waiting on packet 3, but I imagine we will be one of the "early bird" interviews as we will have all info ready very soon (except I need to get around to filing my 2007 return...I owe this year so I'm waiting and borrowing against the government this time). I suppose I could make a copy of my return for his interview and just wait and file on the 15th. I have requested my IRS transcripts for the other years since that to me is easier.

I hope DBEARS is the first of many CSC approvals for this group!

I feel almost the same! Sometimes very calm, feeling that even if it takes long, everything's fine, we're used to it. and then, I'm never going to have enough time to do everything I have to do before I leave!

Anyway, it's nice to see all your approvals, guys.

Thank you very much smashrox

I wish I am indeed a CSC january filer who got approved, at least it would have meant all the other january CSC filers are in line already.... but as it is, I am a VSC filer, it's probably not very obvious because I didn't get a superfast record breaking approval but I still feel very very lucky to get approved in less than two months..... but it still breaks my heart to see fellow January VSC filers and those who filed months before me still waiting to be approved and all the CSC filers still waiting a few more weeks to a few months longer.

OH CRAP!!! How did I miss that? I must have been blinded by that which is obvious. OK...let's try this again...CSC filers I am still pulling for you.

On another note, Aidan received packet 3 today so things seem to be moving quick in Ireland.

Hopefully, the interview will be as quick!!! We're still waiting for ours...

Here's wishing a everybody a very good HOLY WEEK.

Our case was recieved at NVC yesterday, moving along at a nice pace, lol.

Wahoo no work tomorrow!!!

Does anyone have any plans for Easter?

I'm going to visit my family. 4 days with my parents. It's like having mini vacation

Hello everyone and congratulations on all the great news on the board!

How are the packet 3s sent? I e-mailed Barbados (who are very helpful, knock on wood) and they advised they sent Louis the Packet 3 on the 14th. It is going from Barbardos to St Lucia and you would think that would not take but a day and still nothing. I thought it went DHL but am I mistaken?
They may have sent by dolphin or something! LOL

It took about a week and a half for Darren to get packet 3...not sure how things work in the islands, though...

Hopefully it will get to him in the next few days...have you started to work on the forms needed yet? Darren and I did, and it was only a few days until we sent it back...

Yes I have all the paperwork in a nice neat and organized binder. I am not sending it to him though. It could cost me $100 and then it still could get lost. I am going to St Lucia on April 17th so I am bringing it with me. Also asking Barbados to schedule the interview during that time.

The Embassy told me they mailed to him on the 14th, I will be patient!

Happy Easter Everyone.

And you as well!

Tumbleweeds....see them going by...

Everybody's so quiet....

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!! May all your prayers be answered and may you feel the Lord´s presence near you... Not only on Easter but always...Have a blessed and Peaceful Easter!

Wow Dawn just noticed Darrens medical is the day you arrive, things are moving so quick for you.

I know...excited, but nervous. I thought everything would go much slower. But now we want all of this stuff behind us, hopefully by summertime (then we can spend some quality time together to make up for the time apart!)...

Yes we fiqured six months, time to pack up my house and get everything ready but thats all gonna change i expect.

I figure that as soon as I get my NOA2, it shouldnt be more than 3 months until I leave the UK......

I am surprised at how fast things are going. We are not moving forward at the breakneck pace we were at earlier in the process. Aidan does not have his immunization records for the medical so we are waiting on that before we schedule that part. Not to mention I still need to gather all the financial info to send to him....

Happy Easter everyone. Hopefully this time next year we will be with our SOs for good!

Let's all hope so.

Wishing everyone a wonderful easter
