It will not hurt to call them and ask them ahead of time what you can do to make it easier

Thank you Caly but what is the receipt number on the NOA1 for? and what does checking it online on the USCIS website under "My Case" do, when it ask you to put in the receipt number? Thank you in advance for any info

We just got our NOA1 as well and i was wondering same thing and also to piggy back off this question when we look up our case or when we call to get an status it says our receipt number does not exsist. Is that normal for it to take time to get into the system? any info would be appreciated thank you in advance

Thanks Berty

Anyone have admins info i can message?

How do i delete?

What is the best way to mail the packet we have for our I-751 packet so NVC will receive it and sign for it? Big Envelope (which would be hard being the size of the packet and folder) or box? does it matter if its one or the other? any info would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance

Case number is for you to track the progress of your case, wait til you receive NOA1 which usually takes up to a week which just indicates that USCIS received your case and nothing more, then you will wait usually months for NOA2. After receiving NOA2 they will give you instructions on what to do next but to be ahead of the game research the next step and have it ready for when you get approved hope this helps and good luck

We are in same situation we are due after we turn packet in, we are submitting pictures of baby shower and copies of ultra sound along with Dr. visits and healthcare statement. If we get an RFE then we will send in copy of birth certificate:) hope this helps

Hello fellow VJ'ers, we are in process of turning in our I751 packet and we were wondering if its ok to leave blocks empty on the form? I remember on the I-130 we put N/A in the blocks that did not apply to us and did not leave any blocks blank, is this the same for I751? Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks in advanced

Thanks carton025 it will save us some printer ink

When sending in the proof especially the bank statement, is it ok to just send the pages that have both your names on the account rather than send the whole entire 9 page statement with all the transactions on it? i know its a small thing but i don't want it to be the reason for an RFE. any help would be great thank you in advance

That's great we got the same story. The road is never easy for long distance relationship, but love will always prevail. We are now together and pregnant with our first baby.

Hold on there guys, your time to be together finally will come very soon! God bless!

Does anyone know all the current fees that i have to pay when leaving the Philippines and how much? I am leaving on a CR1 visa if that matters in the fee or not. I know everyone pays the 550 pesos terminal fee but what other fees are there? I'm trying to prepare in advance so i'm not short handed on money or carry to much. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance and God bless

Just would like to know how many marriage certificate should I bring to the US? Im preparing for my flight now. my husband needs the marriage cert in insurance. how many more should I bring?

Hi

Good day!

Please help me on this one.

My flight is on November 16. I am flying MNL-PEK-JFK. My layover at PEK to JFK is just 1hr 40min. I am so nervous I might miss my flight for such a little time. And I have read that you got to go to 3 security checks with long lines that will consume so much time.

My question is, has anyone here had a same layover time in Beijing and missed or not missed flight?

Is my layover time sufficient to get to my next flight?

Do you have to really go through 3 security checks?

Is it easy to navigate Beijing International Airport? I will be landing at PEK Terminal 3 and depart at PEK Terminal 3.

Ill be traveling alone and it is my first international flight.

I am hoping for your guidance on this.

Thank you so much in advance.

K-1 does not have an Immigrant data sheet (not an immigrant visa). So do NOT bring the whole package to CFO.

ohh.. my bad

Bring the whole package at the CFO coz she also needs the Immigrant data summary Xeroxed. Don't detached that from the brown packet. Xerox copier there at the CFO Xerox that portion together with the whole package so it will not be mesed up. CFO copier there near the CFO knows what to do. I did the same. I hope this info helped. God bless!

Is it cheaper to book the ticket in the Philippines rather than the US?

Oh, that I don't know. Maybe its just the same. My husband booked the ticket for me at cheapticket.com, MNL-PEK-JFK cost him 800 US dollars.

@rickandchez

did you pick up your visa immediately or did you have it mailed to you?

I picked up my visa at MOA 2GO office. They said its more faster than have it delivered at home.

I got my visa three business days after my interview. But I have read in US Embassy form that you have to allow them 7 to 10 business days from the interview date, that is (hopefully) if you don't get an AP. And sometimes, since you are processing more than 1 visas (your fiancee and your son), not all visa with same interview date has same releasing date.

My husband got my ticket right after the interview date, and the flight is 30 days the day he got my ticket. So if there is any problem on the releasing of my visa or visa info on passport, we still got 30 days to fix it before my flight.

You have to consider CFO (if you still haven't got this), AP, and the correctness of your visa info on your passport in getting a ticket before visa on hand.

I hope these info help.

God bless!

Is perfectly fine to come through a POE without paying that fee in advance.

The passport gets a stamp at the POE, that endorses the visa to be used as a temporary I-551 document, a temporary green card, for a year.

It's also perfectly fine to pay the fee after the POE date. IMO, it's easier, as the two humans are there shoulder to shoulder in front of a computer.

HINT: there's some papers attached to the OUTSIDE of the 'do not open' envelope. One of them is the 'Immigrant Data Summary' Page. COPY THIS PAGE, scan it, email it to yerself before going through the POE. The POE takes this page, and it's got all the info you need, to sucessfully file for a greencard and pay for it, at the ELIS website.

Wow, thank you! I did photocopy my Immigrant Data Summary Page. Thank you for the advice.

God bless!

They didn't asked for my passport photo either on my interview even though I brought some with me during.

Andy_san is right, US embassy will use the one that we submitted during medical at Saint Lukes.

Hi!

Good day!

We already received our visa packet with our USCIS Immigration Fee instruction. I am just wondering what is the consequences if we are not going to pay it yet. Can I not travel to US?

It says in the instruction page that I will just not receive my Green Card until I have paid the USCIS Immigrant Fee.

Can we wait until I get there in the US before we pay for it? Will I be held in my Port of Entry by not paying it?

Because we are planning to pay for it when I get there in the US.

Thank you for your help

God bless!
