Patience is the meal no one wants to eat, it's always burnt, cold and too salty.

Btw, I love the picture in the chef's hat. Too cute!

I agree. lol

thanks

Thanks for the response guys. I think I just need to have more patience, lol.

Hi fellow members,

Im just worried because my fiance sent his I-129F Package 2nd week of october but we havent hear anything from the consulate yet, ist normal to wait for their first response? or are we missing something to do?

I will appreciate all your help.

I presume you sent them to the lockbox address in Dallas?

DId you sign up for email notifications? They usually come in about a week sooner than paper notifications, so it is worth doing it.

As for the paper notification, give it another week or so.

Did they cash the check? That is the first visible sign to you that they are working on it.

Hi,

thanks for the info.

Yeah we sent it to Dallas Lockbox. We also sign up for email notification but havent got anything yet. We paid it through bank . so we just sent them the payment receipt. Just wondering if it really takes time for us to get a response.

Hi everyone,

We just send our papers for K-1 visa last October 10, how long do we usually wait to get a response from the embassy? and what will be the first notification that we will get? DHL courier already sent us a confirmation that our package was received. Hoping for your answers, thank you,

Why not do a DCF Visa if the US Citizens lives in Philippines. It only takes a few days to get approved. You will have to get married in Philippines first.

yeah, we considered that but we both agreed to marry in US. Cause I heard that its easier to get fiance visa to go to US than the other.

Alternate if need to return to the Phils for an extended time (6+ months following marriage).

Plan A: Apply for a visitor's visa, travel to the US, get married and return before that visa expires.

Then when you plan to move to the US permanently, apply for a CR-1 or DCF visa while in the Phils, obtain that and move to the US.

Plan B: Apply for the K-1, travel to the US, get married but don't AOS.

Then do the same as above for the CR-1 or DCF.

very helpful information. Thanks a lot.

Your fiance must stay in the US until she get her green card.

Thanks genr87. appreciate it:)

Hi, Thanks for the answer. We plan to reside permanently in US but because he's doing some work in Philippines we might need to comeback . So just in case we want to come back to Phil after we get married in US can we do that? and what visa should I get the next time I go to US to stay there permanently? ? sorry kinda complicated.

Hi everyone! Im new here. Hope you guys can help me with my concern. Just filed our papers today and keeping my fingerscrossed to hear good news soon. Anyways, Me and my fiance lived in Philippines and we filed k-1 visa to get married in the US, after we get married can we comeback to the Philippines or we need to stay in US until I'll be approved for permanent residency? Thank you .
