Sillygirl...please update to reflect we are off of AR!!!!!!....visa released march 7th...we'll let you know when visas are in hand.

Sheryl has passed her medical and completed CFO counseling. Is it possible to have butterflies for 6 weeks straight? I'm at 2 and a half weeks now since we got an interview date.

I'm right behind you on that one.. I'm counting each passing day now till our I-DAY ...I'm flying on April 13th to be with my Honey for his interview on April 16th..I'm hoping that my jetlag will be gone by then...Any helpful tips/advice about jetlags that you can share with me?

Thanks

It is advisable to be consistent with the answers especially if your ITR (Form 1040) and W2 report the part-time job.

You are a fitness dance instructor! How fun! Do you also teach ballroom dancing?

Thank you Ate PW for your sensible response...

*ehem,off topic* Yeah, I'm a part-time ZUMBA dance instructor and it's one of the coolest job in the world that a person could have..I lost about 65 lbs. with it that's why I love teaching it.It's a Latin-based work out full of salsa,Merengue,HipHop,Bellydancing,Tango,Samba,Rhumba,etc.. I even do our very own Tinikling dance in my class and my students love it! I wish I can do ballroom dancing but I'm not good in dancing with a partner coz I tend to lead sometimes and doesn't know how to follow *sorry for the off topic*...

I'm a full time IT geek by day and a part time fitness dance instructor at a local gym in my area at the same time.I've included informations from both jobs when I filled up my G325 Biographic form for our K1 application..A few months have passed and I am now preparing an affidavit of support for my fiance and I'm thinking of using only my income from my full time job.I believe I've met the income requirement with my main job and it will be a little hassle for me if I try to combine incomes from both jobs because my part time job earnings is not consistent.It's my fun job,something that I do to make the lonely nights fly faster ..Will this be a potential AR for not enough/conflict of information? As a backup,I have a letter of employment from my part time job as well but the fitness director only indicated my per class rate in it.I will also send it to my fiance together with the rest of the I-134 paperworks. Let me know what you all think..

Thanks for all your help

Congratulations to all who just had their interview and were approved...

I just got a text message from my Honey..he received the packet 4 today ..Please update us Ate PW ... It was funny coz I called Manila Embassy last night and the lady told me that the packet was mailed on February 14th and the latest time he will receive it will be around end of March ...She probbably got confused with the month

We're almost there... I'm flying on April 13th to be with him at the interview..Goodluck to us all

Congratulations!! I'm hoping that I'll be next pretty soon..

I called Manila embassy last night and spoke to a very nice and helpful lady at extension 5184.. She was very patient with me and I was very satisfied with all her answers for most of them seems to be true .She assured me that my packet is at their location and that it is in good hands. No interview date set up for us yet..it's still too soon anyway. I wish I'll know who that lady was so I can send her a thank you card or something ..it's very hard to find a person who's as helpful as she is when calling the embassy.

I have a question about I-134, can it be typed,sign,notarized & dated or the whole form has to be handwritten with blue ink? I read over at the other thread that someone's visa was delayed because their consul didn't accepted their typewritten notarized I-134. I was planning on typing my I-34 since my handwritting is not that good and it'll be notarized after that.

Thanks!

Yeah he'll have to pay again. He can apply for the EAD at the same time as he applies to adjusts status (I would imagine). I don't think that an EAD based on a K-1 Visa would be renewable.

My sister recently switched jobs. Her last day from the previous one was Dec. 8, 2006. She will start working for the new job on 1/2/07. Is it OK to file for AOS now since they need to submit an Affidavit of Support as well?

Kayz,

Your brother-in-law apparently applied on the basis of being a K1, his card is good for his duration of stay as indicated on his I-94. He did pretty good to get 30 days!

EA on the basis of being an applicant for adjustment of status is good for 1 year. You write that your brother-in-law has not yet applied for adjustment of status.

My brother in law received his EAD card today and it says valid from 12/22/06-1/28/07.. for 30 days only !?!?!?. He came and got married on October but he hasn't applied for AOS yet. I thought EAD is valid for 1 year after applying.Is this some kind of a mistake when they processed his application?

Is EAD renewable? He's going to mail his AOS next week... Or he should have filed for AOS first before EAD...

Quick question, Manila received my packet on Dec. 27th. Is it still possible to track any further activity after that and what is the best way to track it? How long does it usually takes before my fiance & I will receive a letter from them stating that they have my packet and it's in good hands (hopefully ) .

Thanks

ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!

Our baby was born today in dumaguete we named her cheyanne ariel she was born between 1am & 2 am phil time.

Only surprise is the Dr. that did the ultra sounds kept saying boy so we bought all boy clothes and i was just about to paint the nursery blue.

I am so happy everything is ok now i can relax a little, i've been so nervous unable to be there during the delivery.

Now just waiting for our interview and bring my girls home.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!

Best birthday gift that I got this year.. I called NVC today and my packet left for Manila on Dec 22nd. Manila Embassy received it on Dec 27!!! Wooohooo!!! Please update my timeline.. Next wait is for the Packet 4 that they'll send to my fiance right? Thanks a lot for all your help.

Kayz, I see you have your Manila case number already. I'm not calling NVC until after the holidays, I'm too busy to call them hehehe. They made me wait 20 months so I will let them wait this time around

It's looking good for nos. 66~71!

Hahaha!! I think my lucky charm's working double-time for me lately.. Believe it or not, I only waited 3 minutes when I called NVC to check on my case. I could't believed it either.In fact, I completely forgot to ask about the new case# so I called them again and even when I called for the second time it was pretty fast too! I was on hold for on or about 5 minutes! Incredible indeed..hahaha! For those of you who's curious, I called NVC yesterday around 6:15PM EST. Happy holidays!
