They are a little delayed in updating the system. It was a few days after getting the NOA1 that I was able to check my case online.
So I just got my NOA1s today, and when I go to the USCIS website and try to track my case online, it keeps saying that the case doesnt exist and that I need to check my app receipt number. I'm putting in the number correctly (no dashes, blah blah) so what gives? Could it be that its just not in their system yet or what? Any ideas on how long it'll take to get in there? -
My Green Card has my Surname, First name and middle initial.
Actually I was wondering if it was normal to only have the middle initial rather than the full middle name.
Same here. I was wondering if middle initial intead of full middle name is the norm.

Hi Ann/Bob, I'm sorry to hear that you're having to go through such a hassle. I'll tell you what happened to us this week, hopefully it doesn't freak you out.
I made an infopass appointment at the Chula Vista center which is closest to us for this past thursday. We didn't really think that we would be able to do anything about the work permit situation, but maybe they could tell us a little about our case. The woman we spoke with assured us that it was probably just the name check that was holding us up, since it "takes forever". She looked in her computer & told us that no the name check went through a couple of months ago. She looked a bit more then said "wait I remember you, I just finished denying your case. It's still here on my desk". I of course began crying immediately. The woman told me there was no need to cry just yet. She hasn't yet put the denial in the mail, it was to go out that night, so she would still be able to change the status. The reason they denied us was when we moved a couple of months ago, I changed our address with the nation center, but did not take the same information down to Chula Vista (I just assumed that since national had it, so would everyone else. Wrong apparently). They had sent us a RFE to our old address and when it was sent back as undeliverable and with no response from us, they had to assume that we abandoned our case, automatic denial. What aggravates me is that i've been contacting the national center every month and all they tell me is our case is in active review in Missouri, not Chula Vista where it actually was. They were very nice to us when the situation was understood and allowed us to bring in the evidence they requested (our children's birth certificates). I asked out of curiosity what would have happened if we came down a day later and what she told me is there would have been nothing we could have done at that point other than apply for an appeal or reapply and start this whole process over again. Honestly I don't know if I could do this again. It may have been off to France for us.
According to the woman we spoke with we should receive our approval in about 30 days. My husband just won't be able to work for a bit due to his work permit expiring, no big deal in comparison. I still have trouble wrapping my head around how lucky we were, to go that day, speak with that particular woman, everything fell right into place.
I hope all is going well in your case, I know how frustraiting this waiting can be. Hopefully all that's holding you up is the name check, what we were told is that it can take 6 months in some cases, maybe more. Please let me know how your appointment goes, we'll be crossing our fingers for you.
Thanks,
Jules/Philippe
Wow, that is truly one fine example of how amazing USCIS is! (there should be an emoticon for sarcasm)
I'm glad eveything worked out well for you. You have great timing!

Hi Iya,
Just curious since you had your medical. Are there really a lot of people line up for early morning schedule? Are you allowed to bring a bag where you can put your celphone.. etc...USEM interview doesnt allow you to bring any though except whats needed for the interview. I certainly would print sillygirls medical exp as others who had their med says its very helpful. hope to get a response.
Gra
Hi there.
You don't need to line up early in the morning for your medical. I am not really a morning person (
) so I went there at noon and still got everything for the first day done by 4pm. And yes, you can bring a bag and your cellphone with you.
Good luck!

She can ask the consul if she can pick up the visa (before she goes out of the cubicle). It will normally be ready for pick up the next day or two days after.
I picked mine up but my fiance was with me and he was the one who asked.
When visa is approved at the Manila Interview, can your fiancée pick the visa up in person a few days later, instead of using Delbros since she will in Manila and lives in Providence?Does anyone have any experience or know this answer: How many days?
-
well we got an AR! i don't know what went wrong. the interview took only 3 minutes and he kept saying everything looks fine except they have to review something. he never told us what it was. it could be numerous things.
- my wife's grandfather was petitioning my mom-in-law a couple years ago. i guess since my wife was dependent on her mom at the time she automatically is included in the petition. it was an F3 petition i think. i dunno
- our marriage?
- if we have kids?
i dunno what it could've been. we got the "white AR document" with a check at the bottom that says "we will review your case... please wait for us to contact you and bring the following documents checked above...". the problem is there is no document checked above. he said it can take up to 3 weeks. we'll probably call the embassy on monday to get more details.
those who called the 1909 number, are you put on hold and the 6php starts to charge or it will just ring until someone answers and you won't get charged until someone starts to help you?
Sorry to hear that. hopefully it won't take long. Hang in there and keep the faith!
To all,
I just want to inform you folks that I will be going away this weekend and I will update all that needs to be updated when I get back on Sunday night (monday morning there). Since I volunteered to take over the list while PW is on her much needed vacation and sexercise to keep her in shape
, I thought I'd make paalam sa inyo so that you won't think that I abandoned the list.
Just keep posting all the updates and i promise to work on it when I get back. Wala kasing PC don sa bahay sa Illinois eh.

Happy trip to Ana and Tessa and Jinky!!! Steven, your wait is down to less than 24 hours
Sillygirl, the list is all yours (and thank you so much). PW temporarily signing off.....
:energetic:
Warning: Intensity 9.9 around 2:00 am Manila time.
Jinky is on her way to the Cebu International Airport! She will call me one last time before she boards the plane. She has one stop in Hong Kong (1 hr. 10 min) and from there to LAX! Keep her in your prayers! ...and I'm producing enough stomach acid to burn a whole to the center of the earth.
I'm trying to keep calm but it's not my nature....ayeeeeeee!
breathe in..... breathe out....

Sillygirl, are you ready to take over? I will update one last time tomorrow before I go. Game ka na ba? Sure ka na ba? Deal or no deal?
Alam mo bang nag-alsa balutan na si Kris at kailangan daw nya ng space from James Yuck? Updated ka ba sa chismis dito hehe. Walang binatbat si Britney Spears kay Kristeta natin ano?
Game na!
Umiral nnmn pala ang pagka baliw ni Kris. Huling huli na ko sa balita jan. Haaayyy.
Mag warm up muna bago mag sexcercise ha!

I was on the CFO website. One of the requirements is Original and photocopy of Immigrant DAta Summary (for USA bound emigrant). What is this and where do I get it?
To all the ladies who have received their visas, can someone please confirm if the Immigrant Data Summary (IDS) is provided by the US Embassy. I read somewhere that the IDS is attached to the brown envelop. Please let us know.
I asked the lady at the visa pick up window what that Immigrant Data Summary was. She said that I don't have it. I assumed it was because K-1 is supposed to be non-immigrant.
When I went to get my CFO sticker, they didn't ask that from me. They just asked to see my passport with the visa and the certificate of attendance for the counseling and guidance.

thanks Glen. She'll be here in about 9 hrs.
wow, counting the hours now. happy for you!

Can anyone give me some direction on applying for a social security number for my wife? She came on a K3 visa, as we were already married in the Phils. It seems that my bank, life insurance and every place I do business needs a social security number from her.
If she came here on K-3, then she is not "work authorized" and cannot apply for an SSN until she has her work permit or greencard (which ever comes first).
https://s044a90.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/36f...b4?OpenDocument
You might want to try reading the working, travelling prior to greencard section for more info, and of course the guides.

WOW! We had a fun time last night meeting up with all the wonderful Manila thread members. Present were:
Gary & Luz (Iniibig ko & LuzyC) + son Robin
Ken & Maria (Ken_Maria & September0206)
Gary & Florenda (garya505)
Maria – Richard&Maria
Karen – Kar3n
Cora – PatientlyWaiting
Judy –AlanlvsJudy
Ana – Steve-n-Ana
Fel – (felnfrank)
Jinky – (StevenandJinky)
Mari – Erichu
Did I miss anyone? I was all excited to see everyone that I forgot to write down the names of attendees. I don't trust my memory anymore so please let me know if I missed your name and please accept my apologies. Tumatanda na kasi ang lola nyo
Gary & Luz graciously offered to pay for our “hot pot” dinner. Thank you Luz & Gary for your generosity. I wish everyday was visa approval day for you so we get to eat free dinner all the time
Thank you Maria (Richard&Maria) and your driver for the ride you provided Karen, Judy and myself so we can go home safely.
Hey Steven, Job is a real “mini-me” of Jinky. Boy, they do look alike.
It was a great feeling to see all you beautiful people last night. It was women’s night as we heavily outnumbered men 3:1. Plus, of course, when the women start talking, there’s nothing the men can do but to just take the photos of the ladies hehehe.
Watch out for the pictures! Gary & Luz will post it in their website soon (Luz, please photoshop the photos that show my gray hair hahahaha)
Thank you for the great time my VJ family!
p.s. GOOD LUCK TO THE INTERVIEWEES TODAY!!!
That sounds like a good party to me. I somehow wish I was there. I know I should count my blessings that I'm done with this whole process but it sure would have been nice to meet all of you in person.
Please post the pics!

But for us still without our sweeties, here's a valentine's poem for all of us... (ladies, please translate for your sweeties. Warning: if you are conservative, please do not read as this might cause offense but this is so funny, I just have to share).
THOUGHTS ON VALENTINE'S DAY
Buti pa ang Kalendaryo, may date
Buti pa ang Hersheys, may kisses
Buti pa ang Probability, may chance
YUNG IBANG TAO, WALA.
Buti pa ang telepono, hini-hello
Buti pa ang film, nadi-develop
Buti pa ang typewriter, nata-type-pan
YUNG IBANG TAO, HINDI.
Buti pa ang exams, sinasagot
Buti pa ang problema, iniisip
Buti pa ang assignment, inu-uwi
YUNG IBANG TAO, HINDI.
Buti pa ang panyo, iniiyakan
Buti pa ang baso, dinadampian ng labi
Buti pa ang unan, inaakap sa gabi
YUNG IBANG TAO, HINDI.
Buti pa ang kamalian, napapansin
Buti pa ang salamin, minamasdan
Buti pa ang hininga, hinahabol
YUNG IBANG TAO, HINDI.
Buti pa ang tindera, nagpapatawad
Buti pa ang awit at tugtog, pinagsasama
Buti pa ang sugat, inaalagaan
YUNG IBANG TAO, HINDI.
Buti pa ang lungs, malapit sa puso
Buti pa ang bra, kakabit ng dibdib
Buti pa ang kotse, mahal
YUNG IBANG TAO, HINDI.
Buti pa ang sobre, nadidilaan
Buti pa ang susi, naipapasok
Buti pa ang itlog, binabati
Buti pa ang doorbell, pinipindot
Buti pa ang keyboard, nafi-finger
Buti pa ang bola, nilalaro
YUNG IBANG TAO, HINDI
(My apologies if I offended any one. Peace.)
mejo mahirap i-translate yan ah. magiging "lost in transition" ang meaning. LOL LOL LOL

Congratulations! There's nothing like an approval, right?

*sigh*
Here we go again.
They meant to send that email to our box and you got it instead.
Go figure.
Me thinks they're a little slow. Hang in there reb!
