Manila Embassy Interview

[davidjack 0]

Hello All I have a question as I am obsessing ove paperwork details. I believe we need to have a copy of the original I-129f (complete with all of our evidence) sent to USCIS. I have a lawyer who seems basically worthless. Anyways he sent me a copy of the paperwork. It has lots of copies that cant really be seen at all. I originally sent color copies of things like passport stamps and letter to my fiance.

Is this really important to bring a copy to the interview ? Should I just find the originals and make good copies of anything that is not readable ? i also refer to my fiance as my wife in some letters. Is this a no no ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

hi dave and flory, well i don;t think you'll be needing the original I-129F that you have submitted to the USCIS... what you need is just the copy of it and all other copies of evidences you have submitted to them... just in case they ask of it... but in my case, they did not. Try to ask your lawyer if you can have the original copies of all communications he got from the USCIS/NVC... and once you have them, you can send them to your fiancee so she can be prepared with every single docs she might be needing for the interview. They don't ask for it at the Embassy, but jsut in case, you should be ready... when I had my interview last December 5, I had everything with me... copies of all pages of the passport of my hubby, docs from USCIS/NVC, eveidences of relationship includng photos, emails (man I prnted out 300 of them), money transfer receipts, letters, phone bills (your phone bills)... just bring anything that you think might be of help to extablish and prove that the relationship is genune. And no, i don;t think it's a no no f you refer to your fiancee as your wife in your letters or communicatins... it's just terms of endearment and the consul will undersntad that. hoping for the best for the both of you...

Ok while we are on the subject. Sheryl has a problem with her BC. Imagine that. Her name is spelled correctly. Her Dad's name was mispelled when she was born and the LR crossed through his name and hand corrected it. We have certified letters from the LR stating that this was done in good faith yada yada. She went to NSO in Cagayan De Oro. She asked for a correction. They said they would process it and to check back in about 2 weeks since they would send the request to NSO Manila. She checked back and was told that NSO saw no need to correct it since it was not her name that was mispelled and that the hand corrected copy is the official record with NSO. Furthermore we included a copy of her BC in the petition we sent to USCIS along with the certified letters from the LR. I'm guessing at this point we just go with the one she has and hope for the best. But I would really appreciate any ideas or suggestions.

i don't know if this will help head off any future AR's, but it cant hurt. any documents u get from nso u can then take to the authentication ofc @ malacanang palace where they will attach a authenticating document with seal and ribbon to ur nso copy authenticating it as true original. perhaps that cud b enuf 2 keep CO from putting cases n AR. m not sure, just an idea.

hello soulm8z0928... pls notify me when your wife will have her medical and interview date. please keep me update too id like to see the time frame from completion of case up to the schedule of medical and interview.. ..Thank you!

Hello All I have a question as I am obsessing ove paperwork details. I believe we need to have a copy of the original I-129f (complete with all of our evidence) sent to USCIS. I have a lawyer who seems basically worthless. Anyways he sent me a copy of the paperwork. It has lots of copies that cant really be seen at all. I originally sent color copies of things like passport stamps and letter to my fiance.

Is this really important to bring a copy to the interview ? Should I just find the originals and make good copies of anything that is not readable ? i also refer to my fiance as my wife in some letters. Is this a no no ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

hi dave and flory, well i don;t think you'll be needing the original I-129F that you have submitted to the USCIS... what you need is just the copy of it and all other copies of evidences you have submitted to them... just in case they ask of it... but in my case, they did not. Try to ask your lawyer if you can have the original copies of all communications he got from the USCIS/NVC... and once you have them, you can send them to your fiancee so she can be prepared with every single docs she might be needing for the interview. They don't ask for it at the Embassy, but jsut in case, you should be ready... when I had my interview last December 5, I had everything with me... copies of all pages of the passport of my hubby, docs from USCIS/NVC, eveidences of relationship includng photos, emails (man I prnted out 300 of them), money transfer receipts, letters, phone bills (your phone bills)... just bring anything that you think might be of help to extablish and prove that the relationship is genune. And no, i don;t think it's a no no f you refer to your fiancee as your wife in your letters or communicatins... it's just terms of endearment and the consul will undersntad that. hoping for the best for the both of you...

Thanks for your input.

I hope you get to the US real soon.

I just found out My fiance now has chicken pox

I hope this doesnt become an issue now ?

Nothings easy sometimes it seems

oh no, it won't be an issue... it's alright... let's just hope she gets well in time for her interview and medical examination... but if you still have doubts if this will be an issue, once she gets the appointment letter from teh embassy, you can call the clinic where she has to undergo such exam... just to be sure. thanks dave and flory, i really do hope i get the visa in my hands this week... and don't worry, you two will be fine. tell your fiancee get well...
