    Congratulations! smile.png

    Convince her to go to the hospital, home births are prone to many complications.

    In a hospital birth, mechanical suction and ventilation are available. But your choice :)

    Hank, do you know if i can just go to DFA without setting appointment online? I can't see my location on their website, is that really necessary to set an appointment online?

    Philippines Passport Validity..?

    I have always heard the embassy wants the CENOMAR and NBI to be under 6 months, I have read of cases on VJ where the embassy has held up approval until a new NBI could be ordered.

    Police clearance - local police clearance is not needed, now if you fiancée lived in another country for 6 months (and was 16 or older) or more you will need a police certificate from that country.

    Click the link in my signature below this post, there is info on the K-1 process

    Oh okay. In that case if they want a CENOMAR and NBI to be under 6 months, for sure she can renew her NBI even if let's say still valid for 4 months right? Because NBI is one of the requirements to apply for a passport and I want her to apply for it next week.

    Police clearance I think is also one of the requirements to apply for a passport (I am not sure :) )

    I'll just tell her not to get CENOMAR until we are approved.

    Thank you everyone for your response i appreciate it.

    I googled and got a response from one of the posters above that passport in the Philippines is valid for 5years, and when my fiancee apply for it, it can take 15days or a month to get it.

    As for the NBI some of my fiancee's friend says it took less than a month to get it (case to case basis) and i guess it is valid for one year?

    and for the CENOMAR also valid for one year.

    My fiancee is going to process those documents next week, she can't get a passport without NBI it's one of the requirements and also police clearance.

    When the time of the interview let's say after 8months does she need to have a new (latest) CENOMAR, NBI, and POLICE CLEARANCE?

    Thank you

    Our passport is good for 10 years. Unless you are under 18 years old. Then a passport is only good for 5 years.

    What about in the Philippines? My fiancee haven't got a passport yet, we are waiting for NOA2.

    A Philippine passport is valid for how many years from the date it was issued?

    Want to change email address for case updates at USCIS website

    RFE is about additional documentation/explanations realted to your petition. In some cases is just that you forgot to complete a field in a form, in otther cases yo might have missed/not provide a document.

    Changing e-mails will not be reflected there.

    In any case, you will get a written notice regardless of whether there is an e-mail srtup or not

    Thank you very much for your help. I hope there is no rfe.

    good luck to all of us

    RFE would only be from the petition process, not anything about you changing an email address on the USCIS website.

    You can change the email to yours from Jen's without issue. If you get an RFE email it will not have details and you will still need to wait for the actual notice from USCIS.

    thank you very much for your response.

    Now I feel okay.

    I think I'm gonna change the email address.

    Thank you again

    Are you are referring to the account info for status checking on the USCIS website? No it won't affect your petition or cause a red flag.

    The email address should be that of the USC anyway (not that it really matters) at this point as he is submitting the petition.

    If it's okay that the email address is under my fiancee's email address then I'll leave it that way. But if it really matters that it should be under my email address (petitioner) I hope I can still change it and hope it won't affect my case.

    I'm not sure if it's possible to delete, but the account would go inactive if not login for some time (90 days I think). It also requires password changes every 90 days.

    The only possible events that could happen are: RFE-request for explanation, but you will get a written request of the specifics; approval, and rejection of petition. In all cases, the notice in the site/e-mail is followed by a written notice in regular mail. The USCIS site does not give much details in the case of RFE or denial/approval, only that an event took place. In the case of RFE, the time to reply does not start running immediately.

    There is no reason to be worried, you can get same exact info on demand -any time- by using the case number in USCIS web site. The only other 'event' that happens is known as a 'touch', that does not generate messages (I believe), and all t a touch means is that a petition was 'touched' which could mean was moved from an office to another, but no active work has happened necesarily.

    Again, written notices to your address (the USC) follow every time an event happens (except for touch). So you would not really miss anything.

    The only reason I see of the e-mail or text is an advance notice, 3-4 days at the most. But you can't really do anything with the e-mail/text other than wait for the written notice (in most cases). The only time it might maybe matter is on approval, you would then now your case is being sent to the NVC-National Visa Center for a visa number. That usually takes 1-2 weeks (and could vary depending on case load).

    As I said earlier, this is not a retailer site that will keep you appraise of anything going on. In fact, many times I've read of errors in the site (not being updated timely, not sending notices -but a written notice is always sent).

    DOn't worry.

    When you say : The only possible events that could happen are: RFE-request for explanation,:

    it has something to do with changing email address at USCIS site? or is it about my case if they want some more evidence or if I'm lacking something in my I129f packet?

    I am focusing here : The only possible events that could happen are: RFE-request for explanation,: if it has somethingn to do when i change the email address so i can receive updates(if ever they email me).

    You can change the address or create a new account; but don't put too much into these updates, Usually, you might only get an update once when the petition has been approved; many here reported never receiving an e-mail. This is not a retailer site that bombards you any time there is any event.

    Thank you very much for your response. Is there any way i can delete my account at USCIS website?

    But the uscis will still contact/email/text the petitioner whenever there is changes in your case status aside from this account that I have made at uscis.?

    I am worried because it is under my fiancee's email address, whenever there is changes I might not get any info from USCIS or from anyone who's processing my case. And my fiancee will get ALL the information since it is under her email address.
