Question for those who have interviewed already...

Recommended Posts

Naturally, at the NVC stage an I-864 was submitted and accepted before the visa interview. Now, the embassy it appears wants an I-864 at the interview in Manila.

Am I supposed to prepare and send a new I-864 to my spouse? (I have also changed address and job. The NVC acknowledge my change of address.)

OR

Send a copy of the original I-864 I prepared months and months ago?

I intend to send the 2009 W2 and 1040 also... (The original I-864 was for the 2008 tax period.)

One more thing. Am I supposed to send a notarized letter of employment and wages? The Manila embassy instructions talk about sending the I-864 and then throws in this part about employment letter...

If any of you have interviewed I deeply appreciate your input...

If you are the petitioner what is the safest venue to send overnight documents to PI? Specifically four hours north of Manila in Pangasinan.... DHL? Federal Express? USPS?

Thank you! I appreciate yor help!

One more thing. Am I supposed to send a notarized letter of employment and wages? The Manila embassy instructions talk about sending the I-864 and then throws in this part about employment letter...

- employment letter using employer's letter head, wages could be on white sheet only, both not notorized when my petitioner sent those paper last 2008 unless there is changes in 2009/2010

If any of you have interviewed I deeply appreciate your input...

If you are the petitioner what is the safest venue to send overnight documents to PI? Specifically four hours north of Manila in Pangasinan.... DHL? Federal Express? USPS? - Fedex coz we were time constraint then though a little bit expensive but it arrived on time

Thank you! I appreciate yor help!

Hi,

Am the beneficiary,just finished my interview last MArch 3. Send it to your wife just in case the CO will ask that from your wife,some of them they will ask. In my case,we prepared that cuz it is stated in the appointment letter.

" If we could live life all over again,we would still choose each other.If we are reborn to second life, we would marry each other again,we are persons with one heart,one soul,the same dreams and aspiration."

I don't think there is any "overnight" service to the Philippines. I always sent our documents via Fed Ex three-day express. The packages always arrived on the third day no matter if my wife was in Manila or in Bacolod, Negros Occidental.

Do not send anything via USPS.

In my case, I was not asked about I-864 but I had copies (all our documents) on hand just incase they wanted it. Everything you submitted in USCIS and NVC will be in the CO's hands.

I'm the wife of an American Soldier;

I'm the hope that lives within him after storm clouded days.

The freedom from war that gives wings to his heart,

May they reach across the miles and bind our hearts together

against all that we must face in this world.
