    Online status on June 14: petition was sent to Department of State. What does this mean?

    And I did not get any approval letter but on line status on June 6 that petition approved. 

     

    Thank you

    Hi,

     

    I also got the online status as well last June 17 that it was sent to Department of State for visa processing. I believe the next steps are waiting for NVC instructions.

    Pd: November 9.

    Online status today: Your petition approved on June 6.

    What is next?

     

    Thank you.

    Congratulations! You will receive a letter that your petition has been approved as well as our beneficiaries (parents). We’ll wait for the instructions of NVC regarding the next steps such as online account CEAC , uploading financial docs on our part as petitioner etc.. 

     

    We’re still waiting for the physical letter that will be sent over to my dad in the Phils. as a letter for the beneficiary (USCIS already sent our letter here in the US though as petitioner).

    Sealed Affidavits ?

    Hi everyone.

    Quick question:

     

    My wife(us citizen) is from Texas, but we live in another state now. Her mother and her friend mailed affidavits from Texas and we did not open them. We thought to mail them sealed like that would that be a good idea, add more authenticity to it?

    We have no clue what they wrote in there.

     

    We will have one affidavit that will be open from my sister who lives in the same house as we do.

    I sent  3 affidavits and all are opened. Yes they’re right, it’s better to see what’s written on the affidavits than be sorry. Also, I don’t think sealed affidavits are more special than opened since mine went successfully until citizenship. (submitted open affidavits from K1-AOS-ROC ).

    Maybe it's late but this is very very confusing, I was answering to MrsTR.

    Yes, sorry to confuse you, my recent post was not for this post, it's for another post but I already removed it. :) Anyway, I agree on what you said to OP. Recent forms should be checked most especially the fee. I had experienced before when I'm just submitting my K1 visa packet, my husband got the wrong fee on my check and it was returned. Regards.

    You can forget about that cover letter, it's pretty outdated. The fee is now 1225$, if you file for you only. And the documents to attach are pretty different.

     

    Try to get as much information from the USCIS website directly. And get the forms from the USCIS as well not from other websites to be sure you have the latest ones. Download the instructions for each form too.

     

    I can post parts of my cover letters tomorrow if you want.

     

    Is it for a k-1?

    I'm preparing my petition paperwork to bring my Mom, she is widowed and never been in USA before, I need your help to double check all the requirements before submitting the application, her is what I have so far:

    - Personal check of $535

    - I-30 complete application.

    - G-1145 for e-notifications.

    - A copy of my naturalization certificate. (Do I have to send the original)

    - A copy of my birth certificate along with a certified translation into English. (Do I have to send the original?)

    - A copy of my Mom's birth certificate along with a certified translation into English. (Do I have to send the original?)

    - 2 passport size photos for me.

     

    Please share with me any ideas and let me know if I need to include any further documents.

    Hi,

     

    We’re on the same boat but it is my widowed dad I’m petitioning who’s never been here in the US. I believe there are documents needed if you’re petitioning a mother or a father. I didn’t send the original ones just the copies of each and I didn’t send out passport photos coz I think that is for spouse visa or maybe later at nvc stage. Attached are the things I submitted. I just added my driver’s license too on top of a copy of my US visa but it is optional.

     

    - Personal check $535

    - G-1145

    - I-130 competed and signed

    - Copy of Naturalization cert. (petitioner)

    - Copy of Birth cert. (petitioner)

    - Copy of US unexpired passport, biographical page (p)

    - Copy of driver’s license (p) - optional

    - Copy of Marriage cert. (p) - showing my name change

    - Copy of Birth cert. ( beneficiary )

    - Copy of Marriage cert. ( b)

    - Copy of Spouse death cert. (b)

     

    Wish us November 2018 filers the best!

    We filed for my mother in law and mailed the documents/petition on November 4 via FedEx. Those who are filing november 2018 for the same. please post here.

    I filed for my widowed father yesterday , Nov 15, 2018.  I just want to ask , do we need the passport photos for the application? I thought that is for applying for petition of spousal visa and not alien relative. Thanks!

    Are the passport photos needed ? I submitted my petition for my father yesterday and just provided copies and not the original ones. 

    PHILIPPINES - Middle Name?

    Okay, so it looks like I have to deal with name change one way or another.

     

    So right now, for SS and other US ids, I would just follow US way to avoid problems with USCIS.

     

    And later on, probably few years from now, I will just deal with amending my “middle name” on everything in Philippine way, specially once I renew my passport.

     

    Does this sounds like how everyone did?

    thanks a lot!

     

     

    Yes, It’s really up to you if you want to change name but really there’s no issue with USCIS as long as you explained to it properly and used it to all your paperworks. 😊 It’s just hard to keep on changing your name since you’re establishing your life here and will be using your name to every government ids, credit cards or memberships but again it’s all up to you there’s no right or wrong. 😊 Goodluck!

    I just noticed your citizenship has been approved!!   Congrats!!

     

    Do you miss Tucson or you use to the cooler weather now?

     

    Are you going to complete dual citizenship next?

    Hi Hank! 

     

    How are you? Thank you so much! You've been very helpful to me on my journey through Citizenship :) I do miss AZ A LOT! We will visit Tucson in December and oh no, I still wear 2-3 layers of clothing during Winter LOL! Regarding dual citizenship, that's what I'm thinking too but I will be visiting the Philippines around summer next year so I'm really considering it. :) Regards to you Hank!

    Hi guys,

     

    I was just wondering what my name will turn out to be after marrying my fiancé here in the US?

     

    I mean for some of you who might not know, in Philippines  “middle name” is our mother’s maiden surname.

    And for females, once married, our maiden surname will become our middle name.

     

    For example:

    Maiden name: Maria Castro Gomez

    once married: Maria Gomez Kidman

     

    That’s how it’ll be (traditionally) in the Philippines.

     

    And I don’t feel like using it here in the US. Any ideas how I will deal with this?

    Can I leave my middle name blank?

    or do I have to stick with the middle name used in my k1 visa?

    ooooor, do I need to follow Philippines tradition?

     

    Your reply will be highly appreciated!

    Thanks a lot in advance!!

     

    Hi,

    I used mine following the Filipino tradition like yours and encountered no problems at all. I even have 2 first names ( ex. Maiden name: Mary Rose Uy Ramos Married name: Mary Rose Ramos Smith ) but as long as if other government agencies such as Social security, RMV or at work ask you, you simply have to tell your name as what you decided on and stick with it until you gain naturalization/citizenship. You need to submit ROM in the Philippine Consulate Embassy too but they're not gonna question you once you placed your name on your Marriage license. They're also right, once you have your naturalization, they will ask you if you want to change your legal name. Regards.

    I have couple of questions and concerns we both are carrying separate medical insurance do we still need to include copies of our medical insurance most people says don’t include their copies at all my other question is that my wife have received letter from her work showing we both were covered for dental and life insurance from April 2018 which we believe ended as she left her job that letter indicates me as beneficiary should we include this letter we did not receive life insurance cards only received dental insurance cards do we need to include that letter copy with dental insurance cards they are expired and if we include do we need to write on cover letter that they are expired or we don’t need to mention just confused about these things please help

    Hi,

    From our experience, we submitted copies of our expired life insurances as well before when my work has ended as it shows our names together with our span of two year marriage. What’s important I think is that for the consul to see your names together or co mingling of anything together whether a property or gym membership, condo rental, bills for that span of your marriage as that is what they want to find out. I suggest you just placed the expired insurance cards as the dates it started and ended but not write a letter. You can add a present one if you also have one. Hope this helps. You’re almost there just keep the faith .  Regards.
