I am new to this site so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong forum. My elderly Aunt, from the Philippines, married an American citizen two years ago and they were both living here in the States. He unfortunately passed away 2 months ago. They had completed the Green Card process but she has not received it yet. She is being told that she cannot receive his benefits until she receives the Green Card. Is this true?

You'll want to post that question in its own thread - likely in this forum:

Hello all - n00b here.

I am curious about this; I notice many of you got your Noa1 and 2'd very fast, like weeks after filing the I-129f. I filed mine on July 19 and just received my "notice of delivery receipt" dated July 30. How did you all get so lucky?

Well, it's been a long, anxious road(we filed the I-129F on 4/25/07) but Yumi received her visa in the mail Oct. 17, 2007 ! :thumbs: She has to give her company a 30 days notice (collect the $8K seperation pay), fly over to see her family for the last time while in Japan and, hopefully, arrive in Seattle by Dec.15th, 2007. :D

She told me that the US Embassy in Tokyo was super nice to her. She arrived at 7:30a.m. and was about 2nd or 3rd in line. She went in before 8a.m. and the workers reviewed her paperwork. She then went into the interview room with a US Immigration Officer. He told her she had "every paper known to us and they're all correct". He teased her and said "you're really moving from a city of 25 million to a city of 3,000?" he wished her luck, said she could call if she had any questions, and told her she'd get her visa in 7 to 10 days in the mail; it came two days later !

Lots of people on here told me it'd take about 6 months from filing to approval but I was really hopeful that we'd get it sooner. Turns out that it took 173 days; guess we got it a week early.

Thank God the visa has been approved and we can finally be together and start the long process for the AOS ! I wish all the rest of y'all " God's Speed".
