Called NVC for Status....Yes your petition was forwarded to Manila today. Your Fiance should hear from the embassy soon. Thx have a great day!!!

For the record NOA2 till NVC left 33 days

Sorry 36 days

Gomez, I remember when you got your NOA2 and I felt like it would be forever until I was approved. Well, I got my NOA2 and my case has already arrived at the consulate in New Delhi. They sure kept you waiting....but it all works out in the end.

Good luck the rest of the way!

Hey Gomez,

Congrats. I am still right behind you. Don't know what they are waiting for at NVC, Congratulations to you once again.

Mike.

Congrats Gomez, I am glad you are finally on your way, I am still there waiting, geezz wish they would hurry up whatever it is they are doing, Many Best Wishes to you though

congrats gomez! see you in manila! hihihi

congrats. hope you get an early interview. mine somewhere between CSC and NVC. called NVC today and no record of it yet.

Just goes to show... even the NVC is inconsistent...

My petition was received by the NVC on Friday, 8/4 and was sent to Frankfurt on Monday, 8/7. Only the weekend in between

Best wishes for this next stage... may it proceed QUICKLY so you can be together soon....

Jen

About time!! Congrats!!!

Awesome news Gomez,

I am still waiting for my NOA2 and I only filed a couple weeks after you!!! But our I-130 is already approved, so go figure!

I am also bound for the Philippines, to pick up my brown eyed Baby as soon as our petition gets approved and we get an interview.

We are hoping to be together here in the US by Christmas...

It is great to see many who are waiting to be united with their spouse in the Philippines, hope to see some of you there when I go with my wife to the interview.

Hey does anyone know about the semminar that is required for your wife in order to get permission to leave the Phil after she gets her visa? I just heard about it, but dont understand what it is

Rob

hi rob. it is called the CFO seminar... she actually can attend it right now if she already has her passport. she needs to attend it before she leaves for the US. after she gets her visa from the US embassy, you guys need to go back there and get it "stamped" that she has attended the seminar. its a pre-req in the philippines but they wont stamp it until you get your visa. or you guys can wait it out, attend the seminar and get stamped altogether in one day. Let me know if you need the address of it. cheers!

here is the info. i dug it up somewhere before.

SMEF-COW (for CFO guidance/counseling seminar):
Good Sheperd Convent
1043 Aurora Blvd,
Quezon City
MANILA
(LRT line 2: it's next to KATIPUNAN station, exit to the north of the station and when you come out on the street facing PSBA college turn to the right, you'll see the sign for the St. Mary's (first green gate), infos on LRT is here: http://www.lrta.gov.ph/passenger_info.htm )
Phone: (63 2) 913-6439 or 911-1814
FAX: (63 2) 913-6438

Remember that you need 2 valid I.D. with photos in Manila.

Important point: its is indicated in the CFO site that you have to pay P250 fee for the CFO Seminar and again P250 fee for the CFO Stamp. there are two batches being held everyday from what i know of. one in the morning and one after lunch. just be there at around 7 to be able to ensure a spot in the first batch otherwise you will have to come back after lunch for the second batch.

i hope this helps
