Go to this site. http://www.delbros.com/ On the right hand side, very near the top type in your case number eg MNL200686abcg\d with a 01 after. For my FIANCEE it was 01 and for her daughter it was 02. Now I don't know if that is just 1 of 2 or about type Visa. K1 K2 K3. So maybe a spouse would type in 03. All I know is this is what is displayed about our Visa, cuz Nerissa didn't really KNOW either. She paid Delbros and got pink slip, but no ya nay or other.

I booked flites for 8/18/2007 to Las Vegas. WE R JAZZED!!!!! I registered 6 y/o Faith for soccer along with my 3 girls. Soccer starts 8/27/07.

So now instead of watching for touches on petition we can watch for touches on Visa's. Yea!

On 8/1/07 at approx 10:30 AM my beautiful, loving, caring, did I say beautiful fiancee and her equally charming daughter were approved for their visas. This is an exciting time for all of us. My children are as excited as I am. I am waiting for them to get visas in hand and then purchase tickets day after that. We are tentatively looking at 8/18/07 as her arrival date. Thanks for all your help in this process. AOS soon. Will need help then also.

Kevin

So let me get this straight. Your wife came here from the PI and left you for a filipina friend? Did you mean filipino? Now it is easy to see why in Dubai they lock passports away.

And I should of sent to VCS (in NO,LA) according to what I just read on the USCIS website! Fraken-A! I would love for it to go to the VSC... but now I am all conserned x2. Things will take longer, and I may have to pay the $455 instead of the $170...

Does anyone have any experiance filling at the wrong center and what happens?

Regards,

Daggo

Don't worry about VT. They are going to get slammed. Won't be anymore 58 day filed to interviews anymore, but with the fee increase it may slow down too. Something to ponder.

DO YOU THINK NEW FEE'S WILL SLOW DOWN K1 and K3 VISA APPLICATIONS?

I FedExed my I-134 2 weeks ago to the Philippines and then last Tuesday FedExed her my bank statement 6/14/07 to 7/13/07 abd paystub dated 7/20. Cost $40.00 and there in 4 days/

I say just mail it with you signing yours as the same date as hers..

I had no idea fees were going up so much.

Quick, give us an update. She made it I am sure!!!!! Way to go.

Kevin

Yours is not the first brown envelope to be opened by mistake nor is it likely to be the last. Please disregard MayDayDas comments. For others who have found themselves in your predicaments it meant returning to the Consulate that issued the brown envelope with the envelope and contents and having them reseal it. They do NOT make you start the visa process all over again. You do need to get the envelope properly re-sealed though, so give them a call and ask them the best way to go about getting this done.

The Consular Section will re-seal it for you.

I have to wonder though, why is someone opening your mail?

It's common in those 3rd world countries for others to open others mail I have heard that.

I did send a letter of cancellation but never heard from anyone. The info is still available about our inbterview on 4/23/07. The NOA 2 expired end of April

Dear Everyone.

My ex fiancee's K! date with destiny was scheduled for 4/23/07. To revisit the story... she broke off our engagement as the date for interview approcahed. She had many fears and was apprehensive about coming to US. Yes I did try to quiet her fears. She has since in recent weeks sent me two emails describing how she misses me, had no idea her life and hardships would be as they are in PI, and has said how sorry she is that the breakup happened. My question. Since our packet is there is it possible to do anything about it? Could it be reopened?

Thansk,

Kevin

Hi Everyone....Great news, I am going to PI on my trip as planned before she dumped on me. I am looking forward to seeing the sights and have one young (32) lady who has agreed to show me around the area. She is a college grad and works for BPI as an admin asst. and has secured the week off for leave. She really makes me laugh and realize that it's just the nature of the game that somethings don't always work out the way WE PLANNED. Will check back in now and again and maybe better news will follow.As far as the former fiananceme' she and I have agreed to meet to exchange personal documents that we each obtained from the other during the process. I am just glad that she showed her true "qualities of love" before coming to USA. I have read in other forums about those ladies. Hope to gets lots of pics to share.

Kevin

azcactus, my advice is not to cancel yet. it sounds to me like she has a touch of "cold-feet", she may be using her family as an excuse. you said you love her, so now show her and her family how much! as her fiance you need to get over there as soon as you can and get to the bottom of this fast, don't wait too long. in her culture and society the family is still extremely important. assure her and her parents that you are not taking her away from them forever, assure her and her parents you will bring her to visit them as often as you can. think about it - if you were to marry a US girl, how often would you visit her family? no one should ever expect that in any marriage (international or local) the spouse would keep them away from their family forever. if you have no intention of bringing her to the Philipines to see her family after you get married, then don't get married to her or any foreign girl for that matter, find a nice local girl (my dad always told me you never just marry the girl, you marry her entire family). if you do get married to her and then not keep your word, be prepared because she will be miserable, which in turn will make you miserable.

the money excuse sounds fishy to me. my experience in the south-east asia is that if you are an american man, you are percieved as rich (whether you really are or not). her family must know this, i would think that if they were really interested in money, then they would very much WANT their daughter to marry a rich american man. they may just be worried that they will never see their daughter again, that is what you need to be prepared for.

"Why are you buying a wife?" - very amusing - sounds like whoever is asking you this needs to grow up, leave their parents house, and go on a date.

I like the Philippines and the people there. I had a great time visiting her dad on Bohol for two days, but not much fun at her mom's place in a squatters area of Rizal near Pasig River. I had told her that after she finished her college work here and we were able to save I would like to spend every other summer on Bohol, but not an excessive amount of time in Manila. I believe Manila has much to offer in sites and such and I plan on doing that while I am there. I have emailed her everyday and have tried to call, but to no avail. I wish she will reconsider as we have both had trials and tribulations in this LDR. The sad thing is we were soooo close to it being finished and now it looks like it is finished, but not thru actions I can control.So yes we would have been back in PI and we would have provided for her family as best we could. Someone said she was testing me. Damn it I don;t want to take the test and I don't wanna be played by her.

That would be the International Marriage Brokers Act which was enacted last year.

"IMBRA imposes limitations on the number of petitions a petitioner for a K nonimmigrant visa for an alien fiancé(e) (K-1) may file or have approved without seeking a waiver of the application of those limitations. If the petitioner has filed two or more K-1 visa petitions at any time in the past, or previously had a K-1 visa petition approved within two years prior to the filing of the current petition, the petitioner must request a waiver...."

Is the waiver part of the K1 packet you ask for at time of new filing or something you can do in advance?

The IMBRA Waiver Request is a letter you put together, basically documenting why you should be allowed to file your I-129F again. The IMBRA Special Topics forum has sample letters that people have put together.

Thank you. Are the chances good if I can explain that my fiancee didn't want to come to US and backed out of our K1?

How do you know when your application has been touched? I'm assuming the date will change on your Case Status page, but since I have yet to see it i don't know what to expect. I know it doesn't really make any difference (seeing that some get touched several times before the next step, some not at all), but I think I might be a little more at ease if I just knew that someone has actually SEEN the physical file.

Since mine was sent to the CPC I'm guessing it will still be a while before it gets touched. Figuratively and literally speaking.

To ease ur mind a bit mine never changed from the date of NOA 1. I worried and fretted and the NOA 2 received via email.

This does sound monetary in its entirety, and if your fiance is an earner then naturally her family are terrified that without her working, they will suffer. Maybe you could offer a dowry when you visit? and like others have said, promise to send a regular monthly amount to the family. Your fiance is probably torn between being with you and ensuring her family are ok. Personally if I thought something would adversely affect my family then I would be torn too no matter how much I loved my fiance. I know its sounds harsh but money could resolve this issue.

And that is the ? I have been asked most, " Why are you buying a wife?"

What I see from this man's post is 'should I cancel because I know I'll be importing some hapless woman to be my wife just as soon as I can'.

In my opinion, he doesn't love this woman, he's only sore because she's rejected him despite the 'obvious' financial benefits.

As well, as the fact she's 'wasted his time' when he could have been busily getting any other woman who would have him imported.

God spare me from a man like him...I pity the woman he will most likely eventually procure.

I see what a BAD Reader u r or just a mean ol bitty. Didn't ask for judgment, just advice on canceling.

I gotta say again--as the Non USC in the relationship--that it is a very very big step to leave your country, family, HOME. Even if it is for love. I can only imagine how much more difficult it must be and scarey when your family is not emotionally supportive on top of all that.

The question I don't think I have seen you answer yet is "DO YOU LOVE HER?" I know you've mentioned other women, more fishies in the sea, and having met online. Are you simply looking for a wife--any wife--any foreign wife? Or have you spent all this time with this woman and her child because you love them? I know that you must be heart broken about her sudden change of heart--but honestly, it may be the fear speaking on her part. She may simply need you to go and reassure her. It may not be fair to you emotionally-but she may be testing you to some degree. Or she may seriously be that afraid to go and abandon her family.

Personally, I wouldn't cancel anything yet. You are already going there, you have nothing to lose (not even the monetary since it's already booked and paid for) you may find that things can be worked through and- if not -at least you know you went down fighting.

either way, good luck

Yes I LOVE HER very much!!!!!! I have been sending her an email everyday asking why, but so far no reply.

Dear Members,

As some of you are aware my fiancee has decided to cancel our K1. I have no reasons other than that her family advised her not to, what about discrimination here, what if her daughter wanted to go back and questions about support of her family as she is the only peso maker in her household.

Is it in my best interest to notify CSC and the USE in Manila and make them aware of this? I am almost certain that I will be down this road again, but what about now. Would notifying them with her email attached saying that she does not want to pursue this K1 anymore help?

I need your helpful suggestions not judgement.

Thanks to all who reply.

Kevin

Are you 100% sure its over? If she changed her mind before the interview, would you take her back? If you're not 100% sure, I'd wait till after your visit at least. Good luck with whatever you decide

Absolutely I would take her back. I pray she changes her mind.

So how did you meet your mate?

I've known my mate for 4 years before we even started going out. She lived in the US with her sister and we used to go out (me and her along with a few other people) about every other weekend. Nothing special, just going out and having fun as a group. She finally went back to her country and one day I asked her sister what happened to her since I haven't seen her in a long time. Her sister told me that she went back to her country and gave me her phone number if I wanted to call her. I called her and we started talking every day after that.

You see, our relationship didn't materialize in a few days or weeks. It actually took 4 years for us to realize we had feelings for each other.

You are one lucky guy. I would say the majority of us had not had that luxury of meeting a foreigner like that. We use the internet probably.
