Our visa is already approved. When we get our visa, it is only the passport with visa on it and some instructions about paying green card and social. There is no yellow envelope inside the visa packet. Is this how it works now for those who underwent CEAC processing?

Hi. For those who did their immigrant visa processing on CEAC or thru electronic processing, did you get your visa (passport) with a yellow envelope in the package? Thanks.

Do you have any idea how long could be the process if ever?I heard other said it really depends on the lawyer who will process it. not just sure if that is true

It may depend on the lawyer. Other factors would be the availability of prosecutors representing the state, and also the case dockets of the court where you will the petition. But it is not a long process. Other lawyers may file it as a special proceeding while others file it as declaratory relief. It depends on the lawyer.

Given the fact that you have a mixed marriage (marriage to a foreigner spouse), the divorce is valid. What you have to do is to ask Philippine courts to acknowledge your divorce decree. In other words, file a petition for recognition of your divorce decree. You only have to attach a certified copy (red ribbon) of your divorce decree and Korean Divorce law showing that your Korean spouse has the capacity to get marry again. It is not a long process actually. It is different process from annulment or nullity of marriages.

How are you checking your visa delivery on 2GO?

Hi. I really dont know the facts of your story. But I assumed that you are a filipino citizen and that you secured a divorce decree in Korea as a filipino citizen residing in Korea.

Were you married to a filipino citizen before? Assuming you were married to a filipino citizen and you are a filipino citizen when the divorce decree was issued in Korea, under Philippine law, the divorce decree is not valid in the Philippines. On the other hand, if your marriage is mixed, like you are married to a Korean national, then the divorce decree is valid and it can be recognized in the Philippines.

What I understand is that the embassy is asking you for a court order recognizing your divorce decree in Korea. That is necessary because we do not have divorce law in the Philippines. In recognition of divorce decree, that case has to be filed at the Regional Trial Court having jurisdiction of your residence. The process for this case is not really long.

What about the remarks on the NBI clearance? Does it matter if the remarks says: No record on file. 

I am really happy for the progress of your immigrant applications. Hoping that we will get our visas soon. My case is still not yet complete. My scan date is July 18, 2016. I am hoping that I will get a case complete this week and an interview appointment.

I read previous posts on how to do opt-out. I myself availed of this opt-out provision under Section 6 of the Child Status Protection Act. Under this law, the beneficiary should be the one making the request, not the petitioner.

My case is not yet complete. AOS and civil documents were received by NVC on July 15, 2016. Until now the NVC has not completed its review. This September 2016, my priority date (F2B - Philippines, November 1, 2005)is already current because NVC is now processing petitions before December 1, 2005. Is it possible to request the NVC for the expeditious review of my documents and schedule my appointment for interview at the US Embassy, in order to take advantage of the current visa bulletin? Thank you for any reply.

Ah. I'm sorry but it's good to know nothing is seriously wrong since there seems to be a few people with mid July scan dates without CC.

Hope we get it soon!![/quote

Have faith to GOD. We will get it this week.

September and still no CC... 6 weeks and 2 days.

Did you called NVC? My documents were received after that and NVC completed my case a few days ago.

Yes, we called NVC and the agent told us to wait until this week. This week is the seventh week.

My documents were received on July 15, 2016. To this date, NVC has yet to review them.

The affidavit of support, I-864 and the tax returns were the only items missing.

Which I can't understand, since they were both in the same package with everything: police certificate, birth certificate, pictures, etc.

They received my documents on July 18. I got the email at midnight Aug 20. PD is Oct2010.

They might have mixed them with other documents.

So your priority date is not yet current. Mine will be current this September. Until now they have not reviewed yet my documents. We sent documents in one package and NVC received them on July 15, 2016. NVC agent told me that my documents are still under review.

They asked us to mail the missing info in. Case on hold until they receive our response.

I'm just annoyed because I KNOW the missing info was included.

Just to clarify, the affidavit of support and the supporting documents were the ones that got lost by the NVC?

It took less than 30 days for the NVC to review your documents. Is your priority date already current?

I just got an email from NVC that we're missing information in my docs. Which is weird, since I literally went over every piece of info that they had asked for.

Too late to contact anyone now, I'll do that in the morning.

What was the instruction given to you by the NVC? Are you going to bring the missing information or documents during your interview at the kocal embassy or what?

If everything is ok with all the documents it should take a month

It's been more than a month and I have not heard yet from the NVC. We sent our documents on July 11, 2016 and they were received by NVC on July 15, 2016. And my priority date will be current next month based on the September visa bulletin.

Yes, I've sent missing documents on June 23rd, and I've received a receipt from NVC on June 26th.

Hello. How many days did you wait for your case completion from the time you submitted your documents up to the time when you finally knew that your case is already completed review? Thank you.

Hello. I am from the Philippines. My priority date is November 1, 2005 under F2B visa category. I read some comments regarding opt out. In my personal case, I availed this opt out considering that waiting time under F2B is lesser than the F1 in the Philippines.

Just to update you guys, I've just received email from NVC. It looks like, it's case completed email. Happy with the current progress. My PD is March 14, 2010.

Dear Sir/Madam,

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all the requested documentation for this immigrant visa

case. The applicant is now in the queue awaiting an interview appointment overseas, where a

consular officer will adjudicate the applicant’s visa application.

NVC schedules appointments one month in advance. The U.S. Embassy or Consulate General

tells us what dates they are holding interviews, and NVC fills these appointments in a first­in, first-

out manner. Most appointments are set within 60 days of NVC receipt of all requested

documentation. However, we cannot predict when an interview appointment will be available.

When we are able to schedule an appointment, we will notify the applicant, petitioner and attorney

(if applicable). The applicant can prepare now by reading about the embassy’s interview

requirements online at http://nvc.state.gov/interview. Thank you for your patience.

The embassy may require additional documents at the interview. In particular, if the following

three items are all true, the applicant must bring a new police certificate to the visa interview:

He or she is more than 16 years old;

one year ago; and

He or she still lives in the country that issued the certificate.

The applicant should not make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until

the embassy has issued a visa.

Sincerely,

Director

National Visa Center

How many days did you wait from the time you submitted your AOS, financial evidence and civil documents up to yesterday when you received email that your case is completed review? In my case, my AOS, financial evidence and civil documents were received by NVC on July 15, 2016. To this date I have not received any email from the NVC.

Welcome to the forum.

Thank you.

I want to ask your opinion on executing AOS, is it okay if my brother-in-law execute I-864A? He is also residing in the same house with my mother.

I think we reached the minimum income rrquirement. My question is do you think it is proper for my brother-in-law, who is residing in the same house with my petitioner, to execute I-864A?

Thank you. I have two derivative beneficiaries. So in filling up the AOS, my mother executed I-864, and my father, my sister and my brother-in-law each executed I-864A. All of them are residing in the same house. Do you think we did okay the AOS?

Hello. I am new in this forum. I am from the Philippines. My priority date is November 1, 2005 under F2B visa category. We just sent AOS, financial evidence and civil documents in one package and it was received by NVC on July 15, 2016. When do you think will i receive case completion and eventually interview letter?
