    congrats burrito!

    Thank you. Congrats to you too Margarita and to your fiance for having the visa ;)

    CONGRATS Burrito!!! The worst is now over. Pangako, it gets much easier and way less stressful after this. What a Valentine's Day... Huh? Cheers!!!

    Thank you Sheriff, it is indeed a nice Valentine treat:) Opo, I hope it is really much easier during AOS and more terrific Valentines with Rob by my side:) God bless you and Jhen.

    Aloha! congrats CJ-bangus delight for having the visa on hand! When is she flying?

    Hi PW please update me. I received my visa from DELBROS last Thursday Feb. 22 at 5:00pm Taguig Metro Manila. I had my stamp at CFO today and they gave me hand book and guides to read. I saw the picture of the gorgeous Pinay here including you during the get together. I was near to that area that evening of Feb15 sayang hindi ko kayo nameet ng personal at hindi nakasama ang isa pang maganda hehehe:P :D naunahan kasi ng hiya tsaka hindi ako nagconfirm na sasama :blush: . I read your beauty tips .. I'll keep that on my mind hehe.. My fiance will be here this March 19 to spend a week to help me get ready and to cheer up my family that I will be away. Rob and I will fly back to U.S. together on March 26. Good luck on your interview on April I'll pray for you.

The consul was very kind he even greeted me happy valentines before getting out of the room. Thank you very much everyone for all the inputs and special thanks to PW and Uling:thumbs:

    Good luck to Ate Luz, Thersch and Ken&Maria trust God that you will surely make it because He made you for each other and you surely will. God bless you all.

    First, I want to extend my deepest prayers to those still awaiting the joy for which they rightfully deserve.

    I can not express the overwhelming emotions I feel. My Baby called me yelling... WE'RE APPROVED!!! I somehow always knew but I wanted to officially her it from her lips. SWEET!!! I'm going to give my family and friends a call, get something to eat, sit back and take it all in... This is like winning a big game... It's really cool but we won't the championship. Maramig Salamat for all of you well wishes. I am deeply touched. May God continue to bless us with his grace and mercy.

    Cheers!!!

    Uling

    :dance::dance::dance: Congratulations Uling!!!! God bless you more as Wilma and you start your life together.

    Phil-Am K1 Information…

    (K1 Introduction) - If you are just starting your K1 visa journey, please check out this information provided by the Department of State (DOS) on the K1 visa experience (CLICK HERE). I found this information very insightful when I first started. Please note that the “How to Apply for a Social Security Number Card” section is incorrect because K1 visa beneficiaries can only apply for a SSN card upon arriving into the United States.

    (Case Status) - Once you have filed your case and recieved your case number, please register on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website using the Case Status Online Tool to receive emailed updates concerning your case (CLICK HERE)

    (1). The National Visa Center (NVC) number is within my signature. NVC assigns your case number once your case is approved (NOA2). They also may perform a preliminary background check from what I’ve read then forwards your package/case to the Manila Embassy. This process usually takes anywhere from 14 – 30 days.

    (2). The Manila Embassy (USE) Packet 4, the phone number, a visa interview testimony, along with a sample Appoitment Letter are is within my signature block. NOTE: Packet 4 is acquired from the Manila Embassy website which gives directions on what documents are required by the beneficiary for the visa interview. If you call the Manila Embassy and dial 0 for the operator, ask for the Immigrant Visa Unit. The average interview appointment is assigned approximately 100 – 150 days from the receipt of your package from the NVC. Beneficiaries are now sent an letter of receipt from the USE once their physical files are received. However, this is NOT Packet 3 because the Manila Embassy ONLY issues Packet 4, and the letter of receipt is not always sent to the beneficiaries. Please also check out this instructional visa interview information (CLICK HERE) (Thx Sillygirl)

    (3).The Department of State (DOS) number is within my signature. After your case is approved (NOA2) and reaches the Manila Embassy, you may call DOS instead on the Manila Embassy to obtain status of your case and make inquiries concerning your interview date. NOTE: DOS has no direct participation in the K1 process.

    (4). The Visa Interview Appointments website is within my signature. This is where you can check to see if a visa interview has been scheduled for your case. It is presumed that the website is now the substitution for the visa appointment worksheet/list the Manila Embassy used in the past.

    (5). St. Luke’s Extension Clinic (SLEC) information is within my signature. SLEC is where the beneficiary goes to take the medical exam and vaccination. The process takes two days. Day 1 is the medical exam and Day 2 is the vaccination.

    (6). The DELBROS website is within my signature. DELBROS is the company responsible for delivering the beneficiary’s Visa and POE information. The DELBROS delivery fee is paid subsequent to the beneficiary’s visa interview at the Manila Embassy. Per the Manila Embassy website, the current delivery fee/time is as follows:

    * Metro Manila Areas, 135 Philippine Pesos, Delivered one (1) to three (3) business days after release of visaed passport to the courier

    * Provincial Key Cities (ex. Cebu City, Davao City, etc.) 165 Philippine Pesos; Delivered three (3) to five (5) business days after release of visaed passport to the courier

    * Outside Provincial Key Cities, (ex. Capiz, Leyte, Bukidnon, etc.), Cost depends on area/location, Delivered five (5) to seven (7) business days after release of visaed passport to the courier

    NOTE: Per the DELBROS staff, the Manila Embassy can take as much as three (3) business days to release the visa and POE package, which is NOT included in the deliver times above.

    (7). CFO Guidance and Counseling Seminars are held in Manila and Cebu, with the corresponding links within my signature. The beneficiary may attend whichever location is more convenient. "Per Republic Act 8239 and Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Order 28-94, Filipinos proceeding abroad as fiancé(e)s and spouses of foreign nationals are required to attend the CFO's guidance and counseling programs... " For more info (CLICK HERE). NOTE: As far as I know, this requirement is not stated within the K1 packet. However, the beneficiary can NOT travel without receiving the Guidance and Counseling Certificate and subsequent CFO stamp on the visa. Please check out this instructional information on the CFO experience (CLICK HERE) (Thx Sillygirl)

    (8). The I-94 Arrival / Departure Form is within my signature. Foreigners (beneficiaries) complete the I-94 and the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer stamps the applicant’s arrival and departure portions at the Port of Entry (POE) when entering the States. You will need this for the Adjustment of Status process. NOTE: Even though it’s simple, I have supplied this so you will know what it looks like and what is required to be filled out.

    Cheers!!!

    Sheriff Uling

    NOTE: The red text indicates the recent updates/chages. Please let me know if there are any suggestions. I have also correlated the numbers above to my signature below.

    I was worried that until now I have not receive a letter of receipt from USE I just learn from Uling's info that not all benefiaciaries have it. I think I am one of those. I'll just wait for packet 4. I only got the receipt date of my papers when I inquired at their call center.

    Uling I'll be happy to hear from you soon saying your fiancee has a visa approved. I am one who visit your signature a lot .. and got a lot of tips. Good luck to you and to YYB on your interview this coming Monday and Tuesday. :)
