WHHOOOOPPIII We were approved for our visa during interview today. We had 7:30 am interview, we were there at 6:45, back at the hotel at 11 am.
Thank you so much everyone especially PW and Sheriff Uling. We took Sheriff's map to interview, it helped a lot althought things have changed a little since the orginial post was done. I will let you know later what they are.
The CO was a middle aged white guy, he asked us to sit down, swore us to tell the truth. Asked Gra how we met, when did I come to see her, then made the comment that I must really mean this to make 3 trips in 9 months. haha of course I told him I could not stay away from her. He looked at the photos, made comment, "nice rock", we just smiled. The the photos of the engagement, he was impressed said "you are romantic". Gra had done a great job with the folders, even putting stickers on the pics, like "faces of love", etc. He said it was very well done, and that it made his job easier. He said he enjoyed looking at the pics. hahaha Then he said, "You are approved, this looks great, do you have any questions?" We asked for an embassy pickup and he said "no problem". Waited to be called again and that was that. now the celebration.

What to bring:
14. When was the last time you had sexual contact? How was it?
p.s. - The "How was it?" follow-up question in #14 is a joke... Hahahaha!!! But they do ask when was your last sexual contact.

I was like
huh...hehe, i could have asked you if it was serious or a joke. I scrolled down more and saw your posts script that it was a joke. 
You should have asked, "with someone else or by myself?" hahahaha

Hello! guys,
This is a concern of my friend who happens to be a member here and I'm raising this in behalf of her coz she's kinda shy to post or ask.
She has a daughter when she married her man.
My question is..
Is it necessary for her and her kid to have a separate affidavit of support form and a co-sponsor(husband's mom) from her husband as a benificiary?
She is bothered by this and I hope you can share your expertise towards this matter.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi PW....just want to ask if my own ITR and other proof of documents here in the Phils. are needed for my interview.Or is it just my bf's Affidavit of Support and other supporting documents about his income that we should prepare?Thanks a lot in advance.You've been a great help to everyone here esp. to a newbie like me........
Mafiaprincess...
The petitioner (your fiance and not bf... I'm sure that you don't address him that way or at least I hope so
) completes the I-134 Affidavit of Support and provides the appropriate back-up documentation for you to submit during your visa interview. Cheers!!!

p.s. - What did your question have to do with PW feeling like she was a virgin touched for the very first time? Hahahahaha....

thank you for your answer
.I posted that question to PW coz it's my first attempt in posting a message here and that's the nearest message of PW i could find....besides.....seems appropriate in way, right? . I noticed that you and PW are the most helpful members here with your insights....thanks a lot again....

Sheriff, mafiaprincess thinks I'm a virgin so let her be
<ay grabe, the emoticons are having violent reactions!!!> Mafiaprincess, I have to bow to what the Sheriff said. Only your fiance's ITR/W2 and I-134 matter to the embassy. And this is very important, always address your fiance as "my fiance" not "my bf" especially during your interview.
By the way Sheriff, the consul has trick questions when interviewing so you may want to include that in your tips. The consul knew that Doug worked for one of the Big 3s in MI yet this was how part of my interview went:
CO: What does your fiance do?
Me: He is a systems analyst
CO: Systems analyst for a small company?
Me: Nope, he works for xxxx
Another trick question. He shows me a photo of me and Doug together and he goes
CO: Is he your husband? <pointing to Doug>
Me: No, that is my fiance. <now, if one secretly wed her fiance, one would probably trip up and say yes, that's my husband>
CO: He is not the father of your son?
Me: <I had to smile and say...> No
And then we talked about scuba diving and stuff. I got to ask the CO some questions too, hehe
PW......thank you for answering my question......hope my "fiance" is not reading this or else I'm in for a long explanation
....i've read that among the documents that i should bring are the Western Union receipts or remittance receipts....as i'm employed, i didn't let my "fiance" support me so i have no remittance receipts to show.will it affect my chance of getting the visa?....thanks again sa pangugulit......QUOTE(Alanlvsjudy @ Apr 22 2007, 07:08 PM)

For K visa, if the child is derivative, only one I-134 is required for both principal beneficiary and derivative. I am not sure, however, if same is true for CR-1 and I-864. Let me research that first and I will get back to you if not tonight then tomorrow night.
Updating list to congratulate supra, san francisco, dean/gra, vsmtqhdy. ElMasGuapo, please let us know developments in your fiancee's case. If there is something we can help you with, please do not hesitate to let us know.

This is a concern of my friend who happens to be a member here and I'm raising this in behalf of her coz she's kinda shy to post or ask.
She has a daughter when she married her man. My question is. Is it necessary for her and her kid to have a separate affidavit of support form and a co-sponsor(husband's mom) from her husband as a benificiary?

According to the USCIS website, “accompanying spouses and children also need to submit Form I-864. Each spouse or child must submit a photocopy of the principal’s I-864 but they do not need to submit a photocopy of the supporting documentation." http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/AffSuppAFM062706.pdf
This means that your friend will submit an original I-864 together with supporting documentation like ITR and W2 while her child will only need to submit a photocopy of the I-864 without the ITR and W2.
If the principal's income is not sufficient, then your friend will also need to submit original I-864 of joint sponsor together with his/her ITR and W2 and her child will need to submit photocopy of joint sponsor's I-864. Note that the joint sponsor's I-864 can only be an addition to the principal's I-864. Principal sponsor must always submit I-864 even if his income is not sufficient.
It's almost midnight and I am tired. I don't think I am making much sense. If there is something you don't understand with what I wrote above please let me know.

i've read that among the documents that i should bring are the Western Union receipts or remittance receipts....as i'm employed, i didn't let my "fiance" support me so i have no remittance receipts to show.will it affect my chance of getting the visa?....thanks again sa pangugulit......
If your fiance is not supporting you, then it is alright if you don't have remittance receipts. The consul will admire you for being financially independent.
RETRACTED POST - Nothing to see here...
Philip is finally heeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee! ARRIVED in one piece at JFK at about 7 am est. No probs at POE SFO, the immigration officer just wanted to know how we met. thanks again to all my VJ friends!

Glad you call them ...they're pretty reasoble plus you talk to a live person and of course you can visit their local offices. You can compare their quote fare prices to the online prices like cheaptix, travelocity, etc. before you buy. By the way...tell us about that VONAGE $25/month for unlimited international calls...is that true? Never heard of it .

I got that vonage idea from Kuya Gary and Ate Luz from 1 of their posts. Its like this if you have a DSL/broadband connection at home its gonna work, there's a router that youll have to plug into your pc connection and with a cordless phone you can talk to your loved ones in the US till you want. On my case I have the Sacramento area code and I call Byron on his landphone and cellphone and vice versa whenever we want for $25 a month, thats all. Its really great no more $1500 monthly bills for us
Byron ordered the router, sent it here, I set it up and got myself cordless phones and I'll leave it here so I can talk to my family whenever I want for $25 a month when we moved in the US . You can check this site www.vonage.com for additional detailsThanks for the reminder Meadeguy! You can talk to your fiance/fiancee about it and let me know if your interested so I can do the refer a friend on my account and you can use the vonage for a month free and 2 months for myself.
Yep Been doing this since I met my girl. Works excelent. We talk for hours and hours and some more hours. The only thing that you might have to configure is the PPP authentication to the DSL. If she has to dial into her DSL then she will configure the router to do it. After that its plug and play. Let me know if you want to know more or have any questions.
Take Care.

Well, our visa journey is complete, but our amazing adventure will continue into infinity. Looking back, time seemed to stand still, but when all is said and done, and when you are finally reunited with your soulmate, all of the pain evaporates, it becomes a distant memory, and quickly fades. We rejoice each day now, waking up every morning together, celebrating, embracing, savoring the moment, nothing taken for granted...and almost every day I'm finding that I arrive at the office just a wee bit late...hehehe...
So, our signature has the details of our journey, start to finish. I've just added the last little bit of pertinent dope, if anyone is interested. My sweetie's Social Security card arrived in the mailbox on April 14, less than 2 weeks after her entry date. Today she received her green card in the mail, less than 3 weeks after entry. And, wow, tomorrow is the first anniversary of our glorious wedding!!! She's here in America to celebrate!!! So, at roughly 6:30 am EDT we celebrate the exact moment of our union.
God bless all who have completed their journey, are still on the bumpy road or standing at the starting line.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for everyone who wished me good luck and for the valuable infos i got from VJ people. Thank you all. We are APPROVED!! But i wouldn't say it was easy, the surprise and tension were the hardest when your number is called but when both started the interview proper it was a lot easier. And I would say we got so lucky. And I thank God for that, he always lets me know he's guiding me and us.
The pre-screener who was a Filipino was super nice I was so at ease glad my papers fall on his hands (also to the Consul who interviewed me), he asked a lot of questions pretty basic and we were laughing because he said i memorized everything and he asked what did i feed my fiance cause he keep coming back almost every month. The consul was nice too, asked a lot of question too, he didn't grant me to pick up the visa but he said it will be probably be delivered by Friday. Neither of them ask for Mike's Notarized 1-134, W2, 1040, Bank statements, even the CENOMAR. It puzzled me. But what's important is he said I'm all set and I am approved!
Out by 10:30.
Good Luck to those who are having interview this week and May Batch. You can do it.
God Bless

It actually felt like i was going to pass out, i could feel my nerves getting numb, my body felt like getting stiff, and i was wondering if i could make it 'til my number flash on the queueing board before the pre-screening interview, my mind wasn't really nervous but my body was shaking involuntarily, just couldn't help it. Then the Filipino pre-screener was so nice i totally lost my nervousness we started laughing when he asked me questions. When my number flashed for preliminary interview i was in the ladies' room, a friend whom i met there went in to inform me and again i was in the ladies' room when my number flashed for the CO so thanks to Sharon she was so nice to call me both times. I guess because i didn't know what i wanted to do, i kept drinking water from the fountain there but i wasn't thirsty, and kept coming back to the ladies' room and washed my hands. All I wanted was to get it over with and go home with approval of course. And wished my Fiance was with me i would have felt much better just holding his hands and know that he's just beside me. Then when i entered the cubicle the consul greeted me "Good Morning" and i replied, " Good afternoon, Sir" but he wasn't listening, good thing. Thought he was wrong and I checked my watch it read 9:45, oh its still morning yeah. Made me think he was nice and felt comfortable. Then started asking me questions i answered him promptly the whole time with smile and looking him straight in the eye, with full confidence this time.
If not because of my love for my baby, i wouldn't have made it. I would just have gone home and find a job, hehe.
With all the pressures and sleepless nights, glad its over now. I guess with all these hardship and anticipation of the unknown and anxieties, just do your best and lift the rest to God. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
Good luck and try to relax, i know its hard but as long as you are positive that your papers have no problems, then you have nothing to worry about. Unlike me i had so many reasonable anxieties and pressures but just got so lucky and maybe it was really meant to happen. Thanks God. Nothing to worry about really, i think i was just so anxious to get approved and thats the only option i gave myself.
Thanks Ate Cora, i got a valuable advise from you, "Never offer or answer anything that is not asked." True enough.
My visa has not been delivered up to this time. Delbros can't seem to locate my home address. I even gave them my office address and still nothing. If they don't deliver by tomorrow then I guess, I will pick it up. Grrr, I will demand a refund!
Yay Jello! We can sense your happiness! And Michael and Milahjean, glad to note that the rest of the journey was smooth with the SSS card and greencard arriving promptly.
Updating list to congratulate Mike Marivic on visa approval. Good luck tomorrow CocoPuff!

how did you guys manage to not pass out in front of the CO?!
It actually felt like i was going to pass out, i could feel my nerves getting numb, my body felt like getting stiff, and i was wondering if i could make it 'til my number flash on the queueing board before the pre-screening interview, my mind wasn't really nervous but my body was shaking involuntarily, just couldn't help it. Then the Filipino pre-screener was so nice i totally lost my nervousness we started laughing when he asked me questions. When my number flashed for preliminary interview i was in the ladies' room, a friend whom i met there went in to inform me and again i was in the ladies' room when my number flashed for the CO so thanks to Sharon she was so nice to call me both times. I guess because i didn't know what i wanted to do, i kept drinking water from the fountain there but i wasn't thirsty, and kept coming back to the ladies' room and washed my hands. All I wanted was to get it over with and go home with approval of course. And wished my Fiance was with me i would have felt much better just holding his hands and know that he's just beside me. Then when i entered the cubicle the consul greeted me "Good Morning" and i replied, " Good afternoon, Sir" but he wasn't listening, good thing. Thought he was wrong and I checked my watch it read 9:45, oh its still morning yeah. Made me think he was nice and felt comfortable. Then started asking me questions i answered him promptly the whole time with smile and looking him straight in the eye, with full confidence this time.
If not because of my love for my baby, i wouldn't have made it. I would just have gone home and find a job, hehe.
With all the pressures and sleepless nights, glad its over now. I guess with all these hardship and anticipation of the unknown and anxieties, just do your best and lift the rest to God. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
Good luck and try to relax, i know its hard but as long as you are positive that your papers have no problems, then you have nothing to worry about. Unlike me i had so many reasonable anxieties and pressures but just got so lucky and maybe it was really meant to happen. Thanks God. Nothing to worry about really, i think i was just so anxious to get approved and thats the only option i gave myself.
Thanks Ate Cora, i got a valuable advise from you, "Never offer or answer anything that is not asked." True enough.
Marivic sistah congrats! You made it!
Congrats

Hi everyone,
Thanks for everyone who wished me good luck and for the valuable infos i got from VJ people. Thank you all. We are APPROVED!! But i wouldn't say it was easy, the surprise and tension were the hardest when your number is called but when both started the interview proper it was a lot easier. And I would say we got so lucky. And I thank God for that, he always lets me know he's guiding me and us.
The pre-screener who was a Filipino was super nice I was so at ease glad my papers fall on his hands (also to the Consul who interviewed me), he asked a lot of questions pretty basic and we were laughing because he said i memorized everything and he asked what did i feed my fiance cause he keep coming back almost every month. The consul was nice too, asked a lot of question too, he didn't grant me to pick up the visa but he said it will be probably be delivered by Friday. Neither of them ask for Mike's Notarized 1-134, W2, 1040, Bank statements, even the CENOMAR. It puzzled me. But what's important is he said I'm all set and I am approved!
Out by 10:30.
Good Luck to those who are having interview this week and May Batch. You can do it.
God Bless

My visa has not been delivered up to this time. Delbros can't seem to locate my home address. I even gave them my office address and still nothing. If they don't deliver by tomorrow then I guess, I will pick it up. Grrr, I will demand a refund!
Where do you live PW? It can't be that difficult to find an address in Makati City, its the financial capital of Manila after-all. Delbros found my girl's apartment in Palanan in less then a day after visa release.
It's now 2:31am Manila time April 25th. best of luck to CocoPuff with their interview.
Hello all my Manila Thread VJ family, 
Its been a blessed 2 weeks since Robin and I got here in Peoria Illinois.Our flight from Manila to Minneapolis was plesant . We checked in at NAIA at 4:30 am for an 8:00 flight.We get in line for the NorthwestAirlines and the lady ask what kind of visa I have and Robin. She ask if I have my x-ray with me and she look at it.. (good thing is its part of my carry-on ),the lady beside her say a lot of '' K-I today''and I saw her ask for the x-ray to the other girl also! poor girl dont have her x-ray with her and have to dig her luggage right there. We just pay for terminal fee only which is 750.00 each fro me and Robin. I still have my travel tax money on my hand but nobody ask for us to pay it..some filipino crew ask the left-over cash for the jollibee snack...just can't give it away for the unexpected charges on the way. Gary didn't have to pay the travel tax himself when he purchase the plane ticket...hmmm..maybe they have pity on us coz Gary been back and forth and give us a discount.(hey I save 3,500 pesos right there wow!)
We reach our POE,the immigration CO asked for the brown envelope,scanned our fingers, take our pics, stamp our passport and staple the 1-94 forms into our passport. He reminded me that I have 90 days to get married and told me when my Visa expired...he told me in a joking way that my fiance should marry me soon before I change my mind(?)..kidding me???..no way I change my mind!!! Are you crazy? Ive been waiting for this for 3 years now!!! Of course I just tell that to myself
We had our Court wedding yesterday April 23..We are officially husband and wife!! We beat the odds together and here we are legally Mr and Mrs C!! Here guys/gals.let me share our happiness and joy yesterday. Thank you all!
Our Wedding slideshow
Gary took me to his Corporate office to sign Robin and myself up for his medical insurance.We apply for our SSN also..the lady there said I can have my SSN in 2 weeks..but she said that Robin cannot have his SSN till our AOS is done..what's up with that?Is somebody out there experience all this? Is it the way it goes?I hope someone here can help me out and clear some things for me?Thanks!
So far we have a great time here!! Spring is here and oh my goodness I LOVE ALL THOSE FLOWERS AND TREES!!!
We are been so blessed to have each other. I thank God for all this blessing! Our life together has just begun!
Wish all of you Manila VJ friends all the luck and the very best of everything!
Thank you all,
Luz

We apply for our SSN also..the lady there said I can have my SSN in 2 weeks..but she said that Robin cannot have his SSN till our AOS is done..what's up with that?Is somebody out there experience all this? Is it the way it goes?I hope someone here can help me out and clear some things for me?Thanks!
that's true about Robin's SSN. Yazi's daughter Effie will also have to wait till after AOS to apply for SSN. a K-2 cannot apply for SSN untill has green card or EAD.
Congrats on your wedding day. nice photos!
our wedding was on April 21st. Yazi put photos in her friendster.

Hi Guys,
I have one question....
Is there an expiration period for the visa? I mean, if every I get approved in May 22 and get the visa a week after, do I need to go to US right away or should there be 3 months or 6 months allowance?
In case I get approved in may 22, i will only leave by mid Sept since I need to get all my bonus from my company till august...
Will there be a problem with this?
thanks for your advice.

you will be fine leaving Sept 22. you will have six months from the date your visa is issued to enter the USA. then you have 90 days to get married.

Hello all my Manila Thread VJ family,
Its been a blessed 2 weeks since Robin and I got here in Peoria Illinois.Our flight from Manila to Minneapolis was plesant . We checked in at NAIA at 4:30 am for an 8:00 flight.We get in line for the NorthwestAirlines and the lady ask what kind of visa I have and Robin. She ask if I have my x-ray with me and she look at it.. (good thing is its part of my carry-on ),the lady beside her say a lot of '' K-I today''and I saw her ask for the x-ray to the other girl also! poor girl dont have her x-ray with her and have to dig her luggage right there. We just pay for terminal fee only which is 750.00 each fro me and Robin. I still have my travel tax money on my hand but nobody ask for us to pay it..some filipino crew ask the left-over cash for the jollibee snack...just can't give it away for the unexpected charges on the way. Gary didn't have to pay the travel tax himself when he purchase the plane ticket...hmmm..maybe they have pity on us coz Gary been back and forth and give us a discount.(hey I save 3,500 pesos right there wow!)
We reach our POE,the immigration CO asked for the brown envelope,scanned our fingers, take our pics, stamp our passport and staple the 1-94 forms into our passport. He reminded me that I have 90 days to get married and told me when my Visa expired...he told me in a joking way that my fiance should marry me soon before I change my mind(?)..kidding me???..no way I change my mind!!! Are you crazy? Ive been waiting for this for 3 years now!!! Of course I just tell that to myself
We had our Court wedding yesterday April 23..We are officially husband and wife!! We beat the odds together and here we are legally Mr and Mrs C!! Here guys/gals.let me share our happiness and joy yesterday. Thank you all!
Luz

WE GOT APPROVED!!!
Yehey!Congratulations!!!
time to pack your things now... have a safe trip and welcome to America hehe
Congratulations to those who got approved!
I might have the opportunity to travel to the PI in time for either Mae's interview or her travel to the US (not both, though). Does anyone have an opinion what would be more helpful to be there for the interview or accompany her back?
(I managed to get a frequent flyer for her that happened to be July 4th, I'm not sure if that has any significance but it reminded me of the movie Avalon, one of my favorites).
