6:59 am November 21, 2024

Hello, The expiration date on our NOA2 is 26Dec2024. We are needing to conduct the medical and interview at the US embassy in Manila in late January 2025 so to give me the petitioner time to fly to Manila to be with my fianc due to her needing my help in navigation everything in Manila. She is unable to do it on her own. The case was updated to 'Ready' on 7Nov2024. Neither me nor my fianc have received any communication from NVC nor the US embassy in Manila. I submitted public inquiry to both NVC and the embassy inquiring about having not received any notification. The NVC just told me that they had sent the K1 petition to the US embassy and did not address not having sent me a FTP email notification. I sent the inquiery to the US Embassy in Manila about two weeks ago and finally received this response:

"Dear Mr. .....

We are writing in response to your November 8, 2024, inquiry to the Immigrant Visa Unit concerning the fianc e (K1) nonimmigrant visa case of Ms. ...........
An approved K1 nonimmigrant visa petition (I-129F) is valid for four months from the date of its approval by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Consular officers may revalidate the petition during the applicant s visa interview if eligibility requirements are met. Each revalidation is good for an additional four months. However, if the officer determines that there is insufficient evidence of continued intent to marry, the petition may be returned to the approving USCIS office.
If the petition is expired, the applicant is still able to proceed with an interview and the determination will be made at that time. The revalidation happens, when approved, at the time of interview and not in advance.
The applicant must now schedule an appointment at the Visa Application Center (VAC) for the fingerprints and photo requirements, and an interview appointment at the embassy through the Embassy s Customer Service Center. English and Filipino-speaking customer service agents are also available at telephone numbers (+632) 7792-8988 or (+632) 8548-8223. The call center is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Manila time), except on Philippine and U.S. holidays. Callers in the United States should call (703) 520-2235 on its Eastern Standard Time equivalent of operation hours.
Prior to their appointments, applicants must ensure that all details are correct in their visa application (Form DS-160). Including given name, surname, gender, passport number, and date of birth. The barcode number on the DS-160 confirmation page must match the number indicated in the applicant s appointment letter.
Applicants should follow all interview preparation instructions located on the State Department's website. The website identifies the required documents as well as procedures to follow prior to the interview date. Applicants must bring the original required documents to the interview.
If the applicant needs reasonable accommodation (PWDs) for the visa interview appointment, please follow the instructions on our website.
We hope this information is helpful."

At this time I have submitted the DS-160 and paid the visa fee on usatraveldocs. It sound like from the response from the embassy that I can go ahead and schedule the interview after the NOA2 expiration/validity date. At this it does not appear that the US embassy in Manila has opened any appointments yet for January.

My questions are : If the embassy does not open any January dates prior to my NOA2 expiring and I end up having to schedule the interview after the NOA2 expiries, will that cause a problem? Could someone who has experience and knowledge on this topic provide some feedback?

Thank you very much!

ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS - proof of bona fide evidence of marriage

Hi all! Im taking a long shot here but hoping somebody can help.

So we dont have a lot of legal documents with both are names

i.e :

  • Deed to property showing both names
  • Mortgage or loan documents showing both names
  • Lease agreement showing both names
  • Driver s licenses or IDs showing the same address
  • Bank statements showing both names
  • Utility bills showing both names (electricity, water, gas, trash, cable, internet, cell phone, etc.)
  • Correspondence from friends, family, or businesses showing both names
We only have my husbands updated life insurance, medical insurance with my name and an updated Emergency Data document from the DoD with my name on it too.
We are filing our AOS through rapid visa and they are asking for:
  • Explanation letter signed by the Petitioner why there is limited proof of bona fide evidence of marriage. It must be notarized.
  • In addition, we will need both of your signed comprehensive letters that include a statement/narration about your relationship (how you met, got engaged, details about your marriage, and future plans) signed and prepared individually to support the bona fide marriage evidence. Just a signed statement from both and doesn't need to be notarized.

Anyone has a sample for this two I can maybe get an idea of what to write? would be a big help! TIA!

K1 & K2 Long Wait

Does anyone know if the US embassy in Manila waits to create a tracking number and send the K-1 to LBC for delivery until the K-2s that are attached to her K-1 are issued? My fiance had her interview on October 15. That's over a month ago. The CEAC website says her visa is in "issued" status. Her oldest son is in "approved" status, and her younger son is in "ready" status. The two are 6 and 4, respectively, so I don't know why they are being held up. The attorney I used to help me get everything filed tells me that they will deliver the K-1 separately than the K-2s. and the K-2s may be delivered at different times too. Of course, there's no answers if you call the US embassy domestic line, or use the email form on usvisascheduling.com. All you get back is a copy and paste reply about how to check your status. It's because I checked my status that I have the question. My attorney doesn't have answers, I can't get answers from the embassy. I even called LBC to see if they could find her tracking number based on her name. The embassy doesn't give name information to LBC so they couldn't look it up by her name.

It would really help our anxiety level if we knew if the embassy releases all the visas at the same time, or if it's done individually. And if it's done individually, why the "issued" status date is 10/22 and we're still waiting for a tracking number.

Any enlightenment would be helpful.

ECrba Status. What does this mean?

Hello everyone,

I applied CRBA via their online portal last May 2024 and got our appointment last June 2024 at US Consulate in Cebu. I was asked for more information last July 2024. I sent them around September 2024. Since then, the status of my application has been, Pending Adjudication.

Just today, November 2024, it says, Shipped to Embassy/Consulate. Does it mean it was approved?

I m confused because i didn t ask them to mail the certificate to a Consulate or Embassy but instead to my home address in US.

Is there anyone here who has the same experienced? I browsed here and the internet and I couldn t find any similar situation.

Thanks.

Hello everyone, I am planning to petition my mom in the Philippines once i become a US citizen, however, she don t want to use her husband s last name but rather her maiden name.They separated long time ago(more than decades) and her husband died last month. In national ID, she is using her maiden name but the civil status is widowed. Should we change it to single status? Or just remain in widowed status? Any idea how and what are the processes I need to do before the petition? Thank you in advance.
