im sorry to hear about that francois007 & jehdin... been in that situatition too but im sure you will get the visa soon, got mine 6 weeks after they received the documents they asked. i'll pray for u both... hopefully you guys will get ur fiance's visa soon...

221g form will tell you what else you need to do... did they kept her passport?

hey guys! got my visa today .... after 6 weeks of waiting.... just got question, the yellow envelope, part of it is missing... one side, like it was cut... is that ok?

@chunky monkey: i havent done anything yet, just waiting...

@sassytay: ok.... thanx... will call or email tom....

@southcalhog: thanx, will email them this week..

@sassytay: hi! what is dispatch notification? it gonna be 6 weeks tom since they got the docs they asked for & my passport... did they keep your passport? or asked for you to send it together with the docs they asked from u?

@southcalhog: i dont know why they didnt keep my passport at the embassy but on the 221g form that is the only thing they asked from me... they just asked for current proof that my fiance is getting his benefit from the Veterans affair.

@EAbbas: what MENA countries?

@jennydgreat: WOW! yours was fast... congrats!

thanx for the info... wanted to call/email them but when i checked US embassy manila's website i found this:

"If you were refused under Section 221(g) the Immigrant and Nationality Act (INA) and had submitted the required documents via the 2GO commercial courier, you are kindly requested to wait to hear from the U.S. Embassy about the status of the visa application."

that's the only thing stopping me from making follow ups... what do u think?

I was scheduled for my visa interview last sept 2... I got a 221g paper asking 2 docs from my fiance & my passport... Sent the docs & my passport last sept 21 to USEM & USEM got it the next day.. hmmmm... its been over a month& i havent hear anything from them yet... I was wondering if anyone can tell me how long will it take to get my passport & visa?... Also, i want to know if i was put on administrative review/process? & what is that? should i call USEM to et info?.. Thank you in advance....

he doesnt have ITR for 2010 coz he is not working...

priority date is the received date in NOA1

i schedule my interview a day after i paid at BPI. you should select immigrant visa then k1 when you schedule your interview. your passport number will be your receipt number... hope this helps

im confuse, my interview is in 2 weeks & im not sure if i have all the necessary documents needed as for the financial aspect... my fiance is a full time student (using GI bill), iraq war veteran & hasnt work since 2009 (that was his last ITR) he hired a lawyer for my visa process. the lawyer asked him to fill out I-134 & asked for his ITR for 2009, bank details & some docs from VA (which states how much he get each month from them). all those docs where sent to USCIS when he filed for the petition for my visa (K1). now i read that i need I-134 for my interview, but my fiance said that he doesnt have the original copy since it was already sent to USCIS. all i have are scanned copy af all the docs that was send to USCIS. & was told to just print all of it & bring it with me on my interview. im really worried about this aspect. thanx for your help...

ok... thank you, that was our lawyer said too...

I practiced filling out form DS-156 & send it to our lawyer to make sure that everything is right. She told me to change my answer to question 32 ("do you intent to work in the US") which I answer NO,though i definitely have plans on getting a job once i get permit.

So now I need to fill out a new form DS-156 & my concern was if that will cause a problem on my interview as the first form got a barcode on it. Hope someone will enlighten me. Thanks.

that was my problem too... but while trying to schedule my interview yesterday, i saw some fine print there that there is a 3 hour delay after you pay at the bank... so i schedule it today & it went through. the receipt number is your passport number... here is a link for more info... payment info ... hope this helps...

hey! just did my medical last monday... there will be no charge for the vaccine (that was my concern too ), the doctor will tell your fiancee which vaccines she needs to get ( i got 3 ), which will given on the 2nd day which means she passed medical exam coz she wont get to 2nd day of medical if they found any problem with the result of her xray, urine & blood. oh by the way, tell your fiancee not to go there on a MONDAY, line is so long & also register online, it will make it faster.

here's the link My link

congrats!!!

thanx for the info, done with medical... now will schedule interview

thank you... got a little worried there

hi! i am going to do my medical tom but i have not scheduled my interview yet, i thought i can schedule my visa interview after my medical but as i check st. lukes website, it indicates there that one of the documents they require are 2 photocopies of your Appointment Letter/ Instruction Letter... hmmm what is that? is that the letter that i will get after i schedule online for visa interview? thanx

thank you ... it was received feb 14

hey thanx... uhmmmm... i have two dates in NOA1

notice date w/c is on feb 16

received date w/c is on feb 14

which one?

where can i find the priority date? im trying to schedule visa interview, im stuck in one page coz i dont know the priority date. I check NOA2 but priority date is blank...

hmmm.... who can we get as a joint sponsor? his family? my family or anyone?

our petition was approved june 27th & we havent done anything yet as we were confused with the process. now we know what to do, we are just concerned on the affidavit of support coz my fiancee is not working, he is studying & using GI bill... we want to know if that would be enough, tax returns that he used was way back on 2009... would those docs be enough? or do we need someone else for support? thanx
