Hi Guys!

Has anybody here got their Case Completed this Month of Aug??and Did you guys get your Interview Date yet??

I am just wondering as those who got their case completed on Aug 2 have their interviews scheduled on the 2nd week of Sept so I am trying to find out if they will be able to fill us in for Sept as well. Know also that USEM Manila had to re-schedule interviews due to the flood one week ago.

Thanks in advance! =)

Thanks Everyone,

I just emailed my accountant and I will file my taxes so we go to the next step.

Good luck to us!

Thank you all!

Appreciate it a lot!

Did you file for an extension before you left?

Hi,

I did not also file for an extension. I am in the Philippines since Feb2011 until now.

What should I do? NVC is looking for the 2011 tax return but I am going to file it when I get back to Anerica at the end of the year of course together with my wife.

Hi Guys,

Need some advice here. I called NVC and they told me they need my 2011 tax return to proceed with the next process, but the thing is I have been living with my wife in the Philippines since 2011 up to now, I was informed that I can file it as soon as I get back to America (is this true?). I was employed also for 6months on 2011 and then became an Independent Contractor later on up to the present time so I can be with my wife that I love so much.

What kind of document do I need to show NVC about this? Has anybody been through this before?

Need your thoughts so I can get this done right away.

Thank You Vj!

The beneficiary from the Philippines only should get the National Bureau of Investigation Clearance (NBI). It is valid for 1 year from date of issuance.

The whole process usually takes about 8-10 Months from the date of filing I-130. =) Welcome to Visa Journey!

I sent the originals and copies as well.

The instruction to me was to write the beneficiary's name, Date of Birth and NVC Case# at the back of the picture. Use black pen.

I guess it's the CFO certificate you are talking about. Without this certificate there will be huge problem in the future.

Hi, we will be bringing our dog from PH to USA also. Our dog is originally from California. The only airline we trust is Philippine Airline, for our 10pounds chihuahua terrier dog he's kennel will cost $300 (50lbs). Our dog needs to be vaccinated 30 days prior to leaving PH, and we need to get an exit permit of pets from the Bureau of Animal Industry (Animal health Division). Bring the certificate of vaccination to BAI at Diliman Quezon City to acquire the exit permit and that's it. The quarantine in the US won't be that bad at all.

Well as far as I know this all goes to NVC but I also know that they will forward everything to the USEM in Manila, it is better if you have extra copies to bring to the US Embassy in Manila. I always make sure I have the same exact copies of whatever I send to NVC.

I am so sorry I did not see that you are under IR2 visa, So sorry. Those checklist is for CR1 visa so I don't have a clue for IR2 IV packet checklist.

I am preparing my IV packet as well, I have the following so far, but I don't know if NVC will ask for more docs

Bar coded cover sheet

cover letter

2passport sized photos of beneficiary

Completed and signed form of DS-230 part 1 by the beneficiary

Completed and unsigned form of DS-230 part 2

Photocopy of biographic data page of the beneficiary's passport

Original and Photocopy of Marriage cert

Original and Photocopy of beneficiary's Birth Cert

Original and Photocopy of NBI Clearance

Same here. I sent the DS3032 on July 3 via email. No response still. I am getting worried too =( I am planning on calling NVC but I have a friend that just got their AOS and IV bill today, our timeline are pretty much closer so I need to wait for a couple days more.

Can someone please tell me the cost for a NBI police clearance, it is the last paperwork that I need before the interview.

I paid Php150.00 for NBI (Travel to USA)

Same here. It's been 1 month now since our NOA2 =(

Hi Caryh,

I agree with you but I am just sharing this, when I asked my husband to get a certificate of no marriage, he was able to obtain a certificate from the court house in his hometown in California, it looked like this,

"CERTIFICATE OF NO RECORD FOUND"

(body)

Event: Marriage

Name:(name of US Citizen)

Period Searched. From: (date) To: (date)

It was notarized and signed by the assessor-recorder of the court house. We've presented this certificate to get the legal capacity from the US embassy here in Manila. This is as good as the CENOMAR.

=) Again, I am just sharing this

Hi,

I think it's the CERTIFICATE OF NO RECORD FOUND, put event as: Marriage

My husband was able to obtain it when he went to get his birth certificate as well.

Hi everyone,

Please help me out here, I need your advice.This is our situation, me and my husband is currently living together here in the Philippines, when we filed the I-130 we used his Mom's address in the US for them (USCIS) to send forms and stuffs, 2 days ago we just got our NOA2 (HAPPY ^__^) so my questions is,

What to do about "Choice of Agent" , who is a better choice of agent the USC or me (Alien Spouse? Will it matter since me and my husband are both living abroad (Philippines)?

Thank You All!! I'd appreciate any advices =)

Wow, I saw your timeline. It took you about 3 months to get the NOA2, what did you do?? How to speed up the process? I've heard about expediting a visa, I am with my husband right now here in Makati and we want to speed up the process because he's been suffering from a severe back pain for 10 years now and we're planning to get a surgery in America but he needs me to be there when this happens, so we want to fly to the US together then we can get that surgery done. What do you guys think of it? Will they approve us?

Nice. Is that the reason why they "last updated" our I-130 again a week ago in their website? So we should be getting more updates eventually? I hope we get our approval very soon

hello guys!...just want to ask if we go for CFO,does the Cenomar,NBI,Birth certificate has

to be original?or photocopy will do?since we are going for interview on US embassy before we

do our CFO,do you think the embassy will return our Original Documents? hoping for your reply.

Thanks!

Hi There!

I think CFO needs to see those originals but they won't be keeping them, for comparison only. Bring also photocopies to CFO. Just be fully ready.

I have not been into the process of going to the embassy so I don't know if they need to keep the originals too. Let me Know,okay?

Oh Yea I almost forgot , bring also wedding pictures or any pictures of you with your spouse and your family.

Oh and 2x2 picture (I think 2pcs is enough)

I called 2 weeks ago and asked they if it's really necessary that my husband needs to attend the seminar too and they said "Not necessary" just bring the following:

>2 valid ID's

>Marriage Cert NSO Authenticated

>NBI Clearance

>If you are below 24 years old they need to see the Parent's Advise letter also photocopy ID of parents with signature in it.

>CENOMAR and Birth Certificate of both spouses.

I just got my NBI last week but I need another ID that's why I can't go yet. Good Luck!

When do you plan to go to attend the seminar? We might bump into each other lol

Goodluck!!!!
