Timeline

After only 4 months from NOA1 (Jan 7) the NOA2 was issued (May 7) from CSC, and things began to move so fast that we were really encouraged. We called and got a June 17 interview and soon realized we would not be ready for that date. So we rescheduled and the interview was done June 24.

I made the flight tickets for July 11, thinking that after the interview, the only further delay would be Delbros delivery to the Province of Negros Occ.

Two days after the interview, the Manila Embassy submitted the case to NSO for Document Verification (DV). Since the NSO returns the whole week's batch on Friday, it is necessary to call on Monday (if you can get thru) to get the status. On July 21 (27 days after the interview) I got thru and was told that DV was completed. Next step was "couple of days to a few weeks" for Consular Officer to execute the K1 Visa.

Now there is a new delay. On July 31, ten days after learning that the DV was complete, I learned that a document has now been declared unsatisfactory, and was "returned to the Philippine government". Details about the offending document are unavailable to me. There is nothing for me to do but wait.

I have been separated from Ten, my beloved fiance', for ONE FULL YEAR now ... and counting.

I believe it is a problem with one of the documents already returned by NSO. Embassy has returned the document to NSO I think. But they won't share the details with me. So I just wait until they are happy.

Meanwhile I am making my home even more ready for my new family.

Thanks to all for the concern and sympathy.
