    I-129F April 2016 Filers

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Congrats on the marriage!!! Thats a good question!! On our end...we decided to use the original signature and name from the K-1 visa filing since that is the documented name from the start to keep it consistent. I can see a good reason of others putting their new last name but we probably won't do it. Only when it comes to making changes on SSN.

    Hi everyone!!!

    Congrats and best wishes to everyone who got married. :dancing:

    We got married last Nov. 18th. Right now, we are gathering all forms and documents for AOS. Quick question guys, a lot are talking about changing their signature when they get married. Is this true? So on our AOS we need the new or married signature? Im so confuse. Thanks in advance for those who will reply.

    My fiancé arrived at the POE-San Francisco safely!! We have been so truly blessed to be back together again. The questions they asked at POE-San Francisco was: 1) what is the name of your petitioner? 2) When and where did we meet? and; 3) When did we start dating?; That's it! After, we got the passport stamped with the final 90 date. You all have truly been a blessing going through this journey. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at the AOS filer thread. :content::content:

    Fiance just arrived last night!!! Can't put into words how happy we are! :dancing::dance: Every wait is so worth it! Good luck to all and see you at the AOS forum! :)

    POE: LAX

    Consul just asked her one question, "So I think you're going to stay here for good, and for what reason?"

    my Fiance answered, "I'm getting married" :) :) :) and consul said, "That's great, congratulations and welcome to America!" :)

    Congrats!!! So happy to hear that. My fiancé leaves in a couple hours!!! Words can't even begin to describe how exciting it feels!

    We're really hoping and praying for it to be issued and ready for pick up next week. Our POE is 09/09/16, really praying.

    More waiting... but I know it will all be worth it. :)

    Will pray for that. Ours is just tentative Sept 20th and POE will be Detroit, MI. It will be worth it. We have waited for so long for this. :)

    Yes!! The waiting process is painful. I'm sure everything will arrive this upcoming week!! POE is on 9/16 to give some cushion room time for the visa and CFO.

    From what I have seen while monitoring Philippines approvals, the visa is ready at 2GO MOA on average 3-7 business days after interview date. If its been more than 10 business days since your interview and still no visa delivery, then I would call the embassy to ask whats the current issue status.

    Doug in your case since it changed from READY back to AP and its been 8 business days since your interview, I suggest you or your fiance call the US embassy in Manila to request a status update and tell the rep your status changed from READY back to AP.

    Has everyone been checking all the status sites?

    Status...

    CEAC Visa Status Check

    USTravelDocs Passport Tracking Options

    2GO e-Trace

    References...

    How To Track Your Visa Status and Passport (USEM Passport Tracker, CEAC Visa Status Checker)

    2GO: How To Track and Pick Up Your Visa Package (Philippines)

    Thanks Everyone for your wonderful feedback and advice!! Checking the CEAC website, we are now at "ISSUED" since August 31. Now its another waiting game before it arrives at 2GO..... :clock::clock::clock::clock:

    Congrats to all so far!!! Question to all the couples from the Philippines....How long does it typically take until the embassy sends the visa to the 2GO store?

    My fiancé was approved last Thursday morning, so not including Thursday, the weekend and Monday (Philippines Holiday)..we are currently on Day 3 since the interview approval. We have been checking online (CEAC) and it notes that we are still on Administrative Processing with a status update since last Thursday (Aug 25). Thanks all for the advice :)

    Good news to share.....we were APPROVED at our consulate interview today!!! :dance::dance::dance:

    Words can't described how happy we are right now. Its been truly a long process but it's worth it in the end. My fiancé noted that the US officer questions she had to answer was: 1) what was her finances (petitioners) name? 2) When and where did we meet? 3) When did I go here to the Philippines? 4) What is my occupation? and 5) What is her occupation? The Filipino officer questions were all legal documents such as: NBI, CENOMAR, divorce copies, where we met?, when was I divorced? Any kids? and that was it!!

    Very easy process and everything was smooth sailing. Now we are onto the next steps: waiting to pickup the visa, CFO and purchasing plane tickets!!! I wish everyone the best and look forward to reading all of your amazing stories in this difficult process to be with our loved ones. Cheers!! :content:

    Here's what my fiance is bringing:

    1. Passport

    2. 1 photocopy of passport biographic data page

    3. 2 copies of e-mail with case number / 2 copies of nvc letter

    4. 2 copies of visa interview appointment confirmation

    5. 1 copy of online registration form medical - St. Luke's

    8. x-ray film, if available

    This is really exciting and nervous at the same time, i really pray that everything will work well for all of us. :)

    Yes!!! We have mixed feelings but positive. We are mostly excited but having those pre-interview jitters. My fiancé is also bringing a Medical Clearance from a previous surgery. She contacted St. Luke's and they recommended that if she had surgery before to bring a medical clearance. Maybe my fiancé will see your fiancé at the medical and/or interview!!! It would be comforting. Best of luck!!

    I think it is all good! Awesome we got the same interview day! 08/25

    Wow!! hopefully we are blessed to meet you and all those on VJ during the interview

    Hi!

    I went for my medical examination at Saint Luke's Extension Clinic on August 9-10. The guards at the entrance asked for the following:

    1. Original Passport;

    2. 1 Photocopy of passport biographic page, portrait view, not enlarged;

    3. Letter from the NVC stating that your papers has been sent to the consulate (I don't have this, so I brought a printed screen shot of the NVC "case ready" status, accepted without problems);

    4. 4 US Passport photos, name must be written at the back without smears;

    5. Interview appointment confirmation letter ( If available);

    6. Payment: PHP 11,300; and

    7. SLEC online registration form original and photocopy.

    Good luck! :)

    Thanks for your experience on that!! It helps ease our nerves that we are not missing anything. :)

    Hi All,

    So my Fiance's medical is this Tuesday (her time). Both of us have a question about what documents to bring to St. Lukes.....we are bringing the following: embassy interview confirmation (2 copies), NOA2 and NVC letter with MNL number (2 copies), Printed SLEC registration (2 copies), DS-160 confirmation, 11,300 php fee, passport (2 photocopies), original passport, 2x2 passport photos (4 pictures), and some snacks and water for the wait.
