Just a reminder, please . . . you can only use your native language in your Regional Forums. When you are posting in a forum other than your regional forum you need to write in English.

Welcome to America. Your next steps will include applying for a Social Security Number in about 10 days or so (your file needs to be updated in immigration files before SSA can issue a SSN); getting married and filing to Adjust Your Status (AOS) with form I-485, and applying for Employment Authorization (EAD) and Advance Parole (AP) at the same time. You can read about those in this forum: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showforum=7 . The Guides at the top of the forum will be very useful to you and your husband so read them carefully and follow their directions.

Good luck.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

That's a really stupid rule. I know it's in the TOS. I think the TOS should be changed. A few words of Tagalog or any other language are not a big deal. What's the harm here?

I think that every time I see an organizer or mod post one of these reminders about English outside the Regional Forums, I'll reply with my view that it's a stupid rule.

To the OP: Congrats, and welcome to the USA! :thumbs:

Because it gets out of hand in a BIG hurry, and readers who are unfamiliar with the language become frustrated, si man (whoops!).

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
