Any CSC Jan 08 filers get NOA2's yet???

[dbears 1]

shes and gabriela, i hope you would also drop by the Philippine regional forum. click HERE reading the post there will give you ideas for the next steps after NOA2... You'll soon be getting your NOA2 and it is not too early to prepare for it now... we were approved march 18... by march 28 our papers was already at the embassy. when we called last tuesday, we were given the option to have the interview as early as april 9... grabe, KALOKA! next week na kaya yon, we haven't prepared anything yet. So decline and lola nyo and chose May 23 instead.

You're both within metro manila, no need to book for flights etc. that is actually an advantage if they suddenly give you interview date just one week after you make the call. So i hope you guys will not repeat the same mistake we did, waiting for NOA2 and interview sched to prepare. Of course there are documents that should be prepared as close to interview as possible but most papers are valid for a year. I suggest you prepare those so you'd be ready whatever date they give you.

Good luck everyone.

dbears, the platter is sooh cute! i also saw your other stuff in the other website. they're all beautiful. i love the invitation in the bottle. i think deciding to have the k-1 instead of the k-3 is really good for your situation. but i still pray that you can give the philippine wedding that your mom dreams for you...

hey i hope everybody will be able to get married on your planned dates. dbears on august 8, sunnybear on sept 27, and those who want a memorial day wedding.. let's pray that everybody's dream wedding will come true.

Thank you gabriela. My mama only dreams of seeing one of her daughters wear wedding gown so I will surely give it to her someday soon... I am only praying that my papa will still be alive when that time comes.

Ooh yes I sure hope we are all cleared by memorial day too that would rock!!! I think my mans name is unique at least to this area.....

With all the shame...when is the memorial day?

Make that two.. i have been hearing of people wanting to get married on memorial day and i don't know when memorial day will be

BryantAliona, i'm really really rooting for your approval! USCIS has messed up your file and well, you can still be considered a January filer right coz you sent your 2nd I-129F on the very last hours of December 31st... but wait, you are also an October filer and a December filer. Well, whatever, I will be very very happy to CHEER for you when you finally get your approval!

Thank you!

I erased from my memory the first two set-backs,and i'm trying to be as patient as possible.

Good luck to you as well.

Well, unfortunately there most likely will not be any January CSC filer weddings by memorial day (end of May). We should be able to get most of the January CSC filers approved by this time. Most of us will be looking at July/August weddings. I would love for CSC to prove me wrong.

My fiance and i were planning the wedding to be in july or august, and as long as it's not later, we're fine.

But i wouldn't mind to get this over sooner

You will make your papa happy eitherway, but God is allmighty, let's just pray...

LOL yeah I tried on the real one at local wedding boutique and cost close to 500 american dollars which is not a lot really for Americans to spend as my sister spent well over 2,000 but umm yeah a little out of the price range I wanted to spend! Soooo found a knockoff website located in China sent my measurements and had lots of faith and in return got a beautiful knock off of this gown for only 145 american dollars! My daughters was only 45 soo both dresses for under 200 american dollars!!!!!

Here is what my dress mostly looks like.....and I got a little white satin coat to wear over top to hide tattooed arms from the grandparents in some of the pics LOL

Wow sunnybear - that dress is stunning. Ahhhh, could you send me the website you went to? Olga and I have been talking about gowns and what she's looking for. Somthing on the shoulder rather than off the shoulder, but her range of options has not extended beyond the borders of the Ukraine. In her area they don't have bridal boutiques as we know them, rather they are more like agencies. They will make a dress, sell a dress, but they also rent bridal dresses - remember that many people have very limited resources there and don't have money to buy a gown.

I LOVE the dress, sunnybear, it's amazing! And I was thinking of wearing a jacket exactly like that! Although it wouldn't be to hide tattoos but to hide my arms in general - they're definitely the worst part of my body. Like Blake I'd be interested in knowing where you bought it from.

the "bolero" (jacket) longsleeves is like a modern touch in bridal gowns now a days..also, i noticed on american bridal mags, sash are in...il dig on the Alfred Angelo styles of gown..theyre simply elegant. just the way i want it.

beautiful gown sunnybear!!!

[sunnybear 0]

Aww thanks so much! PeriDress is the site I ordered from....but it is not the dresses pictured on the site! It is knockoffs! Soooo it is not going to be exactly like the one shown but ####### at a fraction of the price I think it was well worth it!!! Let me know if you would like more info!
